OVER THE BACK FENCE

As we start to adjust to our “new normal” in a Coronavirus world, the idea that physical distancing will be in place for months to come gives me the willies.

As a single person, my exposure to others before the pandemic was focused on dinner theatre at the Buckhorn Community Centre. I lived for rehearsals and definitely performances. The BCC was my hangout space almost daily, stopping in to see friends and volunteering for fundraising events there.

Since “the Covid,” all events at the BCC were put on hold until 2021. For a facility like the BCC, as I’m sure is the case with many other community and rec centres, the loss of income from regular activities and special fundraising events has been devastating.

The cancellation of the Buckhorn Art

BUILD YOUR TRUST AROUND US.

Festival, an institution in our hamlet for more than 40 years as well as two popular craft shows, spring and fall dinner theatre and ongoing activities including a summer Kid’s art camp, seniors’ club meetings and special event bookings has meant the fundraising committee at the BCC has had to get creative to ensure the safe operation of the centre.

One of these brainwaves are the Bargain Barns. Five pavilions in the park are open at the BCC until the middle of September on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10am to 2pm. Using donations of all sorts of really good “new-to-you” treasures, the BCC hopes to earn some much-needed cash and you can find some really good stuff.

We’re trying to figure out how to do live theatre that will make it financially feasible and safe for guests. Our Hall’s Bridge Players are up for the task ... we just need to do it right. So stay tuned.

In the meantime, be kind to one another out there. As I’ve said before, we may be tired of this virus ... but it isn’t! Stay safe!

Why place the comfort of your home and family in our hands? We know that building your trust doesn’t come from offering bargain basement prices, flashy promotions, or other fun and games. It comes from being there for you, friendly and professional, every day. editor@thepromoter.ca

LOCAL ECONOMIC RECOVERY GETS PROVINCIAL BOOST

Recently, the Ontario government pledged $4 billion to municipalities to provide the support and flexibility they need to protect the health and wellbeing of their communities, while continuing to deliver critical public services as the province continues on the path of renewal, growth and economic recovery Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock MPP, Laurie Scott announced $8 million will go to communities here at home, including just under $5 million for the City of Kawartha Lakes.

“This is new money for our communities that will provide municipalities with the support they need to protect the health and well-being of Ontario residents,” she said. “This assistance will continue to deliver needed public services as the province continues down the path of renewal, growth and economic recovery.”

Communities in Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock will receive funding to address municipal operating pressures related to the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the first round of emergency funding under the Safe Restart Agreement.

In September, Ontario’s 444 municipalities will receive $695 million in Phase 1 funding for municipal operating pressures. This funding will be allocated on a per household basis and would be shared 50/50 between upper- and lower-tier municipalities.

Up to $695 million in additional funding will be available through Phase 2 for municipalities that have COVID-related financial impacts that exceed the initial per household allocation provided under Phase 1. Phase 2 funding will be application based.

BACK TO SCHOOL UPDATE

While final plans are still being developed about the timing for the start of the school year, on August 11, Wes Hahn, the new Director of Education for Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) posted a note to families about the re-opening of schools in a few weeks. In the note, Mr. Hahn outlined some of the changes to the way children will be going to school to ensure their safety.

There will be scheduled enhanced cleaning in classrooms and in all high-touch areas in the school several times throughout the day, and a deep cleaning once students leave the school at the end of the day and first thing in the morning.

Your child will be cohorted within their classroom and contact with others outside their cohort will be

limited.

Anything your child or any staff member brings to school will be taken home at the end of the day.

Desks will be in old-fashioned rows and teachers will remain, where possible, at the front of the classroom.

Your Grade 4 to Grade 12 child will be wearing a mask that you provide from home. We will also have masks available at the school. They will wear this mask throughout the day unless they are eating, or are outside and can safely physically distance.

Kindergarten to Grade 3 children are encouraged to wear a mask.

Grade 4 to 12 students must wear a mask while travelling to and from school on a school bus.

Kindergarten to Grade 3 students will be encouraged to wear a mask on the bus.

Teachers will be providing clear instructions and reminders for lunchtime and washroom breaks, for mask wearing, hand hygiene, and safe cough/sneeze practices.

There will be arrows and signs throughout the school providing clear directions to students.

Only essential visitors will be permitted to enter the school. Parents will not be allowed in the school unless it is an emergency.

