City Hall MAYOR’S MESSAGE

Our local health unit for Haliburton, Kawartha Lakes and Northumberland has released a new order that will make masks mandatory within our district.

This order is being delivered under the Emergency Management and Civil protection act and is being put in place as a proactive measure to keep safety a top priority for the community.

As of Monday July 13, everyone will be required wear a mask, or face covering, when entering indoor commercial spaces open to the public such as local businesses, take out restaurants and gas stations. Wearing a mask has always been about protecting others. This is a precautionary step and not a reaction to an immediate threat or concern for our area. Our numbers continue to decrease and to ensure we are doing everything possible to keep everyone safe, we will follow the health unit’s guidance.

This will be another new challenge for our local businesses that they will have to adapt to and overcome to survive. I ask for everyone’s patience, respect and support as we all navigate through this together. Please do your part by educating yourself on the importance of wearing a mask indoors and staying safe.

July 10, 2020 - The Kawartha Promoter

There is now also a municipal-wide burn ban in effect.

This is another proactive measure to help keep our community safe. Extreme heat temperatures combined with dry vegetation can be the perfect combination to start a fire.

The ban will be in effect until further notice and includes a complete ban on fireworks, campfires, bonfires, and burn barrels. Please dispose of your cigarette butts responsibly and not on the side of the road. There is a lot going on right now so your continued cooperation is appreciated.

Thank you.

ONTARIO LEGISLATION TO HELP WITH SAFE REOPENING

The Ontario government has introduced proposed legislation that, if passed, would give the province the necessary flexibility to address the ongoing risks and effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. The proposed legislation is part of the government’s plan for the continued safe and gradual reopening of the province once the declaration of emergency ends.

Details about the proposed legislation were provided by Premier Doug Ford, Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, and Solicitor General Sylvia Jones.

“If passed, the proposed legislation would allow us to chart a responsible path to economic reopening and recovery without putting all the progress we’ve made in fighting this virus at risk,” said Premier Doug Ford. “Even as we continue certain emergency orders under the proposed legislation to protect public health, we will always be a government accountable to the people of Ontario. That’s why I will ensure ongoing updates are provided and that a report is tabled within four months of the anniversary of this proposed Act coming into force.”

“While the declaration of emergency may come to an end shortly, the risk posed by COVID-19 is likely to be with us for some time to come,” said Solicitor General Sylvia Jones. “This new legislation would provide the government with the necessary flexibility to ensure select tools remain in place to protect vulnerable populations, such as seniors, and respond to this deadly virus.”

The Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020 would, if passed, ensure important measures remain in place to address the threat of COVID-19 once the provincial declaration of emergency has ended. Specifically, the legislation would: • Continue emergency orders in effect under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA) under the new legislation for an initial 30 days.

• Allow the Lieutenant Governor in Council to further extend these orders for up to 30 days at a time, as required to keep Ontarians safe.

• Allow the Lieutenant Governor in Council to amend certain emergency orders continued under the EMCPA if the amendment relates to: labour redeployment or workplace and management

rules; closure of places and spaces or regulation of how businesses and establishments can be open to provide goods or services in a safe manner; compliance with public health advice; or rules related to gatherings and organized public events.

• Not allow new emergency orders to be created.

• Allow emergency orders to be rescinded when it is safe to do so.

The ability to extend and amend orders under the new legislation would be limited to one year, unless extended by the Ontario legislature. Appropriate oversight and transparency would be ensured through regular, mandated reporting that provides the rationale for the extension of any emergency order. The legislation would include the same types of provisions on offences and penalties as set out under the EMCPA to address non-compliance with orders.

EMERGENCY ORDERS CONTINUED UNTIL JULY 22

The Ontario government, in consultation with Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, has extended all emergency orders currently in force that were made under s.7.0.2(4) of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act to July 22, 2020. The extension was made to ensure the province maintains the necessary flexibility to protect public health and safety as more businesses reopen and people go back to work.

The extension of the emergency orders will help protect vulnerable people, such as seniors, by allowing the redeployment of frontline staff in long-term care facilities, retirement homes and other congregate care settings, like women’s shelters and residential services. In addition, the extension would allow public health units to redeploy or hire staff to support case management and contact tracing.

