OVER THE BACK FENCE

With the cautious reopening of the province, we’re all anxious to get together with friends and family again. Restaurant patios are open, people are shopping in our stores and visitors are lining up at the locks. It’s a great sight to see.

I’d like to think that this is the beginning of our new normal but I’m cautiously optimistic. We need to keep wearing our masks and maintain our distance from others in public spaces, but that’s a small price to pay for safety.

This morning, I read a figure of 78 percent of people vaccinated in our area and that’s good news, too. With the drive-thru clinics in Lindsay over the next week and access to more vaccine supplies, we should all have our shots by the end of the summer.

In the meantime, though, following health protocols is important so we don’t slide backwards.

On another note, those of us who

are in Buckhorn and environs are dealing with the gypsy moth crisis.

And we are under seige! Many of my neighbours have lost age old trees to the invasive species. Now that the caterpillars have eaten their way through the oak and white birch, they’re moving on to the fir trees. It’s really creepy to see that instead of needles on the trees, there are thousands of caterpillars. What’s even more creepy, and right out of a Hitchcock movie, is that you can hear them crunching on the leaves!

It sounds like rain hitting the leaves, but on a sunny day even I know that’s impossible!

In a couple of weeks, they will pupate, so the caterpillars (and their pellet like poop) will disappear. I’m getting out my flyswatter to attack the moths when they come out of hibernation! But at least then I’ll be able to enjoy my deck without the threat of having a caterpillar land on my head or being bombarded with caterpillar poop!

Until next time, keep up the good work! Stay well and remember to be kind!

City Hall CKL’S MAYOR CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC

With Stage One of the province’s Roadmap to Reopen, City of Kawartha Lakes Mayor Andy Letham is optimistic about the positive impact this will have on the community.

“This great news is due to the sacrifices and cooperation by each of us individuals and businesses from Kawartha Lakes right across Ontario,” he said. “As we start to see things pick back up and you head out again, I urge you to do so carefully. If you’re enjoying a meal on a patio, dropping into your favourite store or meeting up at the park or on the dock, be safe and continue to follow all public health guidelines. Please continue to get vaccinated when your turn comes up.”

Mayor Letham continued, “On the weekend, in response to a complaint, our By-law officers were called in to enforce provincial regulations as a result of some businesses going beyond curbside pick-up.

During this time, a local Councillor was observed having an interaction with our By-law officers. The appropriateness of this conversation and the details of what occurred is being investigated. To those local business owners that felt the need to ‘take a stand’, I’d like to say, just hang on a few more days. We’ve stayed strong through this together and we will get out of this together. Do not jeopardize our entire summer for the sake of a few extra days. Although we’re a little late getting started, it looks like we’re going to have great summer ahead.”

Step One of the Roadmap to Reopen includes but is not limited to: • Outdoor social gatherings and organized public events with up to ten people; • Outdoor religious services, rites, or ceremonies, including wedding services and funeral services, capped at the number of people that can maintain a physical distance of two metres • Indoor religious services, rites, or ceremonies, including wedding services and funeral services permitted at up to 15 percent capacity of the particular room • Non-essential retail permitted at 15 percent

CITY ENDS 2020 WITH SURPLUS

In a report to Council on June 15, Carolyn Daynes, Treasurer, outlined the net surplus of $4.5 million and how it was achieved over the various challenges of the pandemic year. The consolidated Financial Statements were also provided to Council.

Daynes explained, “The 2020 net Surplus of $4.5 million is largely due to Council’s prudent financial approach to the pandemic early in the year. Various measures were taken to ensure a balanced budget and tight cash flow management. The focus for the first half of the year was to concentrate on essential expenses only in all departments. In August, when upper levels of government announced funding to municipalities for pandemic relief, the Surplus was realized.”

Snapshot of 2020 financial year • Reduced revenues in user fees: The pandemic affected user fee revenue in several areas totalling $2.8 million: Community Services programs (sports rentals, hall rentals, recreation programs), Provincial Offences Revenue, Library Revenues, Transit fees, Tax and Utility Administration Fees and Parking fees. With offsets in other areas, such as increased tipping fees at landfills, cemetery fees and Ross Memorial Hospital funding of the Community Paramedic Program, user fee revenue at year end was only $1,350,000 under budget.

