Oro- Medonte Council supported our efforts by providing the Arena in Guthrie free of charge which enabled our club to once again try an event similar to the Oro Fest that we once ran. While this experiment was not as successful as we had hoped, we would not have been able to "test the waters" without the support of Oro-Medonte Council, and the Oro District Lions Club wishes to formally extend our appreciation. We also wish to commend the Township staff for the outstanding assistance. The work of Matthew Henderson, who we understand worked in a temporary capacity, to go above and beyond is commendable. As you are aware, all of the monies raised by the Oro District Lions Club goes back into the community. The support of Oro-Medonte Council and the outstanding co-operation of staff serve as encouragement for our volunteer efforts. Please extend our appreciation to all those involved.

Turtles are now being killed on roads as they have to move farther from wetlands to find suitable nesting habitat due to development. We started small but the group has now grown to 6 chapters with over 35 youth members and 16 parents and mentors. We are raising awareness for turtles and their declining populations by asking municipalities to erect turtle crossing signs, that we have purchased, in problem areas throughont the County of Simcoe. There are two locations in Oro-Medonte township that have high turtle road motility every season. I could have written a request to Mayor and Council to ask them to erect our signs at these locations but would like to make a deputation to council. This way will be a positive learning experience for the children as to how the political process works in order for them to accomplish their goals. Please consider our request for a deputation to council and advise us on the date and time that it will occur. Thank You.

Turtles are reptiles. Should I Do if I See A Turtle Crossing The Rood? If you think that turtle is in immediate you decide to help, make a safe stop well off the traveled portion of road and get an adult to help if possible. Help the across road the it was If it appears to be heading towards a more dangerous area, take it to a nearby suitable environment. Do not take a that is obviously heading from a water back to this wetland since it will only retrace its steps to get to a nesting area. What is (I reptile? Reptiles are animals with a backbone (called vertebrates), along with birds, mammals, amphibians, and fish. reptiles have hardened growth scales attached to the outer layer of skin. How Should I Carry A Turtle? Smaller turtles can be moved using tvV'o hands on either side of the carapace and plastron, but be aware that have claws and could scratch You could also use a Tupperware container, bucket, or box with no water, but mist the turtle including the eyes if they are out of the water for more 20 minutes. Larger turtles like Snapping Turtles should not be carried by the tail since this can injure their back. Lift it at the back of the shell near the base of the tail. You can lift it on a shovel, piece of cardboard or car mat and drag it the edge of the keeping hands and fingers away from its beak. You can also position the turtle on a blanket then lift the blanket by the comers and carry the turtle out of danger. What are some reptllell found our area? Turtles, lizards, and snakes are reptiles found in our area. Crocodilians are also reptiles found south of our region. What ill an Amphibian? Many people believe that it describes an onimai living both on land and water. Since many amphibians live in only one, a better definition is an animal that has two very different lives: a larval stage an adult stage, with a remarkable transformation between the two stages. Can Get Dilleasell From Touching Turtles and other reptiles can carry salmonella bacteria, but people more commonly contacted salmonella from undercooked food, especially eggs and poultry, and not from turtles. Get your hands wet and dirty before turtles, and not touch them if you have insect repellent or other chemicals on your hands. If you do not put reptiles your mouth, and wash hands with soap and water you handle tur1les, you wiil not contract any diseases. What are llome amphibians found thill area? Frogs, toads, salamanders and newts are all found our area. How Con I Best Help Turtles? You can help turtles from suffering any more losses by driving slower near wetlands where turtles may crossing the road. can help raise awareness to plight of the turtles and ask others for help. Support Kids For Turtles in their quest to raise public awareness, and help them turtle crossing signs. Ask locai politicians to support For Turtles by asking their road crews to install the turtle crossing signs problem areas. help we can help these amazing animals are already on the road extinction. For more information on Kids For Turtles contact Bob Bowles 49 or rbowles@rogers.com. Are Turtles Cold-blooded? Turtles and other reptiles, along with amphibians and fish, are ectothermic animals, sometimes called co!d~blooded. Unlike endothermic animals like mammals and birds which regulate their body temperatures ectothermic animals maintain their body temperatures by relying on external sources of heat. This allows them to eat more irregularly, long periods without food. How Many Kindll Of Turtles Are Today? There are 12 different families of the world, consisting Seven families of turtles are found in United States. The largest family of world is the Emydidae or Pond Turtles. turtles are found the Ontario.

