OVER THE BACK FENCE

Oh Canada! Happy birthday to us! As the official start of summer holidays for families with school-age children, we know it’s the beginning of the busy season here in tourist country!

More folks in our restaurants, stores, parks and on the streets bring local businesses back to life! And don’t forget the boaters on the Trent-Severn Waterway who will also be strolling through town. Gotta love it!

Communities throughout the area are hosting Canada Day events inperson for the first time in two years.

That’s good news for the not-for-profit organizations who rely on the traffic to raise funds, so get out and enjoy them!

I had the privilege of getting back on stage last week, my first time in over two years! Since the pandemic started, I’ve been taking online improv classes through a group in Peterborough called Klusterfork. Linda Kash (the Philly cream cheese angel and a good friend), Pat Maitland and

her husband Ian Burns cooked up the group before the pandemic and hosted several events in Peterborough featuring improv comedy. So when the pandemic hit, they offered improv classes, with talented improvisors like Jack Mosshammer, Andy Massingham, Paul Constable, Jan Caruana and Lisa Merchant. I took several weeks of those classes, then had the opportunity to get back to it over the past few months. It’s a lot of fun, not only performing but laughing along with my classmates!

Speaking of theatre ... Dinner Theatre in Buckhorn is coming back ... keeping fingers and toes crossed. We’re hoping to perform A Red Plaid Shirt, the play we were working on to open in April 2020. Then something happened ... and we’ve been patiently waiting ever since. I may even know my lines by then! Keep your eyes on this space and the Buckhorn Community Centre website and Facebook pages for ticket information later this summer!

That’s all for now. Enjoy your Canada Day however you spend it.

Please be safe and remember, be kind! editor@thepromoter.ca

City Hall CKL COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS

The following are highlights of the Regular Council Meeting on June 21, 2022.

All minutes and recommendations from the Committee of the Whole Meeting on June 7 were received and adopted. Among the items adopted were a new Stray and Feral Cat Pilot Project, Artefact Policy, Cultural Centre Feasibility Study Findings and the renewed Long-Term Financial Plan.

National Indigenous Peoples Day Council acknowledged National Indigenous Peoples Day as a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Mayor Letham read the newly adopted Land Acknowledgement. Council adopted four new First Nations policies that have been in development with staff and Curve Lake First Nation over the past year.

Short Term Rentals Staff will continue to monitor and track complaints over the summer and bring back a report by March 31, 2023, with budget considerations and options to regulate and license short term rentals in Kawartha Lakes. In addition to the original motion, Council added the following: The Consolidated Fees and

Charges By-Law be amended with inspection fees at short term rental properties as follows per occurrence: First $112, second $225, third $445, fourth $894, fifth occurrence is double the previous fee.

Planning Advisory Committee Recommendations and minutes from the Planning Advisory Committee meeting on June 8 were received and adopted.

An additional motion was adopted on item 10.3.13, 344 Old Mill Road, Riwoche Society that Old Mill Road, from Pigeon Creek Road to the entrance to the property (including a municipal turnaround) be upgraded at the cost of the developer.

2021 Financials and Surplus The Treasurer’s presentation provided details to Council on the financial health of the municipality and the 2021 Surplus. The net surplus of $7 million is largely due to the uncertainty of the pandemic and the amount of pandemic funding that could not be forecast. A surplus of this size is expected to be a onetime occurrence for these reasons. The surplus was dispersed into a number of reserves to ensure stability of programs such as: • Capital reserves to ensure the maintenance of all existing City assets and new capital projects ($5.3 million) • Victoria Manor Facility Master Plan ($500,000) • Public works equipment and maintenance reserves ($1.2 million) • Modernizing and streamlining services for residents using lessons learned from the pandemic ($1 million) Council also approved four new Paramedics to meet current service demands.

Crosswalk for Murray Street Council approved a change of scope for the Murray Street Reconstruction Project in Fenelon Falls to accelerate the construction of a crosswalk at the rail trail to maximum of $100,000.

Commercial filming To drive economic benefits across Kawartha Lakes, the municipality has created a one-stop shop for film permitting and production. Council passed a By-Law to regulate the application process, conditions and fees for use of municipal property.