All teachers will be wearing masks. Students may see some staff members wearing full PPE, including a gown, gloves, face shields,and masks. These are staff members who work with students with special needs who may require closer contact than other students.

Almost all subjects will be taught in elementary and secondary school classrooms, with a few exceptions. In elementary schools, teachers other than the classroom teacher may come into the classroom to teach a particular subject (e.g. French). Secondary students will have up to two classes each day, so will be in up to two cohorts.

There will be instructions provided for what to do if your child is sick or becomes ill while at school.

Parents must complete a symptoms checklist for each child at home prior to attending school each day to determine that they are symptom-free.

Mr. Hahn went on to say, “Many families want to know if they can change their mind about their choice for in-school or at-home learning. Once your choice about in-school or at-home learning has been made, this will remain the program for your child until late October. We cannot make changes prior to this because any change means alterations to classroom cohorts and to bussing route schedules. This decision has been made in the best interest of safety of our students and our staff.”

He continued, “For those who plan on choosing at-home remote learning, please be prepared for a different experience than in the spring. All students, in-school or at-home, must complete 300 minutes a day of learning. At-home, some of this time will be synchronous learning with a teacher providing instruction, and some will be independent learning throughout the day. Families will have the opportunity to connect with at-home remote learning teachers.”

CAMPERS RAISE OVER $20,000

The Coboconk, Norland & Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce that the Camping for a Cause: Go Wild for the Wellness Centre fundraiser exceeded all expectations.

The fundraising campaign brought out 10 campers from the community to raise awareness for the new Wellness Centre and raise funds to help make the project a reality. The campers exceeded their goal of $10,000 and ended up with a total of over $24,000.

After four weeks of fundraising, the brave campers spent a night in the great outdoors on Saturday. With every donation checkpoint the participant met, a luxury item on their camping list was added or removed, leaving the fate of their camping trip entirely in the hands of the donors.

Hayley Phoenix-Winterburn, staff member of the Coboconk, Norland & Area Chamber of Commerce, participated in the camp out and says, “It is amazing to see what can be accomplished when our communities come together. We are so thankful to every camper who joined in the challenge, to every sponsor who generously donated to the Wellness Centre, and to every person who has supported this important project�.

The money raised through the Camping for a Cause: Go Wild for the Wellness Centre event will go towards the renovation and expansion of the historic Coboconk Train Station to become the new Wellness Centre. The Wellness Centre will help to solve the gap in healthcare services in the northern areas of the Kawartha by providing space for more doctors, afterhours care, dentist, physio, and other complementary practitioners and services that will serve the needs of not only Coboconk, but also Kirkfield, Norland, Burnt River, Rosedale and other communities in Kawartha Lakes.

The success of Camping for a Cause: Go Wild for the Wellness Centre represents the launch of the community fundraising component for the Wellness Centre.

As the community demonstrates their enthusiasm for the much-needed Wellness Centre, the Chamber will work to secure funding from the 3 levels of government in order to make it a reality. To find out about what is coming next for the Wellness Centre and how to get involved, call or email the Chamber office or visit www.coboconknorland.ca.

GLOBUS THEATRE OPENS THEIR SEASON WITHIN REASON

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Globus Theatre in Bobcaygeon was forced to cancel its 17th season of Professional Summer Theatre.

But, with Stage 3 reopening; a unique venue comprising of a vast converted cattle barn; and a husband and wife creative team, the company is set to produce a ‘Season Within Reason’ that kicks off with a bang--- an encore showing of 2019’s runaway success KAMA SUTRA. For three nights only this racy but heartwarming comedy is set to make a return to the Globus stage.

Tickets for the dinner and theatre are $75 plus HST each.

When asked why the company had chosen to head back to doing live performances, and with this show in particular, Artistic Director Sarah Quick had this to say:

“We knew we wanted to do something to engage our patrons who were missing their theatre fix, and our venue is eminently versatile so we can set it up with social distancing. Because the show just features myself and James (my real life husband) it is an easy, financially risk free, crowd-pleasing solution which is exactly what was needed right now. Plus, when it ran last year it played to sold-out crowds and if any show deserves the term remount it’s the Kama Sutra!!”

These performances will be for a maximum of 50

people. In the theatre, patrons will enjoy ample social distancing from fellow theatre-goers with all of the other seats completely removed. Curtains have been partially removed to open up the space and increase ventilation.

In addition to Kama Sutra, there will be a Play Reading Series for four evenings; and a Live, Improvised Soap Opera for an in-theatre audience of 50, as well as an at home ‘livesteam’ audience (the two types of audience blending symbiotically).

