OVER THE BACK FENCE

Heading into Canada Day 2021, this year’s celebrations are taking on a very different tone. While we are grateful for many Canadian accomplishments and the positive aspects of our country and lifestyle, we cannot ignore the horrendous history of residential schools and the injustices committed by our forefathers on our Indigenous brothers and sisters.

For years, First Nations people across the country have spoken their opposition to the idea of Canada Day, that there were secrets hidden in the vault of the past. With the discoveries of mass graves on the site of residential schools, it’s time we paid more attention to the misguided and unacceptable philosophies of our ancestors.

We can say it was a “different time” back in the 1800s when residential schools were created.

Canada was in its infancy, with

religion and politics taking control of our development. But where was the moral compass and the teachings of the 10 commandments?

To treat human beings, especially children, with a blatant disregard and disrespect solely based on their ethnicity is inexcusable. And should not be forgotten or swept under the rug.

As we gather for Canada Day this year, it’s even more important to celebrate individuality, ethnicity and multiculturalism. We are not all the same nor should we be. We should all be treated with respect and honour. The standards we set as Canadians defines us.

Canada is recognized around the world as one of the best places to live. That comes down to many factors, but one I think is most important is our honour. Let’s use this Canada Day to honour the thousands of Indigenous children who should not, and will not, be forgotten ever again.

Take care out there this long weekend and beyond. Stay safe and remember to be kind to one another. editor@thepromoter.ca

Gypsy Moth Petition – Trent Lakes

Last Friday, June 18, The Pluard’s Lake Cottagers Association in Buckhorn launched a petition requesting that Trent Lakes and the County of Peterborough arrange for the spraying of the Gypsy Moths in 2022.

The petition will be presented to the Trent Lakes Council and the County of Peterborough Council.

Gypsy moths are one of the most damaging pests of hardwood forests and urban landscapes, defoliating a million or more forested acres annually. They have caused nasty rashes and are constantly landing or crawling on us when we venture outdoors. With climate change, these cycles are worsening.

The current infestation is in the second of a potential multi-year cycle. All the area oaks, birch, maple, pine, spruce and cedar trees are being stripped of their foliage and may not survive the year. The impacts are particularly acute on conifers that cannot readily recover once defoliated. It is possible the damage already done has permanently altered our ecosystems and landscape with recovery not likely in our generation.

This damage also heightens the risk of forest fires, which would be devastating not only to the forests, but

to wildlife, business, and personal residences.

The link to the petition is https://forms.gle/ Xp5nr5JC8VnY8XvH7. We are asking area residents to support our petition.

City Hall CKL COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS

The following highlights were brought forward for adoption at the June 15 Regular Council meeting: Free Little Food Pantry

At the June 1 Committee of the Whole, Residents Marina Hodson and Maggie Upton of the Kawartha North Family Health Team and CKL and Haliburton County Poverty Reduction Roundtable made a deputation to Council to seek approval on a free food pantry pilot program to be offered at the Library in Kirkfield to help feed those in need. The Free Little Food Pantry would also create an opportunity for local residents to actively and safely, socially engage in kindness and sharing by donating/stocking the pantry.

The pilot program was approved and passed at the June 15 meeting.

Lifecycle Extension Program additions Naylor Road, from Highway 35 to the gravel section, has been added to the 2021 Life Cycle Management Program to be funded from the Federal Gas Tax Reserve. Chase Place, Ferguson Drive and Eion Road were also added to the 2021 program.

New all-way stop in Omemee

A new all-way stop was approved by Council to be placed at the intersection of Sturgeon Road South and Mary Street West in summer 2021.

Tiny Homes

The correspondence and online petition regarding the legalization of tiny homes in Kawartha Lakes was referred to the Rural Zoning By-Law Consolidation process. The Planning Division is currently taking a close look at the existing 13 Rural Zoning by-laws in an effort to consolidate them into one. In the consolidation a variety of topics are being considered and the legalization of tiny homes was found to be best suited to be addressed during that process.

Planning Advisory Committee

The reports from the Planning Advisory Committee on June 2 were passed and will move ahead as recommended by the Planning Division.