“Our government is getting Ontario back on track and more people back to work, but at the same time taking steps to ensure we don’t undo the tremendous progress we have made together,” said Premier Doug Ford. “By keeping these emergency measures in place, we will continue to support our frontline care providers, protect our most vulnerable, and ensure we can rapidly respond to potential outbreaks or surges.”

The government intends to extend emergency orders to align with the Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020, if passed. This proposed legislation is part of the government’s plan to cautiously reopen Ontario in a way that recognizes the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 even after the provincial declaration of emergency has ended. The bill, if passed, would allow Ontario to continue its path to recovery by easing restrictions where appropriate, while maintaining important select tools to address the ongoing threat of this deadly virus and protect Ontarians.

A full list of emergency orders can be found on the e-Laws website under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act and at Ontario.ca/alert.

BURN BANS IN EFFECT

Due to the extremely dry conditions throughout our area, City of Kawartha Lakes, Municipality of Trent Lakes and areas in between have implemented a burn ban.

Dry conditions can be extremely hazardous and so residents need to be cautious while we continue to experience heat warnings. This includes being mindful of actions such as not disposing of cigarette butts on the side of the road, in park and trail areas and even in small planters.

“It can sometimes take upwards of 10 to 15 minutes before a cigarette fire becomes noticeable in dry vegetation,” stated City of Kawartha Lakes Fire Chief Mark Pankhurst, “but once the fire is ignited, it can be mere seconds before the grass or even a field is covered in flames.”

When a burn ban in set in place, it means that there is absolutely zero tolerance for burning during the burn ban. All Regular Burn Permits including Annual Regular Burn Permits are suspended until further notice and will not be issued during the ban.

Campfires including outdoor fire pits, burn barrels, chimineas, and other portable open air fire devices intended for backyard bonfires are not permitted to be used during a burn ban. Fireworks are not permitted to be discharged during a burn ban, no exceptions.

Outdoor appliances listed for use in Canada that utilize propane or natural gas as a fuel supply are allowed to be used on your property during an

July 10, 2020 - The Kawartha Promoter

imposed burn ban. For example, gas, electric, and charcoal barbeques are permitted to be used during a burn ban, as long as they are done so with supervision at all time. However, they may not be permitted in some condominium / apartment complexes, so check your building’s rules to confirm before using. Be sure to review and follow all safety precautions noted with the appliance.

The ban also may not apply to those with Agricultural or Special Burn Permits as special conditions already apply to these permits. However, safe practices should be followed at all times for those authorized to burn.

MANDATORY MASKS

Under instructions issued by the local Medical Officer of Health, area businesses will have to have a policy in place that requires people to wear a nonmedical mask or face covering before entering their commercial establishment.

Dr. Lynn Noseworthy, Medical Officer of Health (MOH) for the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit today issued instructions to the owners and operators of commercial establishments currently open during Stage 2 of the province’s reopening. The instructions have been issued under the authority of Ontario Regulation 263/20 under the provincial Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA).

“Although we have seen a decline in the number

of COVID-19 cases in our area, we want to be sure we continue to see a decrease as we move towards the reopening of more businesses within the province,” says Dr. Noseworthy. “We need to do everything we can to avoid the chance of a resurgence in activity that we have seen in some other places.”

The requirement for non-medical mask or face covering use within local businesses will come into effect at 12:01am July 13, 2020. The use of masks will be required while the provincial Emergency Order remains in force or until such time that the MOH lifts the requirement.

Under the Health Unit’s instructions, commercial establishments are premises that are openly accessible to members of the public and used for the purposes of offering goods or services for sale. An establishment would include a mall or other structure containing commercial premises, including: retail stores, convenience stores, restaurants, personal services settings, grocery stores and bakeries, gas stations, indoor farmers’ markets, areas of mechanics’ shops/ garages/repair shops which are open to the public.

Wearing a mask is about protecting other people, Dr. Noseworthy says, and reduces the likelihood that someone could unknowingly spread the virus to another person.

“Provincially, we have seen a number of asymptomatic cases,” she says. “This is just another step in doing what we can to protect our family, friends and neighbours in our communities.”

The policy of the commercial establishment should be enacted and enforced in ‘good faith’ and should be used as an opportunity to educate about the use of nonmedical masks or face coverings in indoor commercial establishments. Additional education and enforcement will be conducted by Health Unit staff, as well as local municipal bylaw and police officers.

