Addington Highlands libraries take on expanded roleby Jeff Green

June Phillips, from the Addington Highlands library service, told council this week that Service Canada wants to use the township’s libraries to deliver their services to the public.

Employment services, information about passport applications, social insurance numbers, and a variety of other services will be available online at the libraries in Flinton and Denbigh. Under the proposal the libraries will be open for increased hours as well, with the Denbigh library being open 21 hours a week, and the Flinton library being open 20 hours a week.

Over the past few years, each of the libraries has been enhanced, both acting as public internet access sites through the CAP (Community Access Portal) program. They currently offer high speed internet, wireless networking, three complete work stations and one laptop. This makes them ideal candidates for becoming Service Canada Outreach centres to serve Addington Highlands , and parts of North Frontenac and the Griffith and Hardwood Lakes areas of Renfrew County .

June Phillips was in a hurry when she came to council, however. “Service Canada wants council’s approval for this by tomorrow (February 6) in order to set up the project to start in March,” she told council.

“It appears to be bringing a benefit, an improvement over what we’ve already got,” said Reeve Henry Hogg.

Council unanimously passed a resolution, allowing June Phillips to proceed with the project.

In the next few weeks, one staff member from each of the two branches will attend training in Peterborough , and they will bring the information back to the rest of the staff members. Details about what services will be available and expanded library hours will be communicated to the public over the next few weeks.

PINE MEADOW Kim Harvey and Valerie Bird, representing management and unionized staff from the Pine Meadow Nursing Home, came to council to ask for support as they face an uncertain future in the face of Bill 140, a new nursing home act that is working its way through the Ontario Legislature.

While Harvey and Bird praised some of the provisions in the act, particularly those proposing increased levels of mandatory care, they expressed concerns that the act will make the long term prospects for Pine Meadow uncertain. Kim Harvey said Pine Meadow has two main areas of concern. The first is with Licensing. Pine Meadow has what is called a “perpetual license”. As long as the home lives up to a stipulated set of standards, the license will remain in place.

“The New Act sets a limit of 15 years for licensing. After that time, the Ministry of Health can decide to upgrade our facility, leave it as it is, or close it down and move our 60 beds somewhere else. This makes it hard for us to plan, to say the least,” Harvey told Council.

The second area of concern for Kim Harvey is with the level of care that Pine Meadow currently offers.

“We would like to have only semi-private and private rooms and close our four-bed rooms, and we would like to improve our dining facilities, which are too small. These are available at “A” class facilities, for which patients pay the same amount of money, but we have had no luck in getting a commitment from the government for an upgrade, and this act does nothing to make improvements any more likely,” Harvey said.

In three different meetings with MPP Leona Dombrowsky and one meeting with Minister of Health and Long Term Care George Smitherman, Harvey told council that she had a good hearing to her requests to improve the facility, but received no commitment. To her fear that instead of being improved the home might actually be closed down, Kim Harvey quoted Leona Dombrowsky, who told her “It won’t come to that.”

She asked council to send a letter to the Ministry of Health asking that Pine Meadow be enhanced. Council agreed, and a letter will be prepared by staff for council to approve at their next meeting.

CELL PHONE FRUSTRATION Council received a report from the Economic Development Committee concerning the lapsing of the township’s offer of a $50,000 grant to any cell phone operator who would put up cell phone towers on Highway 41.

The offer of the grant came about after a 10,000 name petition in support of cell phone expansion, accompanied by letters of support from upper level politicians, received no response from the cell phone companies. The township even contacted TVO, which owns a tower located at Bon Echo Park , and were assured that TVO could make the tower available to a cell phone company, assuring the township that rental fees would not be a limiting factor. The cell pone companies were informed about this but none of them contacted TVO.

The Economic Development Committee’s report to council, written by Ken Hook, offered up an explanation for the cell phone companies’ lack of interest in making an investment in Addington Highlands.

“It should be noted that discussions with Bell Canada have indicated the federal government encourages enhanced high-speed internet in urban areas and this is taking most of the infrastructure budget from cell phone companies in 2007. This is apparently at the expense of some rural areas that do not have basic cell service let alone high-sped DSL service.”

