OVER THE BACK FENCE

Something is stuck in my craw, as my Mom used to say.

So I’m going to get it off my chest.

Thanks for indulging me.

In 2009, the Municipality of Trent Lakes built the Buckhorn Sports Pad, a facility that is, according to its website, “a free year-round hockey rink and sports pad that is run by local volunteers.” It is owned by the municipality on land that is leased from the Buckhorn Community Centre. The original idea was to have an outdoor rink where people could play hockey and skate in the winter and play pick-up basketball in the summer. The cost was $239,000 and the money was raised through community donations and a grant from the Trillium Foundation.

Fast forward a few years, when it was decided that since the winter weather was unpredictable, the Sports Pad needed a roof. Again, a fundraising campaign was undertaken and the project came in at $220,000.

Now, there’s another fundraising effort underway to purchase and install a refrigeration system which, according to the BSP’s Facebook page, is needed due to global warming. Along the way, it seems that Council has done some more research and found that their facility also requires washrooms, exit signage and some other large-ticket items (parking and water are two of those) in order to become what they want it to be. Should all of this not have been considered in the initial planning stages? And would the building code not have required something as simple as signage from the get-go?

Now, they’re also looking at options to build a new facility, just up the road, that will have indoor rinks and meeting rooms for conventions and the like. So what happens to the Sports Pad? I’m all for having facilities for residents and tourists that give them a great experience here in Buckhorn.

And I don’t mind contributing to the cause, if it makes sense. But I fear that the “get it done” attitude outweighed the planning on this one. editor@thepromoter.ca

City Hall BOBCAYGEON BEACH PARK UPDATE

Work continues on the Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment project, scheduled to be completed this summer.

March project updates and activities completed to date include: • Fill export has now been completed.

• The masonry work on the exterior of the building facades and interior masonry walls advanced and is now 90% complete.

Projected activities for April include, but are not limited to: • Continued electrical trenching and site servicing.

• Masonry work for the Washroom and Maintenance Building facades will be finalized.

• Installation of granular material for hardscaping will take place.

SPRING ROAD MAINTENANCE

Kawartha Lakes Public Works staff are engaged with a number of seasonal activities to help maintain roads and keep them safe for drivers and pedestrians.

Spring activities include: • Brushing • Culvert maintenance • Pothole repair (cold and hot patch) • Sweeping • Grading • Dust control • Line painting • Winter control When staff are not in plow trucks doing winter control, they’re trimming back roadside brush and performing culvert maintenance. Street sweeping will begin in the urban areas in the south of the municipality and work north. Hot patch is not yet available from suppliers; potholes are filled with cold mix for now. Grading will begin when gravel roads have had a chance to dry up.

Crews always identify their work areas with signs, pylons and/or barriers. The most important thing you can do as a passing driver, cyclist or pedestrian is to pay attention to the signs. This includes stopping when needed, slowing down and safely going around the working crews.

Tracy Richardson, Deputy Mayor explained, “Council is investing more into our road infrastructure each year, with more than $20 million going to road

reconstruction and lifecycle extension in 2022. We’re doing this so that in future we won’t have to put as much emphasis on repairs.

“We know there are potholes out there. Our Public Works staff are continually patrolling the roads and assessing needs. The timeline for a pothole fix is ranked according to the class of road - main roads first.

It is also based on the width and depth of the pothole. I know it’s frustrating, but this is a fact of life in Canada.

We can’t stop the freezing/thawing and we can’t fix the roads until the weather allows. Thank you for having patience as we get through the messy Spring season.”

To report a pothole or other service request, call our Municipal Call Centre at 705-324-9411 or report online at www.kawarthalakes.ca/reportit.

FIREFIGHTERS DONATE EQUIPMENT

Kawartha Lakes Fire Rescue Service recently donated Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) to Firefighters Without Borders Canada. The donation consisted of approximately 200 sets of breathing apparatus including air cylinders, masks, helmets and accessories.

Firefighters Without Borders Canada is working with Saskatchewan First Nations Emergency Management to distribute these donations and they in turn work with Prince Albert Grand Council and Yorkton Tribal Council to support in excess of 25 First Nations communities throughout Saskatchewan. In the past four years, Firefighters Without Borders Canada have outfitted more than 1,000 First Nations volunteer firefighters and supplied approximately 20 various apparatus and ambulances.

“It’s an honour for Kawartha Lakes Fire Rescue Service to be in a position to help. On behalf of the entire Fire Service, I’d like to thank Council for supporting the purchase of new SCBA for our firefighters. This in turn provided the opportunity to support our counterparts in Saskatchewan through Firefighters Without Borders Canada,” noted Chief Jones.

