Local organizations that help others – the Food Bank, the Legion, the Lions and many more – reach out to lend a hand up to those in need. And when they have an event to raise much needed funds, or load up the local food bank, the community steps up to make donations. When visitors join in that effort, it warms my heart. After more than two years, things in our communities are getting back to “normal.” Events are happening, people are getting together and supporting those organizations that make our communities better. It’s more important now that we encourage others to get involved to help keep our neighbours strong. I am grateful to my community and proud to say that I live here. Someone once said, “When you show kindness to another human being you start a ripple effect that has endless possibilities for the number of lives it can potential impact.” Here’s to endless possibilities.
Since the pandemic, many people have moved to our area from the city. At that time, they came for the “isolation” and distance from the congestion. Of course, the beauty of our landscape was another driving factor. I’m sure many also came for the great sense of community – neighbours helping neighbours.Certainly in a crisis situation, like the pandemic, as well as the havoc occasionally inflicted by Mother Nature, our communities come together. After the May storm, when trees were downed and power was out, folks came with chainsaws to help their neighbours and clear roadways. Others offered spare generators to put lights on and freezers cold. Facebook, even with its flaws, was instrumental in helping people stay in touch and check up on one another. It’s one thing to come together in a crisis. It’s quite another to get a friendly “hello” when passing on the street. Or an offer to let someone go in front of you in line at the grocery store. Or helping someone who seems lost find their way home. That’s what makes living here even better, in my opinion.

All flares must be clearly marked as being Transport Canada approved and must not have expired. In accordance with Transport Canada requirements, flares are approved for four years from the date of manufacture. Typically, this means that you need to replace your flares every third or fourth boating season.
SAFETY MEASURES AND USE
“We’re constantly improving government services to make life easier for people and businesses,” said Kaleed Rasheed, Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery. “Digital renewal reminders are a great way to help people remember to keep their ID, documents, and licence plates up to date and to take advantage of our easy and fast online services to renew them in minutes.” It is important for Ontarians to keep their licence plate, driver’s licence, health card, or Ontario Photo Card up to date to ensure seamless access to critical services and avoid fines or penalties. It’s easier, faster, and more convenient to renew now than ever before. Customers can renew online at Ontario.ca/Renew in minutes. Those who need to visit a ServiceOntario centre in person can book an appointment at Ontario. ca/Appointment to make the visit quicker and hasslefree.Signing up for digital reminders is quick and easy online at Ontario.ca/Reminders or by calling ServiceOntario at 1-800-387-3445 (TTY: 1-800-2687095).“Signing up for renewal reminders via email, text or automated phone calls is an easy and fast way for people to keep their Ontario Photo Cards up to date. This initiative will provide Ontarians with more time to focus on what matters most, while ensuring these critical documents like driver’s licences, licence plates, and Ontario Photo Cards, are always current,” said Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Transportation. “Providing digital reminders is a great way to offer Ontarians choice about how they engage with important services,” said Raymond Cho, Minister for Seniors and Accessibility. “These free reminders help ensure everyone can receive communications in an accessible manner.”
The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit (HKPR District Health Unit) encourages residents to watch for blacklegged ticks that may cause Lyme Disease and mosquitoes that can spread the West Nile Blackleggedvirus. ticks and mosquitoes are categorized as ‘vectors’, which are living organisms (often bloodsucking insects) that transmit diseases to humans. During late summer and fall, and until conditions get colder, blacklegged ticks and mosquitoes continue to be active, meaning it is important to take precautions. “When it comes to preventing blacklegged ticks and mosquitoes, it’s just plain, old-fashioned common sense that does the trick,” says Richard Ovcharovich,
The Peterborough County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind members of the public that there are options to safely dispose of your expired flares. If they have expired or will expire during this boating season, you must replace them... it’s the law! In an emergency, flares can be very effective in letting others know that you need immediate help.
FIGHT THE BITE
• Check flares regularly and replace them before they reach their expiry date.
• Store flares in a place that is cool, dry, and easy to reach - away from any heat source.
• Store flares in a watertight container to keep them dry.
The Ontario government is making it more convenient for people to keep their governmentissued identification and permits up to date. Holders of Ontario Photo Cards can now sign up for free reminders by email, text, or phone call 60 and 30 days before it is time to renew, providing a convenient way to get notified when the photo cards are set to expire. All Ontarians are also encouraged to sign up for free digital renewal reminders for health cards, driver’s licences and licence plates.
• Never use or store a flare close to flammable liquids or gas (e.g., propane, gas, oil).
Hint for Boaters: While you must have enough valid flares on board to meet regulatory requirements, you can keep expired flares on the vessel and use them first if you need to attract attention. If they work, you’ve saved your newer flares. Dispose of them properly when they start to show signs of deterioration.
Flares are hazardous! Do not just throw them away. Dispose of old flares as directed by the manufacturer. If you miss an opportunity to safely dispose of your flares, you can hold onto them safely. Keep them in a cool, dry place, away from flammables, until the next opportunity to drop off your flares for safe disposal.
4 August 12, 2022 - The Kawartha Promoter SAFE FLARE DISPOSAL
• Always shoot flares into the wind and away from the vessel at a 45-degree angle so it will drift back over your position.
• If a flare does not work, dispose of it safely as soon as possible.
• Never point a flare at another person.
• Always treat flares as explosive devices. Please contact your local hazardous waste disposal company to check if flares are accepted. You can also contact local marinas, the manufacturer, or the store where you purchased them to enquire about collection programs.
• Train your crew to use flares.
RENEWING YOUR ONTARIO PHOTO CARDS
a Manager of Health Protection with the HKPR District Health Unit. His fellow Health Protection Manager, Bernie Mayer, agrees. “There’s never a good time or reason to be bitten by a mosquito or blacklegged tick, especially during the peak summer season,” adds Mayer. “Cover up, clean up, and check up is the best advice to reduce your risk.”
How to Cover Up When outside, use insect repellent containing DEET on your skin and clothing to ward off blacklegged ticks and mosquitoes. If the weather permits, wear protective clothing outside such as long-sleeved shirts, jackets, long pants, hats and socks. Wearing lightcoloured clothing may be better, as mosquitoes tend to be attracted to darker colours and blacklegged ticks are easier to see on the lighter material.

