Pickleball Nation at Central Frontenac Council

By Jeff Green ast year, the Sharbot Lake Pickleballers transformed the derelict tennis court at the former public school into an active Pickle Ball court, using money they fundraised themselves.

Last week, at a regular meeting of Central Frontenac Council (June 28) the Pickleballers; including Sandy Robertson, Doug Estoc, and Kelli McRobert, came to Council looking to find out if council is able to guarantee them access to the court for 5 years.

The court, as it stands, is only good enough for beginning or casual Pickleballers, and it has no washroom facilities.

“It is time for something better,” said Sandy Roberston, “and we can find the money for it.”

“So, what do you want from us?” asked Mayor Fran-

SF’s New Official (draft) Plan: Not Without Controversy

by Wilma Kenny outh Frontenac Council held a special COW meeting on June 28 to review the draft of their new Official Plan, raise questions and plan the timelines for public consultation and final adoption.

The presentation was led by Claire Dodds, Director of Development Services and Rory Baksh, Consultant with Watson and Associates.

The most-discussed topics of public feedback were: Resident services (sewage, roads, internet, etc.); Environmental protection; Lot severances; Settlement areas; Waterfront development; Groundwater/intake protection; Agricultural protection; Waterfront protection; Climate change, and Short-term rentals.

Outreach to Aboriginal communities identified a number of interests, including: Hunting, Fishing, and Gathering rights; Duty to consult and accommodate; Cultural Heritage and Archeology Notification; Environmental Protection and Conservation; Impacts on Water and Waterlife; Climate Change; Health and Safety of Aboriginal Peoples (MMIW and Child Welfare); Acknowledgement of Traditional Territories and Pre-Contact History; Commitments to a Continued Relationship.

Council concerns included: Lot severances and consent policies • Development servicing • Settlement areas • Agricultural area boundaries and policies • Waterfront protection and CPPS • Timing of moving ahead with public consultation and adoption of the Official Plan.

Baksh reported that Watson & Associates predicted that, due to proximity to Kingston and the 401, South Frontenac population is predicted to grow by 5,440 within the next 30 years. “It is important to plan for growth; to provide appropriate services for both rural and settlement areas.” It is expected that the population increase will be split nearly equally between both areas. He said it was important to have a plan which would help guide future growth.

S

Consent Policies: No ‘Resetting the Clock” Since 2000, three rural residential consents, or lot severances, have been permitted from an existing rural lot. No additional allocation of consents are recommended, but policies are proposed to allow infill consents under limited circumstances, eg where there is servicing to support it. Rural property owners will also retain the right to sever any unclaimed consents remaining on their land. In settlement areas, it is expected that plan of subdivision or condominium will be the predominant form of development, though infilling will be encouraged where supported by servicing. (‘to enliven backlots”).

It is intended that these policies will direct growth to settlement areas, where there is easier access to goods, services and employment, and less need for cars. “If all anticipated growth were to be by rural consent severances with 70 meter frontages, then by 2040, the houses strung out along the rural roads would be the equivalent of Kingston to Perth and back.”

The proposed OP identifies 13 “settlement areas”: the major ones are Verona, Sydenham and Inverary; others are Battersea, Harrowsmith, Hartington, Sunbury, Bellrock, Perth Road, Wilmer, Spaffordton, Railton and Petworth. The proposed enlarged settlement boundaries include 1,850 hectares of land available for development.

Council members were not comfortable with this. Councillor Sleeth said he could not believe there was such a large amount of available land within settlements, and plans of subdivision take 5-10 years to develop. Ruttan said that the limit of three would be gone once the OP was accepted, and once the amount of proposed prime agricultural land is set aside, there will be less land for development. (Dodds replied that unutilized consents would remain, and there was an overall increase in the potential for rural development.) Revill said the numbers didn’t add up; Dodds replied that the population projection included both seasonal and permanent residents.