There are exemptions to the policy and a person will be exempt from wearing a non-medical mask or face covering in the premises if: • The person is a child under the age of two years; or a child under the age of 5 years either chronologically or developmentally and he or she refuses to wear a face covering and cannot be

persuaded to do so by their caregiver; The person is incapacitated and unable to remove their mask without assistance; • For any other medical reason, the person cannot safely wear a non-medical mask or face covering such as, but not limited to, respiratory disease, cognitive difficulties or difficulties in hearing or processing information.

• For any religious reason, the person cannot wear a non-medical mask or face covering or cannot cover the face in a manner that would properly control the source.

In issuing the instructions to commercial establishments, HKPR District Health Unit is joining a growing list of health units across the province that is requiring non-medical mask or face covering use in public spaces.

For more information about the instructions requiring non-medical mask use or face coverings, visit the Health Unit’s website at www.hkpr.on.ca or call toll-free at 1-866-888-4577, ext. 5020.

“The impact of this investment is threefold;” writes Penny Barton Dyke, Executive Director of UWCKL. “Organizations in our area will be able to help people, especially citizens at risk, with some supports more rapidly; assist in connecting people to agencies that will help them now and going forward; and lastly help strengthen the capacity of our community by working collaboratively.”

2020 CRAYOLA SALE CANCELLED

United Way for the City of Kawartha Lakes has announced the cancellation of this year’s annual Crayola Sale. The event has taken place every fall for over 30 years and raised more than $1 million for United Way for the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Representatives of both UWCKL and Crayola Canada say that the decision to cancel this event, like many others that have recently been postponed or cancelled was based on safety and health concerns due to the ongoing pandemic.

“While the decision to cancel the annual sale was a difficult one, the health and safety of staff, customers, and volunteers is our highest priority, says Paul Murphy, General Manager of Crayola Canada.

“The cancellation of the sale does not alter Crayola Canada’s commitment to our relationship with the UWCKL. We look forward to continuing to work with them and to finding new ways to support their efforts within our community.”

“Crayola Canada has and continues to support our community work. In the 30 years of working together with Crayola Canada employees, we have formed a deep bond and we have continued our work to help people in our community,” says Penny Barton Dyke, Executive Director of UWCKL. “We are proud to continue projects such as Edwin Binney’s Community Garden, and the Crayola Sale and we are working together to find creative solutions during this trying time. It is paramount that we all continue to find ways to keep one another safe and to support our communities,” she adds.

The event’s organizers are currently working toward an alternative to the annual Crayola Sale.

Health & Wellness HEALTH UNIT REOPENS OFFICES

Following the implementation of the second stage of the province’s reopening plan, the local Health Unit will again welcome members of the public into its offices starting on July 6.

Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit offices, located in Port Hope, Lindsay and Haliburton, will be open 8:30am to 4:30pm Monday to Friday. Each office will have safety protocols in place to ensure both staff and members of the public can remain safe.

“While we are pleased to be able to open our doors again, our first consideration is everyone’s safety,” says Dr. Lynn Noseworthy, Medical Officer of Health for the HKPR District Health Unit. “We will be actively screening visitors to be sure they are not ill, limiting the number of people coming into our offices, asking visitors to maintain physical distancing, and requiring people wear a mask if they are coming to our office for an appointment or program.”

Other changes include: • Plexiglass partitions at front reception • Signage for physical distancing • Centralized appointment bookings with prescreening questions • Increased cleaning of high touch surfaces and bathrooms

When Health Unit offices closed to the public in March, some programs continued to be offered.

This included well water bottle drop off and pickup through an outside distribution area. This practice will

continue even when the offices reopen and Health Unit staff will still not be able to check the paperwork for well water samples. When possible, people are also asked to call to book a pick-up time for harm reduction supplies.

“Like other businesses, we are open, but it’s not business as usual,” says Dr. Noseworthy. “For everyone’s health and safety, we are continuing to monitor our practices and work to limit the physical contact between residents and our staff.”

TO MASK OR NOT TO MASK

With the introduction of mandatory masks in commercial establishments in the City of Kawartha Lakes, the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit has these facts to consider: Why make masks mandatory now?