Branch 77 Lakefield (705) 652-7988
How to Clean Up To keep blacklegged ticks away, cut grass short and trim bushes and branches to let in sunlight. Blacklegged ticks prefer wooded and natural areas to live, as they can settle on tall grasses, branches and bushes, and then attach themselves to passing persons and animals. Once attached, a tick will feed on the host’s blood. The longer a blacklegged tick feeds, the greater risk there is it can spread Lyme Disease to a person if the tick is infected with the bacteria that causes Lyme. For mosquitoes, installing or repairing screens on windows and doors will keep them outside. Keeping grass and vegetation short is also recommended. Removing any standing water around a property that mosquitoes need to lay their eggs is also advised. This should also include cleaning eavestroughs and blocked downspouts that could hold water and become a mosquito breeding ground.

Before going inside, people should do a thorough check of themselves and their pets for any blacklegged ticks. If a tick is found, remove it as soon as possible. There are many tick removal products available, so be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. If using finely tipped tweezers, grasp the head of the tick as close to the skin as possible. Pull it slowly, straight out. Immediately after, wash the bite area with soap and water, or alcohol-based sanitizer.

Joining the owners will be the Plug ‘n Drive Electric Vehicle Discovery Centre, offering test drives to those who are interested. To accommodate the vehicles and visitors, Kent Street will be closed to traffic between Victoria and Cambridge streets during the 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. event. Soaring gas prices and climate disruption have seen interest in these cars spike. But they are relatively new, and potential buyers have questions. Can the savings in operating costs of electric vehicles offset the higher purchase price? Are there enough charging stations? Most of the owners at the event are members of the Kawartha chapter of the Electric Vehicle Society and can help answer questions like these. As part of its emissions reduction plan for Canada the federal government has committed to adding 50,000 charging ports to the more than 16,500 now on theJoiningroads.countries like England, Denmark, Iceland, Scotland and the Netherlands which have targeted 2030 to end new gas and diesel light vehicle sales, Canada has mandated that all new light-duty vehicles sold in Canada will be zero emission (ZEVs) by 2035 with an interim target of 20 per cent of vehicle sales by 2026. All major car manufacturers have been gearing up to meet such targets. Last year GM announced it will produce only vehicles with zero tailpipe emissions by 2035. Volvo’s target date is 2030. Some of the more popular EVs, including the Chevy Bolt, Hyundai Kona and Tesla, will be at the EVent on Kent. Bike Garage will also have some e-bikes on display. EVent has been organized by the Kawartha chapter of the Electric Vehicle Society, in conjunction with Kawartha Lakes Environmental Advisory Committee, with funding from the BIA. For more information, visit the website for the Kawartha chapter of the Electric Vehicle Society.
CHECK OUT A NEW WAY TO DRIVE
At least a dozen electric vehicles will be on display in front of the Lindsay library Saturday August 20 from 9am to 2pm for EVent – Electric Vehicles on Kent. Their owners will be there to answer questions about this new way to power a drive. Are they cheaper to operate than their gas-powered cousins? Are they better for the environment? Can they go the distance?

