OVER THE BACK FENCE

The garbage issue in the Municipality of Trent Lakes continues to rear its ugly head (see Trent Lakes Council piece by Glenna Burns). I’d like to weigh in (no pun intended) on this.

Two years ago, the municipality changed the policy of the amount of garbage taxpayers are allowed to bring to the transfer station. The number of bags you were allowed to bring in was broken down into the four seasons.

Instead of being able to use our allotted 52 bags (one per week) at any time of the year, we were limited to about 12 bags per 3 month period. Anything over and above that in the given time period will cost you $1 per bag. I understand the reasoning behind that, given that our trash goes to Peterborough for disposal and with the population increasing in the County, there is only a certain amount of space for our refuse.

There was quite a bit of pushback from seasonal residents to this idea. Since they are only here for a few months, many felt they should be allowed to use any number of their 52

BUILD YOUR TRUST AROUND US.

bags over the course of the time they spent here. They pay the same amount in property taxes (some even higher for lakefront property) as the rest of us, so they felt they should be allowed to still use their total allotment when they’re here.

The bottom line is that there is a limit as to the amount of garbage Peterborough County can handle at a time from the various municipalities.

What we don’t want to see is a repeat of the introduction of the clear bag policy when coloured garbage bags dotted the ditches and roadsides in the municipality. I think there’s a happy medium in here somewhere and I hope that Council gets on with a decision and down to the more important work of economic development in our Municipality. editor@thepromoter.ca

Fantastic news! The Downeyville Hall Renovation Committee was a successful applicant for a $100,000 Accessibility Grant from the Employment and Social Development Canada program. These funds will be used to make the new entrance totally accessible to everyone and to bring the handicapped washroom up to code. This means we have surpassed our fundraising goal for Phase One of the renovations!

We are very excited to begin the construction process. We are at the stage of getting the final detailed architectural drawings.

FEBRUARY 5 COUNCIL REPORT

The February 5 Council meeting was completed in record time, lasting barely an hour, but some key decisions were made.

• Councillor Yeo shared the tremendous success that Frostfest at Balsam Lake Provincial Park had been.

Sponsored by the Coboconk and Norland Chamber of Commerce, the event took place on January 26 and 27. Event staff created a 1.4 kilometre skating trail through the park, and over 2,000 people turned out over the weekend. Yeo thanked staff at Public Works and Parks and Recreation for their assistance.

• Councillor Ashmore let Council know that Dan Davies, a local 17 year old resident, was involved in a serious car accident in late January. Dan is receiving treatment in Toronto, and a GoFundMe page has been set up in Dan’s name to help the family with unexpected expenses.

• Councillor O’Reilly announced that the LEX grounds will be hosting the Kawartha Snow Cross races on February 16. The LEX grounds will also be hosting an indoor triathlon on February 24, and the Central East Farm Show on March 6 and 7.

Committee Appointments: Don Thomas was appointed to the Kawartha Lakes Police Services Board for the next four years, while Michelle Murphy-Ward, Adam Shea, and Sean Westland were appointed to the Agricultural Development Advisory Board for a term ending December 31, 2022.

New sign for Rosedale: Diane Hunt, a member of the Residents for Rosedale, told Council that the group has been working with the Ministry of Transportation about installing new signage for Rosedale. Ms. Hunt shared that the Ministry of Transportation was prepared to install the sign free of charge, but the installation must be endorsed by Council. Council moved that the design and installation of the sign be approved as outlined in the report from Ms. Hunt.

Traffic Control – Hartley and Lorneville Road: Scott Ribalkin provided an overview of traffic issues currently being experienced by the residents living on

those roads. Mr. Ribalkin said that speeding is common place, and that there is a definite safety risk posed if the roads remain the way that they are. Residents in the area would like a four-way stop installed at the intersections of Hartley Road and Lorneville Road.

After some discussion, in a motion by Councillor Veale and seconded by Councillor Dunn, the City approved the following upgrades. Written speed warnings and rumble strips will be painted on the road. Additional speed signage will be added, and Public Works will be instructed to install four-way stop signs at Hartley Road and Lorneville Road.

Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region: In what may have the greatest impact on development and growth in the City of Kawartha Lakes, the City has requested that a letter be sent to Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Steve Clark to have the CKL removed from the 2017 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region. Once exempted, the City will rely on the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement and City Official Plans to implement planning related matters. CKL has joined Northumberland and Peterborough County in this request for exemption from a plan that treated all affected regions as urban, assuming urban infrastructures are easily accessible, and requiring urban expectations for acceptable development.

City Procurement from Quarter 3 and 4, 2018 • Logie Street Park from Capital Reserves - $82,017 • Logie Street Park from Development Charges – Parks - $738,160 • City Hall Council Chamber Renovations from Capital Reserves - $37,918 • Stone wall at the Boyd Building in Bobcaygeon from Capital Reserves - $34,451.20 Engineering services for Colborne Street in Fenelon Falls: Ainley Consulting was selected and awarded the engineering plans tender on Colborne Street in Fenelon Falls at a cost of $101,115 + HST. With these issues effectively dealt with, the bulk of Council time coming up will be focused on debating and approving the Operating Budget. Senior staff hopes to have the final budget put to bed by month’s end.

Trent Lakes Council Notes

By Glenna Burns

• In a ‘Notice of Motion’ presented by Councillor Carol Armstrong regarding an apparent conflict of interest, Council directed staff “to provide a recommendation for separating the roles of Municipal Legal Counsel and Accountability Officer (Integrity Commissioner).” Currently John Ewart, from Ewart O’Dwyer law firm in Peterborough, holds both those positions in Trent Lakes.

• Pete Clarkson, representing the Buckhorn Sports Complex Committee, asked Council to support research to install an ice-making system into the Buckhorn Sports Complex arena. He emphasized that this would be a costly endeavour and won’t happen unless the Municipality supports it financially.

Councillor Terry Lambshead said that because of climate change (creating unstable conditions for winter ice), “we have to do something.” Council agreed to support moving forward on this issue.

• Brian Raymond, Trent Lakes Chief Building Official, presented Council with a ‘Tree Canopy Protection Policy’, stemming from the Provincial Bill 68.

Councillor Carol Armstrong felt the policy needed more power to address issues of clear cutting. The policy will be amended and brought back to Council on February 19.

GARBAGE ISSUE A POLITICAL FOOTBALL

The political football of garbage and how much of it one should be allowed to generate was a topic of discussion at Trent Lakes Council meeting on February 5.

During the lead up to the municipal election last autumn, Mayor Janet Clarkson, Deputy Mayor Ron Windover and Councillor Carol Armstrong all spoke to the anger and frustration of some seasonal residents who feel cheated as taxpayers because they can’t leave more garbage at the waste transfer stations.

As a result of what appeared to be election promises, staff was advised to have the Waste Management Committee look into the waste management card program for solutions to placate some electors.

Tara Stephen, manager for Peterborough County Waste Management, warned Council that “Waste generation habits are getting out of control.” People are not getting the message that there will be no new landfills for garbage or landfill expansions.

Stephen reminded the new Council that with one-bag limits per week, it cost County landfills just over $1.35 million annually. With a two-bag limit that doubles to more than $2.7 million.

“Comprehensive diversion programs are made available to County residents, but unless they are motivated to use them…well…they don’t.” Stephen went on to further explain to Council that it is up to the municipalities to help lead the way because, “it’s time to shift away from encouraging people to recycle to asking people to think hard about their consumption habits.”

There was little discussion by Council on this presentation and instead increasing the number of bags of waste for seasonal residents became the main issue.

The bigger issues presented to Council to reduce garbage at landfills remains to be addressed.

United Way VEGGIES FOR VETS

This United Way CKL project is funded in part by the Government of Canada’s New Horizon for Seniors Program which provides grants for projects that make a difference in the lives of seniors and in their communities.

“We are very proud of the impact our project has created,” said Project Manager, Elly Millington.