Sutherland asked why people would choose to move into settlement areas while cheaper rural land is available? He said servicing was essential to encourage development in settlement areas.”Developers go to where the land is, and often end up in places that should not be developed.”

Mayor Vandewal said that the only reason to go into hamlets would be because all rural development has been choked off; “Too many ‘city-style subdivisions and we’ll become a suburb of Kingston.

No one in this room lives in a settlement area. We’re looking at choking off all rural development. Our current tax rates won’t be sustainable because we won’t have the growth.” He added that a plan of subdivision requires a huge investment.

“That’s my opinion, and so far, nobody’s said anything to change my mind.”

Director Dodds said the Provincial planning framework is directing growth to settlement areas, and required “limited development’ in rural areas. When Hastings tried to ‘reset the clock’ on rural severances, the Province forbade it.

Sutherland said that the wording around parks and recreation sounded like they were mainly important for Tourism development: “That the real reason for recreation is to make money.” He asked if it could be reworded to indicate that the Township supports its parks because they are important for the residents. “We didn’t strike the right chord there,” said Baksh; “The new draft will be more in line with recreation for the citizens.”

By the time the meeting had gone on for three hours, final sections were covered very quickly. There was general agreement not to rush and try to pass the new OP before the fall elections: several Councillors said they wanted adequate public consultation, and summer was not the best time to accomplish that. Deputy Mayor Leonard summed it up: “This (process) should not be fast-tracked: we need to take the time to be sure things are done right before it’s put into stone.”

Dodds said she appreciated Council’s candour, and agreed that it was important to not rush the public timeline; “This is a solid first draft.” ■

The accused was not held in custody and is presently before the courts in relation to these charges. ■

Tidying Up Without the Strain!

According to the Canadian Chiropractic Association 11 million Canadians suffer from disorders of the musculoskeletal system, including injuries such as sprains and strains, chronic or acute low back and neck pain, arthritis, as well as other congenital or acquired disorders. When we overuse our joints, muscles, and tendons, injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome can develop. But there are things you can do to reduce the risk and strengthen your body while you tidy up around the house.

Warm up: With any type of physical activity, it is very important to warm up. Before you start cleaning or organizing, walk around the house or do some simple stretches to help prevent injury.

Break up heavy loads: Think back to the last time you did groceries.

Did you carry all the bags into the house at once instead of taking multiple trips to the car? We know how tempting it is to make fewer trips, but you may be risking an injury.

Divide and conquer: Dedicating 30 minutes every day to your household tasks can decrease your stress and risk of injury or fatigue.

Maintain proper posture: Vacuuming and mopping the floors often require excessive bending, reaching, and twisting. Avoid stretching out your arms and bending at the waist. Instead, hold the vacuum or mop handle close to your body and walk back and forth with it. Keep your spine relaxed and neutral while doing these chores.

Switch it up: Prevent unwanted strain on your shoulders, neck, and back and use both sides of your body when cleaning. Occasionally, consider cleaning the bathroom tiles or washing dishes with your nondominant hand.

Bonus Tip: Use proper lumbar supports if you find yourself sitting for long spells. Every 20-30 minutes stand up and stretch out your spine.

CF Council

THE FRONTENAC NEWS Cont from p2

She said that traffic stemming from the Café’ is the real problem, not Mathew Street.

“I have something else to tell you. You should make the parking on Elisabeth Street short term parking so Community Living staff don’t park there all day, every day. That would provide parking for the Café customers, and keep them off Road 38, where they block the sightlines for people turning from Elizabeth Street onto Road 38.”

Not long after Marlene Bertrim was done with her remarks, Public Works Manager Tysen Myers brought his proposal for the redevelopment of Mathew Street to the table.

He said, “I would like to thank Marlene for her ideas. We will definitely look into them.”

He then prefaced his proposal by saying he had considered bringing it to council earlier, but wanted to have all of the details worked out.

“We have presented this to the residents of Mathew Stree,” he said.

