Presidents Message

Sometimes, it really is true that ignorance is bliss. Since I started serving as the LLPOA President, I have been investigating environmental issues that may be affecting our lake. Unfortunately, the more that I learn about threats to our water quality, the more concerned I get. While there are major challenges to our environment, Loon Lake continues to test well. We have every reason to be pleased, but cautious. I would ask that all members continue to be good lake partners and keep abreast of the research. This Newsletter will continue to provide information and advice. The Loon Lake Property Owners Associations runs through the goodness of the volunteers. For example, each year the Rock Bass fishing derby is organized entirely by Heather and Martinus Otten. The Ottens buy the supplies, including the prizes for the kids. They haul a barbeque to the Government dock, cook up the hot dogs and haul it back. They count a whole mess of fish and dispose of the dead bodies. What more could we ask? We need advance help with the Regatta on Saturday, July 30. We need whistle blowers who will start the activities. We need folks to help with the prizes and man the registration tables. And, we need a couple of people to

So what does a president of a lake association do? The president makes sure that we have a Treasurer; signs cheques to cover various costs such as insurance, memberships in FOCA, CHA, etc; attends lake-focused workshops and meetings in Haliburton, Peterborough and Toronto; prepares for the Regatta by ordering food and a Port-a-Potty; liaises with Sunrise to host the Regatta; approves content for newsletters and provides the Presidents message; but most of all, the president takes the pulse of the lake by speaking with property owners and listening to their concerns. It is not difficult. We will need a new President this year. Are you up to the challenge?

LLPOA 2010 AGM Meeting Highlights

Twenty-seven members representing all of the designated shores attended the AGM held at the Government Dock on August 7. Joe Harwood chaired and Mieke Foster took minutes. The following is a brief summary of the meeting. 1. The 2009 AGM Minutes, as summarized in the 2010 Winter Newsletter, were adopted. 2. Bonnie Hinschberger provided an interim 2010 Financial Report. See final 2010 Financial Report on the next page. 3. Mieke reviewed past membership numbers. Two-thirds of property owners are LLPOA members. Joe remarked that this is above other lake association memberships. Face-to-face meetings are best for engaging property owners. Joe reaffirmed that all property owners will continue to receive the Newsletters. 4. Bonnie reported on Regatta finances. Income from Raffles and the Silent Auction help offset Regatta expenses. Joe acknowledged the difficulty in gauging food quantities. A member volunteered to help obtain/donate food. Additional help during the Regatta is needed to support activities and events.

later in the summer. A digital copy of the map is at http://www.ourlakes.ca/ourlakes_037.htm. Except for Mikes history, all map information came from public data sources.

8. Joe reported on water testing and lake stewardship. Water has been tested regularly and we are doing well. The Coalition of Haliburton Lake Associations (CHA) Lake Stewards meeting takes place in September. 9. Stephen reported on the work of the Coalition for Equitable Water Flow (CEWF) to make the Trent Severn Waterway (TSW) more accountable to the reservoir lakes, including Loon Lake. All agreed to support the CEWF with a donation of $.50 per member. 10. Joe gave an update on the development of a Lake Plan that could provide a 25 year vision for the lake based on the shared values of property owners. It is a lot of work but will help ensure the future health of our lake. Needed: someone to champion the lake plan and guide it through to completion. 11. John suggested that the LLPOA provide a donation annually to support a local organization or charity. It was agreed to donate $300 to the Haliburton Highlands Health Association. Donations to be reviewed annually at AGM. 12. Joe opened a discussion on the replacement of the Gregory Road culvert that is in need of upgrading or replacement. There are pros, cons, costs and differing opinions in support of either option but the status quo is not an option. Various provincial and federal ministries have been contacted but it will be up to the Ministry of Natural Resources in consultation with the Department of Oceans and Fisheries to recommend a preferred option to resolve the culvert issue and ensure Loon Lake health. 13. Most members of the 2010-11 LLPOA executive were acclaimed. Joe will step down in 2011 and requires a Vice-President. See full list below. Complete Minutes will be posted on Mikes Blog and made available at the 2011 Regatta and AGM.