“We have seen huge growth in attendance at our technology workshops, and the garden outreach has been spectacular. Our original goal was to connect with a few Legions in our area so that we may create mutually beneficial relationships: providing them with garden beds to offer physical activity to those who tend the gardens, while simultaneously offering technology workshops to improve social inclusion among participants. We were successful in not only connecting with four Legions in our area, but we also partnered with Food Banks, Food Centres, Community Kitchens, and community agencies to expand our reach and continue the project when funding ends.

Along with growing their own food, an increasing number of seniors are participating in social media: most see it as a way to connect with their friends, family members, and younger generations.

not know where to begin.

“A lot of the seniors taking our classes don’t know what they don’t know,” said Workshop Facilitator, Josh Webster. “These skills allow them to better participate in the growing world of social media and technology, hopefully lessening the risk of becoming a social recluse, especially for those living in rural areas.”

There are two more workshops at the Lindsay Legion that should be interesting. On March 6, they’ll be talking about Social Media and Cyber Security, offering tips on how to keep yourself safe online, including emails, online banking and social media safety. On March 13, it’s Intro to Computers 1 and 2, where participants can ask questions and get answers including about how to do simple tasks in word processing software.

YOUTH COMPETITIONS

To underscore their commitment to youth in the community, the United Way City of Kawartha Lakes is hosting two competitions for young people between the ages of 15 and 24.

According to their website, these competitions offer incredible opportunities to local youth: giving our most talented youth the chance to network, gain experience, and have their name on a massive project with several leading stakeholders.

Health & Wellness TWO NEW DOCS AT RMH

Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH) is pleased to welcome two new physicians to their team of Hospitalists.

A Hospitalist is a doctor who looks after hospitalized inpatients who don’t have a family physician or whose physicians don’t have privileges in this Hospital.

Dr. Sadia Munawar and Dr. Nathan Shepard began working at RMH last fall. Before moving to Lindsay, Dr. Munawar was practising in Maine and Dr. Shepard was practising in Alabama. The physicians have family connections in Ontario, which prompted their interest in relocating from the United States.

This is welcome news at the Ross Memorial. The Hospital has experienced a shortage of Hospitalists for the past few years.

The recruitment of both physicians was the result of a collaborative effort by the Ross Memorial Hospital and HealthForceOntario, a government agency that supports physician recruitment and retention.

“Without HealthForce Ontario, I would never have found the open position at Ross Memorial Hospital,” said Dr. Shepard. “I was planning a move to Ontario, but was completely unfamiliar with the area.”

Dr. Munawar is also excited to be part of the Ross Team. “I’m grateful for the partnership between RMH and HFO to make the transition from the US to Canada as smooth as possible.”

ACTIVE AGAIN

Submitted by Dennis Geelen

Six recreation providers have come together in Fenelon Falls to offer a brand-new way for City of Kawartha Lakes (CKL) residents to access new activities. Program participants will have the opportunity to participate in up to six activities in the spring and summer of this year.

Coordinated by the Kawartha Lakes Sport and Recreation Council (KLSRC), the multi-activity Active Again program will provide participants with a few skill-building sessions of each activity.

Program providers include the Kawartha Cycling Club, Fenelon Falls Curling Club, Lindsay Rugby Football Club, Fenelon Yoga, Fenelon Falls Pickleball, and Nordic Pole Walking. The KLSRC is facilitating a collaborative approach to developing the program in partnership with the Kawartha Cycling Club – lead applicant on a successful Ontario Trillium Foundation grant. Through the pooling of resources and grant funds, enrolling in the 7-month program will only cost $50 to $70 per participant.

All activities will be adapted through the use of different rules or adaptive equipment and will be of special interest to older adults, persons with disabilities, or adults who are getting active again.

Interested participants can visit www.klsrc.ca to register and to learn more about the program.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Learn the virtue of compromise, Aquarius.

It can mean the difference between actually getting something done and having something stall for ages!

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) This time of year – when winter is still here and it seems like it will never end – is a good time for “contemplation”, dear Pisces. It’s a time to ponder what has gone before, and how you will spend the days ahead.

