OVER THE BACK FENCE

Happy Father’s Day weekend! As I usually pay homage to my Mom here in this space on Mother’s Day, I’d like to indulge in a little about my Dad. My Dad, Earl Crane, was one of the kindest, most humane beings on the earth. He was a Newfie (insert joke of your choice here, he’d appreciate that) by birth and loved his home province. After graduating from Memorial University in St. John’s, he joined the Canadian Armed Forces and was a gunner in World War II. After the war, he stayed in the Armed Forces and was an air traffic controller. He met my Mom while he was in the service and they were married for more than 40 years, before he passed away in 1989. My Dad’s biggest accomplishment (aside from having me, of course) ... he was instrumental in the Canadian Biafran War efforts on behalf of Canairelief. He was away for more than eight months, in Sao Tome off

the coast of Africa. Along with his other humanitarians, he was shot at by insurgents, caught Malaria and was eventually shipped home under the threat of death from the insurgents. I was, and still am, extremely proud of him for stepping into a war zone to help others. The only time I ever saw my Dad drink was just after I was married. He came over to our house with a bottle of Screech (Newfoundland’s much stronger cousin to rum). He and John got into it and, well, the rest was hysterically funny. But you had to be there! I’ve been ruminating these past few weeks, thinking about the past and how simple our lives were. Remembering my Dad always brings a smile to my face and I hope I’m making him proud the way I’m living my life now. It takes a lot to be a Dad. Any man can be a father, but Dads today come in all shapes and sizes. Give thanks this weekend to the one you consider your Dad – no matter who it is. As always, stay safe out there, stay well and remember – please be kind! editor@thepromoter.ca

City Hall CKL COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS

The following are highlights from the Committee of the Whole meeting on June 7, 2022. All items will return to Regular Council on June 21 for further discussion and/or adoption. June is Pride month Council Chambers was decorated during the meeting to recognize June as Pride month. We celebrate the significant milestones in legal and social equality achieved by the LGBTQ+ community and their allies, and we celebrate the contributions of this community to the broader community that we all share. Yellow Ribbon Animal Bite Awareness Campaign The HKPR District Health Unit made a deputation to Council asking for support of the Yellow Ribbon Animal Bite Awareness Campaign. The campaign is based on an international movement known as the “Yellow Dog Project” created for dogs that need space. By tying a yellow ribbon or something similar to the dog’s leash you are indicating that this dog needs space. In the last three years, Health Unit inspectors investigated over 600 animal bite/scratch incidents annually in our region. The municipality will support the public awareness campaign led by the Health Unit. Accessibility Awareness Recognition Awards Councillor Doug Elmslie, and member of the Kawartha Lakes Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC), announced the 2022 Accessibility Awareness Recognition Awards recipients on behalf of the

Committee. Congratulations and appreciation was extended to all recipients for their contribution to accessibility in Kawartha Lakes. Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) In March 2022, the province signed a $13.2 billion commitment over six years with the federal government for the CWELCC to preserve parental choice and provide greater flexibility for child care. In a presentation to Council, staff outlined the timeline, participation, eligibility and funding requirements for the program. The City has the responsibility to determine and set new base fees for all Service Providers and will be doing an in-depth review of all providers’ budget submissions to do so. Through CWELCC, registered early childhood educators will also be eligible for a wage floor increase and an annual wage increase of $1 per year. Omemee Wastewater Treatment Upgrade Juan Rojas, Director of Engineering and Corporate Assets and consultants from Greer Galloway Consulting Engineers, presented to Council an update on the municipal wastewater system in Omemee. It was originally constructed as a dual lagoon/spray irrigation system in 1976 and upgraded in 2014. Today, the system is not providing the capacity that was forecast. A Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Schedule C) was undertaken and the preferred option is to continue running the LSSDS at reduced capacity and using the spray irrigation system to make up the required capacity. This addresses existing issues and provides sufficient capacity at the lowest capital cost. Public meetings have been held on July 15, 2021 and May 25, 2022. Final report to come to Council on July 19. Cultural Centre Feasibility Study Findings In 2019, Council allocated $50,000 in matched funding from the Kawartha Lakes Arts Council and the Kawartha Lakes Culture and Heritage Network to undertake a feasibility study to test the viability of a cultural centre/hub. At Committee of the Whole on Tuesday, staff and consultants Nordicity and Giaimo presented the findings from the study and their recommendations. Stray and Feral Cats In September 2021, Council directed staff to review and report back regarding the process to address the feral cat population following ongoing concerns within the community. Currently, trap, neuter (spay) release and monitoring (TNRM) of cat colonies is on the rise and organizations are working in Kawartha