• Pandemic costs: Costs of $600,000 that were strictly due to the pandemic include technology related items, cleaning supplies, personal protective equipment, extra cleaning contracts and building maintenance and repair expenses.

• Reduced utility and vehicle fuel costs: With many municipal buildings remaining closed, staff working at home and the Ontario government’s reduction of hydro rates, utility costs were reduced by approximately $930,000 and vehicle fuels costs reduced by $380,000.

• Reduced staff wages: Short term layoffs, not hiring summer students, voluntary leaves and delays in hiring new staff resulted in $2.5 million in savings.

• Reductions in road services: Public Works reduced the budget by $1 million across all available areas of service, mainly in ditching, sweeping and roadside protection.

The following areas had a surplus which were transferred to reserves: • Winter Control: A mild winter meant an average of 42 winter events, compared to 56 in 2019. This

led to $1 million surplus to be transferred to the Contingency Reserve to help offset the fluctuations in budget requirements from year to year due to unknown weather patterns.

• Area Rates: Each year Council will transfer the surplus from area-rated services such as Fire, Police, street lighting, transit and community services into a reserve to be used to offset any future deficits or requirements. In 2020, there was $600,000 in surplus across the various area rates.

This surplus allowed there to be no increase in the 2021 taxy levy for Fire Area C, Lindsay Parks, KLPS, OPP and street lighting.

• WSIB claims: The surplus of $300,000 will be transferred to a reserve to stabilize payments in future years.

• The Water and Wastewater surplus of $635,000 will be returned to a reserve for future infrastructure needs.

• KLH Housing Corp. transferred to reserves a surplus of $155,000. This surplus resulted from increased rental income as well as decreased costs in property taxes and utilities.

• The remaining $3.2 million of the 2020 Surplus will be transferred to the Asset Management Reserve to fund capital projects.

“I’m pleased that despite the pressures of the pandemic, we were able to end 2020 on solid ground.

We kept the tax levy for 2021 at a modest 1.5 percent increase, and we were even able to build up our reserves. This puts us in a good position for next year’s budget and allows us to move ahead on capital projects that are important to the community,” commented Mayor Letham.

COMMITTEES LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS

City of Kawartha Lakes Council is looking for some interested residents to volunteer in various activities associated with local government.

There are a few openings available: • Kawartha Lakes Environmental Advisory Committee: 1 person for the remainder of the Term of Council (End of 2022) • Kawartha Lakes Municipal Heritage Advisory

Committee: 2 persons for the remainder of the Term of Council (end of 2022) • Committee of Adjustment: 1 person for the remainder of the Term of Council (End of 2022) Members of the public interested in serving on any of these Boards or Committees are asked to submit a “Citizen Appointment Application Form” available online along with supporting material, by email to clerks@kawarthalakes.ca. Applications must be received no later than 4:30pm on Friday, July 2, 2021.

MORE FUNDING FOR LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS

The second round of funding under the Community Pandemic Recovery Fund (CPRF) was adopted by Council recently.

The Fund was established in January 2021 and the first round of funding totalling $245,000 was awarded in March. The purpose of the funding is to provide support for programs and services that assist residents in meeting their basic human service needs.

The second round of funding was approved

by Council in April and the successful applications include: • Dunsford Community Centre: $7,500 for maintaining operating costs • Globus Theatre: $7,500 for community outreach work that goes beyond regular activities • John Howard Society of Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton: $5,000 to support the Partner Assault Response program during the pandemic (specifically outside Lindsay) • Maryboro Lodge Fenelon Falls Museum: $7,500 to support operating costs for the organization, including online programs • The Kinsmen Club of Lindsay Foundation: $7,500 to support continuing operations to benefit families and children (specifically outside Lindsay).

“We are thrilled that these community organizations were able to access the second round of funding. Coming out of the pandemic, their work will continue to be a critical lifeline in the health, safety and well-being of residents. It will benefit people of all ages, from children to seniors. We are grateful to Council for supporting this funding,” commented Heather Kirby of Kawartha Lakes Food Source, Cochair of the Community Pandemic Recovery Task Force.

The balance of CPRF funds not awarded ($6,662.48) under the Community Pandemic Recovery Fund will be returned to the City Reserve.