A big thank you to Carl Eggiman at Firefighters Without Borders Canada, who helped facilitate this donation as well as the costs of transportation to Saskatchewan. To learn more about Firefighters Without Borders Canada please visit their Facebook page at facebook.com/FWBCanada.

BURN BAN IN EFFECT

A burn ban will be in effect throughout the City of Kawartha Lakes for the entire month of April. Residents will be notified when the ban is lifted.

“Each year in April, a burn ban is imposed as part of the open air burning by-law. Even though there may be snow or localized flooding, dry grass and debris catch fire easily and the flames spread quickly,” said Fire Chief Terry Jones. “The April burn ban helps reduce the risk to our residents and firefighters.”

Under section 8.03 of By-Law 2016-110, those setting a fire during a burn ban can be charged under the Provincial Offences Act and will also be responsible for the costs incurred by potential fire suppression

efforts.

The ban does not necessarily apply to those with Agricultural or Special Burn Permits as special conditions already apply to these permits. However, safe practices should be followed at all times for those authorized to burn.

Residents can check the status of the burn ban at the end of April by calling 1-888-822-2225 extension 8 or by visiting the Burn Ban, Permits and By-Laws page on the website.

“The ban may be continued past April if the conditions aren’t suitable for open air burning,” added Jones. “Our first priority is keeping our residents and our environment safe.”

The municipality thanks all residents for their cooperation and assistance during this time.

FEDERAL MONEY FOR TOURISM INDUSTRY

Tourism is essential to the vitality of local businesses and communities across southern Ontario, bringing millions of visitors to the region each year.

Indigenous tourism offers unique opportunities for Indigenous cultural expression and preservation to be shared with visitors from around the world. The Government of Canada is continuing to support the tourism sector as Canada recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuring local tourism businesses have the tools they need to position themselves for a strong and resilient economic future.

The Honourable Helena Jaczek, Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) announced a total investment of $68.5 million through the Tourism Relief Fund for Indigenous Tourism Ontario and 11 Regional Tourism Organizations (RTOs) across southern Ontario. This investment will help tourism businesses and communities safely welcome back visitors, recover from the impacts of the pandemic and prepare for future growth.

With an investment of $3.5 million, Indigenous Tourism Ontario will provide non-repayable contributions of up to $100,000 to Indigenous businesses, not-for-profit organizations, Band Councils, and Indigenous communities to invest in new or enhanced tourism experiences, upgrade tourism assets, and attract domestic and international tourists. ITO will also deliver the Renew Indigenous Tourism program to support Indigenous organizations, businesses, and entrepreneurs as they work to recover from the pandemic. This investment will support up to 40 Indigenous projects to create and maintain up to 100 jobs.

As part of this investment, 11 RTOs across southern Ontario will also receive a combined investment of $65 million to distribute funding through nonrepayable contributions of up to $100,000 to southern Ontario tourism-oriented businesses and organizations to innovate and invest in new and enhanced tourism experiences to attract visitors from within Canada and around the world. This investment will support up to 1,300 tourism entities and create or maintain up to

4,100 jobs.

In total, this overall investment will support 1,340 tourism entities and create and maintain 4,200 jobs.

More information on how to apply for support will be available on the ITO and eligible RTO’s websites shortly.

WELL WATER TESTING IS BACK

Peterborough Public Health (PPH) and the Municipality of Trent Lakes have made it easier for county residents to have their well water tested by offering free well water sample drop offs from spring to fall. This well water testing service is available at no charge to all permanent and seasonal residents in the Municipality of Trent Lakes through a program with PPH. Water samples can be dropped off at the Administrative Office located at 760 County Road 36 in the upper floor main entrance lobby – just in time for the change in season and the return of seasonal residents.

“With the snow melt and spring runoff, this is a good time of year to test your water as there is a higher risk of contamination,” said Chris Eaton, Public Health Inspector. “This is relevant to both drilled and dug wells, but is especially important for dug wells, as they are shallower and more susceptible to contamination.

Well water samples are tested for two types of bacterial contamination: total coliforms and E. coli.

Total coliforms indicate the presence of general contamination such as surface runoff. E. coli indicates the water has been contaminated with fecal material which may contain disease-causing microorganisms.

Anyone can become ill if they consume contaminated water, but the young, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals are at a higher risk.

KLFS RELEASES GIVING GUIDES

Making a difference in your community is about to get a whole lot easier.