Council accepted the report’s recommendation, and will be asking the County of Lennox and Addington to petition the federal government to “correct the inequity of basic cell service in Eastern Ontario by demanding cell phone companies provide usable service to rural residents for reasons of health and safety and economic development.”

Snyder gets close, but no Oak Flats roadwork yetby Jeff Green

Central Frontenac Councilor Bill Snyder has expressed many opinions in the past nine years, but if there is one issue he has been identified with, it is the Oak Flats Road.

In the year before municipal amalgamation, Snyder was a member of the Hinchinbrooke Township Council that initiated improvements to the Oak Flats Road, improvements that were slated for completion the next year. With amalgamation, the concerns of four former townships were integrated into one roads budget, and the Oak Flats Road repair never reached the priority level it had back in Hinchinbrooke days.

Year after year, Bill Snyder has asked that the road be considered for construction work, and each year it has been left off the list. Not content to wait once again for the roads budget to be discussed, Snyder put forward a motion at Monday night’s council meeting, asking that necessary repairs be done to the road this year, and that it be paved in 2008.

Councilor Frances Smith immediately moved that the motion be tabled to budget discussions. The motion to table was defeated, and a debate ensued

Frances Smith said that it is not a good idea to make a “commitment to this one road, which has been costed out at $185,000, before looking at the budget. I think it would be foolhardy to do this at this time.”

Bill Snyder, his voice hoarse from a case of pneumonia that he is fighting, said, “The budget comes down in one big lump and we don’t get a chance to say anything about it. And the same old s--- comes out. I’m sick of it.”

Mayor Janet Gutowski, who during the recent election expressed support for doing work on the Oak Flats Road, said “I have to say that to approve road construction, pre-budget, would not be responsible of council. I have also been unhappy with the budget process in the past, and I am committed to doing things differently this year. It’s probably going to be supported when we do the budget, I can guarantee that.”

Councilor Snyder asked for a recorded vote on the motion. Gary Smith said he would abstain, but was informed an abstention is in effect a no vote, because a majority of members present are required for a motion to pass. In all, four councillors; Snyder, Philip Smith, John Purdon and Norm Guntensperger, supported the motion. Councillors Frances Smith, Bob Harvey, Jeff Matson, Gary Smith, and Mayor Gutowski all voted against the motion and it was defeated.

Contacted the following day, a defiant Bill Snyder said he was not about to give up trying to convince council to repair the Oak Flats road.

Northern RuralYouth Partnernshipby Jeff Green

Last October, an innocuous little item in the Frontenac News asking for interested parties to attend a meeting about services for youth in Central and North Frontenac led to a tremendous response. Thirty people, including representatives from Sharbot Lake High School, social service agencies, community groups and the general public showed up to talk about how the lack of activities for youth in the two townships can be addressed.

Four months later, the Northern Rural Youth Partnership, as it has been named, made their first presentation to Central Frontenac Council. Lori Hamilton, who has been hired with the help of a grant from the Eastern Ontario Development Program, told council of the initiatives that are underway. With help from Cindy Scott from Sharbot Lake High School , a youth committee, dubbed NACFAC (North and Central Frontenac Activity Committee for Youth) has been established; a recreation and activity guide for the two townships is being prepared; and a two year grant from the province is being sought. The grant will be used to increase access for youth to activities that already exist, purchase portable recreation equipment, and co-ordinate the project and develop recreational leaders.

Lori Hamilton and Sue Leslie, from Northern Frontenac Community Services (the lead agency for the project), asked that council agree to post the activity guide on their website; to provide a limited amount of staff time to the project as needed; and to take on the responsibility for looking after equipment if some is received.

The presentation was well received by council, which agreed to support the project.

NACFAC is organising some events for the coming month, including a movie night and a ski trip. For further information, contact Lori Hamilton at 279-2244. Anyone or any group that provides recreational activities is asked to submit their information to the activity guide, which is being called the Rural Recreation Guide please see the ad on page 8.