6 August 12, 2022 - The Kawartha Promoter treated with antibiotics, and the earlier this treatment starts, the greater the chance of a successful recovery. If a blacklegged tick has been attached for more than 24 hours or is engorged (meaning it has been feeding for some time), seek medical attention. You should also see a doctor if you experience symptoms of Lyme disease, such as skin rash, fever, chills, headache, stiff neck, and muscle/joint pain. Signs and symptoms of Lyme disease can vary from person to person after being bitten by a tick. From January to mid-July 2022, the HKPR District Health Unit reports nine human cases of Lyme Disease in its region (Haliburton County, Northumberland County and the City of Kawartha Lakes). This compares to 44 Lyme cases in 2021 and 30 Lyme cases reported in 2020. About West Nile Virus West Nile Virus is mainly spread by mosquitoes, so the best defence is to fight the bite. Four out of five people do not show any West Nile Virus symptoms. Others may see symptoms two to 15 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. Approximately one in 150 people will suffer serious symptoms. Individuals who think they have West Nile should see their health care provider. Since 2020, there have been no human cases of West Nile Virus reported in the HKPR District Health Unit region.

GOING BATTY Area residents are being urged to take precautions against rabies in the wake of an incident in which members of a local family were exposed to a rabid bat in their home. The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit (HKPR District Health Unit) says the affected family members were provided postexposure vaccine for rabies and are recovering well in the aftermath. The incident took place recently at the family’s home, where a bat that had entered the dwelling possibly exposed the occupants to rabies. The bat was captured, sent for testing and subsequently found to be positive for rabies.
GET CRAFTY AT THE BCC
Submitted by Colin Croxon In 1871, the closest Masonic Lodges to Bobcaygeon were in Lindsay and Peterborough. Many brethren had to travel from the surrounding towns, so they felt the need of a Masonic Lodge much closer to home. On September 23, 1871, a petition was made to Grand Lodge asking permission to form a Lodge in the Village of Bobcaygeon. In 1872, our first Lodge meeting was held by W.M. John Kennedy, our first Master. The first meeting was held in a room in one of the hotels in town. By March of the following year the Lodge membership had grown to 37 and the meeting location had become unsatisfactory. In due course, a suitable building on Mansfield St. in Bobcaygeon was purchased and for 20 years the lodge met at this place.By 1893, the Lodge had relocated and was meeting on the second floor overlooking GeneralCain’s store, which was located at Bolton and Canal St. where Bigley’s is now. On September 14, 1913, most of the buildings in “downtown” Bobcaygeon were destroyed by fire, including the Lodge Building. Most of the Lodge’s books, papers, records, equipment, furnishings and original charter were included in the loss.. The town was decimated. It is believed the fire started in the rear of the Dykes building in the Taylor Block that housed the Bobcaygeon Independent Newspaper and consumed half of the west side of Bolton St. In the interim, the Lodge met at the True Blue Hall, now the Nesbitt’s Funeral Home, which was then located at 75 Bolton St.
• As bats can transmit the rabies virus to dogs and cats, ensure your pets are up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations.
CELEBRATING 150 YEARS
9August 12, 2022 - The Kawartha Promoter with the HKPR District Health Unit. “Contact with any wild animal, including bats, should be avoided if at all possible. That message applies to people and pets,” he says. “It’s never worth the risk, especially when rabies is involved.”
On September 24, 1924 brother Sidney H. Cluxton passed away and in his Will, he left the Lodge funds that enabled them to purchase a beautiful stone building which became their new Temple. The first meeting there was held on August 28, 1941. 2022 marks the 150th anniversary of the Veralum Lodge, so a celebration of history and connection to the village of Bobcaygeon will be held on Saturday, September 24 at the Lakeview Arts Barn. The banquet will begin with a meet-and-greet at 6pm, followed by dinner at 7pm. The Masons participate in many community events and support local charities. As a district (of which there are 14 lodges), each decides one charity to donate to each year. Tickets for the gala are $65 each. You can get them and more information by calling 705-7385505. You can find out more about the organization Bobcaygeon.com/lodgeswww.victoriadistrict.atunder
• If you are bitten or scratched by a bat that is discovered in your home, leave the room, close the door and contact a professional pest control company or wildlife removal company. Do not touch a bat with your bare hands. If there was no human contact (bite or scratch), open a window and allow the bat to get out.
Rabies is transmitted when there is contact with the saliva of an infected animal through a bite, lick, or scratch. As in this incident, a post-exposure vaccine is available for humans in the event of contact with a rabid animal. If left untreated, rabies is almost always a fatal disease caused by a virus that affects the central nervous system of warm-blooded animals, including humans.Bats in the home can be a nuisance and potential hazard to you and your family, Ovcharovich notes. Bats are also capable of transmitting rabies to humans and other animals. Although most animal bites are readily apparent, bites inflicted by bats can be harder to notice, especially if it involves an infant, child, or those with cognitive impairments. When it comes to bats, the Health Unit offers these tips: • If you have bats living on your property and want to remove them, contact a professional pest control company or wildlife removal company.
• If you suspect you may have been bitten or had contact with a bat, immediately report this to your family doctor and the HKPR District Health Unit at 1-866-888-4577, ext. 5006.
• Bat-proof the home. If bats are found in the home, seek advice from an animal control or wildlife conservation authority. If doing it yourself, carefully examine your home for holes that might allow bats entry into your living quarters, then take steps to seal them. For instance, caulk any openings larger than a quarter-inch by a half-inch, ensure all doors to the outside close tightly, and use window screens, chimney caps, and draftguards beneath doors to attics.
• If you discover a bat outdoors that is injured, acting strange or dead, do not touch it.