Dinner & Play Reading Series This series features an informal evening of good food and laid-back laughs as the Globus Theatre’s company of actors read four of Canada’s newest comedies.

• Renovations for Six by Norm Foster on Saturday, August 22 • Pinkerton Comes to Prospect by Jamie Williams on Thursday, September 10 • *Where You Are by Kristen Da Silva on Saturday, September 19 • #Happy by Sarah Quick on Thursday, October 1 Guests will be seated at their own table in the dining room for both dinner and entertainment.

The Dream Ball Online Auction will be announced at www.bgckl.com/giving/dream-ball-donation in November. Pre-registration is open now. Bidding won’t be limited to previous attendees.

“It is that much more disappointing for us at the Boys and Girls Club to announce that this year’s Dream Ball is not going ahead, since it was to be our first year organizing this wonderful event,” says Amy Terrill, Executive Director. “Not only were we anticipating to raise much needed funds to support children and youth in our community, but we were also excited to carry on the great tradition with the help of the Dream Ball volunteers.”

DOGGUIDE WALK IS ON

Under the Reopening of Ontario Act, the Ontario Government is extending most emergency orders until September 22.

The extensions provide the government with the necessary flexibility to address the ongoing risks and effects of the COVID-19 outbreak and ensure important measures remain in place to protect vulnerable populations, such as seniors, people with developmental disabilities and those with mental health and addiction issues.

“We’ve seen great progress in our fight against COVID-19 in recent weeks, but now is not the time to let our guard down,” said Solicitor General Sylvia Jones. “We must continue safely and gradually down the path to recovery while tackling the ongoing effects of this pandemic. We’re conducting an ongoing review and assessment of all orders to determine if they are still necessary and will relax restrictions or lift orders when it is safe to do so.”

The annual Pet Valu Walk for Dogguides, a project of the Fenelon Falls Lions Club will be held September 26. The walk starts at the Maryboro Lodge Fenelon Falls Museum, with registration at 9am and the walk starting at 10am.

You can register before hand at www. walkfordogguides.com or pick up pledge forms from many local retail businesses.

Please help them raise some much-needed funds to help supply dog guides to those in need.

DREAM BALL FEATURES ONLINE AUCTION

Due to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 26th Annual Dream Ball to support The Kawartha Haliburton Children’s Foundation and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Kawartha Lakes will not proceed on November 21. In its place, the 2020 Dream Ball Committee will plan an online fundraising auction and appeal.

“After much deliberation and planning, the Dream Ball Committee has decided not to move ahead with any form of in-person event for this year,” says Emily Avery-Graves, Committee Co-Chair. “Our committee has been meeting since February in order to plan the 26th annual fundraiser. When the global pandemic surfaced, we considered alternative formats so that we would not have to disappoint previous Dream Ball attendees, but in the end, we have decided that the safety of our guests necessitates the cancellation of any in-person gathering.”

In place of the themed dinner, auction and dance, the Dream Ball Committee is inviting previous attendees to make a donation in lieu of their normal contributions and ticket purchases, and also inviting all community members to participate in an online auction in support of the BGCKL Foundation.

“With some creativity and commitment we can still make a difference for children and youth in our community,” says Jessie Kennedy, Committee CoChair. “I hope everyone will consider putting away their ballgowns and tuxedos for one year, and instead, signing up to bid on some exciting online auction prizes in November.”

SOME COVID-19 MEASURES REMAIN IN PLACE

FEDS SUPPORT COMMUNITIES

Communities across the country will be on the hunt for a piece of the new Canada Healthy Communities funding.

The Government recently launched the initiative that will help local governments and community partners as they adapt to local economic, health and social challenges.

The Canada Healthy Communities Initiative will provide up to $31 million in federal funding to support community-led solutions that respond to immediate and ongoing needs arising from COVID-19 over the next two years under three main themes: creating safe and vibrant public spaces, improving mobility options, and digital solutions. The goal is to fund projects that quickly help communities adapt to the new reality of COVID-19.

Potential projects could include: remodeling a playground to allow for proper physical distancing, building multi-modal paths that would allow bikes, scooters, and personal mobility devices to share space with pedestrians and cars, or creating digital apps to allow residents to access municipal services remotely.

You can find out more information about the Canada Healthy Communities Initiative at www. infrastructure.gc.ca/chci-iccs.