Mayor early turtles are water for locations on sandy banks along the road and many are killed by passing cars. Young turtles that have the eggs need cross busy in reach their wetland habitat. Six of the eight species of turtles found in Ontario are now species at risk, another species soon to be added. which enables them to dive for cover. Snapping Turtles can smell dead animals the water which they find and eat and in doing so help keep the environment clean. Can Hear? Turtles have a sense at sight, smell and touch, but since they don't have an ear or (ear drum) they can not hear like we do. However, they have an auditory nerve and brain center required for hearing, like other animals. Since the outer ear gathers sound vibrations to make them louder turtles do not hear airborne sounds, but they can detect low frequency sounds about as well as humans and pick up vibrations both on land and water. Can A Turtle Crawl Out Of Its Shell? Turtles have a hard shell made 61 covered by plates called scutes. Scutes are made of keratin, much like our fingernails. The turtle's shell is part its skeleton, so as the turtle out of since it is permanently attached to the spine and rib cage. The top of a turtle's shell Is called the carapace, the bottom is the plastron, these two are connected on each side by the bridge. Turtles can be individually marked without harm by putting small notches on the 22~ 24 marginal scutes a pattern. The sheil is quite and easily crushed by heavy objects such as the tire of a vehicle. How Big Are Turtles? The largest tortoise in the world is the Galapagos giant tortoise can weigh to 270 kg. and live for more than 100 years (record 152 years). The leatherback turtle, the largest turtle species, can grow as large as 183 cm.{carapace length) and weigh 680 kilograms. The Alligator Snapping Turtle, weighing 99.3 kg. (219 Ibs) and carapace length of 79 cm.{31 inches), is the largest freshwater North America. The largest turtle in our area is the Common Snapping Turtle (Canadian record 22.S kg.), which can have a carapace length of 470 mm. (18.5 inches), The captive record is 32 kg. & 49.4 cm, The Speckled Cape Padloper is a tortoise just under em. (3 inches) and the Bog Turtle, just under 10 cm. (4 inches), is the smallest turtle. The smallest turtle in our area and Canada is the Spotted Turtle, with a carapace length of 1 mm. (5 inches). How Can I Male from female Turtlell? This is difficult to tell in most turtles until they are older. The males of all turtles will have a longer, thicker with the cloaca located closer to the tip of the tail, whereas females will have a smaller, thinner tail with the vent closer to the main part of the body. Males most have exceptionally long foreclaws compared to females which have smaller ones. Males of many species wiil have a concave or curved-in plastron to allow the male to better mount the female when mating. Female plastrons have a convex surface. Females which have laid an egg clutch will have a semi~pliable anal the plastron, Females of most species are much larger than males sometimes as much as four times larger. What Species Of Turtles Can I Find In Thill Arec? You can expect to find 7 species of turtles of 3 different families in our area. The most common of these would be the Common Snapping Turtle and the Midland Painted Turtles. Other turtles from common to rare would be Common Musk (Stinkpot), Northern Map Turtle, Blanding's Turtle, Spotted Turtle, and Wood Turtle. You may also find some introduced turtles that were pets have been let go in like Red- eared Sliders. Cen Turtles See Well? Turtles can see very well and have good colour vision, especially at the red end of the light spectrum. can detect differences pattern and shape allowing them recognize their own species and avoid enemies. Turtles have binocular vision them see is of Can Turtlell Smell? Turtles have a good sense smeli and use it find identify food, mates, and territory. Turtles smell things on land much they same way that we do, but under they have littie or on chins that contain olfactory nerve endings to help smell food the dark or muddy waters. Young Painted are with the knowledge the of a Snapping means danger Why Did Crolllf The Road? The simple