OVER THE BACK FENCE

Happy 2021!

Only three weeks into the new year, so much has changed. We are in lockdown to help stem the tide of a global pandemic, there are vaccines in hand and on the horizon to help deal with the Coronavirus and there’s new leadership for our neighbours to the south.

For many of us, this latest lockdown meant solitary Christmas and New Year’s celebrations. Understanding the reasons for this latest stay-at-home order doesn’t make it any easier. As cases throughout the world climb, we in our little bubble of rural paradise aren’t immune. For whatever reasons, the virus continues to infect our residents and affect our daily lives. Over the coming two weeks, while we’re still on lockdown, we all hope to see a drop in the number of daily reported cases and deaths. We are fighting back as we can by staying home unless we have to go

out for groceries, personal necessities or for healthcare appointments.

As of today, more than 210,000 vaccinations have been delivered in Ontario. Frontline healthcare workers and seniors in long-term care homes were among the first to receive the Pfizer vaccine. Another from Moderna is expected soon and, officials say that within the next few months, we should all have access to the vaccine. We can’t claim victory yet, though, as the virus mutates into new strains to fight back against our efforts to wrangle it into submission.

As for the new leadership in the US, I don’t think I’ve ever been so glad to see a man’s behind as I was when former President Trump got on the plane to leave Washington. I know we’re all hoping our American friends can now come back together in unity, harmony and respect.

We all want to get back to normal – to be able to hug our friends and family, go out to the theatre, or have a leisurely meal in a restaurant. That time is coming, we just need to be patient.

So, as always, be safe, wash your hands and please, be kind.

BUILD YOUR TRUST AROUND US.

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.

The Municipality of Trent Lakes Hamper Committee would like to thank everyone for all their help with the 2020 Christmas Hamper campaign.

We were able to brighten Christmas for 27 families.

It was heartwarming to see all the donations of money, toys and food especially since this has been a difficult year for everyone. It was a delight to see how everyone in this community showed how much they care for their neighbours by giving as much as they did.

We would like to thank all the papers for placing this announcement in their paper and also thank the Community Business, Real Estate Offices, Community Supporters at large and everyone else who donated their time and touch to make this day very special. We also were given $10 from two little boys who emptied their piggy bank for us.

We would also like to give a special thank you to Buckhorn Foodland for going that extra mile and for getting the school to decorate the paper bags which were again this year was filled with food. These bags made a big hit with the people who picked up the hampers. Foodland again really showed us how much this Community means to them.

So once again we thank you, from all of us, to all of you, have a wonderful 2021.

Yours in community service Marylou Bowles Municipality of Trent Lakes Christmas Hamper Committee

ENVIRONMENTAL HEROES

At the Committee of the Whole Meeting on January 12, the Kawartha Lakes Environmental Advisory Committee presented the 2020 Environmental Business Hero and Environmental Youth Hero Awards. Each year, the Committee awards the title to businesses and students living in Kawartha Lakes who have shown a commitment to improving the wellness of the environment.

Environmental Business Hero Awards • Boiling Over’s Coffee Vault (Lindsay) is a great example of a small business making many small changes to reduce their environmental impact, including: switching to “sippy” lids to reduce straws, switching to paper straws, biodegradable cutlery, products and packaging, and more.

They also donate their surplus food through FoodRescue.ca.

• Burns Bulk Food (Lindsay) has been a family business for over 35 years and has recently taken additional steps to promote zero-waste, encouraging shoppers to bring their own containers. As an incentive to shoppers who bring their own containers, Burns is providing a 10 percent discount for everything purchased in one’s own container.

• Country Cupboard (Fenelon Falls) has gone above and beyond trying to reduce plastics, making sure their products are produced as environmentally friendly as possible and by encouraging other local businesses to do the same.

The last event saw over 700lbs of garbage removed. They also have a fun promotion where if an employee spots you using one of their stainless-steel straws you get a free tank refill.

• Flex Fitness (Lindsay) is a fitness studio that has become more of a community hub. Owner Cathy Steffler takes extra steps to make sure the environmental footprint of her studio is as small as possible, encouraging people to use refillable containers and providing glassware for her members to use. You won’t find any vending machines filled with plastic bottles, Cathy leads by example and would rather do dishes for her members than create unnecessary waste.

