By Barb McKay

While several coun-cil members have been vocal about the need to promote economic development in the mu-nicipality of Kincar-dine, it seems that not everyone is on the same page when it comes to servicing vacant land.On Dec. 17, council held its first meeting to discuss the 2019 mu-nicipal budget. Trea-surer Roxana Baumann introduced this year’s operating budget, which includes an increase in expenses of $796,000 or 3.66 per cent over ex-

penses incurred in 2018. Half of that ($359,000) is attributed to an in-crease in staff wages and benefits. Other no-table expenditure in-creases include an ad-ditional $71,000 in po-licing costs, an extra $34,000 in propane costs (estimated), strategic plans totalling $75,000, $34,000 for training and conferences for the new council, an increase of $90,000 for fleet mainte-nance (including $50,000 for a fleet replacement reserve fund), an antici-pated $45,000 increase for airport management and a $20,000 grant for

the Tiverton Reunion.For the last few years, the municipality has been setting aside mon-ey in a lifecycle reserve fund for the future re-placement of municipal assets including roads, bridges and facilities. This year, the treasury department is recom-mending that $2.88 mil-lion be added to the re-serve, an increase of $420,000 over last year’s contribution.

In her report, Bau-mann indicated that an overall tax rate increase of 3.2 per cent would be needed to maintain current service levels in

the municipality. Based on the average assessed residential property value of $270,000, the av-erage household could expect an increase of $56 on their 2019 tax bill. That figure is based on no change to the edu-cation or county tax levies. The County of Bruce budget is not ex-pected to be finalized until March.Baumann also pro-vided council with an overview of the draft capital budget, which includes 49 high pri-ority projects totalling $12.7 million. Of that, $6.7 million would be

covered by dipping into reserve funds, $3.8 mil-lion would be funded through external debt and repaid through fu-ture development charg-es, $1.28 million would come from contribu-tions such as the OPG hosting payment and Armow Wind annual payment and another $933,000 would be fund-ed through government grants.There are nine capi-tal projects and ex-penses that have been singled out as top pri-orities for this year by municipal staff and by the previous council.

Council debates borrowing funds to service 9/21 business parkThe most costly of these is continued work to extend municipal ser-vices to the business park at Highways 9 and 21, totalling $4.2 million this year. Also in the budget are upgrades to the Kincardine, Tiver-ton and Bruce Energy Centre water towers, which total $1.3 million. Rural paving projects would cost $1.275 mil-lion. The second phase of cell expansion at the Kincardine Waste Man-agement Centre would cost $965,000.S t o r m w a t e r i m -

NOW PLAYINGMIDNIGHT HOURThe Magic of MotownJULY 30 - AUG 11-877-396-5722

By Pauline KerrThe official launch of the Nuclear

Innovation Institute began on a high

note, with a welcoming speech by

Mike Rencheck, president and CEO

of Bruce Power, to the 120 people in

attendance. “Today is the beginning of some-

thing we started some time ago,” said

Rencheck. He spoke about the need to

work with universities, colleges and

the community to ensure young peo-

ple have opportunities in technology.

He stressed that the NII isn’t about

meeting today’s needs – it’s focusing

on the needs of the nuclear industry

through to 2064.Huron-Bruce MP Ben Lobb re-

marked on the “tremendous opportu-

nity” that comes from having a “world

class facility in our backyard.”

MPP Lisa Thompson’s office was

represented at the event, and a scroll

was presented to the NII.Mitch Twolan, representing Bruce

County, spoke of “the opportunity to

work together and make some excit-

ing things happen.”The launch event included the

announcement that Kinectrics has

become the first supplier to officially

indicate its intent to join NII’s Found-

ing Members Club, and become a part

of Canada’s leading-edge nuclear ap-

plied research facility and centre of

excellence for talent development and

business innovation.A press release stated the launch

event provided ample opportunity to

celebrate a series of achievements

over the past year including secur-

ing a new location, partnering with

the Town of Saugeen Shores to lead

the Municipal Innovation Council,

launching the Trades and Skilled

Workforce Secretariat with Bruce

County, launching the Local Educa-

tion Fund – which is expected to begin

confirming funding commitments

by the end of the summer, and hir-

ing an executive director to lead in

operations.“After such a successful year in

getting things up and running, we

are ready to turn our attention to

securing members and demonstrate

the benefits we will bring to our

members, our stakeholders, and our

communities across Bruce, Grey, and

Huron counties and beyond,” said

Frank Saunders, president of NII.