COMMUNITY SPIRIT THRIVES IN COBY

Written by Jaxon Burk

Over the past year, we have seen that our community’s pride and commitment towards supporting one another has been unwavering. Time and time again, initiative has been taken to better the place we call home, and nowhere is that more exemplified than with the community’s dedication to

support the construction of the new Wellness Centre for Kawartha Lakes.

Much has been done in support of the project, from the creation of fun community fundraisers to thoughtful pledges made from private individuals or groups. This Summer will continue to be filled with opportunities to further the community’s growth.

Throughout the entire month of July, the Coboconk Beer Store is donating 100 percent of the proceeds from donations - both cash and empties - towards the construction of the new Wellness Centre. Donations of empties can be dropped off on the pallet outside the front of the store, while cash donations will be accepted inside.

Community pride is just as strong around Four Mile Lake. Four Milers Glen Wright, Chris Handley, and their families, teamed up to conduct the Four Mile Lake Matching Gift Summer Challenge! The group has pledged to match all Four Mile donations made towards the new Wellness Centre up to a total of $30,000!

It’s really easy to donate, and all donations are eligible for a charitable tax receipt. Donations of cash or securities can be made online at www.canadahelps. org or by cheque to Coboconk Medical Trust, PO Box 281, Coboconk, ON K0M 1K0.

We are so fortunate to be part of a community that cares for one another. If you would like to learn more about the new Wellness Centre or get involved, visit www.WellnessCentreNorth.ca or email jwilson@ coboconknorland.ca. We would love to hear from you!

GETTING ON STANDBY

Area residents can now add their names to a standby list for COVID-19 vaccine doses that may be available at the end of one of the local health unit’s immunization clinics.

Residents of Haliburton County, Northumberland County and the City of Kawartha Lakes can visit the website of the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit to register to potentially receive a vaccination at the end of a clinic day.

By providing their name and phone number, residents may receive a call to come to a clinic at the end of the day if there are vaccine doses remaining. This is not a booking tool. Participants will only be called if there are extra doses available.

“We know some of our residents are still looking to receive their first or second dose of vaccine, and

we are hoping this standby list will provide another option for those individuals,” says Dr. Natalie Bocking, Medical Officer of Health for the HKPR District Health Unit. “There could be leftover doses for a variety of reasons. Our goal is to ensure that vaccine gets into someone’s arm rather than be wasted.”

To use the standby list, participants: • must be a resident of Haliburton County, Northumberland County or the City of Kawartha Lakes • must be able to attend the specified within 25 to 30 minutes of receiving a call The standby list is open to anyone wishing to receive their first or second dose of vaccine. Anyone aged 18 and over in Ontario is eligible to receive their second dose of vaccine as long as the minimum interval outlined in the product monograph has passed (28 days for Moderna, 21 days for Pfizer).

How to Register • On the Health Unit’s website: www.hkpr.on.ca and visit the page: COVID-19 Vaccine – Standby List.

• Between 8 am and noon, residents can click on the links provided to register for a clinic they can attend quickly. Standby lists may close before noon if the list is full.

• Residents will need to register each day they are available. Lists will be cleared daily to ensure they are current.

• Residents should register for only one region/ clinic each day.

• Health Unit clinics offer one of Health Canada’s approved mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna). These vaccines are interchangeable.

The Health Unit will not identify in advance what vaccine will be offered at a clinic.

“As these end of clinic doses are not guaranteed, we still encourage our residents to continue to try to book an appointment through the provincial booking system, a local pharmacy or through their local family health teams or community health teams,” says Dr. Bocking.

Let us work some magic for you.

VIRTUAL CYCLING TOUR

The 18th Annual Kawartha Lakes Classic Cycling Tour in support of A Place Called Home (APCH) has gone virtual again.

Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 restrictions, APCH is unable to hold this annual group event in person. So, the Kawartha Classic event is going virtual for 2021! APCH is encouraging participants to safely walk, run, horseback ride, swim, kayak or cycle following government mandated rules, on or before August 28. There is no registration fee, however, anyone participating in an activity will be required to sign a waiver when they register. Those who wish only to donate do not need to register or sign a waiver.

You have the choice to register individually, create a team, or join a team to get your fundraising started.

Participants can get involved with new fundraising initiatives that go directly towards the construction of the new site: the ‘Furnish a Room’ and ‘Buy a Brick’ campaigns. All funds donated will receive a charitable tax receipt.