• La Mantia’s Country Market (Lindsay) has become a model of environmental responsibility thanks to the practices Owner Dave La Mantia has put in place. Before the City’s policy on plastic recycling for businesses had even taken effect last year, La Mantia’s was achieving a 78 per cent waste diversion rate and they’ve kept that momentum going.

Environmental Youth Hero Award

The Grade 5 and 6 Student Leadership Team at King Albert Public School (Lindsay) embarked on an ambitious project to support Kawartha Lakes’ voluntary ban on plastic shopping bags, by educating their school and the wider community about the impact plastic shopping bags have on the environment. The team is also working on a project to design and produce environmentally friendly bags to replace plastic bags, with the partnership of local businesses. The project was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but is still very much alive and planned to continue in 2021.

BRITISH EMPIRE FUELS SUPPORTS GLOBUS

During a year of unprecedented hardships on the cultural and arts community, British Empire Fuels has stepped up to become the 2021 Season Sponsor for Globus Theatre.

James Barrett, Globus Theatre Artistic Producer said, “To see this level of support from British Empire Fuels is wonderful. It shows that they recognize the Arts as a vital and vibrant part of our community. Like us, they are committed to ensuring a bright future for the residents of Kawartha Lakes and visitors to our region. In this partnership we can work together to make Globus Theatre, The Lakeview Arts Barn and Bobcaygeon a cultural hub.”

British Empire Fuels is a local, family owned and operated business and long-time supporter of Globus Theatre. With over 70 years of experience, British Empire Fuels is the trusted name in fuel delivery in Kawartha Lakes and Trent Lakes. This substantial step for the company to become the Season Sponsor is encouraging and inspiring.

Sheila Whyte, V.P. Office and Marketing at British Empire Fuels says, “We have supported Globus Theatre for many years and are happy to become the season sponsor because we know how important it is having this theatre in our community and this year more than ever.”

The 2021 Summer Season will be announced as soon as Globus Theatre is able to coordinate production plans with COVID-19 guidelines in our region. If you would like to reserve your spot in the 2021 summer audience, you can purchase season subscription vouchers or gift certificates by calling the box office at 705-738-2037.

GLOBUS REACHES FUNDRAISING GOAL

Globus Theatre heads into 2021 with hope and positivity as the Save Our Stage (SOS) matching funds campaign reached the goal of $100,000. An overwhelming amount of generosity and words of encouragement have come from local businesses, loyal patrons, and a legion of past performers. Globus Theatre would like to thank everyone who supported the theatre during a bleak and challenging year.

The Save Our Stage fundraising campaign began in June of 2020 after Globus’ 17th season of professional summer theatre had to be cancelled. Globus Theatre’s Artistic Producer, James Barrett, called John and Sally Eaton – two of Globus’ regular patrons. When asked if their foundation, The John C. and Sally Horsfall Eaton Foundation, would consider being a matching funds partner in the SOS fundraising campaign they said, “Thank you – Thank you for feeling that you could ask us for help”. After asking a lot of questions about finances and operations they pledged to match whatever Globus raised up to $100,000. And now they have!

This unbelievable achievement and matching contribution from the John C. and Sally Horsfall Eaton 8

January 22, 2021 - The Kawartha Promoter

Foundation has allowed Globus Theatre to get through 2020 with the creative and administrative team intact.

It also allowed Globus to open summer camps for kids and produce two small seasons of live programming in August/September and November/December. Ten shows over 20 nights were produced keeping staff and artists working and a small but appreciative group of patrons entertained.

CFKL GIVES $1 MILLION

The Community Foundation of Kawartha Lakes generated $1 million in local charitable investment activity in its first official year of operation.

Launched in December 2018, the Community Foundation had a very busy 2019, working with donors, governments and local partner organizations to bring new funds to address specific needs in the community.

“I am thrilled!” proclaimed Foundation co-founder and outgoing President, Mike Perry,who grew up in Fenelon Falls and has lived in Little Britain and Lindsay.