Pine Lake Politicsby Jeff Green

Last July, AAFNA removed trees and brush at the Pine Lake boat launch, which is located mostly on Crown land and partially on municipal land.

All lands within the Mississippi Valley watershed, which encompasses Pine Lake , are considered by AAFNA as un-ceded Algonquin territory. This position has been accepted in principle by both the federal and provincial governments, who are now negotiating a land claim with Algonquin communities.

For a variety of reasons, AAFNA has rejected the current land claims process. They have decided to take matters into their own hands and are asserting their aboriginal claim at Pine Lake .

Over the summer and fall, AAFNA has continued to develop the grounds at the boat launch, and are planning to build a band office at the site across from the Pow Wow grounds. Later in the fall, land was cleared across the road for a proposed parking lot, with a community centre being envisioned for the future.

Three-way negotiations have been ongoing for months between AAFNA, staff officials from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and North Frontenac Township (as represented by Mayor Maguire).

According to Ron Maguire, a memorandum of understanding between the three had been in the works in December, before the township’s chief building officer issued a cease work order to the Ministry of Natural Resources, (who are the registered owners of the land) because building permits have not been taken out.

As Maguire pointed out to the Frontenac News, he has no authority over the building officer’s decision, because the building officer works under the authority of the building code and not the township on these matters.

Subsequently, the MNR has informed the township that they (the MNR) are not subject to municipal regulation, and Maguire is again optimistic that a memorandum of understanding can be reached.

The details and language of the memorandum are being worked out, but it would entail that the MNR and the township agree not to interfere with AAFNA’s plans on either side of the Ardoch Road . AAFNA would agree to comply with environmental and building code standards of the province and the township, which they will enforce upon themselves.

In the heat of the council debate last week, Maguire said Councillor Cole’s motion would put an end to these negotiations. He later told the News that this is not the case. Council made him the contact person on this matter in July and set out a four point plan which he is following. The new council confirmed him in that role in December, so he says he will carry on in trying to bring a memorandum of understanding forward for council’s consideration.

Farms vs. City folk in South Frontenacby Wilma Kenny

Farms vs City Folk in South Frontenac by Wilma Kenny

A subdivision application in Storrington district is raising concerns that would be common to any housing development being planned close to working farms. A proposal for 14 lots, half of them wa-terfront and the other half bordering on a working beef and pig farm, brought 6 let-ters from local farm interests mentioning land use conicts. They listed noise (cows and calves at weaning, grain dryers, night ploughing), smells from stored and spread manure, and potential danger from cattle, both bulls and cows. Organic farming might prevent pesti-cide use on adjoining properties, and pet dogs running loose might be a problem to the farmers. Jeff Peters, the nearest farmer to the proposed subdivision, em-phasized he was not opposed to appro-priate development along the waterfront, but recommended the land bound lots be replaced by a buffer zone. Barry Camp-bell, the developer, countered that anyone purchasing one of the lots could see for themselves that there were farms nearby. Deputy Mayor Stowe pointed out that the present zoning of the property in ques-tion permitted 74 camping trailers, which might lead to more land use conicts than the proposed subdivision. Township planner Lindsay Mills said there was some question about the prop-er minimum distance setback (MDS), and recommended that Council receive the re-ports pertaining to the application, defer-ring any decision until the MDS had been claried. This was done.Fire Department’s Recruiting Drive Succeeds South Frontenac’s volunteer re depart-ments will be bringing at least two dozen new recruits on board next month. This will be a welcome boost to the volunteer re-ghter corps, which is still below its quota of 160 members. Council approved pur-chase of 30 sets of bunker gear for a total of $75,000 to outt the new reghters.New Deputy Treasurer Council appointed Suzanne Rummell as Deputy-Treasurer: Ms Rummell was chosen from over 50 applicants for the position.Township Fuel Tanks to be Replaced Public Works Manager Bill Blum reported that the Township’s insurance carrier requires annual (expensive) testing of all underground fuel tanks after 20 years, and removal of same after 25 years. As many of the township’s fuel tanks are 25 or more years old and the rest approach-ing that age, Council agreed to his recom-mendation that all the underground tanks be replaced this year by above-ground ones, which are much easier to monitor. Total cost of replacing the tanks is esti-mated to be $90,000.Policy Change After one township councillor spent 5 hours New Years Eve night stranded in his car waiting for the morning sander to come by, Council agreed that in the case of freezing rain, the sanders should be called out 24/7: whenever they’re needed on local roads.

