Is there a defining issue in the municipal election in your township?Probably not, but each township in the Frontenac News readership area is in a somewhat different place, and this might make a difference for voters in the various districts.Byway of preview, we look at each township and at the ward/district contests.

his past weekend there were, yet again, dozens of choices of events and gatherings to choose from. Some residents opted to head out and find local fresh produce in Harrowsmith at Centennial Park. Others may have been planning their Christmas shopping well in advance and headed over to Ken Garrett Park in Inverary. And there as Open Farms, Home grown Frontenac and the Plowing Match, to boot.
Ken Garrett park was the host to 140 vendors on Saturday, who laid out their wares for all to enjoy. Some of the booths had custom wood carvings, yummy butter tarts, and twisted metal that was formed into beautiful works of art (Dan’s Metal Art -Sydenham Ontario 613-484-1959).

With an eclectic variety of vendors there was everything from birdhouses and artisan soaps to fresh bread and mi crogreens, and of course lots of cheesecake. An abundance of entertainment by Kingston Circus Arts and kids activities, including paint and pumpkins, kept even the littlest attendees busy and made it an event enjoyable for the whole family. Spearhead Beer, Haymakers Coffee and HvO Spring Wa ter Vodka provided beverages onsite while customers took advantage of the opportunity to chat and connect with the people that grow food and create locally.

With the recent increase in interest for locally grown foods and sustainably sourced items, it is nice to have so many lo cal options for everything from soaps, baked goods, cleaning supplies and crafts.
The combination of having farmers, like The Rise Farm and Loughborough lavender, alongside local businesses like Deep Rooted Massage and Old County Bath & Body has resulted an event that showcases the diversity of what is available locally and has created a community of support that is sure to only grow stronger and remain Homegrown in

This park is maintained by vol unteers and they recently completed a large bathroom up grade and installation of a children’s play structure. The park easily accommodated both the vehicle and pedestrian traffic and the weather was sunny and warm to keep the crowds coming well into the afternoon. Shoppers of all ages roamed the vendor village and grabbed a quick snack from the can teen. This location has a lovely large gazebo that provided a great place to sit and have a quick bite between shops and chats.Asyou roamed through the well spaced venue the tent vil lage was alive with conversations and each booth had some thing creative to offer.

The Queen & The Monarchy; What Have We Lost?
rief over the loss of a person is a com plicated affair.
What we have lost is a solitary figure who, despite the trappings and affec tations that came with the position, re solved themselves to live a life of ser vice – to console, to encourage and to inspire. Seven decades that began with a solemn vow to place personal duty above the self ended just two days after carrying out a duty invested in a head of Instate.2019 I sat in Westminster Abbey during the Commonwealth Day Service. Several rows in front, I could see the top of that familiar head, adorned with a hat.lavenderbeautifulThe
There are times when that sense of loss is felt beyond a home, a family, or a small close-knit group of people. Most times, communal loss is commensurate with tragedy and the feeling of sense lessness that comes with it. But rarest of all are those times of communal loss that are not accompanied by feelings of anger or agenda. It is the simple knowl edge that what was once familiar will now be absent.
[Brent Cameron is the author of ‘The Case for Commonwealth Free Trade” and serves as a government advisor to CAN ZUK International. He had the privilege of attending the annual Commonwealth Day Service in held Westminster Abbey in 2019.]
The death of Her Majesty Queen Eliz abeth II is one such moment.
pomp and ceremony that you get on television was dialed up to 11. Beside me was a woman from Rwanda, repre senting a charity that had Royal patron age and support. Before the ceremony we talked about this unique moment we found ourselves in. Despite the distance between Kigali and Godfrey, Ontario we spoke warmly as friends, sharing the same emotions, feeling the same privi lege – that of being part of something much bigger than ourselves.