BOBCAYGEON HONOURS INDIGENOUS CHILDREN

Submitted by Brenda Wall

Upon hearing of the 215 Indigenous children whose bodies were detected in a mass grave beside the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia on May 27, 2021, members of Truth and Reconciliation Community-Bobcaygeon (TRCBobcaygeon) swung into action. Together with more than 50 community members, including children, they began covering 215 river rocks with orange paint and then painting hearts and other designs on the rocks. Orange is the colour of the Every Child Matters campaign to remember the lives of Indigenous children who were forcibly taken away from parents and placed into residential schools.

On the evening of June 16, these rocks will be displayed as an art installation on the stone wall outside the Bobcaygeon library and Boyd Heritage Museum and will stay there until mid-July.

TRC-Bobcaygeon explains that residential schools in Canada were part of a colonial policy to eradicate Indigenous cultures, languages and communities and even though the last school closed in 1996, as Amnesty International has said, “…intergenerational

trauma, ongoing harm and discriminatory practices continue to this day.”

TRC Bobcaygeon co-keeper, Sherry Telford summarizes the group’s aims. “We are learning, educating and working towards reconciliation locally within the Settler community and in relationship with the Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg (especially with Curve Lake First Nation). All of us mourn the loss of these and countless other children and express our support for residential school survivors, their families and all First Nations, Inuit and Métis people who are grieving and mourning.”

TRC-Bobcaygeon expresses its gratitude to Barr’s BMR, W & G Landscaping and Construction and Home Hardware in Bobcaygeon for donating supplies for this project. We also thank Mayor Andy Letham, the Boyd Heritage Museum Board and the City of Kawartha Lakes Library (Bobcaygeon) for their support and the numerous community members from all around the Kawarthas who not only donated their time and creative skills to painting these beautiful rocks, but expressed their grief for the 215 children and hope for the future in their art.

We welcome residents and visitors to walk by and view the “215 Children Taken” art installation at the Bobcaygeon Library, 2 Canal Street, Bobcaygeon and we will post the number of the National Indian Residential School Crisis Line (1-866-925-4429) at the site in case painful memories are triggered for members of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities.

You can find out more about the organization and its efforts at www. trcbobcaygeon. org.

DRIVE-THRU VACCINATION CLINICS

Ross Memorial Hospital and the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit are working together to make it even easier for area residents to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations.

No Appointment Needed Nights are being held at Ross Memorial’s drive-thru vaccination clinic at the Lindsay Exhibition on June 22, and June 24 from 4pm to 7:30pm. The Moderna vaccine will be administered.

Individuals 18 and older who meet provincial guidelines including the following criteria are eligible to attend the clinics:

• This will be your first vaccine dose.

• It has been 28 days after first dose of Moderna.

• It has been 28 days after first dose of Pfizer.

Ross Memorial and the HKPR District Health Unit are committed to getting members of the community vaccinated to protect against COVID-19. Vaccination rate thresholds play a significant role in the Government of Ontario’s Roadmap to Reopen, a three-step plan to safely and cautiously reopen the province.

These No Appointment Needed Nights are the result of an increased vaccine supply in the region.

As of June 14, the HKPR District Health Unit has worked with partners to vaccinate a total of 121,575 people with first doses in their service region, which includes Northumberland County, Haliburton County and the City of Kawartha Lakes. More than 31,800 of those vaccinations have been delivered by Ross Memorial at the LEX drive-thru vaccine clinic.

LIBRARY CELEBRATES PRIDE MONTH

Submitted by Stephanie McPherson

The month of June was chosen for LGBTQ Pride to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which is often seen as the most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the beginning of the modern fight for LGBTQ rights. Trent Lakes Public Library has established a dedicated section in both the Buckhorn and Cavendish branches as part of our efforts to challenge homophobia and transphobia while fostering an environment that is inclusive of gender identity and gender expression. There is also a dedicated place on our website with the list of all of our Q-munity books and resources.

People who identify as LGBTQ often experience barriers to accessing necessary services due to discrimination or harassment. The “coming-out” process can be a critical time for families. The library has access to the internet for research as well as a dedicated collection that focuses on the LGBTQ community. Our print material includes information books, biographies and autobiographies, as well as fiction books with LGBTQ characters. The picture above is the display of the new books in the Q-munity collection.