Lakes and the surrounding area to manage the issue. Staff suggested process changes and amendments to the Animal By-Law to support feral cat efforts. The recommendation includes establishing a Stray and Feral Cat Pilot Project with a two year term starting in 2023 that would enhance support for pound services and TNRM organizations. Heritage Properties The Kawartha Lakes Heritage Register includes properties which are of cultural heritage value but are not designated under Part IV or Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. Several private and public properties have been added to the Heritage Registry including: • The former Bobcaygeon Post Office, constructed in 1937, is a rare example of Art Moderne architecture in Kawartha Lakes where only a few other examples of this style of building exist. • The Kirkfield Liftlock, as the second highest hydraulic liftlock along the Trent Severn Waterway, boasting a 49 foot lift. Service Club Signage Economic Development provided a report following up on the Downtown Revitalization Committee of Council which identified signage as a priority. The Committee called for a strategic, coordinated approach to signage across the municipality that reduces sign proliferation and benefits the community. Staff will provide Council with an approach to a create coordinated, strategic community sign standards

program by September 30. Staff also propose to add a new page on the municipal website that lists the Service Club logos and provides direct links to their associated websites. Read report. New Artefact Policy With the addition of the new position of Economic Development Officer - Curatorial Services, the reestablishment of an Artifact Program to care for 3-D objects of interest in a permanent artifact collection is timely. The Policy recognizes that the cultural assets held in trust by the City are a tangible representation of thecommunity’s heritage. It provides the framework for care and management, how the collection is made available to the public, details where the artifact collection is to be stored and responsibilities of staff while ensuring the highest professional standards of care in accordance with provincial and federal legislation. Feral Pigs Action Plan As the threat of the establishment of a wild pig population in Ontario has grown over recent years and wild pig sightings in the region have been reported, Kawartha Lakes’ agricultural lands and natural environment are under threat of devastation. To respond to this threat, Staff recommend public awareness activities to ensure that any sightings in Kawartha Lakes are reported promptly. Woodville Water Treatment Plant A report to Council provided information on the water service capacity of the existing system for

future development in the Village of Woodville and the feasibility of service expansion. A study estimated that the existing system has capacity to accommodate 60 additional single houses before reaching 80% of the rated capacity, the maximum recommended by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). Historical planning demand has shown up to 100 lots. Staff will work with active proposals and commitments to implement modest and immediate development within the current capacity limitations. Proposals and approved future development exceeding current capacity will be considered and accommodated for, where appropriate, through the future Growth Management and Master Servicing Plans. Council received the report for information. Speed Reduction A 1000m stretch of Monck Road along Young Lake, from Kirkfield Road to a point 600m east of Young Street, is considered a built-up area and warrants a speed limit reduction from 80km/hr to 60 km/hr. This is justified as the area is considered built up, and speed reduction would reduce collisions. Local Improvement Charge to upgrade Kagawong Road Council has recommended that a project to upgrade Kagawong Road from a gravel to highfloat surface be added to the 2023 Tax-Supported Capital Budget with a budget of $440,000. The project would be financed 50% by the Capital Contingency Reserve and 50% by funds to be received from a community trust fund. Long-Term Financial Plan 2022-2031 Staff brought forward a final version of the LongTerm Financial Plan 2022-2031 for adoption by Council. The Plan includes a tax-supported capital levy dedicated to supporting and sustaining the capital reserve, and is based on annual tax levy increases of approximately 3%. The Plan sets a target debt servicing ratio no greater than 10%. 2021 Annual Housing and Homelessness Plan In November 2019, Council endorsed the “Building Stronger Communities – 10 Year Housing and Homelessness Plan” (HHP) for 2020-2029 to establish priorities for housing and homelessness services based on targeted consultations and research. Staff provided Council with the first annual report of the HHP, highlighting 2021 progress. Council Memos:

CULTURAL CENTRE FEASIBILITY STUDY

Since 2015, the municipality has been working with the Kawartha Lakes Arts Council and the Kawartha Lakes Culture and Heritage Network to assess the need for a culture centre(s) in Kawartha

Lakes. In 2019, Council allocated $50,000 in matched funding from the two groups to undertake a feasibility study to test the viability of a cultural centre/hub, among other objectives. At Committee of the Whole on Tuesday June 7, staff and consultants Nordicity and Giaimo presented the findings from the study and their recommendations. “The study resulted in a strong vision for a Cultural Centre, with many potential pathways for implementation,” commented Donna Goodwin, Economic Development Officer – Arts & Culture. “Ultimately, the Cultural Centre would be a transformational community asset that would support greater cohesiveness across the culture and heritage network in Kawartha Lakes and be a model for institutional development and sustainability for future generations.” Building on the need for a municipal archive and collection facility, the Kawartha Lakes Cultural Centre would be a facility for cultural and heritage organizations and artists to share space and assets. In particular, the facility would address findings within the study to: • Celebrate Kawartha Lakes’ rich cultural and

The Fenelon Falls Reconstruction project is progressing well and work will continue in the coming weeks. Recent and upcoming action items include: • Line painting is complete; parking spots will remain the same size as prior to construction. • The final lift (layer) of asphalt has been delayed until September due to work that Hydro One needs to complete at the intersection of Colborne and Francis.