The next Council meeting will be held July 19 at 1pm. Public attendance in Council Chambers is available by appointment through the Clerk’s Office.

VOTE FOR THE FLAG Municipal World Magazine is running the first Canada’s Best Municipal Flag Contest and Kawartha Lakes’ flag has made it to the top four flags out of 64 contenders, and the only flag in Ontario in the finals.

The winner will receive the glory of being recognized for having the best civic symbol in Canada.

The winning municipality will also have their flag on the cover of Municipal World’s November issue. The deadline is July 4.

About the CKL Flag In 2007, a community contest was held to create a new municipal flag for Kawartha Lakes. The winning design was submitted by Daryle Anne Wright of Oakwood. The blue stripe represents the many lakes and rivers in the area. The green stripe represents the agricultural areas, as well as parks and trails. The sun celebrates Kawartha Lakes as a destination, and the evergreen trees represent the sustainable growth of the municipality.

KAWARTHA LAKES CIVITAN CELEBRATES 40 YEARS

Submitted by Hayley Phoenix-Winterburn

In celebration of the Kawartha Lakes Civitan Club’s 40th Anniversary, an event is being held on Canada Day Weekend!

Join us July 2 at 7 pm at the Civitan Club House, on the corner of Hwy 35 & Rd 43, in Coboconk. There you will have access to free ice cream from Kawartha Dairy, food for sale from the LunchBox, and live music from Joe McCool & Friends while waiting for the Fireworks, which begin at dusk! Admission is free.

Civitan International is a community service organization of men, women, and teenagers in 24 countries on 4 continents joining together to perform community service projects.

Our local chapter, Kawartha Lakes Civitan

Club, is responsible for many generous projects and deeds within our community - from our Annual Salvation Army Kettle Drive to various donations and sponsorships throughout our communities, including a focus on special needs children and sending local children to summer camp, the Coboconk annual Santa Claus Parade, and donations to children in need at Kawartha Lakes elementary schools to just name a few.

Every year they put thousands of dollars back into our communities. They are also responsible for restoration projects such as Canada’s Smallest Jail in Coboconk, renovating both inside and out. The Club graciously donated the wood stove within, and although some repairs have been made, the Civitan Club was sure to maintain the historical accuracy of the building so that we may continue to enjoy such a wonderful piece of community heritage.

KIDS’ SUMMER LIBRARY PROGRAMS IN CKL

Kawartha Lakes Public Library has an exciting line up of events planned for Summer 2022. The library has developed a variety of programs that kids and their caregivers can participate in anytime, anywhere, at any of the 14 local library branches as well as at home, online, on the road or wherever their summer takes them.

“Our summer programs are designed to inspire kids to explore the fun of reading which we feel is the key to building a lifelong love of reading,” says Marieke Junkin, Manager of Programming and Public Services. “Parents and guardians will appreciate our engaging approach to keep kids reading all summer long.”

The fun has started with the online registration opening for the Summer Reading Club. Families can also register at their local branches starting June 25 and receive a goody bag with treats and program information. Early registrants can enter a ballot to win a cookie decorating kit. Registration can be done online at www.kawarthalakeslibrary.ca/src.

The Library’s Summer Passport takes kids on a summer-long journey and features incentives to keep reading and join in special library programs and activities. Children can bring their passport to their local branch each week to collect beads and special tags that can be strung on a lanyard.

Special Summer Reading Club programs will be held at all 14 branches. This year’s theme is “Myths and Fairy Tales”. Library staff will lead children ages 4 to 10 through fantastic games, activities and crafts that promote a love of reading. Each branch is also hosting a special visit by some “magical creatures”.

These events will take place in outdoor spaces so that kids, their families and friends can gather comfortably.

Check the library’s Events Calendar for more details and program times.

The library has also partnered with STEAM Educators from Pinnguaq Association to host two free workshops at all library branches this summer.

Learners aged six and up will build confidence and enjoy hands-on learning while engaging with common tools, hardware, electronics and robotics.