Nuclear Innovation Institute’s official launch

Epcor Natural Gas Limited Part-

nership is constructing a natural gas

distribution system that will serve

the communities of Chesley, Paisley,

Inverhuron, Tiverton, Kincardine,

Lurgan Beach, Point Clark, Ripley,

Lucknow and the Bruce Energy Cen-

tre.The Ontario Energy Board ap-

proved Epcor’s Leave to Construct

application earlier this month.

The distribution system will con-

sist of two components: a larger

diameter mainline that will be the

backbone of the system and transport

gas to each of the communities, and

smaller diameter medium density

polyethylene (MDPE) distribution

piping that will be constructed within

each of the communities to directly

serve homes and businesses.This summer, construction will in-

clude 60 kilometres of eight-inch steel

pipeline from Dornoch to the Bruce

Energy Centre. Construction will be

along municipal road right-of-ways.

The company expects to employ 150

workers at peak summer construction

(around September). Work will be

completed in stages along the route.

Key steps include establishing tem-

porary workspaces along the route,

bringing material (including pipe)

and equipment on site to prepare for

construction, and tree and vegeta-

tion clearing as required along the

pipeline route within municipal road

right-of-ways.Epcor will also be establishing traf-

fic control measures along municipal

roads in the pipeline route.Actual installation of the pipeline

will require trenching and welding,

testing the pipeline prior to putting it

in service and site restoration.

Construction will occur between

spring and fall. Energization of the

first phase of the natural gas system

is anticipated to occur in December

of this year. Hours of work will be

Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5:30

p.m.; however, occasional evening or

Sunday work may be required.

Construction will occur along

road allowances and cross the

The founding board of directors

was introduced to the crowd: Mike

Rencheck (Bruce Power) as chair,

Mitch Twolan (Bruce County warden)

as vice-chair, James Scongack (Bruce

Power member), Frank Saunders

(NII member), Jim Phillips as Good

Governance member (sponsored by

Bruce Power), Jessica Linthorne

(Saugeen Shores ex-officio member)

and its newest member – David Harris

(Kinectrics).“We have achieved a milestone for

the Nuclear Innovation Institute with

the establishment of a strong Found-

ing Board and the announcement

of Kinectrics joining our Founding

Members Club, which will ensure

that NII carries out its mandate and

marks the beginning of its venture to

advance technology applications into

our industry, construction, and rural

Ontario,” said Rencheck. “We’re look-

ing forward to adding more Canadian

and international partners on the

board in the very near future, and em-

barking upon technical projects and

educational programs that we know

will have a ground-breaking impact

Monitoring

water quality in

KincardineBy Pauline Kerr

A lake is only as clean

as what goes into it.

Saugeen Conserva-

tion carefully monitors

what flows into Lake

Huron, taking samples

at several places in the

watershed eight months

of the year.

Brittany Taylor, wa-

ter resources techni-

cian, started at Saugeen

Conservation in 2014,

first as a summer stu-

dent and later as a full-

time staff member. Tay-

lor has a science degree

(BScH) from the Uni-

versity of Guelph. For

her, braving slippery

stream banks and giant

mosquitoes to collect

samples and monitor

water quality is the per-

fect job – the watershed

is beautiful, she said,

and she has a passion

for protecting it.

She was at Geddes

Park last week, one of

29 surface water sam-

pling sites. Such sam-

pling is done monthly,

both for the conserva-

tion authority and the

province.

The good news is

the water quality near

the North Penetangore

bridge is what Taylor

described as “normal,

what you’d expect this

time of year.”

It’s also one of the 10

sites where samples are

taken for benthic mon-

itoring (checking the

bugs that live at the bot-

tom of the stream). The

samples are preserved

for analysis in the win-

ter. Taylor explained

that biomonitoring

(“counting bugs”) tells

a lot about the health of

a stream.

