KNOX FARM
Heritage House Relocation —The Anthony Washington. House
Relocation of 28-'x 34' heritage home from 5541 Washington Rd. to -Knox Farm, 6585 Enfield Rd.
Anthony Washington House History
This fieldstone farmhouse'was constructed in the NeoClassical style for Anthony Washing and his wife,
Elizabeth Annis and their eighteen children. The farm on which it was originally located was purchased
from the Crown in 1834. It is presumed that the home was built by Daniel White and sons William and
Daniel, who came to Canada from Cornwall, England. They were stone masons and brick layers who
settled in this area and built many homes.
In 1882 Thomas and Margaret Pascoe (nine chiidren)purchased the property. in 1890 the Pascoe farm
was awarded the silver medal for the best producing farm in Durham County. Lewis Pascoe inherited
the property from his father Thomas and carried on farming with his wife Emma Jane and two girls. in
1922 ownership was transferred to Isaac and Emily Hardy and their two children, who were also expert
farmers. The property became known as "Hardivue" after Isaac switched from beef cattle to purebred
Holsteins. It remained in the Hardy ownership until Isaac retired in 1974, when it transferred to Mike
and Colleen Vetzal (now Pingle).
This one and one half storey house was built in the 1850's. It is three bays wide and three bays long and
still retains its raised German white pointing in the south fa §ade above the old porch line,
The stone farmhouse was recommended for designation at its new location under the Ontario Hertiage
Act for its cultural heritage significance and the following exterior architectural features:
Exterior:
• The Ashlar granite stone of the south fagade
• The east and west facades' square faced granite
• The north facade's random rubble
• The main entrance rectangular transom and sidelights
End of designation information.
From Dorothy Snowden (Hardy),'daughter of Isaac and Emily Hardy, originally a verandah surrounded
three sides. Upstairs there were four bedrooms and a large linen closet. On the main floor there were
two bedrooms, dining room with pantry, parlour and entrance hall.
An old addition to the north housed a large summer kitchen, pantry and woodshed with a stairway
leading to the upper open area. It is believed this was the living area while the stone part was being
built. Both sections were joined and sealed together. The Vetzal family removed the frame part.
Recent History
The Knox Family became Interested in saving the home in 2003 after it was purchased by the Ministry of
Transportation and was no longer inhabited by tenants. The house was easily vandalized, damage
included a campfire in the middle of the front room floor, snapping all of the banister rails, stealing the
railing (which neighbours found in the ditch and returned to us), making holes in all wooden cross and
bible doors and on all walls, and smashing windows. Knowing that it was one of the oldest houses in the
community of Soiina, we wanted to somehow save the house.
A Family Decision
Ken's quote at the beginning was "form follows function rule." We had to decide what it would be for.
We considered living in it, renting it put, a bed and breakfast or'school tour base, antique shop etc. We
still haven't decided. Though we had wanted to move the house to a more private area of the farm, the
weight of the building prohibited it. The lot which had been severed by John and Jean Knox in May of
1974 was chosen as the future site of the building (moving it to the back of the property was our
preference but it was impossible due to its weight).
MTO and RFP's
When we contacted NITO to express interest in the saving the house, we were brought into the RFP
process in July 2003 with Jim and Margaret Coombes. The Coombes family was trying to save Jim's
family home located at 5690 Acres Road. Together we bid on the RFP at the end of August. MTO
notified us a month later that we had received the house, on September 22, 2003. The final paperwork
was completed In December 2003.
Finding a Mover and Getting Permits
We were told that the local movers, Laurie McCullough and Pollard the Mover didn't have the
equipment to handle the weight of the house, and were directed to CDS movers. CDS quoted the move
at $102K plus GST. We were conned into giving a sub - contractor $50K deposit ($40K deposit for the
move plus $10K for a birch floor). When we contacted CDS, they hadn't received the money, the
contractor had disappeared and their employee who quoted the job had recently died of a heart attack.
The con -man went to Jail for conning a few people, but we lost the $50K. CDS provided a new moving
quote at $80K plus gst. In January 2004 we started the permitting process, and received a demolition
permit in February to remove the house, and a building permit to construct a new foundation was
received in March 2004:
Municipal Conservation Easement
In 2004 the planning department established the Heritage Home Grant Program, intended to assist
property owners with financing the relocation of Heritage Homes. The Grant is equivalent to the
amount"of the Clarington portion of the Residential. Development Charge. In exchange, we signed a
conservation easement the grant and the cost of the municipal portion of the development charge was
reimbursed. The conservation easement was based on the format provided by'the Ontario Heritage
Foundation, and under the easement the heritage attributes of the house named (Ashlar stone exterior
and front entrance transom and sidelights) are protected.
The Big Day
Due to the weight of the house, it had to be moved on a day when the ground was frozen solid. The
move was schedule for Sunday, February Wh 2004 at dawn. There were about 100 people in total, who
were either interested observers or working on the move. Many local neighbours and heritage home
buffs came out. The road was blocked off by police officers, and Bell and Hydro One were on hand to
move wires. The pace was slow.
The move took all day; ending at dark. DRPD was directing traffic around the move for eleven hours,
At the move site, a ramp had been dug down into the basement, and the house had been balanced on
6x6 piers with the foundation stones removed.
At the new site, excavation had been completed and clear stone was placed in the bottom, on which 6x6
piers would be built after the house was relocated. Following that step, a foundation was constructed
under the home 3' thick using concrete block.
Remaining Work
There has been significant work done since the move. A driveway was laid out and landscaping done.
The east wall caved in due to moisture from the old eavestrough leaking Into the wall and freezing. A
well was dug In the summer of 2006 by Kawartha well drillers and is 132 feet deep. A quote was
received for a new roof in historically- accurate looking shingles for 20K. Having spent a lot of money by
this point, a metal roof was supplied by Havelock Metal Products installed over the existing roof by us in
the spring of 2006. It cost four thousand and we installed it ourselves. A new furnace was installed.
And there is remaining work to be done... decisions need to be made on a new veranda /south entrance
and garage /summer kitchen addition. Basement stairs are required and at some point the basement
should be finished.
For future projects Ken's quote is "take your wildest dreams and then times them by a factor of four — a
project like this could eat some alive." Margaret Coombes said that we could spend not only 10K a year
for seven years (our original plan), but 10K a month for seven years and we still wouldn't be finished this
latest Knox Farm project.