answer is to get to the other side. Turtles live bodies of like marshes, swamps, and ponds, but turtles of all ages will wander away from these habitats. In May young turtles may move a wetland where they to another wetland with more food. In late May and early June adult female turtles will move overland to find a warm, sunny, sandy place with southern expasure and little humidity to bury their eggs at the edges of roads, lakes, railways, or ponds. These areas are exposed with little or no cover. The females may have to travel long distances from the water bodies where they live to find a suitable location. females have used these locations for generations but recently more of these have been lost to development, forcing the turtles travel even farther, 2 3 ~ blob ~. y~ ~~~d -;;{, ~ I!J!8 KIDS FOR TURTLES NEWSLETTER # 1 by Bob Bowles September 2, 2006 This is the first newsletter for our Lake Country Kids For Turtles group. We are now three months old but have accomplished so much in a short period of time. We have now expanded into Muskoka and across southern Ontario and are well known to Ontario turtle experts who have referred some potential youth members to us who live well outside Lake Country and as far away as Peterborough, Ontario. We now have 36 youth members and 16 parent supervisors in seven different chapters for Kids For Turtles. We took part in the Canada Day celebrations at Couchiching Park in Orillia on July 1, 2006 where we had the Kids For Turtles display board, live turtles, and a table where children could make turtle crafts. We did this in partnership with Sciensational Sssnakes and Couchiching Conservancy and had over 5,000 visitors. Upcoming events for Kids For Turtles will be the Orillia Fall Fair at ODAS Park on Sunday, September 10th starting at 10:30 a.m. again in partnership with Sciensational Sssnakes and Couchiching Conservancy and then the Ramona Fall Fair, on our own, on Saturday, September 16, 2006. These events are to raise awareness for turtles, sign up new members, and record locations where turtles havc been seen crossing the road or dead on the road and potential locations for turtle crossing signs. We have ordered 12 turtle crossing signs complete with mounting hardware with assistance from Turtle S.H.E.L.L. in Ottawa and hope to have these up in our area by this fall ready for next spring when turtles are laying eggs and crossing roads. We have selected six locations with two signs (one for each traffic direction) in each location. The locations are as follows: 11 Simcoe County Road 22 (Horseshoe Valley Road) in Oro-Medonte Township at Coluson Swamp between Line 6 (Sugar Bush Estates) and Line 7 (Coulson). 2/ Simcoe County Road 28 (George Johnston Road) by the Willow Creek crossing between Minesing and Snow Valley Road. 3/ Six Mile Lake cottage road in Muskoka (these signs have already been erected by the Six Mile Lake Chapter) 4/ Woodland Drive in Oro- Medonte township on the southern edge of the City Of Orillia at the Brough's (Bluff's) Creek crossing between the farm house below Memorial Drive (old Allen Farm now Orsi's) and south side of the John MacDonald property 5/ Near Washago on Fairgrounds Road close to Ramona at Limestone Hill in Ramara township 6/ Quarry Road near the Thiffault Cell in Matchedash Bay in Severn Township. We now have deputations to councils for Oro-Medonte on Wednesday, September 6th and Ramara on Monday, September 18th and are working to confirm one with Severn Township in September for the Quarry Road Site. We hope to provide the signs and mounting hardware to council and ask for their permission and assistance of their road crews to erect these signs in the proper locations. We feel it is better to have the township crews mount the signs on the proper posts in the right locations without interference to traffic sight lines and road maintenance by plows and graders. This will give us 12 turtle crossing signs in place by next May and June when turtles are again on the move searching for wetlands and egg laying locations. Each member should now have a yellow Kids For Turtles t-shirt and a black Kids For Turtles hat which is our team uniform. TURTLES OF ONTARIO IDENTIFIER Turtles are illustrated at half life size.