On the surface, we commemorate the passing of an individual from this world. That loss is, in and of itself, important – whether it be the loss of a family mem ber, a friend, or a prominent member of a community.Butgrief,and the processes around it, are as much about us as they are about the person we lose. We grieve what we no longer have. Flesh and bone are lost to the world only once. It’s the echo in our memory that we mourn.
We don’t mourn the loss of an institu tion. It carries on as it always has. Nor do we mourn the loss of who we are as people, or a society, for that has not changed either.
It is the fear of losing that feeling that we mourn as much as the person, be cause in the end we don’t really crave attention or titles – we crave meaning. For someone like The Queen, who had all the trappings, it was the pursuit of that meaning, through service and duty, that defined her life. She made a storied and formidable 1,000-year-old institution as personal and immediate as a kind word, a thoughtful gesture and a sympathetic ear. Deep down, we know just how re markable a feat that is.
The very last public comment offered in her unparalleled tenure was a heart felt message of sympathy and support for the victims of the brutal attacks at the James Smith Cree Nation in Sas katchewan, sharing in the mourning of the community and standing in solidarity with them in a time of great tragedy and trial. It was in situations such as these where she shone brightest, and that may be the only way to remember her –placing yourself in service to something larger than Requiescatyourself.inpace.
I always read your thoughtful, well writ ten editorials. However, the editorial about changing not only the spelling of Mathew Street but honouring another Matthew up set me. It is not that I wish to ignore the accomplishments of Matthew Fraser but there is a better, less controversial way of acknowledging him. How about a plaque in the park like the one for Simon Whit field? There is enough divisiveness over Mathew Street now. We do not need an other issue to divide us.
The Sharbot Lake Country Inn & The Crossing Pubs original structure was built in 1906 by Dr. H. Coutlee, who graduated from Queens University in 1882 as a Doc tor of Medicine and Master of Surgery. Dr. Coutlee’s plans were to establish his first medical office in Sharbot Lake and open a medical center and clinic with a few beds for short stays. Unfortunately, due to his untimely death, his plan never material ized and he left the building to Dan and Diana Buchanan, his manager andhouse keeper. The Buchanan’s later decided to convert the building into a bed and break fast, and named it The Hillcrest Inn.
Fritsch said he believed most people had completed cleanup but Reeve Hen ry Hogg said he’d received a request to extend the deadline for no fees for de bris related to the May 21 windstorm and derecho

I am glad to see articles about the his tory of our area as our history is one of our strengths. So much of our history has been lost already. So, in reference to the article on the “Murder”, I feel obliged to correct at least one inaccuracy. The Sharbot Lake Country was not the site of Mrs. Garrett’s boarding house. Her building was on Med ical Centre Road as one of many buildings of the original village on either side of the railroad tracks.

I read your article and thought I should point out that the books location of the murder was incorrect. A few clients had made reference to the location of the mur der but the time lines didn't match up so we did some investigating a few years back. Matthew Garrett was murdered on November 18, 1876 but the Inn was built by Dr Coutlee around 1906, 30 years after the murder. He intended to open a medi cal clinic but died before it opened. Some how the Inn became the location that was thought to be the crime scene but that is not true. There were a few other board ing houses in Sharbot Lake around that time, I believe the original Sharbot Lake Hotel where this murder took place burnt down in the 1970s.

She came to my desk and showed me the invitation and the accompanying sheet of paper with her list of suitable wardrobe. She had been looking everywhere in Kingston for her dress, gloves, shoes with no toes showing, and her hat. She asked for my help.
In a few minutes I was on the phone to Elda, my friend and owner of Glynelda’s in Verona and explained to her what was needed. The next day I took Doris to Ve rona and got her a very suitable dress, be low the knees, and long sleeves. Elda told us to go to this hat shop on Brock Street, take the dress and have the seamstress and the owner serve us. We arrived and a hat and matching pair of gloves were im mediately shown to us. Doris was happy.

A padded back: This protects from oddly shaped objects in the bag. Compartments: Like a waist strap, compartments distribute weight more evenly.
While more research is needed, studies show that the incorrect use of school bags may lead to discomfort and changes in posture. It’s important to note that wearing a backpack does not in and of itself lead to back pain. “If a backpack has a reasonable amount of weight in it and fits correctly, children are not wearing it long enough for long-term damage to occur,” says Michael Holmes, Canada Research Chair in Neuromuscular Mechanics and Ergonomics.* choosing the right backpack- Here are some items to look for when considering a new backpack:

A recent study found that students were carrying up to 25 pounds of weight in their backpacks. This is significant because research suggests that backpacks should be no more than 10% of the wearer’s body weight. If a 17-year-old student, for example, weighs an average of 130 pounds, their backpack should only weigh 13 pounds.