In addition to the material collections, we also have information for people to get assistance if they need it. The library is working closely with the Canadian

Mental Health Association Office in Peterborough, the 519 Space for Change and other groups to help provide support for the LGBTQ community and their families.

Since the development of this collection, the CEO of Trent Lakes Public Library has received many touching stories from patrons about the effect that the stigma associated with coming out or being a member of the LGBTQ community has had on themselves or on family members. At the end of May the staff listened to the story of a transgender person and the impact that his transition has had on his life and his family.

The staff hope that by providing a safe place for people to research and read materials will help people understand that they are not alone and that there is support in the community.

CHURCH DONATES GARDEN BEDS

St. James Anglican Church is excited to embark on a collaborative project with the Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society to grow fresh produce in the Community Garden for the Food Bank. The church donated seven raised beds in the Community Garden to be tended by dedicated youth from Langton Public School and Fenelon Falls Secondary School. Church members also volunteered time and donated plants to get things started.

These food bank gardens join an expansive food bank garden at Maryboro Lodge Museum, tended by the Horticultural Society, and six garden plots at Langton tended by students. The Horticultural Society

recently received a $500 grant for the collaborative effort between local youth, the Horticultural Society, and the St James Community Garden. Fenelon Falls Home Hardware and St James Church both contributed soil for the project.

The St. James Community Garden was established in 2013, between the church and the rectory on Bond Street East, and is organized and maintained by members of the church as well as members of the community of Fenelon Falls. The goal is to provide opportunities for those who don’t have access to land for gardening, to provide an opportunity for those who want to learn to garden and to provide a community gathering space.

Although all the raised beds are already spoken for this year, anyone is welcome to rent a bed for the season at a cost of $20 to help with expenses.

CHICKEN PILOT PROJECT

Applications for the 2021 Backyard Chicken Coop Pilot Project are now available. The two-year pilot project will allow for residents in residential areas to have chicken coops under certain conditions with a maximum of four chickens at any one time.

NATURAL GAS TO BE AVAILABLE IN BOBCAYGEON

SUMMER LUNCH PROGRAM

Submitted by Heather Kirby

Since 2018, the Summer Outreach Lunch Program has prepared and distributed hundreds of healthy bagged lunches to elementary-aged children in the Kawartha Lakes. As many families in our community rely on school-run programs, the summer months often bring anxiety surrounding food security, leaving children burdened with the worry of not having enough to eat.

Through the collaboration of Kawartha Lakes Food Source, The Salvation Army Lindsay, Kawartha Lakes Food Coalition, and the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, this program is providing lunch to any elementary-aged child who would like one this summer. Last year, we produced 520 lunches – 328 distributed to children and the remainder to A Place Called Home – and we are hoping to reach even more children this season.

From June 16 to August 20, lunches will be distributed at King Albert Public School (49 Glenelg St. Lindsay) from 11am-12pm and Queen Victoria Public School (11 John St. Lindsay) from 12:30-1:30pm every Wednesday and Friday. Although these two schools are our distribution points, any elementary-aged child is invited to pick up a lunch, no questions asked. Our meals are free and healthy, consisting of a sandwich/ wrap, fruits and veggies, cheese or yogurt, and a healthy baked treat.

No registration is required: children and/or guardians can simply drop by the school to pick up a bagged lunch. Social distancing and further COVID safety protocols will be followed on site, and if a child is sick, we request that someone pick up a lunch on their behalf.

For further information or to donate to the Summer Outreach Lunch Program, please contact Kawartha Lakes Food Source at (705) 324-0707 or The Salvation Army Lindsay at (705) 878-5331 EXT 2.

Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton-Kawartha LakesBrock has announced that 3,978 homes and businesses in Bobcaygeon will be able to connect to natural gas for the first time through the province’s Natural Gas Expansion Program.

Under Phase 2 of the program, Ontario will allocate $68,029,650 to support new connections to the natural gas distribution system and help make life more affordable in Bobcaygeon.

“Our government is continuing to deliver affordable energy by expanding natural gas pipelines to more communities,” said Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock. “Access to natural gas will help more families and businesses find energy savings, while promoting economic development and job creation”.

