ATOTK (Jay Cooper): Hey Jonny, thank you for the invite to the cottage. You guys are enjoying beautiful summer weather. JONNY: We are, I can’t believe how hot it’s been. Going for a swim in the lake is like swimming in bath water. Also, I was checking out ATOTK magazines, which are just great. I really enjoyed the articles on off road trails, as I have been doing some off road riding around here over the last few summers. ATOTK: Kaitlin Kozell, your fiancé is so lovely and wow, what a talent. Lucky man and congratulations on the engagement. JONNY: Thank you very much and yeah she is very talented, very gifted.
Still Standing
ATOTK: Have you ever been mistaken for Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day? JONNY: (he laughs) You know I’ve gotten that a couple of times so it’s funny you say that. When Green Day were really big back in the 90’s I would get that but you know, I’ll take it. ATOTK: What do you love so much about the Kawarthas? JONNY: You know I’ve been very fortunate to explore the area since Kaitlin and I started seeing each other. Her family has 2 cottages. Her grandparents, whom are both Slovenian, were Jonny, fiancé Kaitlin Kozell and their dog Macy looking for cottage property back in the sixties and bought a place on Coon Lake for less than 2 grand. Then some land came up for sale on Big Cedar, where we are now. It’s so cool to go out and explore the area and do some offroad riding with Kaitlin’s brother. I have these back road map books that show you all these interesting old roads and trails, neat little discoveries. It’s a beautiful area to explore. Page 24