Claire Dodds, Director of Development Services, and Chief Building Inspector Tom Berriault presented a ninepage report. One point they made was that, unlike many other municipalities, South Frontenac did not turn incom plete applications away, but worked with the applicant by providing them within two days with a written list of infor mation that they were missing, and helping them address this. Only when the application is fully complete does the ‘clock start ticking.’ Dodds noted that having a zoning compliance officer on staff would be a big help, for that person could help inform the applicants who are unfamil iar with parts of the application process. Mayor Vandewal said “In all fairness, we didn’t know that.”

disposition to do so. Additionally, the By-law would define a muzzle as a humane fastening or covering device over the mouth of a dog that is of adequate strength to prevent it from Councillorbiting. Morey noted that Ontario Sheep Farmers have expressed concerns that this could target herding and guarding dogs: Staff agreed to add a note saying an amendment concerning these dogs would be brought to Council at a later date. The muzzle order was passed.
Mayor Vandewal thanked Dodds and Berriault for a de tailed, comprehensive report that “explained a lot.” Council then moved into closed session. ■

Revill asked whether, in the case of a short-term rental, the property owner would be the one fined, and Deputy Clerk James Thompson said yes, that the property owner would be responsible for the conduct of his guests, and this meant that any unpaid fines could be attached to the tax roll.
the August 9th, 2022 meeting of Council, several Councillors expressed concerns about the timelines as sociated with Building Services processing building per mit applications. Council provided direction to the CAO and the Director of Development Services to bring back a report and schedule a special meeting to discuss why building permits are taking so long to issue.
South Frontenac Council - Sep. 6/22
Having previously approved a by-law to address viola tions related to trailer licensing and safe property bylaws under the Administrative Monetary Penalties (AMPs), Council has agreed to include enforcement of the noise by-law as well. The proposed range of fines will be be tween $100 and $400 for a long list of offenses, includ ing squealing tires, defective muffler, ‘the operation of a motor vehicle resulting in banging, clanking, squealing or other like sounds.” Around this point, Mayor Vandewal spoke up: “A disclaimer: as a youth, I was charged for all of these offences, but it was the Police who charged me, not the by-law officer.” There was general agreement that the bylaw was in need of review to make it a bit more re alistic and enforceable, and this will be done later.
The statistics and comparisons with similar municipali ties clearly indicate that South Frontenac is consistently processing more applications, while meeting the recom mended (but not legislated) timelines. Also, the numbers of applications have surged during Covid; it was impossible to foresee the huge increase in Part 8 (septic applications) throughout all municipalities in the past two years.
New Furniture for Council Chambers
Building Services Review of Timeframes to Issue Per mitsAt
Mayor Vandewal opened the meeting by recogniz ing Claire Dodds for her work with planning and development: “When you arrived, we had a couple of challenging projects on the books, and you helped work them through.” (The development at Johnson’s Point is currently beginning to fill out, with each property subject to a long and detailed list of site-specific requirements drawn up by the Planning Department and approved by Council.) “Thank you, and we wish you all the best.”
Council approved three Community grants: to Frontenac Plowmans Association (for plowing match), Perth Road School (Furnace replacement) and Loughborough Pub lic School (operation of expanded food prep programs). Councillor Sleeth questioned the Perth Road School fur nace replacement, until it was clarified that this was ac tually the former school building, now being used as a public community hall.
A staff report asked Council’s support for an increase in the budget allocation for Council Chamber furniture from $15,000 to $25,000, and approval to fund both the original budgeted expense along with the requested ad ditional funds totalling $25,000 from the COVID-19 Safe Restart Reserve. The proposed furniture upgrades reflect the growing use of Council Chambers as an alternative meeting space and would offer greater flexibility in table configuration in Council Chambers for Council and staff attending meetings and also provide space for public inperson access to meetings. With the exception of perma nent workspaces at the front of the room to provide seat ing for the Mayor, CAO, Clerk and Deputy Clerk, all the remaining chairs and (much smaller) tables will be fully flexible: easy to move, or fold and stack away. There was some concern because the drawings did not show much space for public seating, but Fragnito said the accompa nying sketches were not to scale, and the new furniture was intended to create more public space than is avail able with the current arrangement.
Planner Anna Geladi presented a draft of the proposed Heritage Grant Program for Council’s consideration and approval.TheHeritage Grant Program is intended to assist own ers of designated heritage properties under the Ontario Heritage Act with the maintenance, conservation, resto ration, and care of heritage properties, on a cost sharing basis. The goal of the program, developed and admin istered by the Township’s Heritage Committee, is to en courage heritage designation of buildings, and recognize and promote the cultural heritage of the Township. The grant program would be administered in a system simi lar to the Lake Ecosystem Grants and the Private Lane Assistance Grants. In 2022, $15,000 was allocated by Council to fund this program. An accompanying 18-page policy outlines the program benefits and application/ap proval process in detail.