KLFS is the largest non-profit food distribution organization in the City of Kawartha Lakes. In addition to supplying local food banks, the organization offers a slate of food security programs including the Lindsay Community Food Market, the Family Cooking Project, and Open Gardens. KLFS runs on the generosity of the community.

Throughout the City of Kawartha Lakes, from Omemee to Kinmount and everywhere in between, local individuals and organizations step up to support KLFS by hosting food drives, collecting donations, and putting on fundraising events. The “Giving Guides” will help individuals, groups, and corporations decide what kind of contribution makes the most sense and guide them through the process.

The Community Events Guide explains how to lead an event with tips, materials, templates, and promotion examples. From a community barbeque to an office food drive, KLFS is there to support community members wanting to put on a fun and successful event.

In the Individual Giving Guide, individuals learn about the benefits of memorial donations, donoradvised funds, and estate giving, among other options.

The Corporate Giving Guide is an overview of the various ways KLFS can help organizations meet their business goals. The guide explains the process of becoming a retail partner for our social enterprise salsa, becoming a signature event sponsor, and organizing a business fundraiser or payroll giving program.

“Hello/welcome City of Kawartha Lakes, Lindsay, Haliburton and surrounding community. You have no idea how grateful we are to be here with you tonight.

We have missed you. Your support means so much to us.

As with each of you, Covid has been challenging for all of us at WR. For the past two years, we have not been able to have our regular fundraising event. Our gently used clothing store, Vicky’s Values, was closed off for more than 3 months and has been working with reduced hours, resulting in a significant loss in fundraising revenue to support our services.

But even more devastating was the Shadow Pandemic of Covid, the isolation of Covid kept many women trapped at home, unable to call for help or leave and get to the safety of a shelter. We saw some of the worse cases of physical abuse than we have even seen as women were forced to stay in dangerous situations where home was not a safe haven from Covid or from anything else.

Due to health regulations, we had to decrease our shelter capacity from 20 to 10 beds and get very creative at finding safe alternatives for women while they were awaiting Covid testing, going through isolation and awaiting beds.

We are hoping tonight will mark a turnaround for us and for the women we work with. We need the support of our community now more than ever and we thank you so much for your patience waiting for this

The good news is ... given the state of the pandemic right now, they are intending to reopen to the public on May 6.

As the sisters attempt to cajole Mom out of her house and into a home, they fight, bond, laugh, reminisce, and argue over who inherits the green glass. Little do they know that a high school crush will make an appearance and long buried family secrets are about to change all their lives forever.

Leisa Way and her Wayward Wind Band star in Rock n’ Roll is Here to Stay – July 5 to 16 This is a musical journey through the history of Rock ‘n Roll featuring audience favourite Leisa Way. And this time she’s keeping the classic rock flame burning in a high-energy, captivating show with songs from the hottest Rock n Roll stars and bands in music history.

As Leisa and her phenomenal musicians take us on a magical mystery tour of 40 years of rock’s greatest hits, poodle skirts and page boys gave way to miniskirts and go-go boots.

The Three Musketeers - by John Nicholson & Le Navet Bete – July 20 to 30 This riotous adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ classic novel is a funny, high-energy romp full of swashbuckling and rollicking adventure. Join the young and naive D’Artagnan as he sets out for Paris, armed only with a baguette and his loyal but problematic steed, on a quest to become a King’s musketeer, After discovering that the musketeers have been disbanded, he makes it his mission to get them reinstated. But an encounter with the dangerous femme fatale, Milady de Winter may prove to be his downfall.

The Great 44th Fowler’s Falls Fall Fair Disaster – by Sarah Quick – August 3 to 13 The fall fair is an annual highlight for the residents of tiny Fowler’s Falls, and it is abound with traditions.

But an influx of new residents in town threatens to throw things into disarray.

The talent show is thrust into turmoil, the Harvest Queen pageant is a fashion disaster, the homecraft committee suspect sabotage and the rooster crowing competition crown holder looks to be the victim of fowl play.

Stakes are high, the competition is fierce, and it looks like someone would kill to be the winner.

Screwball Comedy – by Norm Foster – August 17 to 27 This is a great new Canadian comedy from audience favourite Norm Foster.

The year is 1938 and newly laid-off perfumier Mary Hayes is trying to break into the male dominated world of newspaper journalism. Editor-in-Chief Bosco Godfrey sets a competition between his egotistical star reporter Jeff Kincaid and plucky Mary, assigning them to cover a society wedding. If Jeff writes the better story, he gets to keep his job. If Mary wins, she will replace the ace newshound.