The Library’s Take Home Packs have proven to be incredibly popular the past two years with hundreds of kids receiving a monthly pack. Kids can pick up a different “Summer Fun Pack” each week in July and August. The packs come complete with instructions and supplies for an imaginative craft that kids can enjoy almost anywhere.

StoryWalks are another project that Kawartha Lakes Public Library has recently introduced with tremendous feedback. Families love visiting local sites and finding pages of a kid’s book placed along a walking route. It’s a great way for kids to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. This summer the library will be hosting StoryWalks at 16 locations

within Kawartha Lakes.

Kids can also visit their local branch every Saturday this summer for “Enchanted Crafts”. Make a special creation connected to a popular myth or fairy tale. These programs are free and all are welcome to drop in at a time convenient to them. While you are at the branch, see if you can find all the imaginary figures that are lurking about the shelves as part of the library’s Fairy Tale Scavenger Hunt.

The library has made sure that it is not just kids who are having fun this summer. The library’s “Beach Blanket Bingo” for adults features challenges that will encourage anyone looking to boost their summer reading. Teens can sign up for a limited edition library subscription box curated with special summer goodies as well as a custom made reading list.

For more information on these and other library programs visit the library’s website at www. kawarthalakeslibrary.ca/events or contact your local library branch.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP

Before making waves at area beaches this summer, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit (HKPR District Health Unit) wants people to first see if it’s safe to swim.

The HKPR District Health Unit has launched its Beach Water Testing program for another summer. A total of 46 public beaches in Northumberland County, Haliburton County and the City of Kawartha Lakes will be regularly sampled for E. coli through the Labour Day long weekend. Test results for each beach will be updated weekly by late Thursday or early Friday on the Health Unit’s Beach Water Testing webpage and shared through social media channels (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram). Signs are also posted at local beaches, indicating if conditions are right for swimming or not.

Based on bacteria counts in the water, the HKPR District Health Unit uses a three-colour system to report beach water test results: Green (open), Yellow (swimming not recommended), and Red (closed).

“You wouldn’t go to the beach without taking your swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen, so taking a look at the latest beach water testing results should really be part of your beach routine,” says Bernie Mayer, Manager of Environmental Health with the HKPR District Health Unit. “We’re fortunate to have many beautiful lakes and rivers in our region that allow for swimming and other recreational uses. Being informed can help you avoid a bad experience at the beach due to high counts of bacteria in the water.”

E. coli and high bacteria counts in the water can increase the risk of getting eye, ear, nose or throat

infections, or make people sick leading to stomach cramps and diarrhea. A skin rash called Swimmer’s Itch can also surface, causing itching and redness.

There are a number of ways that beaches can become contaminated with bacteria. Storm water runoff, combined with sewer overflows, sewage treatment plant bypasses, agricultural runoff, faulty septic systems, and large populations of waterfowl like geese all contribute to water pollution. This in turn can lead to beaches being posted as unsafe for swimming.

High levels of bacteria can persist for up to 48 hours after a heavy rainfall, and bacterial counts can also be affected by high winds or wave activity.

Safety Tips • Appoint a responsible person who is aware of the hazards and essential safety precautions to be in charge of the fireworks • Carefully read and make sure to follow the label directions on fireworks packaging • Always keep a water hose and/or pail of water close by when setting off fireworks • Set off fireworks away from combustible materials like buildings, trees and dry grass • Keep onlookers a safe distance away, upwind from the area where fireworks are discharged • Light only one firework at a time and only when they are on the ground • Never try to light a firework in your hand or relight dud firework • Wait at least 30 minutes before picking up a dud firework then soak it in a bucket of water and dispose of it in a metal container • Discharge fireworks only if wind conditions do not create a safety hazard • Keep sparklers away from children because sparklers burn extremely hot and can ignite clothing, cause blindness and result in severe burns • Sparkler wires remain hot for several minutes after they burnout and should be immediately soaked in water to avoid injury For more information about regulations regarding fireworks, visit www.kawarthalakes.ca/burnban.

Since 2018, the Summer Outreach Lunch Program has prepared and distributed thousands 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 insecurity, 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 690 lunches -- 453 distributed to children and the remainder to A Place Called Home (125) and BGC (112) -- and we are hoping to reach even more children this season.