Unfortunately, due to their small size a large number of these turtles have ended up being killed on roadways. The children have developed a plan to help raise drivers' attention to the probability of the turtles crossing the road and ask them to proceed with caution. Kids For Turtles in conjunction with naturalist Bob Bowles who has volunteered to- act as our mentor and advisor and the Twin Lakes Conservation Club are seeking help in our own endeavors to stop local turtles from being killed on local roadways. There are eight species of turtles in Ontario, six of which are currently at risk. The snapping turtle is soon to be drafted onto the species at risk list. Kids For Turtles have identified several areas where turtle crossing signs need to be posted. We have also started a public awareness campaign in order to enhance awareness and make interested parties aware of the current situation. Our aim is to have turtle crossing signs erected at several local locations in time for the snapping turtle egg laying near the end of May or early June. You can help us in our efforts by joining Kids For Turtles, identity turtle crossing problem locations, help us purchase turtle crossing signs, and most of all ask your councilors to help us install our signs. Please contact Kids For Turtles if you wish to donate time, money, information or help us with our cause.

There are eight species of turtles found in Ontario, six of which are on the road to extinction, with another species to be added to the species at risk in the near future. We would like to be able to study these species with our children and grandchildren, but this will not be possible unless there is a change in the trend of their depletion from habitat loss, infilling of wetlands, illegal pet trade, and increased road mortality. Kids For Turtles needs your support by joining our group, help us raise public awareness to the problem, support us in purchasing turtle crossing signs, identify locations with high road mortality, and most of all, ask your councilor to help us install our signs in these areas. With your help we can lessen the carnage that occurs every year on our roads. By working as a team we can increase awareness to the problem and put turtles on the road to recovery. Kids For Turtles would like to thank Bob Bowles, our mentor and scientific advisor who puts us in touch with the proper experts and funding sources.

B12 ORILLIA PACKET & 0 Kids ioin together to help turtles Continued from B3 I suggested she and her 12 friends and two mothers that met me at the location the next day should form a group called Kids For Turtles. I plan to work with them to get yellow T, shirts with Kids for Turtles and get some turtle crossing signs made up. These kids will be asking for your help and the help of municipal councillors in the next few months to bring this problem to light. Please give Kids For Turtles all the help you can and supporf their cause, They realize if they do nothing about this problem, fhey may not be able to show their children turtles. Several other areas have done this, but this would be a first for I.:ake Country. Ask your local politi. Clans to support these kids in this very worthwhile and much.needed project as they help these "old ladies" (turtles can live for more than 60 years) cross the road.

EDT on 'May 27. This is a good time to look for some of the fragments from Comet Schwassmann. Wachmann 3 that we noticed crumbling in the late night skies earlier this month. SAVING TURTLES When I was/a boy, if you wanted to know about the outdoors, you would join the SCOll(ts. Their motto was always be prepared for any situation and show your kindness by helping people in the community, like helping an older lady across the road, Things have changed greatly since those days, with more people, more cars, more roads, faster speeds and busier schedules. However, there still is an "old lady" that needs your help to cross the road more than ever before. ' There are eight species of turtles found in Ontario, seven of which have been recorded in Simcoe County. All but two are now species at risk and on the road to extinction, with an- other species soon to be added. I believe, be- fore your children's children become adults, all species of turtles will be threatened with extinction, Your grandchildren may have to ask what a turtle is. Lakeshore development, filling in of wet- lands and collecting for the pet trade has added to the demise of the turtle, but the biggest pressure is loss of nesting sites, there- fore the need to cross busy highways, Road mortality takes a big percentage of the remaining turtles every year from May to September.

I found the turtle i the exact spot I had noticed her in the cent of the lane, but she had been run over by a C3 The carapace and bridge was damaged b yond repair, body parts and egg yolks coven the highway, but she was still alive and mo ing her head.