When doing surface

water samples, Taylor

checks temperature,

conductivity, dissolved

oxygen and turbidity.

The sample is sent away

to a private lab where it’s

analysed for such things

as potassium, phospho-

rous, nitrates, metals

and E. coli, things found

in agricultural runoff.

“We like to keep an

eye on riparian veg-

etation,” Taylor said.

That’s the vegetation

and ecosystem along

the river bank. Because

it absorbs a lot of nu-

trients, it’s key to the

health of waterways.

“Naturalizing the shore-

line helps with nutrient

loading,” Taylor said.

The quality of sur-

face water is affected by

many things – climate

change, extreme weath-

er, nutrient loading and

rising temperatures,

said Taylor. Toxic blue-

green algae is the result

of nutrient loading.

There are a number

of ways to ensure the

samples Taylor takes

continue to show normal

readings. Taylor said

there are regulations

about application rates

for anyone spraying

fields. Excluding live-

stock from all streams

is also important. And

riparian planting along

the banks of streams

and rivers helps a lot.

“We’re very fortunate

to live in such a beauti-

ful watershed,” Taylor

said. “We shouldn’t take

it for granted.”

For further infor-

mation about keeping

waterways healthy, and

the sampling programs

done by Saugeen Con-

servation, contact Tay-

lor, Shaun Anthony or

Joanne Harbinson.

Huron-Bruce MPP

Lisa Thompson is en-

couraging residents to

choose Ontario meat

products this summer.

“Our beef, pork,

and poultry products

are among the best in

the world,” Thompson

said. “High-quality,

local meat is a great

choice throughout the

year, but especially

during the barbecue

season. Whether it’s a

juicy steak, home-made

hamburgers, thick pork

chops, delicious chick-

en, or whatever your

preference, you can’t go

wrong choosing Ontar-

io-grown and produced

meat for your grill.”

T hompson added

that buying Ontario

meats helps support lo-

cal farmers who work

hard every day to supply

Ontario markets. “They

certainly deserve our

support,” she said.

The MPP joins Ernie

Hardeman, minister of

agriculture, food and

rural affairs, in asking

consumers to give the

province’s meat produc-

ers a boost - especially

following China’s tem-

porary restrictions on

imports of Canada’s

beef and pork products.

“Given what is hap-

pening on the world

stage, I believe it is

more important than

ever to support our local

farmers and their prod-

ucts,” Thompson said.

Said Hardeman, “Our

government stands with

Ontario’s farmers and

the quality of our pork

and beef products. I

strongly encourage the

federal government to

continue to work with

Chinese authorities

on a resolution to this

issue. The quality of

Ontario and Canadi-

an meat products are,

and always have been,

ranked among the best

in the world, and trade

disputes do not change

this.”He noted, “I have

spoken with Minister

Bibeau (Marie-Claude

Bibeau, federal agri-

culture minister) and

have been assured that

investigating this issue

is a top priority for the

Canadian Food Inspec-

tion Agency, RCMP and

Canadian Border Ser-

vices.”Hardeman is urging

exploration of new mar-

kets as an important

way to help local farm-

ers, saying, “I would

also urge that, like the

resources and efforts to

support Canada’s cano-

la exporters, the federal

government work with

the meat, soy and other

affected sectors to deter-

mine how best to sup-

port their efforts to re-

main viable and secure

new export markets. My

Help your neighbours – buy local

meat products, urges MPP

By Barb McKayWhile several coun-

cil members have been

vocal about the need

to promote economic

development in the mu-

nicipality of Kincar-

dine, it seems that not

everyone is on the same

page when it comes to

servicing vacant land.

On Dec. 17, council

held its first meeting

to discuss the 2019 mu-

nicipal budget. Trea-

surer Roxana Baumann

introduced this year’s

operating budget, which

includes an increase in

expenses of $796,000 or

3.66 per cent over ex-

penses incurred in 2018.