Fire hall aquatic centre gains favour

As demolition crews prepare the take down the historic fire hall in Sharbot Lake, thinking about what’s to be done with the site in the future has coalesced around a proposal to turn it into a swimming pool/aquatic Centre to serve the entire township.

The project, which is being touted by staff after an earlier proposal to establish paid parking at the site was poorly received, came about as the result of an unsolicited proposal from Aquatic Enterprises, a consulting firm from Ottawa headed by former Canadian Olympian Graham Limpert. Limpert gained fame throughout Canada when he won a bronze medal in the 150 metre breaststroke event at the 1988 Olympic games in Seoul, Korea, an event that was overshadowed by the Ben Johnson doping scandal.

He presented a report at the tale end of a Central Frontenac Council budget meeting late on Monday night, and, although council was initially overwhelmed by the $4 million price tag of the project, they eventually decided to ask for a more detailed response at a hastily organized special meeting, which will be held this Sunday at an undisclosed location.

The proposal includes a 12.5 metre long pool, which Limpert admitted was shorter than normal, but “acceptable in a tight space such as the one we are working with”, as well as dry and wet saunas, showers, an aqua-fit centre, a small railway museum and other amenities.

“This is a great idea. We can have swimming programs year round for children and youth, and it will give a much needed boost to our tourist base in the shoulder seasons,” said one councillor.

Graham Limpert told council that he has approached Frontenac County with the idea, and he presented a supporting letter Counties’ Economic/Statistics Department, which stated, in part, that the “County of Frontenac finds this proposal exciting, and has agreed to seek a grant to commission a demographic study of the region, to look at the cultural, social, economic and fiscal impacts such a facility would have on the County as a whole.”

“Whenthis came up at County Council, they were not been forthcoming in terms of funding,” admitted the Mayor, “they seem to want Central Frontenac to carry the whole load, which is short sighted in my view, but I’m working on them.”

“We certainly couldn’t fund this in one year,” said one of the Oso Councillors,” but maybe if we amortized it over 8 years we would only have to pay $500,000 this year.”

As Council began mulling over where they could find an extra $500,000 in this year’s budget, which equals the entire annual road construction budget, a proposal came from an unlikely source.

“We could defer the Mountain Grove Fire hall,” said Councillor Norm Guntensperger,” I know that will be controversial, but we have waited so long that one year won’t make that much difference as long as we get a firm commitment for ’08.”

“Are you sure the firefighters will agree to that?” asked another Councillor.

“I’ll have to sell it to them. I’ve been as strong an advocate for the fire hall as anyone else, but as I’ve sat on Council these last few months, I’ve come to realize that what’s good for Sharbot Lake really is good for Central Frontenac,” Guntensperger replied. “I’d rather have a swimming pool in Mountain Grove, where we don’t even have a lake, but that really isn’t in the cards.”

Council accepted Graham Limpert’s proposal for information purposes and directed staff to explore funding options and bring back a report to Sunday’s special meeting, which will be held in camera.

Let's run this one up the flag pole, shall we?by Jeff Green

Members of Frontenac County Council seemed surprised last week when Emergency Services Manager Paul Charbonneau submitted a report that concluded, “As the County of Frontenac matures it is evident that a county flag would be appropriate, as there have been times that we could use such a flag.”

Charbonneau pointed out that at some meetings which the paramedic service attends, counties bring their flags for awards ceremonies. He also proposed flying the flag at county ambulance stations, two of which are located in Kingston.

“I wonder how the City of Kingston will react to our flying the county flag at those bases,” said Frontenac Islands Mayor Jim Vanden-Hoek.

Charbonneau’s report also pointed out that several years ago the county introduced a “broad series of identifier items, including a tie, a binder clip, pens and markers, lapel pins, jackets for councillors, etc.”