As more businesses and public spaces open and people increase their contacts, the risk of a rapid rise in infections and outbreaks is ever-present.

Although the number of cases of COVID-19 in the HKPR area are declining, the risk of ongoing spread remains as the reopening process continues.

Increasing scientific evidence supports wearing a mask when in enclosed public spaces as an important measure in reducing COVID-19 transmission, while the risk of rising rates of infection continues. Together with physical distancing, hand and cough hygiene, and staying home when ill, the use of a non-medical mask or face covering in a commercial establishment is an additional public health measure that may help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our communities.

What happens if I don’t wear a mask?

Every Operator of an Enclosed Public Space will have a policy to ensure that no member of the public is permitted to enter or remain in the public areas of the enclosed public space unless they are wearing a mask in a manner that covers their nose, mouth and chin.

NEW ECONOMIC NORMAL

Some residents of Kawartha Lakes are seizing the moment of economic upheaval to chart a path forward for a new “economic normal” in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The initial group – which has started out as half a dozen local leaders including Mike Perry, Laraine Hale, Dennis Geelan, Helen Scott and Ameila Valenti – is working to build a peoples’ movement to implement economic measures that serve people and

the environment better than the free market.

“The old economy had us needing to give out free bag lunches to kids here, people living pay cheque-topay cheque, and record levels of personal debt,” notes Mike Perry, who had the idea for a new form of local economic development at a program he was finishing at Harvard when the pandemic first began. “And Lindsay Loblaw employees are getting their wages cut while the company made close to $250 million in profits the past few months.” Perry is a past President of the Lindsay & District Chamber of Commerce and former Governor of Fleming College.

The group is looking to develop specific, concrete, economic activities that are fair and are not based on profiteering, unlimited growth, and devouring the planet for materials. The group is confident an economy based on people’s values of caring for one another, the common good and living within the means of the planet is indeed possible.

Perry continues: “It’s been said that, historically, pandemics are a time to reimagine and I am inspired by all the people – and people I wouldn’t expect – who’ve been saying they don’t want to go back to the old market system. Some say there is no alternative. I say: nonsense. There are lots of ways we can do better,” he adds.

To this end, the group launched its project recently with a “People’s Economy” summit held online. More than 100 people registered to participate in the event which was hosted by the School for the Study of Canada at Trent University. “Economic transformation is a very important issue to study and for action,” says the School’s Director Dr. Heather Nicol. “The School for the Study of Canada was pleased to support this initiative and plans to remain engaged moving forward.”

At the summit, experts on the economy provided a number of specific measures including more use of co-ops, social enterprises, community exchanges, local food sourcing, and community-based home retrofitting projects. Examples of non-market economic activities were provided from Indigenous ways of being; from “the Pocket” community in Toronto; and even as far away as Texas. These measures that could be implemented at the local level and then replicated

by other municipalities, which is also a goal of the project.

The group plans to grow the local “peoples’ economy” movement with events and opportunities to be consulted and involved over the coming months. Leadership team member, Laraine Hale, explains, “Inclusion is a key value of this project and a necessity creating something new that is fair and powerful. We will be reaching out to local residents, community organizations and the City with lots of fun opportunities to work all together moving forward. We are really at a time of increased generosity and caring for one another,” she adds. “We can’t let this moment pass without making something positive for all of us.

Now is the time.”

VIRTUAL ART

A new virtual exhibition by the Olde Gaol Museum curated by Ian McKechnie opens July 6. The virtual exhibition features original Goodwin oil, pencil and watercolour paintings and sketches along with photographs documenting the life of one of Lindsay’s past painters.

As an artist, Goodwin left his legacy not just with his Cherry Tree Lodge journal, but also through pencil, pastel, oil and watercolour of lakes and landscapes within the Kawartha Lakes region.

Goodwin’s art has been exhibited at the museum in the past and navigating the changing dynamics caused by COVID-19, the Olde Gaol Museum would like community members to continue to engage with our region’s history in a digital and timeless way.

The museum would like to thank Virtual Museums of Canada for their primary financial support that made this exhibit possible as well as the Goodwin family, Jane and Dana Still, for their invaluable contributions of artwork, photographs and items from W. A. Goodwin’s past.