SNAPPING TURTLES During the next two weeks, expect to ob- serve many large female snapping turtles along the sides of roads in our area looking to lay eggs, This is our largest turtle, with the record being 47 centimetres (18~ inches), measured in a straight line from the anterior to posterior margins of the back shcll, or carapace. Snapping turtles are killed by many people, either for food or they believe tur- tles are responsible for eliminating ducks and fish, to even attacking swimmers, These myths, along with nest predatation, habitaf destruction and road mortality, have led to the snap- ping turtle being added to many species-at'risk lists in Canada and the United States, They eat a wide variety of food includ- ing plants, fish, frogs, birds and mammals, They occasionally do take ducklings they grab from below as the birds swim on the surface, but consume few game fish, However, they will quickly clean a stringer.of fish that has been left in the water. They are not aggressive toward people in the water, but are on land when approached, They are defensive due to the reduced size of their plastron and carapace making them sus' ceptible to predators. , These turtles are seen crosstug roads in rainy seasons in May and the first week of June when femalesleave the water to lay eggs in sand or gravel banks along railroad tracks, roads and highways, dikes, beaches or shore, lines of ponds and lakes. Skunks, foxes, raccoons and minks are known to dig up these eggs for food, most times within 24 hours of nest construction. By Septembel; the eggs hatch and the young snapping turtles make their way to the near- est wetland, sometimes crossing busy road, ways. Young snapping turtles are susceptible to predators as they make their way to the wa- ter, sometimes travelling long distaIlces, At some locations, their path to the nearest water involves crossing busy roads. Few hatchlings survive. Snapping turtles usually only leave the wa. ter when moving to another pond or when a female is searching for a nest site. These are the only times when their paths cross those of cars, resulting in road mortality of these and other species of turtles, A group of local children, calling itself Kids For Turtles, would like you to be aware of turtles crossing roads at these times and ask you to drive with cau, !ion. They plan to install turtle, crossing signs at these locations. , To find out more about Kids For Turtles, contact Mau- reen Tanzola at 689-2697, REPORTS The fir~t adult mos- quitoes this year ap- peared on May 15 and are l).OW building in numbers in late Mayas blackfiies have all but disappeared, First blooms from May 17-23 in- clude yellow rocket, wild strawberry, magnolia, mock orange, mountain ash, viburnums, spiraeas, service berries, chokecherry, cypress spurge, yellow clintonia, foamflower, wild sarsaparilla, Canada mayflower, Canada violet, wild columbine, pale corydalis, leatherleaf, plus many more plants.

Canada geese eggs have all hatched now, and young goslings are mixing into larger flocks. Geese that have been feeding in open fields and along:wetlands are now moving into parks and recreational fields. ~"'1'. -- - -. --" . rl . la SUNSHINE CITY'S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER ... FRIDAY JUNt 16 2006". 32PAGES I. I . Life savers: Sydney Tanzola and other y6ulh have formed a group dedicated to saving local turties from untimely deaths on area roads. The group is requesting that municipal councils erect turtle-crossing signs in areas fre>quented by their four-legged friends. c 'mck M"~, phOlc ,{ Youths fight for turtles By Prank Matys On a rural road near her Wash ago-area home, 12-year-old Sydney Tanzola has saved many a life. Turtles, some no bigger than a quarter, cross that road at a pace that conld generonsly be called slow a~ molasses. So Tanzola cronches down, scoops them. np and trm;sports them safely to the other side. "They're so cute;" she said. ."1 don't want to see them get hit." But many are, crushed by cars driven by peo- ple who either don't see them or, if they do, can't be bothered to wait. Six of Ontario's eight turtle species are at-risk of extinction due to the loss of habitat, iufilling of wetlauds, illegal pet trade, and, as Tanzola has pointed out, road mortality. Her conceru for the crawling creatures ted her to Bob Bowles, an Orillia naturalist with an extensive knowledge of all things reptilian, They put their heads together, and with the snpport of the Twin Lakes Conservation Club and others, fonned a youth group dedicated to ending the carnage on area roads, See 'Turtles' on page 25 Grillia Today, Weekend Edition June 16, 2006-25 News Today news.orifliatoday.com Turtles losing l1atural habitat 'My daughter is out there every day, rescuing them' From page 1 Lake Country Kids for Turtles nmv includes mem- bers from Coldwater; Oro- Medonte Tovmship and other communities across the region. "My daughter is out there every day rescuing them," added Washago resident Wendy Vollick. "I don't know why peo- ple hit them. Sometimes you can actually' see where peo- ple have gone off the road just to hit them." Led by Bowles, the local group has hatched a plan to protect the shelled creatures from the dangers of traffic. In addition to mounting a public education campaign aimed at raising awareness of their plight, members will be approaching local coi.m- cils with a request for the installation of turtle-cross- ing signs on roads located in areas frequented by the famously sluggish reptiles. The development of shoreline habitat and other nest-laying locations has driven turtles away from wetlands in search of warm, sandy areas suitable for the burying their eggs, often crossing busy roads in the process. Once hatched, the off- spring will 'inevitably cross those same roads as the make their \vay to the near- est wetland. "They are losing their habitat, and they are not reproducing well," said Bowles. Local species include the common snapping turtle, the Midland Painted turtle, the musk turtle, and 'Blanding's turtle. The group is also plan- ning to develop a database of locations where' turtles are commonly killed.