From July 6 to August 26, we will be distributing lunches at King Albert Public School (49 Glenelg St. Lindsay) from 11am to 12pm and Queen Victoria Public School (11 John St. Lindsay) from 12:30 to 1:30pm every Wednesday and Friday. Although these two schools are our distribution points, any elementaryaged 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.

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.

“The contest has had a great couple of years,” commented Pat Warren, Chair of Bee City Kawartha Lakes. “This year we’re looking forward to keeping the momentum going by expanding our Bee City community and network of gardens.”

The contest is open until August 31, 2022. All you need to do is take a before picture of your garden or container when it’s planted, an after picture once it has grown and upload your photos to the online submission form. Both old and new gardens can enter.

Winners will be chosen at the end of the summer and awarded in the fall.

There are a variety of planting tips and aids to follow to help you start planning your garden. For more information on planting tips, please visit the Kawartha Lakes Bee City website. Contestants are required to include at least one of the pollinator aids listed under pollinator-friendly gardens on the website.

Prizes will be awarded across a few categories.

Please submit any questions to beecitykawartha@ gmail.com.

“I find it so inspiring to see how many people want to help the hospital—both through the Ross Family & Friends 50/50 and by volunteering with the Auxiliary,” said Anne Botond, RMH Auxiliary President. “There are so many ways to play a part in patient care and make sure our hospital is the best it can be.”

“We’re so appreciative of the Auxiliary’s fundraising support through the Ross Family & Friends 50/50 and we’re grateful for all who play,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “With every ticket you buy, you’re supporting patient care in cottage country. Good luck to all, and thank you!”

50/50 SUPPORTS RMH PATIENT CARE

The Ross Memorial Hospital’s volunteers are pleased to welcome the cottage community back to the Kawarthas and they extend an offer of good fun with a good cause with its Ross Family & Friends 50/50 fundraising raffle.

Close to $70,000 has already been won by lucky participants, with the other half of the proceeds supporting equipment and capital needs at the Ross.

“We know that the friends and family of the Ross Memorial Hospital live both in the City of Kawartha Lakes and outside cottage country. So many people call the Kawarthas their seasonal home. The Ross is your hospital, too,” said Karen Simser, 50/50 Raffle Committee Chair. “You can help make sure the Ross Team has the equipment it needs to provide the best care to you and the people you care about this summer by buying some tickets while you’re here. Give it a try and give back at the same time!”

In the 50/50 summer series, there will be more than $15,800 in prizes to be won with a new block of tickets. Tickets will be available for purchase online until July 28 on the Auxiliary’s website at auxiliary.rmh. org/family-friends-50-50-raffle.

The Ross Memorial Hospital Auxiliary thanks the Burnt River GALS – whose name stands for ‘Give A Little Support’ – for the donation of a beautiful log cabin quilt as an early bird draw prize in the Ross Family & Friends 50/50 raffle. The Burnt River GALS gather every Tuesday to work on crafting projects and good deeds.

Noni Campbell and Lilly Monaghan created the quilt for the early bird draw. It is shown here by Noni and Karen Simser, chair of the 50/50 committee).

The Explore Nature Challenge, presented by Kawartha Conservation, is looking for sponsors for the 2022 event. Funds raised this year will be supporting the Kawartha Conservation Turtle Nest and Accessible Playground projects at Ken Reid Conservation Area, directly contributing to our environment, our community and the families that live, work, play and visit here.

New this year, the Explore Nature Challenge will be open for participation at all of Kawartha Conservation’s conservation areas. The Explore Nature Challenge is a virtual fitness challenge where participants can walk/ hike, run or bike the trails at the conservation area of their choosing completely at their own pace. Whether they decide to complete the challenge all at once, or break it up into more manageable distances, the goal of this challenge is to motivate people to get outdoors, explore, and be active. Best of all, participants who complete the challenge will receive a participation medal, and have a tree planted in their honour.