MORE HEROES AT HEART

Earlier this year, the RMH Foundation set up a special Heroes at Heart fund, supporting COVID related equipment and technology needs at Ross Memorial Hospital.

Individuals and local businesses have stepped up to give to this cause.

Queen’s Square Pharmacy

The team at Queen’s Square Pharmacy combined a key community need with frontline philanthropy when it launched a face mask fundraiser in the spring. With every sale of disposable face masks, the pharmacy collected the funds to donate to the RMH Foundation Heroes at Heart fund. After three months, Queen’s Square Pharmacy made a contribution of $1,860.

“Since this pandemic started, we all know that RMH was working hard towards flattening the curve,” said Beejal Kansara, owner of Queen’s Square Pharmacy. “As we are also front-liners, we thought we should do something that supports both our community and our hospital, and came up with a fundraiser idea involving the sale of masks. Our main intention was to raise awareness in the community of the importance of this protective measure.”

“Knowing how quickly businesses had to adapt to new safety measures and the work involved in keeping up, it’s heart-warming to see businesses such as the Queen’s Square Pharmacy also think about how they can do more for the community and for the hospital,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “We want to thank everyone who purchased disposable face masks there, knowing that their purchase would help them prevent the spread of COVID-19, and help the hospital team keep the community safe.”

Fenelon Falls Brewing When Fenelon Falls Brewing Co. launched last fall, no one expected COVID and its impact on the world and the Kawartha Lakes community.

One of the founding principles of Fenelon Falls Brewing Co. is to give back to the community and the people that need support most. In response, Fenelon Falls Brewing Co. created an online fundraiser, with $2 from the sale of every case of 24 to be donated to the RMH Foundation’s Heroes at Heart fund.

“The response was extremely positive,” said Russell Gibson, Head Brewer. “The community really embraced it. And they were so grateful when we delivered their orders. It gave them something to look forward to.”

“As we pivoted the business, one of our tenets

was to help our community along. We’re happy we were able to do that,” says Mathew Renda, General Manager.

On August 18, the Fenelon Falls Brewing Co. donated $1,500 to the RMH Foundation.

“There are so many ways businesses and organizations can play a role in patient care at the Ross,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “The team at the Fenelon Falls Brewing Co. show that business owners are also community leaders.”

Reid’s Valu-mart

At Reid’s Valu-mart in Lindsay, being involved in the community is a priority. Every year, the store supports various local causes that benefit local residents and make the City of Kawartha Lakes a healthy place to live.

That focus on community wellness was heightened with the arrival of COVID-19 in March. With the need for safety precautions impacting every aspect of the grocery business, the Valu-mart team worked long hours to ensure a safe experience for its patrons. And while their attention is riveted on the processes in place in the store, they continue to care about the welfare of others.

Valu-mart owner Mark Reid recently made a donation of $1,282 to the Heroes at Heart appeal.

“During difficult times such as these it’s even more heart-warming to see the generosity of people for their local hospital,” said Erin Coons. “Reid’s Valu-mart is an exceptional local business leader, showing the high standards that can be met when a team is committed, and the impact that team can have on the community around it.”

SANTA DAY CANCELLED

The Santa Day organizing committee in Fenelon Falls has made the tough decision to cancel the 2020 edition of Santa Day. In a post on their Facebook page, the group announced “Santa, his elves and the Santa Day Committee are very sad to announce that Santa Day 2020 has been cancelled. Due to COVID-19 we have decided that it is necessary to keep our community safe.

We would like to thank all our wonderful supporters for their generosity and time in order to make it such a fun day. See you next year on Saturday, November 27, 2021.”

RURAL FAIRS CAN APPLY FOR FUNDING

The Ontario government is expanding eligibilty for agriculture societies to apply for funding to help offset the financial losses due to the cancellation of fall fairs, exhibitions and activities during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. For this year only, nearly $1 million will be made available to all qualifying agricultural and horticultural societies to help ensure operations. In previous years, organizations could only qualify for provincial funding if they operated fall fairs.

“Our agricultural and horticultural organizations are part of the backbone of rural Ontario. We know that the decision to cancel their fairs and events was a difficult but important one in order to do their part to stop the spread of COVID-19,” said Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. “We are providing this funding to help continue operations and relieve some of the burden they are experiencing during this difficult time.”