Kids are helping'save turtles By Amy Lazar The Packet & Times Warm and protected in- side her mother's shell, Pe- tra was being jostled along- side her 11 brothers and sis- ters on the way to a nesting place where they would be laid. Suddenly, a loud thud and a cracking noise brought their journey to a halt. Their mother had been in- jured and was stranded on the side of a busy county road, and Petra worried they might not survive. Thinking the same thing, Jenny Pearce pulled her car over and rushed over to ex- amine the pregnant turtle. "Her front shell was cracked and her head had been run over," she said. "It was important for me to save the eggs." Pearce didn't see who had hit the turtle, but, since it was spring and time for them to find a sandy spot to lay eggs, the accident wasn't a surprise. "It happens all the time." she said. In fact, being hit by cars is one of the reasons six of the eight turtle species found in Ontario are at risk of bee om- ing extinct. The most common turtles found around Orillia are the common snapping turtle and the Midland painted tur- tle. Petra is a seven-year-old Blanding's turtle, who now lives with Pearce and is a treasured member of the Sci- ensational Snakes collec- tion. Pearce saved the turtle eggs and, though the adult turtle did not survive, her offspring are thriving_ Still, Petra's story is all too rare. With turtle populations disappearing, a youth group has formed to educate peo- ple about how they can help. "The more people know about what these turtles are trying to do while crossing the road, the more they'll keep from hitting them," said Sydney Tanzola, a mem- ber of Kids For Turtles. "They're important to the environment and maybe Packet photo/Julie Langpeter Mackenzie Turner holds Petra, a Blanding's turtle, at a Kids for Turtles press conference Wednesday. Petra's life was nearly over before it began. The turtle's mother was found dead on the road by Jenny Pearce, who extracted the eggs, giving life to the babies within. someday they will be endan- gered, but we want to keep the species around," Vicky Vollick, another member, chimed in. The fledgling group has 24 young members and is sup- ported by the Twin Lakes Conservation Club. In communities like Oril, lia, Washago and Coldwater, they hand out information flyers about watching for turtles. The group hopes to build a database ofroads tur- tles are being killed on be- tween May and September.

At the recent Big Cedar Estate AGM that Mayor Craig, Deputy Mayor Hughes and I attended, a request was made for us to paint a yellow centre line on Bass Lake Sideroad from Hwy ]2 to Big Cedar entrance. I advised them that most of this road was maintained by the City of Orillia but we would submit a request to the City to consider Ihis request when they are doing any line painting in the area. I don't know if they would do our stretch while they were at it and bill us but if they would it would it would be quicker and cheaper than us having out stretch done.