For the past 17 years, the Kawartha Classic Cycling Tour has been one of the largest fundraisers for the agency. APCH’s shelter provides temporary housing for youth, adults, couples and families. It is the only operation of its kind in the City of Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County. But, supporting this community has been especially difficult this year with the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The shelter, which has shared bedrooms, has not been in use from midMarch 2020 onwards due to physical distancing requirements. At that time, all of the shelter residents were moved to a motel on the outskirts of Lindsay in order to stay physically separate.

In order to rebuild the shelter with accessible, physically separate bedrooms, APCH is moving forward with the redevelopment of its own site at 64 Lindsay Street South. APCH has already secured major capital funding from the provincial government and the City of Kawartha Lakes, but further fundraising is needed! So, APCH has embarked on a substantial campaign to raise $1.5 million to support this new project.

That’s where the community comes in! By participating in the Kawartha Classic event, you are helping APCH to reach their goals! To sign up, create or join a team, donate, or learn more, go to www. kawarthaclassic.com.

HEALTH COALITION CALLS FOR CHANGES TO LTC

Conditions in Long-Term Care facilities are no different in the Northumberland, Kawartha Lakes and Peterborough from the rest of the province, three local health coalitions learned in a survey conducted this spring.

“Chronic underfunding and privatization of health care have had an increasingly negative impact, particularly in Long-Term Care, as has been made painfully obvious during COVID. Decades of underfunding, understaffing, poor working conditions, high levels of violence and a focus on profits over quality

care have eroded Canada’s system of Long-Term Care to the breaking point, leaving us tragically unprepared to protect the lives of our most vulnerable,” said Linda Mackenzie-Nicholas from the Northumberland Health Coalition.

“We are making every effort to bring and hold the public’s attention to an extremely important issue that has been exacerbated by a pandemic that has changed everything. This issue has been around for a long time and much has been promised but not delivered – time is against us,” added Peterborough Health Coalition spokesperson Roy Brady.

Kawartha Lakes Health Coalition co-chair Bonnie Kennedy added, “Those in power have ignored strong criticisms of the living and labour conditions in Canada’s LTC system for decades. But the research is unambiguous: for-profit facilities offer comparatively substandard care. In fact, the CMA recommended a transition away from private facilities as far back as 1984. It should come as no surprise that LTC homes were woefully unprepared to survive the impact of the virus.”

Collectively, the three area coalitions are calling on the Ontario government to implement the following measures: • End for-profit Long-Term Care homes, • Follow through on your promise to hire additional qualified staff without fast-tracking undertrained students or reducing qualifications, • Ensure all LTC residents receive at least the minimum four hours of direct hands-on care per

IPM CANCELLED

For the second year in a row, the Directors of the Ontario Plowmen’s Association have been forced to make the heart-wrenching decision to cancel the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo (IPM).

14

June 30, 2021 - The Kawartha Promoter

Having been postponed until October 2021, plans were well underway to hold the IPM at the Lindsay Exhibition Grounds and neighbouring farms.

In spite of the current decline in the number of Covid-19 cases, the Ontario Government has yet to provide large provincial events with the details concerning capacity limits and additional restrictions.

While the IPM plans have been progressing, these uncertainties make it impossible to proceed with an in-person event.

“The health and safety of our visitors, exhibitors, sponsors, competitors, volunteers and staff has always been our number one priority”, said Sheila Marshall, President of the Ontario Plowmen’s Association.

“While we fully support the health restrictions required to conquer the Covid-19 pandemic, the unknown stipulations for large events has made it impossible to proceed with the traditional in-person IPM”.

However, the Directors and Staff are currently developing events and options that will bring the IPM experience to our many dedicated and faithful volunteers, participants and visitors later in the year.

Once government regulations for large gatherings are made available, the Ontario Plowmen’s Association will be making further announcements.

The Board of Directors has confirmed that the 103rd International Plowing Match will be held in the Municipality of North Grenville (United Counties of Leeds Grenville) at Kemptville, Ontario. Scheduled for September 20th to 24th, 2022, the IPM will be centred around the former Kemptville Agricultural College Campus and the former Kemptville Agricultural College Farm.

