The Lake Plan Malcolm and Ardoch Lakes Background Document THE LAKE PLAN MALCOLM AND ARDOCH LAKES BACKGROUND DOCUMENT i DISCLAIMER The information contained in this document is for information purposes only. It has been collected from sources we believe to be reliable, but completeness and accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The Malcolm Ardoch Lake Landowners’ Association (MALLA) and its members are not liable for any errors or omissions in the data and for any loss or damage suffered based upon the contents herein. Maps are provided only for general indications of position and are not designed for navigational purposes. Boaters and snowmobilers/all-terrain vehicles must take due care at all times on the lakes; users of the lakes are responsible for their own safety and well-being by making themselves aware of any hazards that may exist at any given time. BACKGROUND Preliminary work for the Lake Plan began in 2012 when the Malcolm Ardoch Lakes Association executive were asked for information related to the water quality of the two lakes. Some information was available through the Ministry of the Environment Lakes Partner Program due to the efforts of Ron Higgins for Malcolm and Ruth Cooper for Ardoch Lake who conducted water sampling to provide Secchi data. A second source was the five-year sampling rotation conducted by Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority. The implications of water quality and water levels initiated discussions about the need for consistent monitoring on the lakes. A Committee was formed under the leadership of Ron Higgins and topics beyond water quality were identified. A land development proposal for Ardoch Lake became an urgent matter and the Lake Plan was delayed. At the Malcolm Ardoch Lake Association Annual General Meeting in June 2013, there was renewed interest in the Lake Plan. Many from the original planning committee committed to contribute; all of these members are seasonal residents. No leader came forward at that time. MALLA executive intended to survey all land owners from the lakes to guide their efforts for the coming term. Thus, a decision about the Lake Plan was postponed until survey results were available. In the spring of 2014 a Chair who was a permanent resident, was identified and planning began again. Meetings were concentrated between end of May and mid-October. All members use technology as a major communication device; much consultation is via e-mail; deadlines for tasks are set and the process proceeds. ii THE LAKE PLAN A lake plan is a strategic “living” document to identify and implement priority actions and recommendations for the watershed, the environment and the community. It requires the collective action of property owners, community lake users, and government agencies to be successfully implemented. Although it is not a legal document, it aims to influence the decision-makers who have the authority to protect our ecosystems. At the time of writing, the updated North Frontenac Township Official Plan remains in draft form. In order that the lake plan is accepted by the municipality, public meetings would be required to change zoning by-laws. The lake plan is a multi-year process and will require ongoing updates and revisions. The Stewardship Committee will prepare a two-part report: 1) A State of the Lake report which provides the scientific data collected; and 2) The Executive Summary which focuses upon priorities and recommended actions to be taken. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN The Lake Plan will: Provide a resource document (a baseline for future comparisons) concerning the present lake capacity as defined by multiple factors such as water quality, social factors, fish and wildlife, recreational use, land use and aesthetics Foster positive relationships with property owners Use education to encourage lake users and public to respect and preserve the character of the lakes Identify environmental concerns and provide recommendations for action Aim to influence decision-makers to develop and maintain policies and programs that ensure the protection and enhancement of the great natural resources-our lakes. iii PRINCIPLES AND VALUES A lake plan is designed to be a community plan that uses a process of consultation, collaboration and consensus building. Although the Stewardship Committee may facilitate the process, it belongs to all property owners and lake users from the community. It is not a legal document and is not designed to regulate or give authority to individuals. The power and influence of a lake plan comes only with self- regulation. Through education and communication with the public, the process can be open, transparent and meaningful. The main principle for its success is voluntary stewardship. As expressed in the 2013 survey to property owners, the following are the key values identified: Protection of the lake for future generations Peace and tranquility Precaution in the nature and degree of development around the lakes Respect for the rights of property owners An environmentally friendly lifestyle Participation, collaboration and shared responsibility TARGET AREAS OF THE LAKE PLAN: 1.0 Sense of Community 2.0 Water Quality and Water Levels 3.0 Fish and Fish Habitat 4.0 Natural Environment 5.0 Land Use and Development 6.0 Social and Recreational 7.0 Municipal Services iv PARTNERS IN LAKE MANAGEMENT The Stewardship Committee appreciated the expertise shared by partner organizations such as: Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority Township of North Frontenac Lake Partners Program of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry North Frontenac Lake Association Alliance Watersheds Canada ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The preparation of this document would not have been possible without the assistance of staff members from Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, Love-Your-Lake Team from Watersheds Canada and the Canadian Wildlife Federation. Malcolm Ardoch Lakes Landowners’ Association wishes to thank those who made a financial contribution for the printing of the Lake Stewardship Plan. v MALCOLM/ARDOCH LAKE STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE MEMBERS Brenda Martin, Chair John Cooper Ruth Cooper Mary Gessner Brian Palmer Bernard Griswold Brian Schonauer Consultants: Alyson Symon, Mississippi Conservation Valley Authority (MVCA), watershed planner Bob Garrett, retired Geologist (Geology section) Andrea Lee, Mississippi Conservation Authority (MVCA), planner assistant Erin MacDonald, Ministry Natural Resources and Forestry, biologist Barbara King, Watersheds Canada Emily Bacon, Love Your Lake Initiative Township Rep: Gerry Martin (MALLA) Pauline Bleeks, MALLA Webmaster Zachary Baker (Junior Writer) for Wildlife Species at Risk and of Special Concern section vi CONTRIBUTIONS Roy and Sandy Burgess Dave and Sharon Byrd Clarendon Miller Community Archives John and Ruth Cooper Mary Graham Marlene Gray Jeff Green Anne Hamilton Ron Higgins Pat Jamieson Lloyd Jones Don and Brenda Martin Cathy and Trevor Owen Loretta Schonauer Richard and Carolyn Waclawik Bob and Ina Watkins Dan and Sheryl Weber Jack and Lois Weber Dennis Weagant Jim Whitten Justin and Sylvia Whitten vii ACRONYMS MALLA Malcolm Ardoch Lakes Landowners’ Association NFLAA North Frontenac Lake Associations Alliance MVCA Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority NFT North Frontenac Township MNRF Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry DOF Department of Fisheries and Oceans MOECC Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change TP Total Phosphorous DOC Dissolved Organic Carbon EIS Environmental Impact Studies PWQO Provincial Water Quality Objective DSL Digital Subscriber Line CRTC Canadian Radio Television & Telecommunications Commission TDS Total Dissolved Solids a.s.l.