The project is being funded with money that was left over from the larger Sharbot Lake re-development project that was completed in 2020. It calls for Mathew to become a one-way road for vehicular traffic, going down the hill to Medical Centre Road, the beach and the K&P Trail. It also includes a pedestrian and bicycle path. It incorporates changes in the way Medical Centre Road will be set up for parking, and a brand-new drain at the foot of Mathew, where the existing drain is failing.

Members of Council had a number of questions about the proposal, but approved it in the end, which was fortunate because the project had already gone to tender. Later in the meeting, the bid from Crain’s Construction for $620,000 on the project was also accepted by Council, and work could begin on it later this sum-

mer or early this fall.

Trillium Grant application The Trillium Foundation has a special grant deadline in early August for an arts/ cultural or recreation/athletic spaces project, and Public Works Manager Myers proposed said that after considering a number of potential projects, the public rink project at the Sharbot Lake Ball Diamond site, which is adjacent from Granite Ridge Education Centre, was chosen.

“It is the only project that would be eligible, due to the timelines and the criteria for the August 3 intake” Myers said in a report to Council.

Councillor Gowdy asked why the Tichborne rink would not be suitable for the grant, pointing out that $35,000 has been raised for that rink though community fundraising.

“As far as I know, the final location for the Tichborne/Parham rink has not been determined, and this needs to go in next month,” Myers said.

There is money for the rink project in the 2022 budget, and between the budgeted funds and the grant, the project will be able to be completed this year if the grant application is successful.

Fire hall repairs Council approved a proposal by Fire Chief Chris McDonough to install drains in the apparatus bays at the Sharbot Lake Fire Hall.

“Apparently, the decision was made not to install the drains when the hall was built, but they are necessary,” he said.

The cost is $69,000 and Bel-Con construction will be doing the work.

The same fire hall also requires a new roof, which Bel-Con is also doing, at a cost of $190,000.

The hall was built in 2007, at a cost of $500,000.

Councillor Brent Cameron asked Chief McDonough what this would mean for the life of the 15 year-old facility and McDonough said it would be good for the next 20 years.. ■

Sydenham Group Raise $1,000 for the SF Food Bank

Adult Fraternity - First of its kind in Canada – Delta Gould Delta

by Jeff Green ith a history rooted in some traditions that have been challenged over the decades, such as hazing rituals and discriminatory practices, college fraternities have generally fallen out of favour.

However, Gould Lake resident David Lahey has fond memories of a fraternity he was part of, back in the day. He moved to Gould Lake 4 years ago, with his wife Patty. He continues to work virtually with the company that he founded, Predictive Success Corporation, based in Whitby, while enjoying the good life in South Frontenac.

A serious bout with cancer, which happened during COVID, has also changed some of his perspective on life, so with some of his neighbours on Gould Lake, he began to consider setting up what they are calling an “adult fraternity”, Delta Goud Delta, dedicated to fellowship and fundraising for worthy causes.

“We operated something like the Kinsman Club, or other service clubs, working together to make a difference” he said, in a phone interview this week.

The first event that the founding chapter of the fraternity decided to put on was a Canada Day dock concert with Back

W

Swing, featuring Jim Patterson, Rick Storms (former of Jim Patterson Band) , Laura Anderson-Brick, and drummer Ron Reedy.

And true to the goal of the fraternity, not only was the event a lot of fun for the 55 people who came out to see Back Swing on the day before they headlined at the Gan Ribfest on July 2nd, it raised $1,000 for the South Frontenac Food Bank.

Ellen Mortfield , the Family Services Coordinator from Southern Frontenac Community Services, was on hand to accept the cheque.

In addition to his wife Patty, Gould Lake neighbours Scott and MJ Gordon, and Debbie and Jeff Blackstock are founding members of the Delta Gould Delta, which takes its roots as a Sydenham based fraternal organisations as seriously as its core commitment to being free of any gender or cultural bias and being dedicated to diversity and inclusion.