BANNER OF HOPE

The Truth and Reconciliation Community Bobcaygeon (trcbobcaygeon.org) is a group of settlers on a journey to build relationships with Indigenous people. A banner with 10 squares has been created to represent some of the experiences gathered along the way. We hope you enjoy reading about these stories that accompany the images of the squares over the coming weeks.

TWO ROW WAMPUM

By Glenna Burns

In 1613, the Two Row Wampum belt was created to signify an agreement. The Haudenosaunee and the Dutch government worked out how they would treat each other and live together on Turtle Island (North America).

“In one row (of the Two Row Wampum belt) is a

ship with our White Brothers (Dutch) ways; in the other a canoe with our (Haudenosaunee) ways. Each will travel down the river of life side by side. Neither will attempt to steer the other’s vessel.” – From Onondaga Nation, People of the Hills.

The principles of Friendship, Peace and Forever were the key criteria of this treaty and all other treaties to follow from the perspective of Indigenous peoples on Turtle Island. The white and purple wampum shells used by the Haudenosaunee to create the Two Row Wampum belt sealed the agreement and those principles. The understanding was that each nation would respect the ways of the other. This agreement would be in place to the end of time.

The Two Row Wampum treaty is a living treaty. It is as relevant to Indigenous communities today as it was in 1613 to the Haudenosaunee.

The Treaty premise, to honour and respect First Nations traditions and cultures, has been grossly violated many times over by encroaching populations to Turtle Island.

The time has come to recognize and honour the principles of the Two Row Wampum Treaty. We are all people of this Treaty and every other treaty that has followed over the centuries.

LEARNING RECONCILIATION

By Sherry Telford

This quilt block represents some of the key lessons and experiences of my reconciliation learning journey thus far.

I first became involved with TRC Bobcaygeon in 2017 when seven members of the group agreed to be participate in research on reconciliation education. At the time I was doing my Masters of Educational Studies 12

July 10, 2020 - The Kawartha Promoter

at Trent University. A key question in my research was: how can Settler Canadians engaging in reconciliation efforts and education avoid inadvertently perpetuating colonialism? In other words, how can we be sure that our efforts look and feel like reconciliation from Indigenous perspectives? As Potawatomi-Lenapé scholar, Susan Dion notes, even well intended educational efforts can reinforce rather than shift or alter colonial thinking.

The most important lesson I learned from the research is that reconciliation requires relationship – heartfelt, caring, messy relationship. I went into

my research well-read and eager. Yet, if it weren’t for my friend and mentor, Liz Stone Niimin Mshiikehn Kwe (Turtle Clan, Anishinaabe from Aamjiwnaang First Nation), I would have completely missed what is obvious from Indigenous perspectives.

Namely, that reconciliation without relationship isn’t reconciliation.

Relationship is what holds us together and lack of relationship keeps us apart.

On this block, the circles represent Indigenous and Settler people and communities. The green background represents the beautiful lands we all live on, the blue represents the water that sustains us, unites us and for the purpose of this visual, separates us.

We are all in relationship with these lands and waters and each other. Some of these relationships are healthy; some are not. My thinking is that the river has some curves in it. If the river had been designed using colonial engineering it would be a straight line – much like the grid lines on maps demarcating Settler-motivated boundaries between Settler and Indigenous “properties”. The river’s curves symbolize the beginning of relationships between Indigenous and Settler peoples. Like an aging river, the curves will become more pronounced as our relationships deepen.

The medicine wheel in the top left corner symbolizes the Anishinaabe Medicine Wheel/ Circle Teachings shared by Nicole Bell, (Bear Clan, Anishnaabe, Kitigan Zibi First Nation). Among other teachings, the medicine wheel reminds us that we learn mentally (white), spiritually (red), physically (yellow) and emotionally (black).

By contrast, the western education embodied in our schools focus primarily on the mind with some room for the physical and only nominal consideration

of our emotional and spiritual selves. I strongly feel that we ignore these aspects of ourselves at our peril.

Indeed, the only way Settler Canadians can be okay with the ongoing systematic and individual injustices perpetrated against Indigenous peoples is by ignoring our hearts and our spirits.