To make the Explore Nature Challenge accessible to as many families as possible, we are reaching out to local businesses to help sponsor this wonderful community initiative. Tax receipts for sponsorship in your company’s name of $20 or more will be available. Donations of $100 or more will also receive recognition in all advertising of the event.

The Kawartha Conservation Foundation is a registered environmental charitable organization with a mission to support the vision and mandate of Kawartha Conservation, by raising funds, promoting awareness, and engaging the community to restore and sustain a healthy environment.

We thank you for your consideration. Details on how to make a financial contribution for this year’s Explore Nature Challenge can be found at www. kawarthaconservation.com.

RMH HONOURS BELOVED DOCTOR

There are people who are so passionate about what they do, their work is not a job, or even a career – it is a calling. Dr. Gargi Bhatia was such a person.

Dr. Bhatia’s life mission – to provide exceptional care to women and children as a skilled OB/GYN – has touched a generation of lives in our community, including local families, colleagues and friends, and her cherished family.

“Dr. Bhatia lived the hospital’s vision of exceptional care with every interaction,” said Dr. Bharat Chawla, Ross Memorial Hospital Chief of Staff. “Everyone at Ross Memorial is a better care provider for having had the opportunity to learn from Dr. Bhatia’s expertise and professionalism, and we are better people because of the personal relationships we shared with her.”

Dr. Bhatia’s family shares her commitment to the highest quality of care for women and children, as well as her philanthropic spirit. To ensure her legacy continues, they are making a generous gift to the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation. The Bhatia’s donation will help meet upcoming needs at the Ross and ensure patients have access to the most advanced medical technology and receive the best care close to home.

“For over 40 years, our mom has been dedicated to providing high quality women’s health for the City of Kawartha Lakes,” said Dr. Sacha Bhatia. “It was her wish that her life’s work continue to support the families in the community we call home.”

June 30, 2022 - The Kawartha Promoter

In recognition of the Bhatia family’s exceptional generosity, the Ross Memorial Hospital and Foundation are honoured to announce the RMH Obstetrical Unit will be named the Dr. Gargi Bhatia Family Birthing Centre.

Ryan O’Neill, RMH Foundation Chair, expressed gratitude to the Bhatia family. “During a difficult time, together you have focused your energy on Gargi’s passion – ensuring women have access to the best care possible – and you’re giving our community a gift that will touch countless lives, just as she did.”

Horoscopes Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) “In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike.

And no two journeys along the same path are alike.”: Paulo Coelho. And so, Aquarius, no two people are alike. That is why we must always be aware of our differences and accept them.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Some days we wish we could turn back time and live again in a lovely spot with no worries and just good moments, Pisces. And there are some days when it’s okay to go back there. But we always have to move on and find things to be grateful for today and wonderful things at which to look forward. Some days will be harder than others. Seek help where you can.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Now would be a good time to take stock of financial matters, Aries.

Make sure you understand where things are and where they are going.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) A change of scenery is always good for the body, mind and soul, Taurus. Take a walk around the neighbourhood.

Take a trip down memory lane with an old friend – or travel to the ends of the earth!

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Gemini, try to never hold a grudge. It is one of the most unseemly of acts. It will never lead to closure and is not worth the heartache to you or others!

July 1 to 14

By Melodie McCullough

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Slow and steady wins the race, dear Cancer. There is no need to rush through life – if you do, you will miss so much!

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) “The presence of a single bird can change everything for one who appreciates them.”: Julie Zickefoose. You may or may not be a birdwatcher, Leo, but you don’t have to be to understand this message: one special person is all you need in life to be happy.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Keep up old friendships, Virgo. It doesn’t have to be daily – but it SO important. Every once in a while is enough.

There will come a day that, if you do not, you will have regrets.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) By wary of pretenders.

Trust your instincts, Libra. They will guide you. It is better to be safe than sorry!

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Enjoy the summer, Scorpio! Every season has its good and bad points – but summer has more good than bad! Live it up!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) We sense you are hurting, dear Sag. Please know how much you mean to the people in your life. You are so loved.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan 20) Take time to relax, Capricorn. And if you are hurting, let yourself heal before trying to move on. If not, you will only return to the original pain.