The Ontario government is expanding access to natural gas across the province to help keep the cost of energy low for families, businesses and farmers. Phase 2 of the Natural Gas Expansion Program will allocate more than $234 million to support approximately 8750 connections in 43 rural, northern and Indigenous communities.

“As part of our government’s plan to make life more affordable, we prioritized broad distribution across Ontario to help as many homes and businesses keep the cost of energy low, support jobs and attract new investment,” said Bill Walker, Associate Minister of Energy. “With Phase 2 of the Natural Gas Expansion program, we’re putting people first and ensuring Ontario remains open for business. This will be a game-changer for these 43 communities.”

“Expanding access to natural gas provides an alternative source of energy that’s clean and affordable for residents and businesses in Bobcaygeon,” said Andy Letham, Mayor of the City of Kawartha Lakes.

“On behalf of Council, I’d like to thank the Province, and our MPP Laurie Scott, who has been a champion of helping Kawartha Lakes with the infrastructure support needed to continue to enhance services for residents.” “I’m very pleased that today is another example of Kawartha Lakes working with other levels of government to enhance services in our community,” he added.

“We’re thrilled that through Ontario’s Natural Gas Expansion Program, Enbridge Gas will bring much needed and wanted natural gas in the most affordable way to more communities across Ontario, including this one,” said Cynthia Hansen, Executive Vice President & President, Gas Distribution & Storage, Enbridge Inc. “Natural gas is the most economic way to heat buildings and water, and we are excited to work with local officials and the community to move this project forward, so residents can benefit from the cost savings, and local businesses can be more competitive.”

Construction for projects under Phase 2 will begin as soon as this year, with all 28 expansion projects expected to be underway by the end of 2025.

DIGITAL CLINIC INFO SYSTEM AT RMH

Ross Memorial Hospital, along with six other hospital organizations representing 14 hospitals in Ontario’s central east region, are partnering to deliver a new, digital clinical information system (CIS). Once implemented, each of the 1.5 million people in the central east region who receive hospital care will have a single, unified personal health record across the partner hospitals.

The new regional CIS means: • One digital record for each patient across seven hospital organizations in the central east region • Patient access to a user-friendly and secure portal called MyChart to view their health information and upcoming appointments • Implementation of evidence-based best practices

OTF GRANT HELPS THE GROVE

In 2019, the Kawartha Works Community Co-op received a $143,700 Capital grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to build The Grove Theatre, the first-ever outdoor amphitheatre in Fenelon Falls.

On Friday, MPP Laurie Scott and Tom Rowden, a volunteer with the Ontario Trillium Foundation, met with members of the group to hear about its ongoing construction and that when finished, how the beautiful stage will further bolster the vibrant arts and culture sphere of the Kawartha Lakes for many years to come.

“This is great news for our local arts organizations and talented community members as well as visitors to the Kawartha Lakes Region,” said Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock. “Thank you to the community members who made this vision come to life and I can’t wait to watch a performance in this outstanding new outdoor venue.”

The Grove Theatre is deeply invested in the social,

cultural and economic development of Fenelon Falls and prioritizes its relationship with the local community.

The amphitheatre will allow the community increased access to high-quality, professional productions, community events, and employment opportunities.

“This outdoor amphitheatre, like all of the Coop’s projects, relies heavily on community support for success,” said Jim Armstrong, President of Kawartha Works Community Co-op. The Grove Theatre needs your support to finalize the site and prepare for programming in August! Fundraising efforts will continue into the summer to ensure a successful opening of the site, which would not have been possible without the initial OTF Capital grant.

This beautiful outdoor amphitheatre is a significant addition to Fenelon Falls and the surrounding area.

And thanks to the grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, people of all abilities and talents will be able to set foot on the stage and site. In addition to community focused programming in August, The Grove Theatre will be available to rent for everything from dance recitals and concerts to faith services, meetings and celebrations of all kinds.

If you wish to volunteer, donate or book a tour, please visit the website at www.grovetheatre.ca.

The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) 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.

HEALTH UNIT ENCOURAGES CONTINUED CAUTION

As the province lifts a number of COVID-19 restrictions for some stores, services and activities in coming days, the local Health Unit asks people to continue staying safe every step of the way.