Along with the medicine wheel, Indigenous learning is based on the 4Rs of responsibility, respect, relationship and reciprocity. I love to imagine how transformed we would be if schools around the world also embodied and prioritized these values as norms.

In the lower right corner is the Settler’s Mirror. The Settler’s Mirror reminds us that, as with any relationship, as we engage in reconciliation, we need to look at ourselves. We are both products and beneficiaries of colonialism and its presumptions frame our mindset, creating blind spots that make it difficult for us to see when and how our actions and words replicate colonial structures rather than dismantle them. When we look into the mirror of Indigenous teachings and Indigenous perspectives, we see the reality of how Settler society appears to those it affects.

We need to be willing to look into the mirror.

We need to see ourselves as others see us. We need to ask the hard questions that important relationships demand of us. TRC Bobcaygeon aims to create space to look into the mirror together — to learn with our hearts, our spirits, our bodies and our minds together.

SUNDERLAND LIONS ARE ALL HEART

Members of the Sunderland Lions Club are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those in need. The club’s recent gift to the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation will have a significant impact on patients of all ages.

The Sunderland Lions Club has donated $5,000 to the Heroes at Heart appeal, supporting COVID-related equipment and technology needs and the replacement of the Ross Memorial’s fleet of ECGs. Together with General Internist, Dr. Jeremy Jones, the RMH Foundation mailed letters throughout the City of Kawartha Lakes, seeking support for the Heroes at Heart appeal. In his letter, Dr. Jones explained the emerging needs as the hospital responds to the pandemic, and the importance of ECG machines.

An ECG – or electrocardiogram – has 12 leads that work like cameras at a sporting event. They’re vitally important to the RMH team, helping to diagnose heart attacks and arrhythmia, as well as non-heart-related issues such as lung disease and kidney failure. ECGs help save lives.

“Sixty-five years ago, the Sunderland Lions Club was established with a goal of serving its community and meeting humanitarian needs. Two generations later, its members are still making a difference,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “The Sunderland Lions have supported needs throughout the Ross, from the Dialysis Unit to the OR, in the X-ray Department and Cardiac Rehab. This year, their generosity will help the community yet again. They are truly heroes at heart.”

Lakes region that promote our communities and put our tourism industry on a path to recovery.”

A $1.25 million investment in to Kawartha’s regional tourism organization will deliver locally driven marketing programs designed to encourage all Ontarians to explore their communities.

“As one of the most beautiful parts of Ontario, Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes Brock is usually a magnet for visitors from other parts of our province and beyond,” said Laurie Scott, MPP Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock. “This provincial funding will help our businesses and residents who work in the tourism industry as we recover from the impacts of COVID-19.”

The government is also investing over $150,000 in local festivals and events through the Celebrate Ontario program to help reinvigorate our province’s $36 billion tourism industry that supports over 400,000 jobs.

PROVINCE SUPPORTS TOURISM

The Ontario government is promising more than $1.4 million in tourism supports across the Kawartha Lakes region.

“This funding is part of an effort to encourage homegrown tourism and talent,” said Lisa MacLeod, Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries. “As our government moves forward with reopening the province, we are proud to invest over $1.4 million to support initiatives in the Kawartha

VIRTUAL POKER RUN

As a community-based riding club assisting families and organizations in the Kawartha Lakes, the Kawartha Charity Riders encourage members to ‘add meaning to your ride’. With COVID-19 complicating events, they had to add some creative thinking, too.

The KCR’s 2020 Poker Run on June 26, 27 and 28 was a virtual event. Members still hit the roads, travelling to identifiable checkpoints around the City of Kawartha Lakes, but instead of being handed a card at each stop, riders took pictures at the checkpoints and posted them to the KCR Facebook page, which generated their card.

The virtual ride was so successful, KCR president Joey McLaughlin says other groups are adopting the idea so their own events can continue.

The participants did more than raise funds through their ride. With winners donating their prize money back to the event, KCR was able to donate $500 to the Heroes at Heart appeal, supporting COVID related equipment and technology needs at Ross Memorial Hospital.

“We’re grateful to the Kawartha Charity Riders for turning their event into a fundraiser for the Ross,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “Members of the KCR set a great example, showing us how we can do what we love — and do some good at the same time.”