Mayor Vandewal said he remembered that once Coun cil had helped one school to buy playground equipment, it opened the floodgates and all the Township schools asked for similar funding: “I don’t like going down that road.” Councillor Sutherland said he felt the main prob lem was the Province’s lack of support to the schools for programs having to do with lunches and recreation.

All of the current members of North Frontenac Council are running again, so things may look very familiar when the new council is sworn in come late November, save for a new member of council to replace Fred Perry, who's posi tion was left vacant after he died over the summer. Unlike in 2018, when all of the candidates were acclaimed, there are contest in all three wards, so change could be coming.

Central Frontenac is the only township in Frontenac Coun ty with any real financial issues. The township maintains sol id reserve funds, but has reached the upper reaches of its borrowing capacity and already has the highest tax rate in the county, so financially issues are always of concern. For example, Central Frontenac has the least advantageous ratio of property assessment to kilometres of roadway in Frontenac County, and roads are the most expensive piece of municipal infrastructure.
In District 2 (Olden) there will also be at least one new council member. Philip Smith, who was appointed to coun cil following the death of Elwyn Burke, is running, but in Hinchinbrooke, leaving Victor Heese as the only incumbent in Olden.

The play that has been chosen for this first production is called “The Red Lamp”. What is remarkable about this play is the fact that it was the first play performed 100 years ago at the newly constructed Soldier’s Memorial Hall in 1922. A review of the play appeared in the Ottawa Citizen. The NFLT Executive decided that it would be a great idea to revisit “The Red Lamp” 100 years later.

South Frontenac staff envision that “the next step in the process is for a committee to be formed that would include both county and other Frontenac municipalities, who sup ported the business case, to work on drafting agreements and documents in relation to the creation of the Municipal Service Corporation for the governance of communal services.
Joe Gallivan, Director of Development Services for Frontenac County, was pleased to hear that his years long effort to create fa vourable conditions for residential and com mercial developments with communal water and sewage systems, is close to being set to progress to the implementation stage.
A staff report to council pointed out that “the only municipal contribution to the fund, will be start-up funding” and that “no further funding will be raised by taxation” for operations.

The proposed changes will result in an amendment to By-law 2011- 52 rather than a new comprehensive zoning by-law. Since the by-law amendment affects all properties in the Township, a key map is not provided.
iF a PErSoN or PUBliC BodY would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Council to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Central Frontenac before the proposed zoning by-law amendment is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

tHE PUrPoSE of the public meeting is to present the proposed changes to the Township’s comprehensive Zoning By-law #2011-52 and to receive comments from the public. The proposed changes to By-law #2011-52 result from a review and updating of the by-law and written and oral submissions received from the public during the course of the recent open houses and the public consultation process. Proposed changes include but are not limited to: expanding the scope of permitted home-based businesses; permitting live/work units; regulating food vehicles; providing for additional residential units; permitting tiny houses; providing for storage containers and recreational vehicles; providing for the keeping of domestic livestock for local food production, and providing for the installation of alternative energy sources and systems (i.e., solar collectors, wind turbines, geothermal systems and electric vehicles recharge stations). The review also provides an opportunity to modernize the by-law with the addition of new definitions and uses such as cannabis, community gardens, private home day care, dog park, fitness centre, pet grooming establishment etc. The review includes revamping and replacing the five zoning schedules, and also reflects changes in the Planning Act procedures and the names of government organizations. Changes to the zone categories are confined to expanding the number of Environmental Protection Zones to better reflect land uses and natural environmental features. A number of new permitted uses to several zones is proposed. Some changes to the zone standards for lot areas are proposed to comply with the official plan. New standards are proposed for development on narrow water channels and for lot coverage.
iF a PErSoN or PUBliC BodY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Central Frontenac before the proposed zoning by-law amendment is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.
