It’s that time of year again ... Labour Day next weekend, folks heading home from the summer house, and back to school for the kids. A big shout out to all the volunteers and organizers of events throughout the region over the summer that brought lots of people into the area. A lot of hard work goes into putting these events together for our enjoyment. And thanks to everyone who attended the events, too, and helped support local organizations.Butyouknow, it ain’t over yet! There are still plenty of events going on as well as local businesses and restaurants that need us. It’s Fall Fair time in many of our communities. The Kinmount Fair at the Kinmount Fairgrounds takes place September 2 to 4, the Lindsay Exhibition is September 17 to 25 at the Lindsay Exhibition Grounds and the “Daddy of ‘Em All”, the Bobcaygeon Fall Fair is September 29 to October 1. A whole host of activities with fun for the whole family including competitions, music, rides and games will put a smile on yourAndface!speaking of local, Fall is a great time to visit one or more of our Farmers’ Markets to get the best in local produce, meats and cheese!

CKL MUNICIPAL ELECTION UPDATE
At the August 23, 2022 Regular Council meeting, Cathie Ritchie, City Clerk, provided Council with a number of updates related to the municipal election.
13. What could be the impact on the community water supply in Alpine Village and Pirates Glen? Both communities are in a sensitive water shed area. No answer.
Questions and Comments By Councillors and Private Citizens
14. What could happen to the wells, the water table, and the surface water for the local residents with all of the blasting? I am sure I missed many points, but these were the ones that raised red flags to me. I was really impressed with the private citizens for their wealth of knowledge. They had really done their homework. They spoke with concern and passion. I just hope that our elected officials will think long and hard about this very important decision. They need to take a drive down Quarry Rd and Ledge Rd., like I did recently, to see for themselves how this proposed quarry will be devastating to this beautiful area.
8. Has anyone contacted the City of Kawartha Lakes concerning the impact these trucks would have on Hwy 36 going through Bobcaygeon? No answer.
The Promoter reserves the right to edit Letters to the Editor for length and clarity. Please include your email or mailing address and daytime phone number (not for publication). All opinions expressed are those of the writer. Hall
4. There are many beautiful properties down Quarry Rd and Ledge Rd where the trucks will be travelling. Many residents use the roads to walk their dogs, children ride their bikes, walk their babies, and children getting on and off their school buses. What protection will they have? Engineer answered: There are no sidewalks. There will be no physical separation. The shoulders will be widened or maybe just one shoulder.
5. Some homes are quite close to the road. How will widening the shoulders affect these residents? Engineer answered that they have 66 ft of right of way. If they need more, they will expropriate the needed land.
1. Truck traffic: 14 gravel trucks would be going in and out an hour, 148 trucks per day, beginning at 7am, finishing at 6pm, 5 days a week. “Assumed” trucks would have the capacity of 42 tonnes. Speed limit would go from 50 km to 40 km.
6. Has there been any discussion with the Local Indigenous Peoples? Council answered, yes and they will be meeting after this presentation for discussion.
3. Impact on the roads: Roads will be upgraded and widened. Blind corners will be taken out. The main entrance of Quarry Rd will be graded and flattened.
1. Will the trucks have pups, making the number of trucks double an hour? Engineer answered not sure, assumed not.
10. Part of Ledge Rd is a forced road and isn’t marked properly on the map. Being more like an assumed road, it will need a lot of upgrading.
2. Noise impact: Apparently 53 decibels is acceptable. No comments were made on blasting noise.
3. Did they use 14 full and empty gravel trucks to check the noise level? No answer
7. There are several quarries now. None of them go through residential areas like this area. It’s interesting that a proposed quarry was denied by Council down Lakehurst Rd, especially when Deputy Mayor Windover lives on Hwy 36 just up from the corner.
2. Were ATVs, SUVs, snowmobiles, dirt bikes, school buses taken into account for noise and amount of traffic on the road? No answer
9. Who will be monitoring the number of trucks, the weight of the trucks, the speed of the trucks, or the use of their J brakes? No Answer
11. Ledge Rd is a residential Rd with many homes. A few families have moved in for millions of dollars recently and were not warned about this situation. These were their dream homes. Buy us out!!

4 August 26, 2022 - The Kawartha Promoter TO QUARRY OR NOT TO QUARRY!
As an interested citizen in Trent Lakes, I recently attended the virtual council meeting concerning the proposed quarry on Dewdney Mountain property, down Quarry Rd., held on August 10. I listened to the Engineers with their maps and statistics. I listened to private citizens with their well- researched information. As each party spoke, I became more and more concerned to the point that I listened for 5 hours. Here is why: These facts were presented by the Engineers. Words like “assuming” and “generally” were used quite a bit, which is quite disconcerting to say the least.
4. The plans for the Natural Spring used by so many people: It can’t be capped, but it can be rerouted to the other corner of Quarry Rd, under the road. They also mentioned a well being dug. (Not sure how that will work.)
12. Has there been a current wildlife study to ascertain the impact on endangered species? There was one done years ago, but not a current one.