Half of that ($359,000)

is attributed to an in-

crease in staff wages

and benefits. Other no-

table expenditure in-

creases include an ad-

ditional $71,000 in po-

licing costs, an extra

$34,000 in propane costs

(estimated), strategic

plans totalling $75,000,

$34,000 for training and

conferences for the new

council, an increase of

$90,000 for fleet mainte-

nance (including $50,000

for a fleet replacement

reserve fund), an antici-

pated $45,000 increase

for airport management

and a $20,000 grant for

the Tiverton Reunion.

For the last few years,

the municipality has

been setting aside mon-

ey in a lifecycle reserve

fund for the future re-

placement of municipal

assets including roads,

bridges and facilities.

This year, the treasury

department is recom-

mending that $2.88 mil-

lion be added to the re-

serve, an increase of

$420,000 over last year’s

contribution.In her report, Bau-

mann indicated that an

overall tax rate increase

of 3.2 per cent would

be needed to maintain

current service levels in

the municipality. Based

on the average assessed

residential property

value of $270,000, the av-

erage household could

expect an increase of

$56 on their 2019 tax bill.

That figure is based on

no change to the edu-

cation or county tax

levies. The County of

Bruce budget is not ex-

pected to be finalized

until March.Baumann also pro-

vided council with an

overview of the draft

capital budget, which

includes 49 high pri-

ority projects totalling

$12.7 million. Of that,

$6.7 million would be

covered by dipping into

reserve funds, $3.8 mil-

lion would be funded

through external debt

and repaid through fu-

ture development charg-

es, $1.28 million would

come from contribu-

tions such as the OPG

hosting payment and

Armow Wind annual

payment and another

$933,000 would be fund-

ed through government

grants.There are nine capi-

tal projects and ex-

penses that have been

singled out as top pri-

orities for this year by

municipal staff and by

the previous council.

Council debates borrowing funds to service 9/21 business parkThe most costly of these

is continued work to

extend municipal ser-

vices to the business

park at Highways 9 and

21, totalling $4.2 million

this year. Also in the

budget are upgrades to

the Kincardine, Tiver-

ton and Bruce Energy

Centre water towers,

which total $1.3 million.

Rural paving projects

would cost $1.275 mil-

lion. The second phase

of cell expansion at the

Kincardine Waste Man-

agement Centre would

cost $965,000.S t o r m w at e r i m -

For This Week

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20You can have all the inspiration in the world, Aries, but without solid financial backing, your enterprise will not find its wings. Spend your energy finding investors.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21You are torn between two choices, Taurus. Family mat-ters are on one side and work responsibilities are on the other. It may take a few days to work out a decision.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21It's difficult to contain all of your energy, Gemini, so instead you can choose to share some with others. Try tackling some other people's projects until your energy wanes.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Some people may view you as being selfish this week, Cancer, but you view your actions as putting yourself first for a change. Either way, it's a decid-edly "you-centered" few days.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23While some people are revved up with energy, Leo, you will seem to be stuck in neutral this week. Don't fret too much about it unless you have deadlines you need to meet.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, these next few days you will want to do activities that put yourself first. Whether it's a date or simply alone time, enjoy it and stop neglecting your needs.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Vacations tend to bring the relaxed side out in a person, and it can be hard assimilating back into your regular routine. You, however, have no problem getting back into a groove.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Turning a hobby into some-thing that makes money is an admirable goal, but it will take a little work, Scorpio. Don't give up too easily as it could take a few months to solidify.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you may be adept at finding an easy way around a difficult thing, but sometimes taking the harder road offers good life lessons along the way.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20When money issues arise, the only way to remedy them is to stop spending. This could involve taking a hard look at your lifestyle and what you may not be able to afford.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Everyone expects you to dole out the advice, Aquarius, but this week you will be looking for your own. It could be because you have been tackling so many projects lately.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20There are few things that escape your attention, Pisces. However, this week you will be blindsided by certain news.

Time sped on - 5 years have past; Since death its long shadow cast.Today we recall the happy memories; Of our loved one gone to rest.We miss him terribly and always will; His ready hand a need to fill.Down here we mourn but not in vain;For up in Heaven we will meet again.Life is not the same without you, Dad.