LETS TALK ABOUT YOUR INSURANCE sponsored by Stewart Morrison Insurance

5 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF IF YOU THINK YOU NEED FARM INSURANCE:

From large commercial operations to small hobby farms, we understand that every farm is unique and therefore your coverage should be too. Even if you do not use your farm to generate income, you may have found yourself wondering “do I need farm insurance?” If you answer “yes” to even one of these questions, there is a very good chance that you require a specialized policy to fit your farm’s needs:

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Imagination. Can we really let it ‘run wild’?

Of course, we can! It’s an invitation to dream, and points the way to great things. But we must also remember to come back down to earth every so often in order to get those great things done!

1. Do you grow and sell any crops?

Growing and selling any fruits, vegetables, grains or other cash crops will require you to have a farm policy in place to cover your agri-products; while on the farm or out at market.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Sometimes, Gemini, we have to let go of our ideas of what the future SHOULD be and just LET it be. Let the possibility of a new, different and exciting life unfold – and don’t get stuck thinking about the SHOULDS.

2. Do you have any farm animals on your property?

Livestock such as cattle, poultry, alpaca, sheep, swine, horses, etc., can only be protected un-der the coverage offered in a farm policy.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) When young children want their needs met, they seek attention. Most people know that. Guess what? Adults can act the same way, Cancer. What appears as nagging may be an attention-getter – they need you! So, why not show some interest and see what happens?

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) These are the tough days, Leo. The holidays are over, and Spring is yet to show any signs of appearing. So, make the most of what you’ve got, and know the warm days will come soon enough.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) So many things in life come unexpectedly, Virgo. And, when they do, we think we will never be able to accept them.

But, be assured, with time we DO ‘get used to’ these changes, and usually adapt quite well.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) The number ‘eight’ may play a significant role in the coming days of this zodiac phase, Libra. Tune in to numerical signs – but, don’t ‘count’ on the symbolism being revealed to you. It could be very subtle.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Scorpio, we sense that you are aware of certain aspects of your life that need changing or improving. Getting mad at others is not going to make things happen. Only YOU can do this, so, stop lingering!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Your work is pulling you down, dear Sag. If you really think you want to leave, do it, but – and this is a big but – don’t do it in haste or while angry or anxious. Plan an exit strategy, and don’t just leave a place – make sure you are heading SOMEWHERE, too.

3. Do you have any outbuildings or barns on your property?

If you own acreage, you will probably have a barn, riding arena, or other outbuilding on your land. Often these buildings are used to store crops, farm machinery or house animals - in the event that something were to damage your outbuilding, and its contents, you will only find pro-tection under a farm insurance policy.

4. Do you own farm machinery?

Tractors, combines and other self-propelled implements are expensive tools that are often re-quired in daily farming life. A farm policy would cover cost of repairs to damage that could result while in operation. In addition, if you ever take your tractor out on the open road, even if just to cross the street, a farm liability will cover you in the event of an accident.

5. Do you rent your land to a farmer?

While you may not conduct any farming operations on your land, you may rent it to someone who does.

Your land is still your responsibility, and you will need to protect yourself with farm liability coverage.

We are farm specialists and can help you find the right policy, and protection for your needs. If you have questions, we have answers; call us and let’s talk about your insurance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) The February blues can really do a number on you, Capricorn. You must force yourself to get out of the house/ office and exercise. Don’t forget to eat well, sleep well, meditate if you can – and, most importantly, find someone to whom you can talk!

FARMING IN THE CITY OF KAWARTHA LAKES

According to the Census of Agriculture 2016, there were 1,265 farms in Kawartha Lakes with 168,272 acres in crop production and 25,225 acres in pasture. This represented a 3.5 percent increase in the land in crop production as well as a 23 percent drop in the acres used for pasture between 2011 and 2016.

Sales of farm products in Kawartha Lakes continued to increase. In 2015, sales reached more than $149.5 million, up from $110 million in 2010. This represented a 40 percent increase in sales receipts. However, also increasing was the capitalization of farms in Kawartha Lakes. There were 489 farms with more than $1 million of capitalization, which is up by 186 farms from 2011.

Kawartha Lakes farms were still primarily family businesses; 89.9 percent were either sole proprietorships or partnerships, and only 1.3 percent of farms were non-family corporations.