“The vision becoming reality and it is wonderful to see this work here in our home area.”

The key benefit of the Community Foundation model is that it permits donors to establish their own funds which are tax deductible and implement the philanthropic interests and wishes of the donor, subject to Canada Revenue Agency rules around charitable giving.

“We wanted to be sure to fill gaps,” Perry notes.

“We wanted a model that can do unique things and give people a way to help with long-standing, tough areas of need locally.”

In its first year, the Foundation administered over $1 million of charitable activity including the COVID-19 relief fund in Bobcaygeon and funds established for such diverse needs as cancer patient assistance, local tree planting, a new community theatre, a sculpture project, and scholarships for local students. Granting to local charities was offered through the Government of Canada Emergency Community Support Fund. A new microcredit program for agricultural innovation will be launched in the new year.

“It’s been great to provide people a new way to make a difference in our area,” adds Perry. “We have worked with local small businesses, Community Care, and the Boys & Girls Club and hope to do more with the United Way in the new year.”

Incoming President, Jack Roks, agrees. “I am very proud that the Foundation is representative of communities across Kawartha Lakes and that we have engaged our seasonal residents more.” He adds: “We are ready to work with everyone and it is an exciting time moving forward with this new tool for charitable investment in our community.”

The Community Foundations pillar areas of work include: • increasing employment and developing the local economy; • protecting the environment and helping agriculture; • promoting health and the arts; and

•

building strong communities by addressing poverty, homelessness and supporting persons living with disabilities.

Donors may create funds in these pillars or other charitable areas, depending on their interests and vision. The funds are combined with the other established funds to obtain higher earnings and reduced fees. The funds are administered by the Community Foundation compatible with the wishes of the donors. The Community Foundation model exists to help donors create funds that grow in perpetuity and also takes on charitable projects working with local community groups. Tax receipts are issued and the Foundation can accept donations of securities as well.

This is increasingly popular as the federal government provides generous tax benefits for donors.

To begin a conversation to start a fund or learn more about the Foundation, its Board of Directors and its philanthropy, contact Margaret at 705-879-2719 or email info@kawarthafoundation.ca.

BUSINESS SUPPORT GRANT AVAILABLE

The Ontario government has opened applications for the new Ontario Small Business Support Grant.

First announced in December, the grant provides a minimum of $10,000 to a maximum of $20,000 for eligible small businesses who have had to restrict their operations due to the Provincewide Shutdown.

“This grant is another support that will help our local small businesses across Haliburton, Kawartha Lakes and Brock get through these tough times so they can continue to remain a vital part of our local community,” said Laurie Scott, MPP for HaliburtonKawartha Lakes-Brock.

“As Ontario’s employers do their part to defeat COVID-19, they are facing unprecedented challenges as a result of this global pandemic,” said Peter Bethlenfalvy, Minister of Finance and President of the Treasury Board. “I encourage every eligible small business owner in Ontario to visit Ontario.ca/ COVIDSupport to access the support our government has made available. While we still have a lot of work ahead of us, we can all look confidently to the future as we resolve to do our parts and put COVID-19 behind us.”

Small businesses required to close or significantly restrict services under the Provincewide Shutdown will be able to apply for a one-time grant and use this funding in whatever way makes the most sense for their individual business needs. For example, some businesses could need support paying employee wages, while others could need support with their rent.

Eligible small businesses include those that: • Were required to close or significantly restrict services due to the Provincewide Shutdown being imposed across the province effective 12:01am on December 26.

• Have fewer than 100 employees at the enterprise level.

• Have experienced a minimum of 20 percent

revenue decline in April 2020 compared to April 2019.

New businesses established since April 2019 will also be eligible if they meet the other eligibility criteria. They will be able to select alternative months for comparing revenue decline through the application portal. In addition, winter seasonal businesses, such as ski hills, will be permitted to compare revenue from December 2019 or January 2020 to December 2020.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) elementary and secondary schools within the City of Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County will return to in-person learning, and elementary and secondary schools within the District of Muskoka will continue remote learning as of Monday, January 25.