Artistic Producer, James Barret says, “We are thrilled to be able to announce a season that has us returning to the Lakeview Arts Barn stage at full force.

Over the last two years we have developed an even stronger relationship with our audience and had an 12

LOCAL AGRICULTURE AWARDS

Hard-working farmers joined local business leaders for the Kawartha Lakes Spotlight on Agriculture Gala and Awards event recently held at the LEX Grounds.

The Farm Family Award was given to The deVos Family (pictured), Simcoe Street Meat Packers received the Excellence in Agriculture Award, The Batty Family was recognized for 150 and 200 years farming with the Milestone Recognition Program and Allison Brown was the recipient of the Agriculture Leadership Scholarship.

The deVos family have farmed northeast of Manilla in Kawartha Lakes since the mid-1950’s as an ever growing dairy and cash crop farm now encompassing 1,200 acres of corn, wheat, beans, and forages, plus 165 Holstein cows. With over 10 family households within a 2km radius of the home farm, there are upwards of 20 family members who are active in the farming operation when called upon. While Jack and Erkie deVos started the farm with their family of six boys, son number four, John and his wife Fern deVos

currently lead the family farm business. Their operation also includes a 30 cow beef herd and some chickens, and most recently expanded to open Vosbrae Dairy, an on-farm cow, goat, and sheep milk cheese processing plant. The farm is well known to many as they often host public events at the farm such at the Twilight Meeting, forage days, barn open houses, and Kawartha Farmfest.

Their claim to success comes from working very well together, which comes from regular farm ‘meetings’ for coffee at 10am and 3pm daily, all under the watchful

eye of Opa Jack, who visits about 47 times a day!

Simcoe Street Meats Packers is a provincially inspected abattoir located just north of Manilla, Ontario in the City of Kawartha Lakes. Purchased by his father in 2003, Wahab Zamani has since taken over the operations. Simcoe Street provides custom slaughter and processing of beef, veal, and lamb as well as purchasing directly from local farms to supply a number of independent butchers as well as their own two retail outlets in North York and Newmarket, with local product. Simcoe Street Meat Packers are also partners in the ownership of Farmers Butcher Shop in Lindsay with Matt Devries, which they opened to complete the full local supply loop within the community. Wahab points to a key aspect of his success in that he has about 20 local farmers on speed-dial on his phone, whom he can call up to arrange for purchase of product. They have built these relationships over the years. The farmers know what he is looking for, and he knows where to get the right animals to meet a variety of different markets, each with their own preferences. Their slogan is reflected in the comments from their customers. They can “Trust the Processing”; they know it’s done locally and with knowledge of where the meats came from. Wahab appreciates that people are looking to support local, and he can directly provide that local product.

of age or older. Eligibility will be based on birth year.

You can book an appointment for a date that is 140 days (five months) after a third dose (booster dose) of the COVID-19 vaccine was received: As this expanded eligibility allows for an additional 35,000 eligible residents to receive another dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, our local health units are asking all residents to book a COVID-19 vaccine appointment for any dose they receive starting Friday, April 8.

Peterborough Public Health and the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit have suspended walk-in availability at COVID-19 vaccine clinics and are asking everyone to book an appointment.

Individuals who have an immunocompromising health condition or who are on an immunocompromising medication and are 18 years of age or older are still eligible for a fourth dose. These individuals are required to show proof of eligibility at their COVID-19 vaccine appointment. A referral form from a health care provider or proof of prescription medication will be accepted as proof of eligibility.

“Indicators across the province and in Peterborough region continue to show increasing transmission of COVID-19 and our COVID-19 Community Risk Index is currently HIGH risk,” said Dr. Thomas Piggott, Medical Officer of Health, Peterborough Public Health.

“The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recognizes that the high level of transmission increases the risk for moderate to severe symptoms related to a COVID-19 infection for eligible residents.

We are strongly encouraging all eligible residents to book an appointment for all doses they are eligible for at the earliest date to protect themselves during the 6th wave.”

Vaccination is the most important tool in a multilayer prevention against COVID-19. Other preventions include continuing to wear a tightly fitting (KN95/ N95 style) mask, staying home when sick and seeking testing/treatment as eligible, improving the ventilation of our indoor air spaces and spending time outdoors.

Appointments can be booked through the provincial vaccine booking system over the phone by calling 1-833-943-3900 or online at https://covid19. ontariohealth.ca/.

Horoscopes

April 8 to 21

By Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Mother Nature is calling you, Aquarius! Are you answering? There is so much to see and do outdoors right now. Get a move on! Take in the wonder!