“Our horticultural and agricultural societies have educated and entertained us on the importance of agriculture for more than a century,” said Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton -Kawartha Lakes-Brock. “This funding will help support this important sector of Ontario’s economy as the province recovers from the impacts of COVID-19.”

The Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OASS) has reported that over 175 fall fairs and events have been cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19.

The province provides some funding to individual agricultural societies through grant payments enabled through the Agricultural and Horticultural Organizations Act. Under the Act, Regulation 16 sets out that in the year an agricultural society is paid a

The 162nd Bobcaygeon Fall Fair will have a different look this year.

BANNER OF HOPE

The Truth and Reconciliation Community Bobcaygeon (trcbobcaygeon.org) is a group of settlers on a journey to build relationships with Indigenous people. A banner with ten squares has been created to represent some of the experiences gathered along the way. We hope you enjoy reading about these stories that accompany the images of the squares over the coming weeks.

REMEMBERING MMIWG

By Ann Davidson

After the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) produced their final report, entitled Reclaiming Power and Place, members of the Truth and Reconciliation Community Bobcaygeon met on four occasions in 2019 (under the guidance of Barb Cameron, an Associate Professor in the Department of Politics at York University and research member of the Centre of Feminist Research) to discuss the findings and Calls to Justice.

Close to 1,200 Indigenous women and girls were reported murdered or missing between 1980 and 2012, according to the RCMP’s 2014 final report, Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women: A National Operational Review. It is highly probable that this number is understated.

My connection to learning the truth about the horrors of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls lies simply with the circumstance that I was born female. For that reason alone, I have experienced being devalued, sexually harassed, discriminated against and my voice discounted at one time or another, in all realms of my life. And, I have also experienced white privilege in a white colonial 12

August 21, 2020 - The Kawartha Promoter

culture. So, my experience of oppression is a mere fraction of the oppression experienced by Indigenous women and girls.

I have learned that Anishinaabekwe are the protectors of water and the givers of life. They are sacred. Their roles are essential for our existence on this planet. Yet, too many Indigenous women and girls’ lives have been senselessly stolen as a direct result of colonization; and we, as a society, are poorer as a result, having been deprived of their gifts. Those no longer with us were mothers, grandmothers, aunties, cousins, spouses, daughters, and nieces. Their friends and families live with unimaginable grief and many are still dealing with ongoing violence, racism, and discrimination. Remarkably, resilience still thrives among Indigenous women and girls in the face of this

ongoing genocide. We need to honour and respect all Indigenous women, girls, two-spirited and gender diverse people: value their wisdom and restore their historic leadership roles if we, as a species are going to survive the planetary crises overwhelming us today.

My quilt square is intended to remind us of the fragility of our universe (the sun, the moon and planet Earth intertwined in an unknowable universe), the necessity for interdependence, and the profound urgency for renewed respect towards Indigenous women and girls.

When Doug Williams told us about the Mishkodeh, it was an ‘aha’ moment. Here is a little of what he told us.

Before ‘contact’ with Westerners, for thousands of years, the Indigenous people of North America had ‘cultivated’ the landscape. In the Kawarthas, this meant creating mishkodeh or ‘meadows’.

Mishkodeh were clearings created by selective burning of the underbrush to create unique ecosystems.

These places were often beside rivers and fostered plants, insects and animals that would not be found in the bush. Large trees would thrive in this environment.

These places were developed and nurtured by the Mississauga Anishinaabe people for generations. What we now recognize as the old Boyd property in the heart of Bobcaygeon is likely an ancient mishkodeh site.

When I moved to Bobcaygeon 30 years ago, I was drawn to the Boyd property. It was my doorway into the community. I got involved in a project called “Village Housing” which came close to creating public space and housing for seniors and low income people. That was not to be as the “Downton Abbey” of Bobcaygeon burned to the ground.

Twenty-eight years later, the land has gone back to meadow. We have circled back to a place in time where we can come into a more balanced relationship with the environment and First Nation neighbours.

What would be healing?

Would a venue close to or on the property promoting dialogue on issues such as Manoomin be possible? Signs and phone apps narrating the history and honouring First Nations are already happening in a partnership between TRC Bobcaygeon and Environmental Action Bobcaygeon. Kawartha Land Trust was successful in establishing a Land Trust for Big (Boyd/Chiminis) Island – would it possible to do the same with the Mishkodeh?

In the quilt square, you see the gray stone wall with the arch. The Bobcaygeon settler community calls this land “the Boyd property”. The colonial culture is decaying. The walls have come down. It is once again open space, waiting for a more “Just” relationship between Settlers and First Nations.