Bus transportation will resume for eligible students in the City of Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County starting January 25.

The Ontario government, in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health have made this decision, after keeping kids home after the Christmas break.

TLDSB will communicate further with HKPRDHU families within the coming days regarding any new health and safety measures for in-person learning.

You can find more COVID-19 information and updates at tldsb.ca/covid19/.

FENELON FALLS BRIDGE WORK

Residents can expect to see construction work starting to take place mid to late January on the Fenelon Falls Bridge located on Lindsay Street. Clearwater Structures will be on site installing new steels frames as a proactive measure to increase support for the structure.

The construction work is expected to take three to four weeks to complete. The majority of the work will take place underneath the bridge, so there should be minimal impact to traffic, however there may be times where delays could occur should access to the road be required.

The Fenelon Falls Bridge is expected to undergo a full rehabilitation project in the near future. D.M. Wills and Associates consulting firm conducted a full survey of the bridge in September 2020 for phase one for the project. It was identified that the steel support beams should be installed to ensure the continued stability of the bridge until a full rehab can take place.

Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes has received a $143,700 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). The funding was used for the purchase and retrofit of two wheelchair and stretcheraccessible vans. The vans are a vital piece of Community Care’s Specialized Transportation program, providing seniors and adults with special needs with affordable transportation.

“We are immensely grateful to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for investing in our mission to provide reliable, safe, and accessible transportation for those with mobility issues across the City of Kawartha Lakes,” said Barb Mildon, CEO Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes. “Many seniors in the City of Kawartha Lakes experience transportation issues and social isolation, and these vans will ensure those most vulnerable remain connected to their community.”

Community Care’s Transportation program supports clients in maintaining their independence and improving their access to health care. Most trips provided by Community Care are to medical appointments, treatment sessions, or hospital discharges. Other destinations include day programs, recreation activities and social outings. With over 57,000 door-to-door rides provided to 3,000 people, Community Care’s transportation services drove clients a total of over 2.4 million km last year – enough to travel around the world more than 60 times!

“Improving the mobility of senior members of our community and those with special needs is essential to maintaining good mental and physical health,” said Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock. “This year more than ever, we can all understand the feeling of isolation that can be experienced by those who are unable to leave their homes and we are so thankful that with this provincial funding, Community Care is able to offer this service to vulnerable members of our community.”

The Ontario Trillium Foundation is an agency of the Government of Ontario, and one of Canada’s leading granting foundations. OTF awarded $115 million to 644 projects last year to build healthy and vibrant communities in Ontario. For more information, please visit www.otf.ca.

KEEP IT CLEAN

The City of Kawartha Lakes is made up of over 250 rivers and lakes and has over 600km of trails to explore. With so much of the area defined by natural landscapes and green spaces, it’s vital for all those who live and work here to do their part to keep the City healthy and clean.

Disposing of your household waste in and/or beside public waste containers is an illegal offence and fines can be placed, just the same as the illegal dumping of waste on roadsides or ditches.

Here are some easy tips to reduce litter: • Always use reusable items where possible, such as grocery bags, water bottles and food containers • Use waste and/or recycling bins properly • Always have a spare waste bag in your car, to throw away items if a waste bin isn’t nearby • Take advantage of programs that help divert items such as construction waste and clean wood

Stay informed on when your curbside collection takes place: • Weekly alerts can be set up through the mywaste app • The 2021 Municipal Waste and Recycling Calendars are now available in stores and online

If you do come across areas littered with garbage or hazardous waste (such as batteries, paint, gas containers, needles) on public or municipal property, please contact Kawartha Lakes by calling 705-3249411 or completing the Report It form on the City’s website.

“Some of our members have had need of the CT Scanner over the years, and as always, we want to support the hospital,” said Tim. Tim was recently joined by members Walter Jancsik, Rob O’Malley and Ray Kirkby to present a cheque for $2,500 to Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO.

LIONS CLUBS SUPPORTS RMH

Where there is a need, there is a Lion. The Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation is honoured to be among the many community causes supported through local Lions Clubs.