Fleming’s Sustainable Agriculture program, based at Fleming’s Frost Campus, and United Way for the City of Kawartha Lakes have been developing the garden since 2019.
“This garden is a living lab providing our students with an invaluable, hands-on education and an experience that travels far outside the classroom,” said Fleming College President Maureen Adamson. “The work they are doing in Edwin Binney’s Community Garden benefits not only the students but the entire region. As many homes struggle with rising grocery bills, Fleming students are helping to supply fresh, nutritious food to the community.”

The garden plot was once an empty, unused lot owned by Crayola Canada. In just four years, Fleming’s Sustainable Agriculture diploma and post-graduate and Ecosystem Management students have helped turn the once vacant lot into a thriving community garden with a robust irrigation system and more than 100 fruit trees. In its first year, Fleming students and faculty with the Sustainable Agriculture Technician program helped produced 5,500 lbs. of fresh produce. Last year that yield increased to 16,264 lbs. of healthy fruits and vegetables. Much of that produce makes its way to 20 agencies and 10 foodbanks throughout the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) “Love is like wildflowers; it’s often found in the most unlikely places..”: Ralph Waldo Emerson. And, Aquarius, love is sweet and untamed, just like so many flowers that bloom by the wayside. We hope you find yours! Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) It’s time to get your head out of the sand, Pisces, and take a good look around. Check things out – not just what you WANT to see but what you NEED to see! Aries (March 21 to April 20) Curiosity is a great trait to have, Aries, that has played an extremely important role through the ages. So don’t let go of yours! Taurus (April 21 to May 21) It’s nice to be popular – “but it’s hell to be the rage”! Taurus, you may find yourself needing to pick and choose among numerous social invitations in the coming days. Lucky you, but choose wisely! Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Change is in the air, once again, for you, Gemini. The breezes are blowing and you will soon be on your way to a new adventure. Enjoy! Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Remember to look in all directions, take in all angles, before passing judgment, Cancer. There are so many ways of seeing things – and all are worthy.
Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) “You are the sky. Everything else – it’s just the weather.”: Pema Chödrön. You, Leo, need to remember this when things ‘go south’ as they, no doubt, will do from time to time. Keep believing in yourself. You’re the best!
Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) August’s full moon (Aug. 11) will be still bright and luminous for a few days, Virgo. It is commonly called the Sturgeon Moon but some Indigenous lore says it is the Thimbleberry Moon. This plant is said to allow us to understand the teachings of the Spirit World. But could it also be a time when you recognize the spirituality deep inside YOU? Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Is it time to unplug, Libra? Even just a little? Turn off your phone, shut down the emails, and take a walk outside? Why not? Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Don’t fear being alone, Scorpio. It is not the same as loneliness. Some solitary time is often good for re-examining our goals and dreams. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Your bright light continues to shine, flashing love and kindness wherever you go, dear Sagittarius. You are a gift. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Be still, dear friend and rest. Breathe deeply and long. Think pleasant thoughts. Live in the present -- not the past OR the future. 12 to 25 By Melodie McCullough- 2500 from - 5000 $150 - 2500 from $210 - 5000 from