Good Morning Mr. Mayor and Council Members This email is to respectfully request that Council go through the Administration department to ascertain information with respect to complaints, issues or concerns. This procedure ensures that the CAO is current of service delivery and is less disruptive to staff. Inquiries such as verifying with a department the status of a project can be requested directly through the appropriate department head or if a council member requires clarification of a report. The building unionized staff advised me that they lost one hour of prime time yesterday morning. They were not complaining just stating a fact. Ms. Moore had just got off the phone with the Mayor in regards to a service delivery complaint when two other members of Council came around the corner and she went trough the entire explanation a second time, then a councillor returned for subsequent clarification, Ms. Moore and Ms. Marion explained the situation a fourth time to me. By going through the proper procedure it accomplishes two things; keeps the CAO in the loop in regards to service delivery concerns and provides the CAO with the opportunity to manage in terms of disrupting staff, The set up of the department also is not conducive to discussions that possibly should be held in private and normally will end up in involving all the surrounding staff. As well at this time the building department is under new leadership (Mike Diver) and they are undergoing some growing pains therefore it is more important that the CAO remains cognizant of the level of service in order to help out and maintain an acceptable level of service. For this department in particular mornings are very crucial to ensuring customer service. I spent 5 hours Wednesday evening with all available building personnel at their request just to listen to their concerns .' , was the catalyst. Also bringing complaints directly to technical staff is not good for morale, they automatically believe that their performance is less than acceptable. Again I respectfully request that concerns in terms of service delivery for all departments be directed to the CAO in my absence Paul Gravelle the Acting CAO and failing that my assistant.

J!J)WvC4.iatn Meeting - September 6th, 2006 h::A';'~ a4f'kl i~L Moved by: CQuncillor Ruth FountQin Seconded by: "That the Oro-Medonte Council supports in principle the Moon Point Homeowners' Association's request to the Ministry of Natural Resources for a wetland assessment of the Moon Point property." BACKGROUND Inasmuch as: The Moon Point HomeownGrg1 Aggociation {MPHA} ~$ appealing Decision/Order No: 2263 from the ontario Municipal Board (OMS) regarding the Moon Point property (formerly Columbus BOYS' Camp) on the grounds that a wetland Assessment shculd have been performed because portions of the property most likely qualify for complexing with the Elu!tts Creek Provincially significant Wetland (PSW) , and The OMB has gene the Moon Point Plan of Sub-division back to the Township Council for review and modifi~ation to ensure protection of significant natural f~~tures, particularly the wet pockets on the site, and. According to section A2.1.1 of the Township's Official Plan, development must occur in accordance with the following principles: t . The protection of :significant environmental features and their associated ecological function~ ~hall take precedence over the development of such lands. . A thorough understanding of the natural environment, including the values, opportunities. limits and constraints that it provides I shall guide land use decision making in the Township, It was the testimony of two qualified experts before the OMS that it was necessary to conduct such ~ wetland evaluation before approving development on or near the wet pockets and vernal pools of the Moon Point property. one of theee experts is a retired career biologist with the Ministry of Natural Resources, the other is a local authority on local wildlife and plant communities, and bath are MNR qualified wetland evaluato.~, and Prior to and during the OMB hearing, the MHPh requestea .ccess CO tb~ ~ubject prop~rty in order to perform this assessment but were refuzed, ~3 The MPHA asked for an adjournment of the proceeding to allow for this review, however I the OMS denied this requestl and Page 1 of 3 1 No wetland evaluation was undertaken by the developer's ecological coneultant or the Lake Simcoe Reg10n Con~ervation Authority before approving the Environmental Impact statement of the developer, and The MNR has agreed to r~con8ider che PSW boundaries should eufficient evidenee tor doinS BO be provided (May 24. 2006 e-mail from George Ross, Assistant Deputy Minister, Field Services Oiv~sion to Dr. aick Smith, David Oor~elly et al), and A Wetland Assessment of the abutting Macdonald/Moore property was completed in August 2006 by two qualified field naturalists. This studYJ performed in an exa~eing soientific manner ~s laid out by the ontario Wetland EValuation system manual, provides concrete evidence that the Bluff's Creek PSW is in fact more extensive than eurrently recorded by the MNR and Lake Simcoe Region conservation Authority. EVid@nce or breeding blue~spotted and/or Jefferson eomplex salamanders ha~ aleo been observed 00 this same property. An ecological servicee firm retained by the MPHA subsequent to the OMS hearing na~ revealed serious inadequacie6 with the delineation of the Sluff's Creek PSWI and furthermore concludes chat. "It is the opinion of the Glenside Ecological Services Limited that the boundary of Blufrs Creek provincially Significant Wetland is inaccurate, with boundary discrepancies l!I'eater than SO metres. Further it is possible that additional adjacent wetland polygons may warrant inclusion in the Bluffs Creek Provincially Significant Wetlands Complex. Therefore Glenside Ecological Services Limittxl recommends re-delineating the boundaries of the existing complex as well as examining the adjacent lanes to determine whether additional wetland polygons should be Included in the Bluffs Creek Provincially Significant Wetland Complex. " The purpo~~ of this report is eo prOVide Council with background information on which ~o support the above motion. On August 11, 2006 the OMS ruled in favour of the Moon point Development. In its eonclusion the OMS details 4 oondition~ (amendments) with respect to the development. Under Conclusions on page 9, item (b) of the Order Board Member Stefanko ~tipulate5 that; "By-law 2005~a2 is approved on the basis that the T-ownehip prepare an amendment to such By-law to .include the following: i) Extend the 20 metre shoreline setback as is required to protect all of ~he wet pocKets near the shoreline subject to the 11 metre access/view corridor applicable t.o the setback area ii) minimum road frontage ehall be ia.S metres iii} the groes floor area of any home shall not exceed 6000 equare f....t Page 2 of 3 1 In order to ensure that the Township complies with the order a revised site plan agreement is r.eeesesry. Further, in order to comply with the Townehip'e Environment First policy, it would be in the best interes:s of the Township when ensuring that it comply with the order that the Township has an expert opinion as to the exact location, size and extent of th& W&t pcck~t~ and vernal pools near the shoreline as detailed in point ii) Furthermore it will also be necessary for the To~~ahip to receive an updated Plan of gubdivi~iDn to again eneure compliance with subsections (b) i1 which require~ alteration of road frontage on several lots in the existing Plan of Subdivision. Moon Point Homeowners Association believe that the Order from the OMB requires due diligence hy the Township. To ensure that suoh oonditions are fulfilled a rull <<nd proper wetland assessment of the Moon Point property i~ required. Consider ins the seriousness and long term impact of this development and our llSnvironment First;Jt mandate of the Official Plant Oro-Meaont.e needs to ensure that due diligence and compliance with the Environment First policy is obaerved and performed. As mentioned ~bovel tIle MPHA has made the decision to appeal the OMB ruling based on the need for a w~tland asse~sment, They have until Friday, September S, 2006 to submit the appeal.