5. Joe spoke to his Spring Newsletter message on miscommunications and urged members to speak openly with their neighbours to keep lines of communication open. Joe would like to use emails to supplement mailed Newsletters. Quarterly emails would be acceptable. Options were given for those without personal email accounts. Mike Grinnell has offered to post full AGM minutes and newsletters, with colour pictures, on his Blog: http://dudmanlake.blogspot.com/. 6. Joe reported that the LLPOA History Project is not going as well as hoped. He has seen the Sunrise history and received other tidbits of Loon Lake history but would like more anecdotal accounts before the stories are lost. Newsletters were deemed the best way to communicate with all members. Advertising welcomed but preference will be for LLPOA member businesses or services. 7. Stephen showed members a draft of the Loon Lake Community map to be distributed to all property owners

Our program to test the quality of the water in the lake continued in 2010. Samples were collected from 10 set locations around the lake by Ellen Gorrie, Joe Harwood, and Pete Sibley. Thanks to Joe Harwood and Chuck Piercy for delivering the samples to SGS Lakefield Research Ltd for analysis. Here are the results: Total Coliforms Samples of July 11, 2010 Samples of September 21, 2010 E. Coli Provincial Water Quality Limit Samples of July 11, 2010 Samples of September 21, 2010 CFU/100 ml 10 18 5 47 CFU/100 ml 100 2 10 09

All of the test results were well below the Provincial Water Quality Limit for E. Coli. The Water Committee plans to continue the testing program in 2011. If you want to help with collecting the water samples or could deliver them to Lakefield, please contact Pete Sibley at sibleypeter@gmail.com.

* Regatta income comes largely from the sale of Raffle tickets and the Silent Auction. Your donations of items for the Raffle and Auction are greatly appreciated and help support the LLPOA.

Loon Lake Community Maps

Additional Loon Lake Water Testing

Finally! You saw a copy at the Regatta and the AGM and now after many years of talk, a map of Loon Lake has been developed through ProCarto Maps, financed through Anthony vanLieshout of Royal Lepage Reality, and delivered to each property owner by the Shore Rep last August or September. Unfortunately, not everyone was home, so some of the maps did not get delivered in person. If you did NOT receive your map, let us know by sending an email to llpoahaliburton@gmail.com or by contacting a member of the executive at one of the LLPOA events.
Larry Hall receives his map from Stephen Foster.

On Saturday, May 7, 2011 Mike wrote in his Blog: Today I started my annual sampling and studying of our lake water. I collected samples for phosphate and calcium analysis by the MOE and started the ongoing testing for Clarity, pH, Total Alkalinity, and Total Dissolved Solids. Mid-summer sampling for the presence of invasive species will also be done. I will also be doing some bottom substance sampling and submitting it to Trent University for analysis. I do not test for the presence of coliforms since this is done by the LLPOA. Not long ago, I was asked by a cottager if I was the one that does all the Science Stuff on the lake. After a simple and humble Yes, I was then asked, And Just How Is The Lake? My answer to that question, while it could certainly have been quite lengthy, was a simple and straightforward Its Good! And that truly is how our lake is! It should continue to be that way if people look after and respect it for years to come!

And, Lake Water Testing for Calcium!

On Saturday, October 9, 2010, Mike wrote in his Blog: While Loon Lake is constantly being tested for e-Coli throughout the summer months, there are many other tests that are being done on our water. Water clarity, phosphorus levels, invasive species tests as well as pH and alkalinity are monitored. Over the past few years, many lakes in Ontario have been under study for calcium levels by different groups. One of those groups is the Ministry of the Environment (MOE). Our lake was included in that testing. Here's a link to an article in this week's (October 5, 2010) Haliburton County Echo that will give you more information including the importance of calcium in our water: http://www.haliburtonecho.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2785 263&auth=Jenn%20Watt For 2009 and 2010, the calcium levels in Loon Lake have been at 17.8 mg/L and 15.1 mg/L respectively. And it's my understanding that those levels should not be of any immediate concern. In talking with the MOE, they hope to have an information paper or data sheet ready for publication in the spring of 2011. If you search the Internet, there is a wealth of information available on calcium depletion; one of them can be found at the following Queens University link: http://post.queensu.ca/~pearl/Calcium/calcium.html