Contemporary newspapers were scanned to obtain a chronicle of the signi• ficant sporting developments and events during the period between the first Fraser River gold rush of 18 58 and the completion of the transcontinental Canadian Pacific Railway in 188 5. During this period, it is apparent that certain sports facilitated a rapid expansion of activities when the railway brought thousands of new settlers to the province in the closing years of the century.

    PSALMS FOR MOTHER EMANUEL ELEGY FROM PITTSBURGH TO CHARLESTON the pittsburgh foundation | 2016 FOREWORD All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. — ROMANS 8:28 It requires a lot of faith to practice Romans 8:28. On June 17, 2015, a gunman walked into Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church and opened fire on women, men and children concluding a Bible Study while their eyes were closed, “watching God.” The nine people killed were armed with Bibles and the Holy Spirit. My childhood friend and ministerial colleague, Rev. Clementa Pinckney, was killed. Our text message stream is still in my cellphone; I will not erase it. Waltrinia Middleton, a college friend, and her aunt, Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor, were killed. These personal relationships made the tragedy sink in even more. On July 10, 2015, the Confederate flag was removed from the South Carolina State House. Many in my state and across the nation began having more serious conversations about race. I tremble thinking what it cost us to get there. Emanuel A.M.E. Church is one of the most historic African- American churches in the nation. And Charleston is dubbed the “Holy City” for the plethora of churches that make up its landscape. Every corner of Charleston reminds us of past prejudices, recent hates and an optimistic future. There is a beauty in the city that is majestic. The nation saw it in the outpouring of love after June 17. The Book of Psalms was the hymnbook of ancient Israel.

    ENSAYO Bicycling as a Response to La Violencia: The First Vuelta a Colombia, January 5-17, 1951 Jane M.

Cover design by Jeff Belizaire ABOUT THIS BOOK Why does earlier Greek painting (Archaic/Classical) seem so clear and—deceptively— simple while the latest painting (Hellenistic/Graeco-Roman) is so much more complex but also familiar to us? Is there a single, coherent explanation that will cover this remarkable range? What can we recover from ancient documents and practices that can objectively be called “Greek color theory”? Present day historians of ancient art consistently conceive of color in terms of triads: red, yellow, blue or, less often, red, green, blue. This habitude derives ultimately from the color wheel invented by J.W. Goethe some two centuries ago. So familiar and useful is his system that it is only natural to judge the color orientation of the Greeks on its basis. To do so, however, assumes, consciously or not, that the color understanding of our age is the definitive paradigm for that subject.