The bead shapes beside the arch represent sacred medicines: sage on the left and tobacco on the right.

Tobacco is used in Anishinabek ceremony as a symbol of respect and gratitude. When an individual has a prayer request, tobacco is offered. Sage is used for cleansing and healing.

The buttons represent the story Doug Williams told about his grandmother selling baskets to cottagers on Sturgeon Lake. She was given very little money for her creative work for which she was renowned. Adding insult to injury, they gave her used clothing from which they had removed the buttons.

Doug’s response, as a young boy, was to call them Mr. and Mrs. Buttons. What I heard in the telling of this story was how what must have been an angry/painful memory for him was dealt with by using humour. This personal story speaks volumes. Indigenous women, even highly respected elders, more often than not, have been devalued by the dominant white culture. What does that unrelenting message do to an indigenous woman’s sense of self worth?

When Ann Taylor from Curve Lake led the Strawberry Teachings at the sunrise ceremony at solstice, she told us the story of two brothers. They fell in love with same girl. One brother tragically died. Eventually strawberries grew where the body was secretly buried. The lesson, it seems to me , is when you bury the truth, have amnesia/denial, all relationships suffer. A traditional part of this ceremony is sharing strawberries.

I am very grateful for our TRC group being included in these gatherings. We are learning to listen.The bear appeared in my dreams just as the pandemic started.

In the Anishnabek tradition, the bear is a powerful healing spirit.

Megwiich Makwa!

The VIRTUAL LEX

The Virtual LEX kicks off this week with chances to win 2021 Ride-All-Day Midway Passes, Swiss Fudge and more in the “Little Scavengers’ Hunt” and the “Little Bit Bigger Scavengers’ Hunt.” They are virtual, COVID-19 safe, scavenger hunts for ages 5 and under, and 6 to 12. Visit https://virtual.lindsayex.com/ scavenger-hunts/ for all the details. Next up will be the Community Scavenger Hunt for everyone else starting August 24.

Prize Books for the Virtual LEX are available for most departments on the LEX website (virtually every department will have competitive classes). Find out how to enter your favourite classes by visiting https:// virtual.lindsayex.com/prize-books/. New for 2020 will be “Community’s Choice” classes in each department where the class winner will be selected on social media by the community. So be sure to watch for your favourite competitors and classes and give them the votes they need to come out on top.

“We’ve worked all summer to reimagine the LEX in a virtual world,” stated Harry Stoddart, GM of the LEX, in announcing the kick-off. “We’ve tried to recreate the various aspects of the LEX in a manner that allows for social distancing but still lets people have some fun interactive experiences. Visit https://virtual. lindsayex.com/ regularly to watch for new details and new content.”

The LEX feeds on Instagram and Facebook will feature virtual farm tours as local farms do a “takeover” one day each week. As well, the “Taste of the LEX” online store is open to order Swiss Fudge, caramel corn, cotton candy, DooDoo the Clown’s Animal Balloon Kit, and more. Order before Labour Day and pick up your goodies starting September 21st – the traditional week of the LEX.

You won’t be able to come to the LEX to see the animals so the Virtual LEX is bringing the animals to you, virtually. Use the LEX Instagram augmented reality filters to put animated, life-like, 3-d farm animals in your backyard, living room, or anywhere else you think they might be happy – although the LEX takes no responsibility for what happens when your mom or partner sees video of a horse or sheep in your bedroom.

“We’ve spread the activity from 5 days over 8 weeks to give people an opportunity to experience more aspects of the LEX,” said Len Dawson, President of the Lindsay Agricultural Society. “The team has worked hard to ensure we have fresh, engaging content from now until the end of September.”

Remember, August 21st is the last day to order your LEX social distancing t-shirts!

About the Lindsay Agricultural Society

The Lindsay Agricultural Society (LAS) is a federally registered charity and governed by a volunteer board of directors. The LAS was established to improve agricultural knowledge within the community and create opportunities for dialogue between the agricultural community and the residents

of the Kawartha Lakes. The mission of the LAS is “To showcase the vibrant agricultural industry in the Kawartha Lakes while enriching the life of the community through the Lindsay Exhibition, events, entertainment, and volunteerism.” The Lindsay Exhibition (LEX) is the annual agricultural fair hosted by the Lindsay Agricultural Society with the help of over 300 volunteers. Attendance averages over 45,000 visitors. The LEX Grounds located at the south end of Angeline St. are owned by the Lindsay Agricultural Society. The LEX Grounds host over 40 events each year in addition to the Lindsay Exhibition, drawing over 100,000 visitors annually. 2020 would have been the 166th Lindsay Exhibition and 2020 represents the first time in its history that a traditional LEX has not been held.