“We started this in Sydenham but I can see it going much farther than here, with chapters in other towns and cities across the country,” said Lahey. “Delta means difference, which is what we are all about.”

What’s Up in the Night Sky? – July 2022

by Fred Barrett really enjoy taking you on a tour of the Milky Way and the summer triangle at this time every year. The observing hour is not too late for amateurs and family to go out and enjoy a not too difficult observing challenge with or without binoculars. By 10 pm it’s dark enough to see the white band of stars and dark dust clouds that are our Milky Way, curve up over the vault of the sky from horizon to horizon. In my opinion, the summer constellations and deep sky objects are more spectacular than the winter ones and can mostly be found in or beside the path of the Milky Way. So grab a star chart to help, if you have one, and we shall begin at the southern horizon. There you will see a prominent ‘teapot’ shape, or asterism, imbedded in the constellation Sagittarius. An asterism is a formation of stars in a constellation that can resemble the shape of an everyday object. The end of the spout marks the centre of our galaxy, black hole and all!

Moving up, we soon find Aquila, the ‘Eagle’. At the top of this constellation is the bright star Altair. Further north, at the zenith of the sky, straight up, we can observe Cygnus, the Swan. It has the shape of a cross and at its northern end at the top of the cross, is the swan’s tail and the beautiful star Deneb. Looking southwest of Cygnus is the constellation Lyra. The Greeks thought it looked similar to a stringed instrument they played called a ‘lyre’.

Others nicknamed it the “Weaver” since its shape reminded them of a weaving tool used to spin yarn. The intensity of the bright star Vega at its top is hard to miss. The 3 stars Altair, Deneb and Vega are known as the Summer Triangle. They offer a handy reference point for finding other constellations in the summer sky Just west of Lyra is the constellation Hercules. A great ball of stars, called the Hercules cluster, is easy to view on the northwest side of the constellation. As we slip down

towards the northern horizon, our next stop is the constellation Cepheus. It’s shaped like a simple house, complete with walls and a sloped roof. Continuing, we soon come upon Cassiopeia. It appears in the form of a great ‘W’ shape. If you shift your binoculars east of the W, you will see the great square of Pegasus with the constellation Andromeda at its top corner. Look for a small, cotton ball puff of white half way up the arm of Andromeda. This white smudge is the galaxy Andromeda, the nearest galaxy to our Milky Way. Just north of Cassiopeia, near the horizon, is the ‘sort of’ cone shape of the constellation Perseus. At the tip of the cone is a wonderful double cluster of stars in Perseus. You can even see them with the unaided eye and are hugely spectacular in binoculars.

Set yourself a challenge this summer. Find yourself a star map and take a trip along the Milky Way trail. There’s so much to see and discover.

Moving from far outer space and back to Earth, have a look at the Moon. Binoculars or a small telescope bring out a great deal of detail on its surface – craters, mountains, valleys and plains. The worst time to observe the Moon is when it is full. The Sun’s light falls from straight overhead and the details that are brought out by shadows are completely washed out. The best time to observe is when the Moon is at its quarter either waxing or waning. This is the best time for shadows. Take a look at the terminator boundary between the light and dark sides. Shadows help lead the eye to complex valleys and mountains and craters and provide contrast to make them more seeable. By the way, the Earth is farthest from the Sun at midsummer.

There is one meteor shower this month – the Southern Delta Aquariids. It has an hourly rate of about 20. It peaks on July 30th and the Moon is a waxing crescent. At our latitude, the radiant is near the star Skat in Aquarius and reaches only 30 degrees above the southern horizon by ily • Applause please! for our very own Jenny's Northern Grill which took first place in the 2022 Reader's Choice Awards in the Our Lake Magazine!!