CKL COUNCIL HEADS INTO SUMMER BREAK

Kawartha Lakes Council met for the last time on Tuesday, June 29 before taking a six week break over the course of the summer. The July 27 regular Council meeting has been cancelled, with the next regular Council meeting on August 10.

The schedule for committee meetings is as follows:

• The July Planning Advisory Committee Meeting will be held on July 14

• The August Planning Advisory Committee Meeting will be held on August 4

As the Special Council meeting came to a close, Mayor Letham had the following to say to Council and to Kawartha Lakes residents:

“Before we adjourn, I just want to wish everyone a great summer. Our next meeting is in August and it is planned to be in person, so get out, get your vaccine, get out on patios, support your local restaurants and have a little fun. If I can make one request, it’s just for everyone to relax. Try to enjoy a bit of the summer as it’s been a tough year for everybody. Enjoy yourself and take some time for your family. Have a wonderful summer and we will see you back in August, folks.”

All past Council, Committee of the Whole and other public meetings are available to watch on the municipality’s YouTube channel.

Horoscopes

June 30 to July 16

By Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Stay positive, Aquarius.

With the pandemic and dark news, life is troubling.

But an optimistic outlook can make a world of difference. Find things that bring you joy and focus on them as best you can.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Self-love is not just a gift to yourself, Pisces, it is a necessity. Without it your mental, physical, emotional self will always suffer. Take good care!

Aries (March 21 to April 20) No one is in charge of your happiness except you, dear Aries, as it depends on how you react to circumstances. In other words, don’t let the bad guys get you down!

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Feeling grumpy, Taurus?

Make the effort to be kind, to see others in a new light, and to reach out. There’s no better way to lift a bad mood.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Gemini, there is no right or wrong way to anything! Rather than trying to figure what’s right or wrong, do everything your own way, and life will be so much more fulfilling.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Actions speak louder than words! Sure, you can say ‘I love you’ 20 times a day – but do you SHOW your love, Cancer? We hope so.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Are you an extrovert or an introvert or somewhere in-between, Leo? It’s good know. If an introvert, you may feel out of place, almost as if you do not belong with the rest. Don’t believe it! You do belong and you are who you are supposed to be!

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) “Everyone smiles in the same language.”: George Carlin. So true, Virgo! So why not welcome one and all into our homes and hearts, regardless of what the face which smiles looks like.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Learn to change your expectations to align with what matters to you, not anyone else, Libra. You will experience a greater energy as you slow down and reach for what’s important.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Simple pleasures is what it’s all about, Scorpio – and there are so many things out there just waiting for you to enjoy. Friends, little children, nature all have so much to offer.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Taking one day at a time may sound simple enough to some people, but it can be extremely difficult for others. We understand. Baby steps are needed, and with hope, will add up to giant steps!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Bravery isn’t always witnessed by everyone far and wide, dear Capricorn.

It very often takes place in our ordinary, everyday lives in our homes and on street corners. But your bravery does NOT go unnoticed. You are strong!

OMEMEE WASTEWATER INFO MEETING

The City of Kawartha Lakes is undertaking a planning process for the Wastewater Treatment System for the community of Omemee. The system was upgraded in 2013. The intent was to increase capacity by replacing the spray irrigation system by a Large Subsurface Disposal System (LSSD). Kawartha Lakes has identified that the LSSD system is not operating at its expected capacity and measures may be required to ensure adequate capacity exists for future demands and growth in the community. Options being considered include continued operation of the LSSD in conjunction with the previous spray irrigation system.

The project is being carried out with the requirements for an addendum to the Schedule ‘C’ project under the terms of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) process, which is approved under the Environmental Assessment Act. As part of the Class EA process for reviewing the upgrade of the sewage treatment system, public comment during the evaluation of alternative solutions will be requested.

Kawartha Lakes is conducting a virtual public information meeting on Thursday, July 15 from 6 to 7pm. It’s a virtual Zoom meeting and you need to register for participation through the City’s website at www.kawarthalakes.ca.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

James Goodliff C a n a di a n a rt i s t

They are interested in hearing any comments or concerns that you may have about this project. Should you wish to ask a question, please send content in advance of the meeting to a member of the project team below. A public database of comments will be maintained and, except for personal information, included in the study documentation that will be made available for public review.