TUNING IN TO CUSTOMER NEEDS

Hydro One has come up with some new tools to offer cost certainty and account customization for their customers.

Through their website, you can now choose your own billing due date, choose balanced billing and monitor your electricity consumption through notifications.

“As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, customers tell us that choice and flexibility will help them during this difficult time,” said Jason Fitzsimmons, Chief Corporate Affairs and Customer Care Officer, Hydro One. “As a customer-driven organization, we have an important responsibility to

support customers with relief, flexibility and choice

According to recent research conducted by Angus Reid, 78 percent of Ontario electricity customers said balanced billing would help them better manage their finances. Balanced billing flattens out the spikes in electricity usage that commonly occurs in the summer due to air conditioning use and in the winter due to heating.

The research also found that 72 percent of customers would like to pick their own due date to better manage their finances. This feature is now included in Hydro One’s new customization bundle, which will be shared with customers through an awareness campaign. Other customization tools include alerts when electricity usage falls outside of the customer’s normal pattern, the ability to report outages online and the ability to receive text messages or emails when outages occur. Customers can visit www.HydroOne. com/Choice to learn more.

In addition to these customization options, Hydro One has also developed a number of customer support measures during COVID-19, including a Pandemic Relief Fund to offer payment flexibility and financial assistance to customers. The company is also extending its ban on residential electricity disconnections to ensure that no customer is disconnected at a time when support is needed most.

GIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE

On September 2, there will be a blood drive in Lindsay at the Victoria Park Armouries from 1:30pm to 7:30pm.

Anyone aged 17 or older is encouraged to book an appointment to donate blood. Visit www.blood.ca, download the Giveblood app or call 1-888-2DONATE. Walk-ins will not be accepted.

At the Annual Conference of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), Andy Letham, Mayor, City of Kawartha Lakes and Chair, Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC), was appointed to the AMO Board of Directors, County Caucus. The Conference was held virtually this year earlier this month.

As a member of the Board, Letham will help set policy for the association and serve as a key municipal leader in the province.

AMO’s Memorandum of Understanding with the Province gives it the opportunity to provide input on decisions impacting municipal governments. AMO staff works on dozens of policy files that impact people’s daily lives – ranging from safe roads, public health and safety and many more.

“I look forward to serving on the AMO Board as a voice for rural municipalities. This goes hand in hand with the issues we’ve been tackling with the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus, on a larger and provincewide scale,” commented Mayor Letham.

By Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Roses are blooming in gardens these days, and it looks like the future is a rosy one for you, too, Aquarius. We sense an overall lift in spirits coming your way, so stay positive!

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Encouragement is a mighty instigator, Pisces. Whenever possible, use it to lift others up and hope they will respond in kind when you need it!

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Aries, it’s not your responsibility to save others from their own drama.

They must take control - and YOU must set boundaries!

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) It’s time now, Taurus, to eliminate any negative energy or situations that do not contribute to your well-being.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Don’t miss out on the good things in life, while searching for “something better”. Enjoy what is in front of you, right now!

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Be careful not to judge others based on your own ideas of what life should be like, Cancer. Remember to always be kind and accept people for what they are, not what you think they should be.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) New job opportunities may be coming your way. Don’t underestimate your abilities to do something new and challenging. You will not only survive, but may also surprise yourself!

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Work days can be challenging at any time, Virgo, but now, even more so.

Stay the course, and move along with the confidence that, in time, things will be better.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Love isn’t always pretty, dear Libra. It can, at times, bring anxiety and fear also.

Remember to walk together with your loved ones, and try to be the strength they need.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Physical pain can create mental anguish and vice versa. If you, or someone you know, is experiencing pain, try to ascertain the core problem and work from there. Don’t let the cycle of hurt continue.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) “Sometimes there are no words to help one’s courage. Sometimes you just have to jump.” ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estés. So, dear Sag, be brave, and know that when you do your best, it is enough.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Dear Capricorn, we know you are having a rough time - with illness and trying to help other family members. The pandemic is not helping! Stay calm, back off from commitments for a while - and always seek help if needed.