The Fenelon Falls and District Lions Club recently visited the hospital to present another special donation — this one in memory of Don Johnstone, a 20-year club member who passed away. President Barry Tate and members Susan Tate and Lloyd McIntyre presented a cheque for $500 to Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO, to support the Brighter Tomorrows holiday appeal and help the community purchase a new CT Scanner.

“The Fenelon Falls and District Lions are a wonderful example of those who believe that community is what you make it, and they make it better year after year through their support of local causes,” said Erin Coons. “This gift made in memory of Mr. Johnstone will impact patient care for years to come, helping doctors diagnose injury and disease, and guiding surgeries and cancer treatments.”

Dunsford Lions were also quick to react when they learned that the Ross Memorial Hospital must replace its CT Scanner.

challenges of all sizes,” said Erin Coons. “It’s true what they say: when a Lions Club gets together, problems get smaller and communities get better.”

Letters have been mailed throughout the City of Kawartha Lakes to encourage donor support for the Brighter Tomorrows holiday appeal. Government funding does not cover the cost of all hospital equipment. Most medical equipment at RMH is funded through donations.

Computerized Tomography (CT) scanning combines a series of images taken from various angles to create cross-sectional views of a patient’s bones, blood vessels and soft tissues. At the Ross, the CT team conducts more than 12,000 scans every year.

LOCAL HORSE BUSINESSES GET HELP

The new Equine Hardship Program launched by the Province will provide individual businesses offering horse related experiences up to $2,500 per horse to a maximum of $20,000 in financial support to help cover direct costs for feed, water, veterinary care and farrier services needed to maintain horses.

During the pandemic, many horse experience businesses such as riding schools, trail ride operations, and horse camps have been unable to operate, which has put these businesses and their horses in jeopardy.

“Supporting local equine businesses in HKLB and across the province to help keep up with the costs of animal care is important so they can be ready for when it is safe to resume normal operations,” said Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock.

“COVID-19 has disrupted many of the activities offered by horse experience operators making it challenging for some to care for their animals this winter,” said Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. “Our investment of $3 million will allow these businesses to keep up with the costs of animal care so they can maintain their horses and be

ready for when activities can start up again.�

Horse experience businesses will be eligible for funding if they earned at least 50 percent of their revenue in 2019 from horse experience activities, their 2020 revenue was less than half of what was earned in 2019 due to the pandemic, and they attest they are facing hardship as a result of COVID-19 that will make it difficult to care for the horses.

The Equine Hardship Program was specifically designed for horse experience businesses that are not eligible for other agriculture related programs that help farmers manage risk such as the Risk Management Program and AgriStability.

MORPHING INTO “SAFETY SUPPLY STORES”

With C-19 not going away anytime soon and more and more restrictions are being imposed on retailers, KCD in Bobcaygeon, which was voted “Best Western Boutique in North America” by the Girl Boss Awards, has teamed up with Water Street Clothesline in Fenelon Falls to add “Safety Supplies” or PPE products for sale.

“In this environment, we have to think outside the box,” says Kimberly Dawn, owner of Kicking Cowgirl Designs. “So since there were no retailers in Bobcaygeon or Fenelon Falls focusing on this, we have now dedicated a space just for PPE products to serve and protect our communities.”

Both retailers are following the guidelines laid out by the Retail Council of Canada. “We have ample supply of Kawartha Branded hand sanitizer, face shields, PPE Gloves, barn hay and ONLY 3-ply Canadian made recycled cotton face masks which are printed local in Bobcaygeon,” continues Kimberly.

“We looked at the cheaper single- or double-layered face masks, but made the decision like everything else we do – if we are going to do this we are only selling the best and most comfortable.”

Stores hours are reduced but orders can also be placed by email to kcd@kickingcowgirldesigns. com and through their website – www. kickingcowgirldesigns.com.

RMH AUXILIARY LAUNCHES 50/50 RAFFLE

The Ross Memorial Hospital Auxiliary has launched its new fundraiser that promises good fun for a great cause. The Ross Family & Friends 50/50 Raffle is the newest in a long list of Auxiliary fundraisers that support equipment and capital needs at the Ross Memorial Hospital.