Parties interested in providing input or that wish to obtain additional information at this stage of the study are asked to submit comments in writing to: Mr. Tony Guerrera, P.Eng.

SUMMER READING CLUB

The Kawartha Lakes Public Library is excited to offer the Summer Reading Club this year - with a few twists.

The Summer Reading Club is going to look a lot

www.JamesGoodliff.ca

different again this year, but the library still wants to make reading fun with reading challenges for people of all ages.

Kids will receive a passport to track their weekly reading. The more they read, the more draw entries they will receive. They’ll get bonus points for participating in challenges such as picking up garbage or donating to the local food bank too. At the end of the summer, they will be entered into a draw to win a loaded gift basket filled with items from local businesses.

This year the library will be hosting small outdoor storytimes at all of its library branches. You will need to pre-register for each event so that they can ensure they are adhering to all COVID-19 guidelines. We will be keeping each outdoor storytime to a small number so everyone can be seated safely apart.

Registration for both Summer Reading Club and the outdoor storytime programs has begun. You can register online or by dropping by your local library branch. To learn more, visit www.kawarthalakeslibrary.ca/src The library also has a fun line up of neat weekly Summer Fun Packs you can take home with you. Pick up your weekly Summer Fun Pack at any branch (while supplies last) or download the instructions from their website to make it at home. Some craft packs include making a pom pom shooter, doing a weaving activity and more.

“We are thrilled that we are still able to offer the Summer Reading Club,” says Lyndsay Bowen, Library Specialist of Outreach and Community Engagement. “It may be a little different again this summer, but we are excited about being able to do outdoor programming and can’t wait to see some familiar faces come to pick up their passports, Bingo cards and the weekly Summer Fun Packs!”

The library will set up more storywalks throughout the city this summer, even a couple of historical ones for adults that will highlight our local history collection.

Themes and locations can be found on our website at www.kawarthalakeslibrary.ca/storywalks.

For adults and teens, the library bingo cards are

back again. A completed line in any direction will give you one entry into the end of summer draw. Completing the entire Bingo card will get you 12 entries! The library wants to support local businesses as much as possible, so the prize is a $50 gift card to a local business of your choosing. Bingo cards can be picked up at any branch, or downloaded directly at www.kawarthalakeslibrary. ca/summerreadingchallenge.

in 2017 and is awarded each year to volunteers of the Kawartha Lakes Food Source who: have been an active volunteer for more than three years; are a positive force within the community; and are committed to the cause of combatting hunger within the City of Kawartha Lakes. The award honors the contributions, dedication, and positive energy of one of our longest serving volunteers, Barbara Truax.

VOLUNTEER AWARDS HANDED OUT

In 2020, a group of dedicated, long-serving volunteers went above and beyond to help Kawartha Lakes Food Source (KLFS) continue functioning through the pandemic. Linda Berry, Cecylia Barr, Pat Gassien and Jennifer Styles showed great dedication in the face of unprecedented challenges, and because of this are being awarded the 2020 Barb Truax Volunteer Award.

In April 2020, when the KLFS volunteer program needed to be shutdown to keep staff, volunteers and community members safe, the group affectionately known to staff as the donation sorting Dream Team, stepped up.

Kawartha Lakes Food Source relies heavily on volunteer support, as the jobs are many and the number of staff is small. Without volunteers to sort the incoming food, KLFS would not be able to get that food out to member food banks as quickly. Linda, Cecylia, Pat and Jennifer, came in one at a time, wore as much PPE as could be fit on them, and continued their important work in the midst of those frightening early pandemic days.

The steadfast commitment through an overwhelming time was incredibly appreciated by Kawartha Lakes Food Source staff. Distribution centre services were able to continue through that harrowing time, in large part due to their help and we salute them for it.

CHECK OUT THE GLOBUS PATIO

With Stage 2 of the Provincial Re-Opening comes an exciting new option for audiences looking for their fix of summer theatre.

• Audiences can escape the heat for a night of friendly competition during Globus Theatre’s Trivia Night on July 10 • Join in on the laughs provided by some of Canada’s greatest improvisers during the Improv Comedy All Stars! on July 18.

For those who are more musically inclined, Globus Theatre has you covered there too.