• August 2012, participate in the Convention of Nuclear Safety Extraordinary
Meeting and Peer Review 'of National Responses concerning the event.
Philip summarized that the Canadian Nuclear Power Plants are safe and pose a very
small risk to the health and safety of Canadians or to the environment. The current
status of nuclear emergency preparedness is adequate and the CNSC regulatory
framework is effective in ensuring the safe operation of nuclear power plants in
Canada.
Philip also indicated the CNSC Task Force will review proposed long -term
measures to enhance safety of nuclear power plants and implement any required
long -term corrective measures.
Philip Webster or his associates will continue to update the DNHC on compliance
issues at Pickering and Darlington Nuclear Power Plants. The slides Philip used for
the Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Event are attached as Appendix 2.

4.4 Progress Report from OPG concerning the Refurbishment and Continued Operation
at Darlington Environmental Assessment (EA) Project
Donna Pawlowski, Manager, Social Aspects Environmental Assessments, provided
a progress report on the Refurbishment and Continued Operation of the Darlington
Nuclear Generating Station (DNGS). The highlights of Donna's presentation were:
• February 2010, OPG made a business decision to refurbish DNGS and the
planning phase began with a thorough EA and Safety Review that will lead to
an Integrated Improvement Plan.
• Refurbishment will allow DNGS to continue operations for an additional 25
to 30 years.
• The Refurbishment Phase at DNGS from 2013 -2024 will include:
o Construct used reactor component and other support buildings
o Shutdown, defuel and dewater the reactors
o Replace major reactor components and store the parts in the new
Waste Storage Buildings to be constructed on -site
• The Continued Operation Phase at DNGS from 2019 -2055 will include:
o Continued generation of electricity for 25 to 30 years
o Ongoing maintenance, improvements and upgrades that will include
replacement of major components if necessary

Donna indicated the Preliminary EA Results of the Project suggests it will not
result in any significant adverse effects, taking into account proposed design and
C
mitigation measures. The minor negative effects primarily during the
Refurbishment Phase of the Project will be within the site and can be managed by
mitigation and monitoring.
The Next Steps in the EA Schedule for the Project are:
• The Environmental Impact Statement and Technical Support Documents will
be submitted to the CNSC by year end 2011.
• The CNSC will issue Draft Documents for Public Review by the Summer
2012.

1. Call to Order — 7:12 P.M.

THAT: The minutes of October 11, 2011 is approved, as presented; with no
additions, deletions or, changes.

CARRIED
3. Arena Manager's Report —Brian advised that NVMHA wanted to meet with us
early in the New Year for discussions on fitture ice rental times for the 2012 -13
seasons. Adjustments need to be made, due to the lack ofAIE Teams in their
league, now. There are also concerns with OMHA amalgamation of certain ice
centres and Newcastle — Orono may be part of that scenario.
Also, the energy rebate application to Veridian had been completed for the new
lighting installed and a cheque would be forwarded to us within 8 -10 weeks.
Regarding maintenance, concerns of water leakage from the showers to the hall
area need to be addressed. He was going to try a silicone sealer to the floor tiles
in the hall. Barring that not working, we would need to address the issue this
spring, once the ice is out.
4. Financial Report — YTD Income statement was provided along with Accounts
Receivable — Gord Lee advised. $40, 000.00 had been removed from the GIC to
cover the lighting project and the new compressor for the refrigeration plant.
Requests to Mr. Horvath for some financial help on these projects had been
unsuccessful. Although, these items appear to fall under the `Building Envelope "
(2)
Which is part of the Operations Department, they need to be requested and
budgeted much sooner in advance for us to receive any financial help. In
addition, if the funds are available through the business operation of the arena, it
would be logical to use those monies for arena improvements. Projects like those
two we just completed, in the fall only help to reduce our future operating costs.
If the money is available in our account, we need not be asking the municipality
.for funding assistance. Our board members can be commended for the current
financial shape the arena is in and the way the arena business is being handled.
Our biggest financial operating concern is attempting to provide a profit fi°om the
snack bar. Again this year, even with board volunteer management and a
reduction of $8, 000.00 in wages on the snack bar payroll, we will not make a
profit Having a Tim's around the corner, doesn't help the situation. Minimum
wages of $9.60 to $10.25 per hour is also difficult to budget. Several evenings
throughout the season; wages are more than revenue. Games bring families —
practices don't.
Business Follow -up from Previous Meetings
• Lobby Bleachers —Getting closer to reality —According to Gord Blaker; they are
built and now being painted. Stay tuned.
5. New Business: Nothing to report at this time.