Here are some facts about the European Gypsy Moth •The gypsy moth was discovered in Ontario in 1969 •Outbreaks are cyclical, typically occurring every seven to 10 years. In Ontario, major outbreaks have peaked in 1985, 1991 and 2002.

•Gypsy moths love oak, birch, maple and white pine •Caterpillars devour foliage, often leaving trees bare. Initially, they feed during the day, but as they mature, they start feeding at night.

•Female gypsy moths don’t fly •Feeding is completed in July •Male moths are light brown and slenderbodied, while females are white and heavy-bodied

MUNCHING MOTHS

By Deb Crossen

As if going through “The Covid” isn’t bad enough, now residents in my neighbourhood and many others in the province are experiencing an infestation of gypsy moths.

And while that might not be too terrible on the surface, the leaves on our trees are being eaten by the gypsy moth caterpillar and, on a personal note, I’ve been sweeping up “caterpillar poop” from my deck now for weeks!

So I spoke with David Dutkiewicz, Entomology Technician with the Invasive Species Centre in Sault Ste. Marie to find out more.

“A lot of Ontario is dealing with Gypsy Moths this year,” he said. “Gypsy Moths are an invasive species as opposed to a native species, so it’s important for homeowners to do their best to get rid of them.”

Apparently, moths aren’t active during the day.

They eat everything when they are caterpillars then they become moths which don’t have mouths. Their main objective at this stage is to reproduce. They lay their eggs, which lasts Fall and winter. If you can identify the egg masses, you can scrape them off the trees and dump them into soapy water, which will kill the eggs.

At this stage, there are two things we can do, according to David. “There’s a natural bacteria bile insecticide that you can get from most hardware stores.

You either spread it in crystallized form or spray it on the leaves of your tree. The only downside is it has to be used when the moths are in the early feeding stage.

We may be too late to do that this year.”

Alternatively, you can use the burlap wrap method. David explains, “You take some burlap fabric, about 1- to 2- feet in width and wrap it around the tree trunk. Tie it in the middle so the top flops over. The moths don’t like to be out in the daytime, so they will go under the burlap wrap. Then you go out and pick them off and again, drop them in soapy water to kill them.”

You can find out more really great information through the City of London’s website at http://www. london.ca/residents/Environment/Trees-Forests/Pages/ Gypsy-Moth.aspx

Horoscopes

July 9 to 22

By Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb.19) Are you well-nourished, Aquarius? In every sense of the word? Yes, we’re talking about eating properly for good health, but we’re also talking about nourishing your inner self. You can’t be fulfilled without this important aspect of sustenance.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Continue along the path you have followed during the pandemic, Pisces, with regards to your job. If you have made changes, search your thoughts to see if they suit your situation, or not, and act accordingly.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) It is well-known, Aries, that clutter in your home or workplace can actually also “clutter” the mind. Do you need to unclutter? Look around, decide what needs to be done, make a plan, and follow through!

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Over the past few months, Taurus, many have had to leave their comfort zones as they deal with this strange new world. You are one of them, and, no doubt, it will leave a lasting mark. But, as we all move on, know you are not alone. If you need help to deal with all the residue, ask for it!

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) It’s never too late in life - or too early -- to explore new avenues, Gemini. Go into the wilderness to see what amazing things await!

Local Trades & Services

Cancer (June 23to July 23) Your financial situation will be fairly straightforward in the coming while, dear Cancer.

Remember to focus on the future and keep putting a little money aside wherever and whenever you can.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Well! Big changes are afoot, dear Leo! But, no need to worry. These changes are the good kind, and will bring good times.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) You’ve been cooped up for a while now, Virgo. Use caution, as always, but also make a few forays into the wider world -- a former lover may show interest.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Try not to take yourself too seriously, Libra, and remember there are other people in the world, not just you! Look for the special attributes of those around you to see what makes each one unique.

Get to know them. You might even like what you see!

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) “Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.”: H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Scorpio - continue to dream, and dream big, but don’t forget to smell the roses, and value other little things that make life worthwhile, along the way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Opportunities and new adventures abound for you, Sag, in the coming weeks!

Plan to ‘make a plan’ so you don’t miss out on anything.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) A lazy, relaxed summer continues for you, Capricorn -- if you let it. Enjoy this time with few worries and responsibilities.