“With the pandemic affecting so many of our traditional ways of fundraising for the Ross, we’re thrilled to ignite support with a raffle that involves the Ross Team and our community,” said Karen Simser, chair of the RMHA 50/50 Raffle Committee.

“In this 50/50 fundraiser, half of the funds are presented to the draw winner, and the other half supports hospital needs through annual donations to the RMH Foundation,” said Karen.

The Auxiliary ran its first raffle series as a pilot selling tickets to employees, physicians and volunteers at the Ross. The pilot was a huge success within the Ross Team and inspired the Auxiliary’s Raffle Committee to invite the general public to join the fun.

Members of the public are invited to buy tickets for the Ross Family & Friends 50/50 from February 1 to 22. Ontario residents over 18 years are eligible to participate and may purchase up to four tickets for the series at a cost of $5 each.

The 50/50 draws occur in a series over several months. Draws will take place every two weeks for a total of six draws for this series. There are 750 tickets available for purchase. The potential prize for these draws is $1,875 per draw, if all 750 tickets are sold.

“We couldn’t be happier to see how the Auxiliary’s raffle is brightening spirits at the hospital, and we can’t wait to include the community going forward,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “We consider so many people to be Ross family and friends. And together, we make our hospital even better.”

THOUGHTS OF GREEN

Submitted by Linda Friend

The year 2020 plunged us into a new world of challenges and adaptations. Perhaps that is the reason that gardening was more popular than ever. Local nurseries managed, with heroic efforts, to supply our thirst for plants to fill burgeoning flower and vegetable patches. “Kids” in their 40s were discovering the satisfaction of “putting” up jams, jellies, pickles and gourmet sauces with home-grown ingredients.

With spring only three months away (here’s hoping), avid gardeners are turning their thoughts to the warmer weather.

A special tip for those who enjoy growing from seed -- ORDER YOUR SEEDS EARLY. Last year, it was difficult to find seeds.

There are fantastic Canadian seed sources offering wide selections of vegetables, herbs, annuals and perennials. Their catalogues beat Netflix for entertainment and include useful information for gardening in our climate. Some are strictly non-GMO and many offer organic seeds.

I have discovered a useful and informationpacked garden magazine for Canadians. Published in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (just saying that name makes me smile!), it is non-glitzy, practical and wellwritten. Learn more about The Gardener at www. gardenermagazine.ca.

LOCAL FOOD PRODUCER LAUNCHES COOKING SHOW

Rude Awakening Granola has launched a new cooking and baking show, live streamed every Sunday at 11am. Rude Awakening owner, Connie Powers, can be found making homestyle dinners and desserts live on the streaming platform, Twitch. Viewers can find the live stream by searching “RudeAwakeningTV” on Twitch and can watch episodes later on Youtube at Rude Awakening Granola’s channel.

Rude Awakening Granola is a local food producer and can be found at the Bobcaygeon Farmers Market, Fenelon Falls Farmers Market, Minden Farmers Market, and Peterborough Indoor Farmers Market selling smallbatch granola and unique jellies.

Connie, a resident of Bobcaygeon, was looking for ways of connecting with others in their home kitchen during COVID-19 and wanted to share more of her cooking and baking beyond granola and jellies.

Working with locally sourced food, Connie aims to share recipes and tips that she has perfected in her own kitchen. Rude Awakening TV features Sunday roasts, home baked pies, and unboxing of kitchen supplies in a newly renovated Kitchen by Kawartha Kitchen Designs.

Connie says, “I have always loved to cook and nurture my family with nutritious food. I take pride in creating foods that raised a family, feeds a grandson and keeps my community enjoying foods I produce. recently retired as a teacher and decided to enrol in culinary arts school and share what I love to do. My daughters are both helping me and I love that the most. So, watch my twitch.tv, and share some food discussions with me. Keep hungry!”

IS COVID-19 BAD FOR YOUR CAR?

While Covid-19 lockdowns are affecting everything from our social and family lives to politics and the economy, they can also have a negative impact on your car. Whether it is sitting unused in your driveway, or only being used once in a while for short, local trips, your driving habits have likely changed. I reached out to my mechanic, Duncan’s Auto Service in Bobcaygeon for some info and tips.