Canadian Lakes Loon Survey - 2010

On Tuesday, October 26, 2010, Mike wrote in his Blog: This year was quite a different year for observing loon activity on our lake. It was different in that there were times when it appeared that there were no loons to be found! We believe that was because there was a total of five Double-crested Cormorants on the lake and that their presence somehow affected the lake's loon activities. The Double-crested Cormorants are competition for the loons in that they too eat a lot of fish. It is reported that a loon will eat upwards of 750 pounds of fish a year, and a Cormorant isn't too far behind! The Cormorants did not nest this year and we hope they don't return next year. We had a total of nine "official" days spent observing loons but there were many other days of searching while out on the lake while canoeing or fishing. There were no young loons born this year and we did not find an active nest. One nest that had been used for several years, and which had been repaired once, was actually found damaged beyond repair. We believe the damage was done by the high water levels maintained during the nesting season. If we have a couple more years of no young being born on the lake, we will seriously need to consider building floating nest platforms. As of today, there are a couple of loons left on the lake that are busy fishing and waiting to fly south for the winter... Wolves? Yes, there is a pack of hungry wolves living near the lake. Deer beware!

CHA is a member-driven coalition made up of 40 property owners' associations and 53 lakes from across Haliburton County. It draws upon the collective knowledge and strength of its member associations to create synergy through sharing best practices, effectively studying common issues, developing common solutions, recommending county-wide policies, and influencing outcomes. Their most recent project was the development of Living on the Edge: a Lake Stewards Handbook distributed to member associations. There are fifteen sections on topics pertinent to lake health. Over the years, this Newsletter and Mikes Blog have highlighted many of these topics.

A Road Story - Salem Lane Each spring, the LLPOA Newsletter features a road story written by a resident who knows why a particular road was given its current name. The collected road stories will become an integral part of the LLPOA History Project. Thanks to Pete and Gail Sibley for their submission. Salem Lane is the new name for one of the oldest roads at Loon Lake. It is the second road on the left as you drive in Gregory Road (the first is Moccasin Trail). We have an undated survey which shows that Gregory Road originally followed the course of Salem Lane up to the edge of our property, and then made a sharp right turn up the hill to rejoin the current course of Gregory Road. At some point, the road was changed to continue past Salem Lane and straight up the hill, leaving Salem Lane for the use of its three cottages. We did not choose the name Salem Lane. It was arbitrarily assigned as part of the 9-1-1 project. We would have preferred Glenney Lane in memory of Gails

grandparents, Dr. Wilton Ross Glenney and Alda Piercy Glenney, who built one of the first cottages on Loon Lake. We contacted staff at 9-1-1 to complain about the name that they assigned us. We were told that with the agreement of 75% of the homeowners on the lane (we have 100%) and a payment of $1200, they would consider changing the name of the road. If you agree that this would be in keeping with the history of Loon Lake and therefore worthy of the support of the LLPOA, please let us know!

The LLPOA Community

1. Membership Fees: Included with this mailing is a membership form that also includes a section to submit a name to be part of the Lake Plan Committee as well as a section for you to tell us how you can assist us or how we can assist you. Membership remains at $25.00 per property. There is also a space to make a donation. If you neglected to pay your membership fees last year, do include them with this years fees. Fees are indicated as Y (Yes, paid), N (Not paid) or D (Duplicate owner, fees paid by other owner). See label on your membership form. Every effort is made to keep membership information upto-date. Returning your form promptly really helps! 2. Membership Numbers: Through our database, we know how many property owners have paid their yearly membership fees. We also know that a few individuals may be forgetful. For this reason, membership labels show your status for the previous few years. 2000 - 73 2001 - 69 2002 - 71 2003 - 78 2004 - 83 2005 - 88 2006 - 98 2007 - 93 2008 - 97 2009 - 93 2010 - 90 2011 - ???