• COVID update … well, I am on day 5 after having symptoms that began last Wednesday. I had hoped, when the sore throat started, that it would be simply that I was run down after the epic battles, over the previous 6 days, during Pickleball Nationals...that we were all a bit run down, tired, and drained both emotionally and physically....but, that night, when my fever spiked to 102 and a bit....I cringed as the next few days became a blur of death chills, fevered skin that was painful to the touch, aching ears, hot eye balls that could not be soothed, and the reminder every few hours to take some Tylenol and cough syrup, a placebo perhaps as I struggled through long lonely nights. I have cleared my calendar, again, for this week.....rest and recovery are my current priority.

The spectacular planetary show continues this month.

Take a look in the east about 40 minutes before dawn early in the month and from right to left are 7 planets. They are Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, Venus and Mercury. Uranus and Neptune will require a telescope and Mercury is close to the horizon but the other planets provide a nice sight. Mercury is also viewable in the west just after sunset. Here are the monthly highlights.

Kick & Push Brewing Company Open For Business By Jeff Green

T

he beer industry has been ‘brewing’ in Frontenac County for a number of years. But when the Kick and Push Brewing Company opened its taproom on June 29th and served two premise brewed beers, in addition to two beers brewed offsite, it marked the first-time beer that was brewed, kegged, and poured in Frontenac County in recent memory.

The first two batches of beer brewed at the gleaming new brew house and taproom are Bird Dog, a blonde ale, made with all Canadian ingredients, and a Relax Alice, more of a British style Extra Special Bitter with an Amber Ale finish. The other two beers on tap are the Mexican Style Cerveza MX 287, and Humility, a Lagered Ale. Both of them are exlusively Kick and Push beers, but they were brewed under contract at an offsite facility.

A traditional British style IPA, brewed on-site, is slated for release next week.

After a year of renovating, and jumping though planning hoops (the site plan agreement with Central Frontenac came through just hours before opening) as well industry standards, hydro requirements, equipment purchases and testing, co-owner/brew master Daniel Lees, was more than pleased to be able to open the doors and greet the first customers at the start of the Canada Day weekend.

“The response on the weekend was excellent. The community support kept

us busy even though we did not do much promotion before opening last week,” he said on Monday.

For now, the brewery is open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4pm to 8pm, Friday and Saturday from 12noon-8pm, and Sunday from 12noon-6pm.

Kick and Push beer is available on tap for drinking in the tap room and front patio at the site, and to take home in bottles.

There are also snacks available at the taproom.

“We do not have a kitchen, so aside from bar snacks, it is a work in progress, but we are working with Seed to Sausage to develop a snack menu,” said Lees.

Also, because of the taproom license, the only alcoholic beverages that can be sold in the taproom are those that are made on site.

“We may apply for a different license, so we can offer wine or cider from other sources,” said Lees, “and if we do that, we could also offer beer from other breweries on tap. There are styles of beer that we are not likely to brew here, such as a sour beer, that other breweries do really well.

We would like to be able to do provide those options for our customers."

They certainly have the capacity, with ten taps available in the taproom.

But all of this is for the future. For now, brewing beer, staffing the taproom, making sure all the supplies are in stock, getting

Carl Hymander with Kick & Push Brewing Company owners, Laina & Daniel Lees.

the word out about the brewery, landscaping and a host of other tasks are enough to keep him pretty busy for the time being.

One event that is coming up, which will be a perfect fit for the brewery, is running the beer tent at the Caboosefest in early August, the flagship event of the for the Sharbot Lake Railway Heritage Society.

Although the Kick and Push Brewery is the first one in Frontenac County to open its doors, there are three other breweries that have product on the market.

The Harrowsmith Brewing Company has three beers avaialble, Spikes Corners IPA, Level Lager, and Heritage 1909 Wheat Beer. Karbon Brewery, from Wolfe

Island, has Helios Helles Lager, J.E.D.I IPA, One World Wit available.

And the newest brewery on the block.

Aside from the Kick and Push, The Local Brewery, has Hinch 1963, a lager, out now as well.

Karbon uses hops from the Wolfe Island Hop Yard, and Kick and Push is planning to do the same in the near future as well,.

The Frontenac County brewing ecosystem, while still in its infancy, is certainly alive and kicking.