BOBCAYGEON RUNS FOR TERRY
HELP PROTECT OUR LAKES
The annual Terry Fox Run will be held on Sunday, September 18 across Canada. The Bobcaygeon Terry Fox Run Committee is thrilled to organize the return of this year’s Run (after two years of Virtual Runs) and welcomes everyone to support and participate in Terry’s Marathon of Hope. Again this year, the global pandemic has chanced so much about our lives, from how we work, whom we spend our time with, where we go. But it has not changed our desire to help others, to make a difference, to bring light into the dark, just like Terry did in 1980. The Marathon of Hope continues, and the message is timeless. When Terry was forced to stop his run, he said, “Even though I’m not running anymore people should go ahead and do their own thing.”
For more information, visit www. kawarthaartsfestival.com.
The show runs on Saturday, September 3 from 10am to 5pm and Sunday, September 4 from 10am to 4pm. Admission is free and, with a donation at the door, you could win some great prizes.
Submitted by The Land Between Whether you enjoy canoeing on them, fishing in them, or simply sitting beside them and enjoying the view, lakes are quintessential cottage country. Shorelands, in particular, are incredibly ecologically productive. They are a habitat to wildlife, support pollination, reduce erosion, and more. It’s no wonder they are referred to as ribbons of life! Lakes are, however, very sensitive to human activity both on land and in the water. Destruction of shoreland areas coupled with increased boating and pollution are all compromising the health and integrity of cottage country’s lakes. We need your help to protect our water. Aid us in the work we’re doing to keep our lakes healthy by making a one-time or a monthly receipted donation.
You can register online or in person as an individual, a family or a team. Visit terryfox.org to register or donate online, just click through to the Bobcaygeon page.
9August 26, 2022 - The Kawartha Promoter ART FOR ALL
The Kawartha Arts Festival was first held in 1989 and started off as a small collection of artists gathering together to give something back to the local arts community. It has since grown into one of the largest art festivals in Southern Ontario and attracts thousands of visitors each year. The Kawartha Art Festival is a non-profit organization run by dedicated volunteers. It is kept going by the generous donations given each year by the show’s patrons.
Our work within lake health includes our Blue Lakes Project, an ecolabel program and suite of tools empowering community members to care for their lake. This ecolabel is a recognizable seal associated with certain actions or conditions that are tailored to each lake and are achieved annually in order to remain enrolled in the program. As part of the Blue Lakes Project, we have also gathered and analyzed lake health data across the region to help participants understand trends and take action for their lakes. Our work also includes shoreland naturalization, where we work alongside lakefront property owners to design custom native gardens that ensure vital shoreland habitat on their property is productive and supportive! You can find out more at www.thelandbetween. ca.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Remember your place in other people’s business, Aquarius – there is no place! You will do yourself and others a favour if you mind your own!
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Take pleasure in life events – birthdays, weddings, births – that are happening in the next few weeks, Capricorn. Enjoy the company you may encounter and be happy for those who are experiencing these milestones.
Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Take heed of all incoming mail, either snail mail or email, in the coming days, dear Pisces. You may receive important information that will help you in your daily decision-making.
Taurus (April 21 to May 21) “We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.”: Henry David Thoreau. Hard work is a big part of accomplishments, but sometimes a little “leap in the dark” can be just as important, Taurus.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Don’t be in a hurry this coming phase, Gemini. Take things slowly and methodically. This will help get you through periods at home and at work. Multi-tasking isn’t recommended, either, at this time!
Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Perhaps it is time for you, Virgo, to make a small change. This small change in your behaviour or attitude or thoughts will often then lead to another change, maybe a little larger. As time goes on, each change can affect another – making big changes!
Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Slip-ups and relapses will often occur, dear Sag, but there are ways to help prevent them. Follow the well-meaning advice of others, believe in your worth and make realistic goals - with plans - you can achieve. Never be afraid to ask for help.
Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Cancer, try not to let summer friendships - or a summer love – fade away with the summer heat. Keep in touch!
Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) This can be a busy time for you, Leo, as parents of children or as education workers, heading back to school. For others, there is always the transition from summer to autumn mode. So be aware of stressors and take good care of yourself.
Horoscopes
Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) When love leaps out at you, Libra, don’t turn it away. You may have an experience like this during this phase, so, please, embrace it!
Aries (March 21 to April 20) Perfection is a false God, Aries. First of all, there is no such thing as “perfection”. Secondly, everyone’s idea of perfection is different. So, do not waste time fretting over being perfect. Do your best and be proud of it!
Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Remember to live for the journey, not just the destination, Scorpio. There is much to see, do and love along the way and life will be so much more interesting and happier.