Batteries

Batteries do not like frigid temperatures and short trip driving cycles. When your car sits for long periods

January 22, 2021 - The Kawartha Promoter

of time (not in use), there are still plenty of electronic systems turning themselves on and off performing self diagnostics. Sometimes more modern vehicles are even sending consumer information back to the manufacturer over the internet.

These vehicle functions drain a battery on a normal day, let alone during cold lockdown months with shorter and fewer trips. If possible, be sure to take the long way home from the grocery store and allow your car to warm up and idle a little longer than usual. This way, your battery can recharge and recover from each start-up.

Nobody likes to discover their car won’t start when they really need it to. If you think your battery needs to be checked, or is older than its recommended lifespan (3 to 5 years) call your mechanic for a battery check-up.

Tires

When temperatures fluctuate so does the pressure in your tires. Many of us are quite used to the low tire pressure light coming on in colder months; some may be seeing it for the first time. If you suspect your tires need the inflation checked, or if you have a tire giving you trouble, give your mechanic a call to have it taken care of sooner rather than later.

Brakes All of the components in modern car braking systems are very sensitive to the corrosive agents used for de-icing and safety on our roads. Your brakes get hit the hardest during the winter; they rust, they squeak, they can be embarrassing!

Here is a tip that can be very helpful if your brakes are two years old or newer and are just now starting to get emotional: When you are out for your essential trip to town, try to be a little more “aggressive” on your brakes than normal. A little bit extra braking effort can get your brakes a little warmer. As they get warm they self clean any rust and corrosion that has built up on your brake components.

If you’ve noticed your brakes are a little more scratchy, noisy or squeaky than normal, or you had put off a brake job prior to lockdown, book a brake inspection, or even a brake service, to get things moving and working properly.

Engine Oil

Modern engines use state of the art technology.

Direct Injection, variable valve timing, turbo chargers, and extended drain intervals recommended by manufacturers don’t favour the consumer. To protect your investment, change the oil as frequently as your driving habits dictate.

If Covid-19 has reduced most of your driving to short, local trips keep in mind your engine oil is absorbing more moisture and debris than it can handle. Your oil may need to be changed based on time, not km interval.

Horoscopes

January 22 to February 4

By Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) As the lockdowns continue, Aquarius, make sure you are taking care of your mental and emotional health. Get some form of exercise, keep learning new things, and, if necessary, reach out for help.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Heads up, Pisces! You may experience some unusual happenings during this phase, pleasant in nature and amusing. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 20) “Nature calms the brain and heals the body.” Aries, now is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the natural beauty surrounding you.

There is much to appreciate.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Your esteemed stature in the community, Taurus, is well-known and well-deserved.

Many admire you and will continue to do so.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Create! Use this time -social isolation and wintry days -- to discover new ways of being creative and unearthing some hidden talents, dear Gemini. It will brighten the days.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Apathy: lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern. Cancer, we know it is tempting at this time of year to be lulled into a sense of apathy. Try not to let this overtake you. Make the effort to live fully and attentively.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) This phase, and even those ahead, will bring challenges, Leo. Maintain your balance, and don’t try to juggle too many different things all at once. Keep focused!

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 22) There’s no better time than the New Year to get a fresh start and declutter! Here’s what you will gain, Virgo: more space, more time, more energy. So set your sights and get to work.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 23) Realize, Libra, that you are in charge of your behaviour, and your responses to other people’s behaviour. Oftentimes, we react by following old, familiar patterns which are not always helpful. Is it time for a change?

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) “The summit is what drives us, but the climb itself is what matters.”: Conrad Anker.

Yes, Scorpio, keep the end in sight, but don’t be afraid to stop and linger along the way. Enjoy the journey!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) It’s important to set your sights on goals and outcomes, but please make sure you are ready, emotionally and physically for what lies ahead. You may encounter struggles and you need to be in top form!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Don’t let anyone burst your bubble. Don’t let anyone break your spirit. Keep these words in minds, dear Cap, as you trundle through the cold, and sometimes dark, days of January.