3. Membership Information It is Important! Personal information compiled from the membership forms is not shared, published or distributed. It stays with the Executive. But, it is important to give us your contact information including home telephone and email address. Why? This past spring, one of the permanent residents noticed that a tree had fallen on a seasonal cottage roof allowing rain to enter. The cottage owner was not an LLPOA member but thanks to information collected when the Loon Lake Community maps were hand delivered, we were able to contact the property owner promptly and prevent any further damage to his property.

3. Annual Regatta: Reserve Saturday morning and early afternoon on July 30 (rain date is Sunday, July 31 for the annual LLPOA Regatta. Location: Sunrise (Drive to 16294 Highway 118 or go by boat to where the lake flows out to Stump Lake) at 10:00 a.m. sharp. Dont be late! Details will be posted on the Bulletin Boards. The Regatta is a family-focused fun event for all members of the LLPOA community. You can help, participate, renew friendships, discuss lake issues, or sit back and watch. Help us to make it the best yet. This year we will again have a Volunteer Sign-up Sheet at the Registration Desk. There are lots of small ways that you can help make the Regatta a success.

You can contribute by selling raffle tickets, managing the raffle and Silent Auction tables, giving out winning ribbons, selling T-shirts, announcing events, etc.

Caring for Loon Lake Our Shared Responsibility

The following article came from Mikes Blog

Joe selling Raffle tickets in his very distinctive shirt!

You arrive up here on a Friday night after a long drive and settle in for the night. When you wake up in the morning, the lake is there, shimmering like it always does, and gives you a sense of relaxation, of escape from the city world. You spend the day lounging around on the dock watching the water splashing against the shore and perhaps going out for a boat ride. If there are kids or grand kids, perhaps you'll spend a few hours pulling them around on tubes. You'll enjoy some diving off the dock and then, after a long day, head up to the cottage for a barbeque. After dinner, you'll go out fishing for an hour or so. Then you'll come in and settle down for a movie or some TV before going to bed. That seems like a fairly typical busy day at the cottage - enjoying the lake. Something you repeat several times over the summer season. But what if that day wasn't as nice as it's always been? What if the lake didn't shimmer but instead had patches of algae floating offshore and building up on your beach? And what if the algae had a distinct odour? What if the shoreline was all eroded away with rocks and tree roots showing? What if there were weeds in front of the dock where you wanted to dive or float on a tube? What if you cut your feet on the zebra mussels on the lake bottom? What if your whole body itched after you went in swimming? And the ladder on the side of the dock had long green slimy, mossy fibres that got all over your legs when you tried to get out of the water? What if going fishing yielded no fish and you were constantly getting snagged on weeds? Sounds pretty bad, doesn't it? Think it can't happen in Loon Lake it just might! It's happened just south of here in the Kawarthas and it only took a few decades for the change to occur. And that's what this article is all about preventing a similar situation happening on Loon Lake. It doesn't take much to start it all going. Shore lands being over cleared when preparing a lot for building; dumping extraneous fill into the lake; removing shoreline stumps; taking out rocks to make a swimming area; destroying fish habitat with the wrong type of docks; extending lawns to the water and spreading fertilizer on them to improve their appearance; not pumping out septic tanks regularly; using unfriendly cleaning chemicals; taking boats into other lakes to fish and putting them back into Loon Lake without properly washing them off first; making changes around the lake that can affect water levels; and perhaps bringing up those different looking minnows that you bought at a bait shop down south. The list goes on. These things can all happen, quite innocuously, and usually through a lack of knowledge about what can cause problems. Many years ago, a change took place on the north-west side of the lake that affected nor only the Burnt River, but the entire lake. Following that change, our year end water levels are higher than they once were. And since that time, there has been noticeable shoreline erosion and a significant build up of sediments on the lake

Three happy Itty-Bitty Canoe Race winners Thank you Sunrise! We are especially grateful to Sunrise for letting the LLPOA use their property and facilities. Sunrise members also take a major role in helping to set up, prepare the food and tidy up afterwards. Thank you for your support!