Most notably, the number of family corporations had almost doubled with 8.7 percent of businesses held by family corporations, up from 4.9 percent in 2011.

Good Stories from Curve Lake First Nation

MIIGWECH WAAWAASHKESHI (DEER)

As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka

The most important part of the preparation for the hunt is to be able to say a few words to the spirit of the animal you are hunting.

A way that is respected and taught by our people is that SEMAA (tobacco) be given to that spirit. One puts tobacco into the fire, or other places if there is no fire such as at the base of trees or into the water, to be carried up and eventually accepted by the spirit of the animal as a gift from you – the hunter. So that’s important to do.

If you prepare in this way, what will be gifted is that animal. That animal will present itself and be ready to sacrifice itself in order for you to have food.

I remember one time I saw a buck standing on a hill in front of me through some bushes and it was standing on its side which I really wanted it to do. So I aimed and I fired. Obviously I missed because the deer did not move, did not flinch. Then I grunted, and the deer turned the other way broadside… and I aimed and then fired, and I hit it. And it died instantly.

But this shows how I believe that this deer was willing to give himself to us.

To honour that gift that the animal has given, we take a piece of that animal, usually the udder of the doe, or the genitals of the buck, and hang them on a

sapling with some SEMAA (tobacco) – to visibly tell the spirit world how thankful we are.

We also instruct the young ones to use every part of that waawaashkeshi (deer) for their use – even the hoofs can be used for decorative purposes. The ankles, the shins, and head can be skinned out and boiled down to use as soup stock. The antlers can be used for decoration and can be cut into pieces to use as buttons. The large intestine is used to make a special bannock that we stuff inside the casing and cook in the oven – a delicious meal. We also break up the bones to get at the marrow and the old people used to have what I called ‘marrow sticks’ in order to dig it out.

The bones themselves can be used for tools and for making scrapers to scrape the flesh off hides – which is really the best instrument to do that. The hide itself, of course, can be used for many purposes. The rawhide is used for ornaments and ceremonial objects like drums and shakers. Also, a finished hide is used for clothing and also for string, or rope, or tying material.

So in the respect of animals, and how they give so much that they make it possible for humans to live here, we are deeply grateful. It’s stated by the old people in the original stories that animals were here before we were and they themselves made the decision to feed us and look after us once we got here.

So it is important to develop a respectful relationship with these animals and, for that matter, other living beings such as plants and trees to remember how hard they work to sustain us and to continue life.

In fact, certain plants and trees will appear where medicine is needed by humans….but that is another story.

Let us work some magic for you.

SHOPPING STYLE FOOD BANK

Kawartha Lakes Food Source (KLFS) is opening of its new food bank program called the Lindsay Community Food Market.

The Lindsay Community Food Market will operate with a shopping style model. This means clients will be able to choose foods based on their preference.

Heather Kirby, General Manager of KLFS said, “Single moms with kids need different food than a senior living alone. Some of our clients only have access to a microwave and others can use a stove so the food they need will also depend on how they can cook it.”

Kirby noted, “A shopping style model follows best practices as established by the Ontario Association of Food Banks. Best practices is about providing client choice and dignity and in turn reduce stigma related to food insecurity.”

The Lindsay Community Food Market will be located at Calvary Pentecostal Church at 125 Victoria

Avenue North. Opening day for the new Food Market is March 14, 2019 at 4pm.

After March 14, the new Lindsay Community Food Market regular hours will be Monday mornings from 9am to 12pm, Thursday evenings from 4 to 6pm and Saturdays from 10am to 12pm. The new Food Market aims to increase access to food by offering nontraditional hours.

The Lindsay Community Food Bank will receive food on a monthly fair share basis from the KFLS distribution centre in Lindsay. The Lindsay Community Food Market will be volunteer led and supported by the community. You can help by volunteering at the Food Market or donating to KFLS anytime.

For more information on how to help or to access the food market, please contact the Lindsay Community Food Market at lindsaycommunityfoodmarket@gmail. com or by phone at 705-212-9984.
