School fun fair was just that - FUN!
By Judy Backus
EMC News - Marmora - For the past three years, the Marmora Senior School community, has worked to put together a Harvest Fall Fun Fair in support of the purchase of SmartBoards for the classrooms. This year the fun filled event was held on the evening of November 8. No sooner had the doors opened when lineups formed, with all keen to purchase tickets to participate in a number of activities which ranged from face painting, putting, and hockey challenges, to a pop can toss game and bingo. There were also opportunities to have family photos taken, or, for those with artistic skills, a chance to decorate a hat or a cupcake. One table in the gym was filled with a wide selec- Makenna Jennings, Victoria Bailey, Lydia Carson-Maynes and Cassandra Hewitt prepare to tion of silent auction items, all of which test their putting skills during Marmora Senior School’s November 8 Harvest Fall Fun Fair.

he would be kept apprised of the situation, and with regard to rates, indicated that those of Marmora and Lake were, “in the same range as all our neighbouring communities.” As he explained, “We have to bring in enough money from our [water and sewer] fees to cover the costs.” • The 25-page Marmora and Lake Destination Development Plan, prepared by Economic Development Intern Lucas Wales, was enthusiastically received by council members. It points to many opportunities relating to the potential growth in tourism, and will be used as a planning tool for future projects by the local Economic Development Committee. The report deals with such things as the need to develop a strong online presence, a re-examination of the Marmora and Lake Brand, the utilization of current assets for marketing purposes and, as well, looks at a number of specific changes and innovations. Among these are the promotion of geo-caching,

mother, Doris Franklin, owner of the house at 82 Madoc Street. He had attended council previously on the same matter, but explained that, as yet, no action had been taken. He told council members that at one time the house contained three apartments, but this was no longer the case as it was currently a single family dwelling housing six residents. The problem, explained by Vieau, was that in the case of water and sewer charges, the bill was based on three units rather than one. He stressed that it was no longer a three-unit place, but that the bill amounted to $500 every other month. Reeve Clemens responded that the report on hand indicated that it was a three-unit dwelling, but agreed that the matter required further investigation. Vieau offered to provide a letter signed by a lawyer indicating that it was in fact a single residence. Clemens said that staff would be asked to investigate the matter. Clemens told Vieaux that

the development of Movies in the Park during the summer months, and investment in a mining museum, “that is powered with solar technology and constructed from recycled materials to complement the Marmora and Lake Pumped Storage Project.” • Under the heading of new business, Councillor Linda Bracken reported on a recent trip to Toronto she had made with Cindy Cassidy, the general manager of the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance, with regard to the future use of side by side and two up all terrain vehicles on area roads. The two met with policy advisors and, through tele-conferencing, with the Assistant Deputy Minister of Transportation. Bracken indicated it had been a good meeting with more information to come. She commented that allowing the use of such vehicles would be advantageous to families and to those with disabilities, adding, “We are the only province in Canada that does not allow them.” • With the centennial of the town hall approaching, Councillor Elaine Jones suggested there should be a celebration of some sort to mark the occasion. The idea of an open house was mentioned, with all being asked to give the idea some thought, with future discussion to be held. It was also suggested by the reeve that local historian André Philpot be contacted for input. • During the public input portion of the meeting, Fred Quarrie thanked council for posting the council agenda on the web site ahead of the meeting.

EMC News - Marmora A press release, circulated at the November 6 council meeting, included a photo of Corporal Daren Lunn with a Marmora and Lake flag taken on a snowy October 26 in Nunavut. The accompanying information reads, “We are pleased to announce that the Marmora and Lake flag is flying high at the Canadian Forces Station Alert. CFS Alert is located on the northeastern tip of Ellesmere Island. It is located in the Qikiqtaaluk Region in Nunavut and it is the northernmost permanently inhabited place in the world. Very few communities are awarded the opportunity to have their flag flown this far north. The Municipality of Marmora and Lake would like to extend a sincere thanks to Corporal Daren Lunn for his help with this project!” Reeve Terry Clemens worked with Lunn’s father, Marmora resident Bryant Lunn, to orchestrate getting the flag to Alert. Over the course of a year, approximately 20 flags are raised at CFS Alert, and of those, only half are from towns and cities, so, as was pointed out by Deputy CAO, Typhany Choinard, “It is quite a privilege to have the opportunity.” • During his report, made at the outset of the meeting, Reeve Terry Clemens offered congratulations to Joanne Biggs, an employee in the environmental services department, who had recently completed the requirements to become a class one water and sewer treatment operator. • The only delegation was that of Paul Vieau, who appeared on behalf of his
