NEIGHBOUR RESPONDS
I would like to clarify claims made by G.Falconer in letter to Village Voice June 27 edition. First, I am looking out my window on Riverside Drive as I write this and, contrary to Mr. Falconer’s claim of hundreds of squirrels on Riverside Drive, there is not a single squirrel to be seen. The majority of residents in this complex where Mr. Falconer lives feed the squirrels and birds. In fact he has been seen throwing out food. The cat lady he is referring to is my wife. She has assisted in removing several stray cats to farms. Presently, there are only one or two stray cats in this complex and she is working on having them removed to homes. She does not feed all the stray cats in the neighbourhood as he claims. In regards to attracting foxes and raccoons, the apartment complex is next to a bush and these animals

live there. I suggest Mr. Falconer should not live next to a bush if he is bothered by nature. Mr. Falconer wants to know why Kawartha Lakes Bylaw department does nothing. The bylaw officer did come to see us and said there is nothing to see and would not be coming back. The bylaw officer also stated that stray and feral cats are exempt from the bylaw against feeding wild animals. Does this answer your question, Mr. Falconer? G. Jones, Bobcaygeon
BOBCAYGEON THE GENEROUS
On May 25, the Bobcaygeon Lions Club held its Annual Pet Valu Walk For Dog Guides. While the weather didn’t cooperate, the Walk still managed to raise over $11,000 for the Lions Foundation Of Canada Dog Guides. Not quite matching the almost $13,000 it raised last year, but very successful nevertheless. The success of the Walk is in part due to the sponsorship and support of Pet Valu on a national basis, as well as the dedication of the members of Bobcaygeon Lions, who worked for several months to organize, fundraise and coordinate the event. But what really stands out is the incredible support and generosity of Bobcaygeon’s businesses and residents. It never ceases to amaze the Club and its members, how generous and supportive the Bobcaygeon Community can be, when asked to donate to and/or support the fundraising and service efforts of the various service clubs and other charities in our area. From a personal point of view, what really amazes me is that our local businesses in particular, are always willing to donate, despite the fact that they are asked repeatedly to support the numerous fundraising efforts that happen in Bobcaygeon. It really is a testament to their commitment to our community, and their recognition of the importance of being seen to invest in the community that supports them. We are truly blessed to be living in such a caring and generous town...”Bobcaygeon The Generous”. Thank you all. David Savournin, President, Bobcaygeon & District Lions Club