“Did we really have jackets?” asked South Frontenac Mayor Gary Davison, “I wouldn’t mind an Armani one.”

Charbonneau proposed that the current county logo, which includes a sailing ship and a wheat sheaf, be set against a white background in the flag. The cost of the project is $75 for set up and $115 per flag.

Council agreed to pay for the set up and five flags.

“There’s a real protocol over how to take care of flags that we need to make sure is followed,” said Central Frontenac Mayor Janet Gutowski. “I was a girl guide when I was young, so I can’t help but be concerned about this kind of thing.”

Central Frontenac tax increase at 4% and countingby Jeff Green

At their first kick at the budget can, Central Frontenac Council sent staff back to look for $100,000 in savings.

By deferring the building of a planned salt containment unit for a year, and fine tuning some other budget numbers, staff came to the 2nd budget meeting with $132,740 in savings. This would have resulted in an increase in local taxation of 2.3% in 2007. Coupled with the Frontenac County and education budgets, it would have resulted in an overall increase to taxpayers of 1.7%.

Council then began spending some of those savings.

The first issue to come up was a longstanding road construction issue that has been brought forward year after year by Deputy Mayor Bill Snyder - the reconstruction of a section of the Oak Flats Road, which has been estimated as a $115,000 project.

Staff had made changes to the roads construction budget that had been presented to council one week earlier, based upon recommendations from Public Works Manager Bill Nicol (who returned from an extended leave last week. Nicol also submitted his resignation, effective March 30). Based on Nicol’s understanding of the road requirements in the township, some budget numbers were changed, and two projects, one on Elm Tee Road and one on McLean Road, were removed from the list for 2007, but the Oak Flats Road project was still not included in the list of budgeted items.

“I’m trying to stay calm here,” Bill Snyder said, “I still have problems with this list. How do these roads even get picked? I think it’s evil that the Oak Flats Road, which was started before amalgamation occurred, and was almost approved even before the budget started, is still not on the list. I’m really sick of this.”

“That was because staff brought forward recommendations based on technical information. This is the opportunity for council to change this list, if that’s what they want,” said Mayor Janet Gutowski.

Gutowski then forwarded a suggestion that proposed repairs on two other roads, Eagle Lake Road and White Lake Road be deferred for another year, freeing up $93,300 in total.

Council agreed to this, and the Oak Flats Road project was added to the budget.

Kennebec Councillor Gary Smith then piped in concerning the Elm Tree Road, which he said is badly in need of repair and should be included in the list of projects for 2007.

In the end the $46,100 proposed for the Elm Tree road was included in the draft budget, and savings will be sought in other parts of the budget.

In total, the tinkering with the roads budget led to an increase of $67,800 from the numbers staff had brought forward at the beginning of the meeting.

This meant that if the budget were passed with no further changes, the local tax rate would be up 4% and the overall rate 2.7%.

A discussion concerning the waste management budget led to no changes.

Council will be meeting again on Tuesday, April 3rd, at 5 pm to continue their budget deliberations. Fire Chief Mark MacDonald will be on hand to discuss the fire budget.

Nicol resigns againby Jeff Green

Interim Central Frontenac Chief Administrative Officer John DuChene formally informed Central Frontenac Council that Public Works Manager Bill Nicol has submitted his resignation, effective the end of this week.

A search is already underway for Nicol’s replacement.

Bill Nicol submitted his resignation once before, in early December, but at that time he was persuaded to stay on just as an advertisement for his replacement was about to be circulated. In mid-January, he went on leave for unspecified reasons. He returned in mid-March, only to submit his two-week notice. During his final two weeks on the job he assisted staff in preparing information for budget deliberations.

“We are going to be doing an administrative review this year, which may change some aspects of the Public Works Manager’s job, but we need to hire someone in the interim,” said Mayor Janet Gutowski.

Mountain Grove Fire hall to go to tender after all John DuChene reported to council that he received a letter last week from Cornerstone Construction. “The letter effectively said that Cornerstone cannot meet the square metre cost for the Mountain Grove fire hall that they provided for the Sharbot Lake Hall.” In January, Council narrowly gave approval to a plan whereby Cornerstone would be given the contract for the Mountain Grove Hall without tendering, provided they could meet the same price per square metre they provided for the just completed Sharbot Lake hall.