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) It’s time to talk to a trusted friend, Leo. There’s no need to bear a burden by yourself. You can also go the route of professional aid if need be. Don’t hesitate.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Feel the feelings, Pisces!

Let your senses envelope you. Don’t shy away – it is good to be able to accept ALL your feelings, name them, and work with them.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) You may experience a mix of emotions soon, Virgo, over something that is beyond your control. Keep an open mind and try to stay calm – everything will right itself eventually.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) “At the end of the day, give up your worries and give thanks for the journey.”: Ben Vereen. Rest easy, Aries! As you fall asleep remember the good parts of your day and cast off your troubles.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Be careful with your heart – and to whom you give it. Don’t rush into anything, Libra. You will know soon enough if this is what you really want.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Chunk it. When things get out of hand and you feel overwhelmed by ordinary tasks that need to be done, dear Taurus, take things one at a time. Break the job down into doable blocks and take it from there.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) We sense you may be experiencing some low times, dear Scorpio. Please remember they will always come, but they will also go. The sun always rises.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Change is an ever constant in our lives, Gemini. It can be heartbreaking or it can be welcomed with open arms. So many times our reaction depends on whether we can accept it and adapt. Sometimes it’s much harder than that!

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Mind your words, Cancer, during the coming days. You don’t want them to come back to haunt you – and once spoken, they can never be taken back.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) “Every day in every way I am getting better and better”: Emile Coue. Sag, this is a mantra or affirmation, just for you during this phase. It tells us your life is getting better; it will continue to do so; and they are happening throughout your life. Say this every day whenever you need to!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan 20) You are needed, Capricorn. You are generous in spirit and in practice.

But what is the cost? With all you do, you MUST remember to look after yourself. If not, what good can you be to those who count on you?

AVIAN FLU FOUND IN PETERBOROUGH COUNTY

Peterborough Public Health (PPH) is currently investigating a confirmed report of avian influenza (H5N1) discovered in a local flock located in Selwyn Township. This is the fifth confirmed report of avian influenza on an Ontario farm over the past few weeks.

“The risk to human health remains low and we are not aware of any local human cases at this time,” said Dr. Thomas Piggott, Medical Officer of Health.

“The virus does not easily cross from birds to humans, and the current strain is listed as being of ‘lower than normal’ concern for spreading to humans.”

Dr. Piggott stated PPH is working closely with provincial and federal partners, including the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) on the investigation.

In March 2022, HPAI H5N1 virus was detected in

Deadline for next issue Tuesday, April 19, 2022 Call 705-738-6188 ads@thepromoter.ca

Ontario in wild and commercial poultry. Its spread has been primarily attributed to the migration of infected waterfowl.

Avian influenza is a viral disease that affects mostly domestic poultry and wild birds such as geese, ducks, and shore birds. Wild birds, especially waterfowl, are a natural reservoir for mild strains of avian influenza.

The highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) strain H5N1 is known to kill both wild birds and commercial poultry.

Residents should not touch a wild bird, including waterfowl, that is sick, injured or dead. Report any sick or dead birds (including waterfowl), to the Ontario Regional Centre of the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative at (866) 673-4781.

ONTARIO INVESTS IN AG SOCIETIES

The Ontario government is providing more than $38,000 to support the agricultural and horticultural societies in Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock through the Agricultural and Horticultural Support and Recovery Funding Initiative. This investment will help our local organizations continue to operate and support their important efforts to educate people about the value and significance of agriculture in the province.

This new funding builds on previous investments of more than $7 million to assist agricultural and

horticultural societies across the province over the past two years.

“We know the pandemic has been tough on our local agricultural and horticultural societies with many annual events being cancelled or postponed,” said Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton-Kawartha LakesBrock. “This funding will help provide additional support for these organizations so we can get back to enjoying the community events and activities we all miss.”

There are two streams included in this round of funding: • Base Support Funding will be issued to all eligible Agricultural and Horticultural Societies through funding payments of $1,000 as a means of supporting their continued incorporation and activities.

• Hardship Funding for eligible Agricultural Societies will provide additional support which will be based on reported gate revenues from 2019. This will help off-set operating losses, liabilities, and fixed overhead costs related to land and buildings.

“Ontario’s agricultural and horticultural societies have long-enriched communities throughout the province and we look forward to them continuing to make significant contributions, from main street beautification projects to hosting the long-standing tradition of agricultural fairs, throughout the province in 2022,” said Lisa Thompson, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