As of 12:01 am on Friday (June 11), Ontario will enter Step 1 of its Roadmap to Reopen. In this first step, non-essential retailers will be able to reopen for limited in-person shopping, limited outdoor dining on restaurant patios will be allowed, more outdoor activities like camping, fitness classes and religious services can resume, and outdoor gathering sizes will double to up to 10 people. More information on Ontario’s three-step reopening plan and a complete list of what is allowed in Step 1 is available at www. hkpr.on.ca.

The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit says that while COVID-19 cases are trending downwards, the need to continue taking precautions to stop the spread has never been more important as the economy gradually reopens this summer.

“While we are pleased to see more services and amenities reopening, we still need to be cautious,” says Dr. Natalie Bocking, Medical Officer of Health with the HKPR District Health Unit. “As we gradually return to normal with more activities and options, let’s be sure to do safely.”

Dr. Bocking says an essential part to getting through the pandemic is to have as many people vaccinated as possible against COVID-19. That is why she encourages everyone age 12 years and older to book appointments for their first or second doses.

The Health Unit is adding more appointment bookings in coming weeks at its mass immunization clinic sites in Haliburton County, Northumberland County, and the City of Kawartha Lakes. People can book vaccine appointments by visiting www. ontario.ca/bookvaccine or calling 1-833-943-3900.

If individuals cannot immediately book a local appointment, they should check back as the Health Unit will be adding more clinic slots on the provincial booking system.

Area residents can also contact local pharmacies and their family doctors for vaccine options.

win $150 in gift certificates from the following local businesses: Huck’s Lakeside Bar & Grill, Style Your Nest, Kawartha Country Wines, Buckhorn General Store and Pizza Alloro.

The draw for the UTV will take place on September 24 at the BCC.

FENELON SCULPTURE PROJECT

Thanks to the Fenelon Arts Committee (FAC), the Fenelon Falls Rain Garden will soon feature two lifesized bronze canoe paddle figures participating in a portage. The FAC successfully raised $50,000 through a number of activities since last year.

The figures will create a procession through the park, an homage to the location’s history: a portage and gathering area of First Nations Peoples, the beginning of Fenelon Falls, forestry, logging and its current use as a recreational park.

In addition to Portage by James C. Smith, the committee has commissioned River Grove by Susan Rankin. These pieces will be mounted on limestone bases in the Rain Garden south of Maryboro Lodge: The Fenelon Museum, showcasing for all the deep roots of the arts community in Fenelon Falls.

The FAC is grateful for the support and assistance received from a number of organizations, including Fenelon Falls Powerlinks Committee, Fenelon Rotary Club, Community Foundation of Kawartha Lakes, Community Fund Fenelon Falls, The Fenelon Chest Fund, the Ontario Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries, and especially our many individual donors. FAC is part of Kawartha Works Community Co-operative.

The FAC is very thankful to our community and look forward to celebrating the installation of these works when it is safe to do so in the coming months.

Horoscopes

June 18 to 29

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) It may seem like you’re having extreme highs or lows, Aquarius. Feeling at a crossroads about a major part of your life? When in doubt, wait it out!

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) You have the ideal blend of patience and passion, dear Pisces, which has people willing to be around you. Stay calm and carry on!

Aries (March 21 to April 20) It’s time to tune in and listen to your intuition, but, Aries, continue to exercise caution. Use your energy and motivation to achieve your dreams. Enjoy your home and family.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) “Honesty is the first chapter of the book wisdom.”: Thomas Jefferson. It may be the best policy, Taurus, but it’s good to be a bit stingy with it around those who are sensitive.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Gemini, you need to make a plan before running too far ahead of yourself. You’ll want to break some bad habits and use your power to get results!

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Let curiosity, not certainty guide you, Cancer. But before you leap, take the time to conduct due diligence. Anything worth doing is worth doing right!

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Just when you think there’s no time for fun, an exciting opportunity falls into your lap, Leo. Let your imagination run wild! Put some distance from those who drain your energy, you won’t have time for the drama!

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Maya Angelou said, “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use the more you have.” Virgo, over the next while, dabble in an artistic or crafty project. Your creative muse has come calling!