The contract will now be tendered. Council gave staff the authority to initiate the process towards getting design plans in place and tendering the project.

Garrison Shores back to the drawing board – Just when it seemed the Garrison Shores bureaucratic nightmare was about to end, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs weighed in this week. The ill-fated development on Garrison Lake near Arden, which was initiated in 1980 by developers that are long gone, leaving dozens of property owners with no deed to their properties, has been the subject of much township work over the past 10 years or more. A proposed Official Plan amendment that would make the existing properties legal and protect the lake from further development was developed by township planning consultant Glenn Tunnock.

However, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, in a draft decision by one of its planners, Laurie Miller, rejected proposed language by Tunnock which set out a 20 metre setback from the high water mark for the development, seeking to replace it with a 30 metre setback, which is in the township’s Official Plan and has become the norm in Eastern Ontario.

Miller appeared before Council, and she said she would be happy to meet with Glenn Tunnock and the lawyer for the Garrison Shores Owners Association to work out a solution.

They are hoping to have something in place within 60 days.

Pine Lake residents want in, says David Roseby Jeff Green

David Rose brought a clear message to North Frontenac Council on March 22.

In his role as president of the Pine Lake Property Owners’ Association, a group that was formed in response to the building being undertaken by the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation (AAFNA) at the Pine Lake boat launch, Rose said that he represents “the one group that is most directly affected by this development, and as such we would like Council to keep us fully informed as to what is happening.”

AAFNA representatives attended a meeting at the invitation of the Pine Lake Association way back on August 5th, but a letter from the Association to AAFNA outlining their concerned regarding the development, dated August 13th, has not received a response. In October, an invitation to AAFNA to attend a meeting of the Association also received no response.

It could be that some of the language in the letter put AAFNA off.

While the contents of the letter dealt mainly with issues of practical concerns, it described the Pine Lake project as “an illegal occupation by AAFNA of lands currently titled to the Crown and managed by the MNR.” AAFNA contends that they have legal title to the boat launch at Pine Lake and other land in North Frontenac.

David Rose also told council that he had a telephone conversation in December with Brent Whetung, an AAFNA family head dealing with communications.

On February 17th, Brent Whetung sent David Rose a letter stating that he had been “instructed by the Family Heads Council to cease all communication with you. It is our belief that the Pine Lake Association prides itself on ‘indian’ bashing, promoting hatred and especially pressuring North Frontenac Township, (Cole) in challenging our community into ‘confrontation’ by creating misconceptions and inaccuracies about AAFNA.

AAFNA Family Heads will make every attempt to maintain peace and order in our community, our only expectation is that you do the same.”

Last week David Rose told council, “We are concerned that the township is involved in meetings that we know nothing about, that we are not copied with correspondence about Pine Lake that could have an effect on our interests.”

Mayor Ron Maguire apologized for taking a long time to respond to a letter that Rose had sent him in October.

“But as you know, things were changing, and I didn’t want to write a letter that would be out of date by the time you received it. I met with you on New Year’s Eve, and you have my phone number. You can always call me,” Maguire said.

“Our main concern is with safety, and the environment,” Rose said, “We are a stakeholder in all of this, more so than the OPP, who I see are copied with all correspondence. What does the OPP have to do with any of this?”

The Pine Lake Association did receive a letter from David Ramsay, the Ontario Minister of Natural Resources, on January 9th.

In it Ramsay wrote, “If MNR is to consider authorizing AAFNA to develop facilities on Crown land at Pine Lake, the applicable Environmental Assessment process would have to be completed. This process would include public notice to adjacent landowners and interested stakeholders soliciting their comments on the proposal.”

Ron Maguire informed David Rose that the entire North Frontenac Council, and senior staff, had been invited to a meeting of the AAFNA Family Heads Council on March 25th.

He promised to request that the Pine Lake Association be included in as many meetings as possible, and said he would keep the organisation informed as to what is going on.
