also testing of the soil surrounding the site for any oil or gasoline contamination. One of the test samples showed hydrocarbon levels in the ground core that exceeded provincial standards. In June 2007 Shell Canada offered to indemnify the city against all claims of contamina- tion from past use of the former gas station site. During the period from June 2007 to February 2008 the company and city exchanged letters concerning the results of that one particular soil sample. The city hired the consultant firm, Levac Robichaud Leclerc to review and revise the enginee- ring report of Shell Canada. The city also had the legal firm of Charron Langlois review and revise the indemnity agree- ment that the company had proposed. During its April 9 regular session Cla- rence-Rockland council voted approval of Bylaw 2012-42 to authorize Mayor Marcel Guibord and Chief Administrative Officer Pierre Tessier to sign an indemnity agree- ment with Shell Canada. New “no shooting” rule for Larose Forest vision@eap.on.ca Bourget Hunters and target shooters tramping throughLarose Forest could endup losing their guns and facing charges if they fire off a round in thewrong part of thewoods now. Clarence-Rockland council approved an amendment to the municipal firearms bylaw following a petition from Larose Forest residents worried about shooting near their homes. The bylaw designates the section of Larose Forest between St-Felix Road and Route 25 as a safety buffer zone with signs posted declaring that it is a no-shooting area. There may be a farmers’ market in the Village of Vars this year after all. Vars Community Association President Jean Séguin told the board of directors during the May 17 regular session that he has met with officials for the Anglican church diocese who have granted permis- sion for the parish to offer use of the St. Andrew’s Anglican Church property at the corner of Rockdale Road and Devine Street for use as a site. “We’re back on track,” Séguin said. “It’s doable.” Details still need to be worked out for use of the church property as a farmers’ market site. That includes setting vendor’s space rental rates and other issues, including promotion. Theremaybe somegrant-in-aid funding available from the City of Ottawa to help with promotional costs if the community association is also able to contribute either in cash or in kind. Séguin noted that he has had calls from people offering to help organize and manage a farmers market for Vars if the association decides to go ahead with the project this year as was the origi- nal plan. Canada Day was suggested as a possible launch date for the first farmers’ market session. He has also had inquiries about the likelihood of a community flea market project and suggested to the association board that could be combined with a farmers’ market. “The more you have on the tables, the more people you could bring in,” he said.

Soil conditions where a Shell Canada gas station used to be won’t be coming back to haunt the City of Clarence- Rockland. The city and the company have agreed on terms for an indemnity agreement between each concerning the vacant lot at the corner of Laurier Street and Edwards Street where a Shell station used to be. The company shut down the station in September 2006 and went through the stan- dard site-cleaning process that involved removal of the underground fuel storage tanks, carting away the original soil from the site and replacing it with clean fill, and
There will be five additions to the municipal employee list for the City of Clarence-Rockland. Council has given the go-ahead to ad- ministration to restructure the municipal staffing setup for the city. The new organizational structure includes five new positions that Chief Administrative Officer Pierre Tessier hopes to have filled before the start of summer. He anticipates no problem accommodating the new postings in the existing 2012 municipal budget. “For this year I’ll be okay,” he said during an interview. The current budget included $100,000