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) What’s in your heart, Libra? It’s time for some straight talk but be careful that those around you see it for what it is. Take extra care to avoid stressful situations.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) You’re not the only person going through confidence issues, dear Scorpio. Once you realize this, it will help you find the healing energy you need. There’s no need to stop dreaming, but it could be time to put plans into play.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) When you’re bothered, Sag, it’s usually for a good reason. Don’t be spoiling for a fight; instead, focus on meditation and your emotional health. Interactions with your innermost circle are preferable to any big crowd hangouts.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Capricorn, your energy is all over the map, so you may want to schedule your life accordingly. Dial down the multitasking mania and be more discerning about what you say ‘yes’ to.

SALVATERRA RECEIVES AWARD

Dr. Rosana Salvaterra, Medical Officer of Health for Peterborough Public Health has received the 2021 Distinguished Service Award today from the Association of Local Public Health Agencies (alPHa).

“Dr. Salvaterra has been an incredible leader during the COVID-19 pandemic, whose tireless service ensured residents were protected and wellinformed throughout this challenging time,” said Andy Mitchell, Mayor of Selwyn Township and chair of the Peterborough County-City Board of Health. I cannot think of anyone more deserving of this award.”

The Distinguished Service Award is awarded annually by alPHa to individuals in recognition of their significant contributions made to public health in Ontario.

Dr. Salvaterra is one of three Ontario recipients of the 2021 award this year.

COMPOST ANYONE?

Did you know that you can divert 30 percent (or more) of your household waste through backyard composting? Starting June 9 and every Wednesday (while supplies last) from 9am to 12pm, residents can come to the Lindsay Ops landfill and get a free backyard composter!

In order to receive a free composter, you must be willing to provide the City with your contact information to participate in a survey in the fall of 2021 on your experience composting. One composter will be given per household, while supplies last.

Why use a Backyard Composter?

• keeps up to 30% of your household waste out of landfills • easy to use, can be used year round • helps the environment • compost will help your garden keep moisture in the soil after rain or watering • you will have less of a need for chemical fertilizers 16

June 18, 2021 - The Kawartha Promoter

• •

cost free and chemical free soil enricher provides plants with nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous What goes in a Backyard Composter?

Compost production requires a 50/50 mixture of green material (such as fruits and vegetable scraps) and brown material (such as paper bags). Green materials are nitrogen-rich and rot easily such as food waste whereas brown materials are carbon-rich and often fibrous. Each are equally important and play different roles in ensuring your composter creates successful compost. Other materials can also be added to your composter in moderation. Visit the City’s Diversion Programs page on their website to learn more about what goes in your composter.

Free wood chips are also available every Wednesday while supplies last. Bring your own shovel and containers for loading your vehicle. At this time, compost material is currently unavailable.

RMH REMOVES BARRIERS FOR CARE

Stigma, rapid access, transportation from rural areas – these are some of the barriers to accessing treatment for individuals in the City of Kawartha Lakes region who are addicted to alcohol or opioids, according to the Mental Health team at Ross Memorial Hospital.

To help address these barriers, Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH) started operating its Rapid Access Addiction Medicine (RAAM) Clinic in May 2021. The RAAM Clinic provides immediate access to lifesaving treatment by offering same-day counselling, addiction medication, and prescription therapies for people who are addicted to alcohol or opioids.

The clinic is staffed by RMH nurses and Peterborough Regional Health Centre physicians, who work in partnership with Fourcast, to ensure clients are supported through the continuum of their care.

“Addiction is still one of those things people like to hide. This program allows a venue to say ‘I need help’ and break down some of those barriers of access if you want care, if you want change, if you want to do something different,” says Marsha Coombs, Manager for Rehab and Mental Health and the RAAM Clinic lead at RMH.

Physicians from PRHC meet with clients virtually through the Ontario Telemedicine Network, and can prescribe treatment and medications that the RMH RAAM Clinic team can help pick up that same day for clients. Individuals can self-refer for booked appointments, or physicians, nurses, social workers, addiction counsellors and community providers are welcome to refer a client.

The RAAM Clinic plans to be a valuable resource in helping to prevent opiate overdoses and reduce emergency department visits and hospital stays for people with addictions.

The RAAM Clinic at RMH can be reached directly at 705-328-6064.