I drove past the Ora Memorial park on many cars/bus/people were in the park. a number of concerns. Sunday August 6th and was amazed how The volume of people made me think of There was no possible way for an emergency vehicle to get anywhere close due to the complete overcrowding of vehicles. This included outside the fence on the grass area as well as the side of the road. Is the septic capable of handling hundreds of people? A number of years ago there was a charge for non Ora residents. Now we don't charge. Although I am sure the folks appreciate the access to the wonderful park the tax-paying residents are really paying for many, many folks that don't live in our Township. I believe the park should be run on a cost/revenue neutral basis. I am aware the park was gifted to the residents of the Township. This does not mean that no one should pay, or that the township must absorb the ongoing operational costs associated with the demands of today. My husband & I have enjoyed living near the park for 13+ years now. There has only been "happy" noise coming from two doors over. An additional concern would be the township liability should there be an accident at the park and emergency personnel being prevented in attending, in a timely manner, due to overcrowding. I don't think the fact that we don't charge would eliminate the Township liability in ensuring due diligence over a public park. Please 1. advise: What sort of hazard analysis has been done in regards to the operation of this public park? What is the capacity of the septic system? Has the capacity been exceeded? Was the spill significant enough to report to the Ministry of the Environment? What measure were put in place to ensure no reoccurrence? What is the Township budget for the operation of this park? I am aware there are several parks in the township - however when a budget is developed each facility is taken into consideration regarding size, ground and facilities maintenance. Please advise both the capital and annual operational spending on this park. Why are the tax-payers of Oro-Medonte assuming all costs and liabilities when there are many methods available to operate on a cost-revenue neutral basis? 2. 3. 4. 5. Thanks for your time.