Tidying up after the Regatta

4. LLPOA 2011 Annual General Meeting: The LLPOA AGM will take place on Saturday, August 6, 10:00 a.m. (rain date is Sunday, August 7) at the Government Dock. Various Reports will be received and the 2011-2012 Executive will be elected. Bring your lawn chairs and be prepared to discuss the business of the lake. Let us know if you have an issue you would like to discuss. Gone Home: Several members of the Loon Lake Community have recently passed away. Our condolences go out to the families of Donna Bunn, Vic Muncy III, Michael DeVries and Dawn Wanless. Donations will be made in their memory by the LLPOA.

bottom. Currently, another change is being planned on the Burnt River and I hope that it will be well engineered without adverse effects. Caring for Loon Lake is not really difficult. All you really have to do is stop and take the time to do some research about the problems that can occur and what you have to do to prevent them from happening here. And then you have to ask yourself a question each time you are about to do something. "Will what I'm about to do affect Loon Lake?" Your sources of learning are many and one of the best places to start is at the web site of the Federation of Ontario Cottager's Associations [FOCA], at their Environment Program: There is also the Ministry of the Environment: http://www.ene.gov.on.ca/environment/en/local/lake_partn er_program/index.htm. And then there's Peterborough Green Up: http://www.greenup.on.ca/index.php. These are but a few of the places you can go to learn how you can protect Loon Lake. You can attend conferences during the summer months. An excellent one is put on each year by the Lakeland Alliance; here's the link: http://www.lakeland.greenup.on.ca/. Once you know what can happen and how to avoid problems, you will be better prepared to do your part in protecting Loon Lake's biodiversity for future generations. Talk it up with your friends and neighbours and get them interested in how they too can help care for Loon Lake. We're not talking about complicated rocket science. But we are talking about work that does take some time; some conviction, some stamina, and some people skills to work on projects that, at times, can be challenging. Loon Lake is precious and it still is in pristine condition. Don't let it change! Caring for Loon Lake The Next Step

The scope of this web site is to encourage and enable local lake stewards to participate in strategic planning and the implementation of sustainable living practices at the lake level (sub-watershed) and, eventually, at the watershed level. It is an educational tool to assist local groups with understanding the lake planning process and provides many resources such as a lake plan handbook, contacts, success stories, examples of approved lake plans, and identifies other products and services that will assist you with writing, implementing and monitoring your lake plan to success. Ontario is known as the land of lakes, and, over time, these lakes have become important water resources for ecological, public and economic health. Unfortunately, increasing changes to so many of Ontarios lakes by various natural occurrences and human activities is jeopardizing the ecological integrity of these ecosystems. In many areas of the province, the changes are significant, whereas in others, it has only just begun to be noticed. People are attracted to lakes because of their recreational opportunities, natural settings and social values. Once a pristine environment, untouched by human intervention, our lakes are now ringed with residential and commercial development, and the very reason why people want to be on the lake may be in jeopardy. Many changes threaten the quality of our lake experience: development, pollution, boat traffic, construction, noise and the loss of special places of natural, social or historical significance. The biggest single source of change to a lake is property development and the actions of property owners within the watershed or along the shoreline. Why Lake Planning? There is a growing belief among many lake communities that the health of their lake is vested in those who use and have an interest in its future. With this in mind, communities and government agencies are buying-into the concept of a community-based approach that relies on local people to identify and confirm ecosystem health goals and to take action to protect these values. Lake planning enables lake residents and stakeholders to contribute a positive influence on the health of their lake by participating in the identification and protection of important values and features of their lake and its watershed, as well as those of the local community.

The following article, an obvious segway from the above article, was downloaded from http://www.lakeplan.com/ and has information pertinent to the future of our lake. Lake Planning: A Journey into the Future Defining the Neighbourhoods

French Planning Services Inc. is a consulting firm that specializes in facilitation and resource management planning. We created this web site to assist lake associations, residents, business operators, and other stakeholders in protecting and conserving the quality of life in their lake or river community through the preparation of a personalized action plan. The lake planning process identifies the social, natural and physical features that enhance your lake, and its surrounding area, and make it a desirable place for people to live, visit and earn a sustainable livelihood. The objective of the lake planning process is to develop a series of actions that protect, restore and enhance these features through a combination of land use planning policy and stewardship approaches. It is the combination of these approaches that ensures the protection of values and features that are important to sustaining the high quality of life in the lakes community.