The contractor will return to install missing signage such as the Farmers’ Market and parking signs. No left turn signage will be installed going southbound on Colborne near the Red Apple due to the congestion caused by vehicles waiting to turn where there is no turning lane.

WOODVILLE REZONING BY-LAW OPEN HOUSE

Since 2019, Kawartha Lakes has been in the process of reviewing and consolidating its 13 rural area zoning by-laws. When the project began, the Village of Woodville was not included in the review as it was designated as an Urban Settlement Area in the City of Kawartha Lakes Official Plan. Following a settlement from the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) in March 2022 that changed Woodville’s designation from an Urban Settlement Area to a Hamlet in the rural area, the project team is now including Woodville in the Rural Zoning By-Law review and consolidation. To introduce the project to Woodville and seek the community’s input, Kawartha Lakes and consultant WSP are holding a public open house on Wednesday June 22, 2022 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. The purpose of the open house is to: • Outline the work that has been completed to date • Introduce the Rural Zoning By-Law Review process to Woodville • Walk through preliminary zoning options and recommendations for Woodville, and seek the public’s feedback • Provide the next steps in the process and how to get involved The meeting is being held virtually and registration is available online and via telephone: • Online: Visit the City’s website (www. kawarthalakes.ca) and search for the news release for the meeting. There is a link provided for registration. • Phone: Please contact Jonathan Derworiz, Planner II, City of Kawartha Lakes, prior to the open house to receive dial-in information: 705-324-9411 extension 1330 or jderworiz@kawarthalakes.ca

June 17, 2022 - The Kawartha Promoter

Following this open house, the project team will consider all input and work to consolidate Woodville into the Second Draft Rural Zoning By-law, which is expected to be released summer 2022.

BOBCAYGEON BRIDGE UPDATE

Parks Canada says the Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge project continues and is still scheduled to reopen in the Fall. While the Contractor has been away from the site, mechanical components required for the renewal of the Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge at Lock 32 have been remanufactured and are expected to arrive on-site in the coming weeks. Parks Canada continues to work closely with the Contractor to bring the project to its completion. Once installation of the components has begun, the remainder of the bridge work will proceed as well. At that point, there will be a more specific update on the timing for completion and bridge reopening.

The health and safety of Canadians, visitors, and Parks Canada team members are of the utmost importance to the Agency. Please obey lock staff regarding the safe movement of visitors and pedestrians on-site. The local Chamber of Commerce and Impact 32 will install directional signage at the lock station to highlight access opportunities for businesses on both sides of the lock. The enhanced pedestrian access over the upper gates of Lock 32 and its access paths will continue to remain open until the bridge project has been completed. Parks Canada is leading this important infrastructure work to ensure safe, high-quality experiences for visitors by improving heritage, visitor, waterway, and highway assets located within national historic sites, national parks, and national marine conservation areas, including along the Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site. They appreciate your patience while important investments into the infrastructure in Bobcaygeon are undertaken.

ACCESSIBILITY AWARENESS AWARDS

At the Committee of the Whole Meeting on June 7, City of Kawartha Lakes Council announced the winners of the 14th annual Accessibility Awareness Recognition Awards. The awards show appreciation for the people, groups, organizations and businesses that went above and beyond to make Kawartha Lakes more accessible this past year. “First and foremost, I’d like to thank the Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) for their work, particularly these last couple years which has been hard on us,” commented Councillor Doug Elmslie while introducing the awards. “They continue to work hard to make our community more accessible for everybody and these awards help encourage more people to get involved.” To start, the Kawartha Lakes AAC recognized and thanked the many pharmacies, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who went above and beyond during the pandemic, offering in-vehicle vaccinations, new delivery services and a number of modified services to help residents with disabilities. This year a variety of individuals and groups were recognized for helping make Kawartha Lakes more accessible. Outstanding Contribution Business Lindsay Food Basics: Recognized for their hiring of individuals with disabilities. Up to 10 individuals with a variety of challenges, both physical and intellectual, are employed at the store at any time. Their decision to hire employees with disabilities is not company-driven, but a conscious decision by their local management. Outstanding Contribution – Community Groups Kawartha Settlers’ Village, Bobcaygeon: In 2020 due to the ongoing pandemic, the Kawartha Lakes

Festival of Trees was not possible but this did not dissuade the volunteers at the Village. They created a drive through event and the change allowed everyone to enjoy the festival from the comfort of a vehicle. In 2021 the drive through event continued and allows more people to join the festivities. Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH) Vaccination Team: The drive through vaccination clinic opened at the LEX on March 18 and ran until August 22, 2021. The drive through clinic increased access to the vaccine and in total more than 62,000 vaccinations were administered at the site. A team of more than 20 nurses and doctors from RMH worked at the site tirelessly, serving roughly 500 vehicles each day. The set-up removed barriers for people with mobility challenges and helped create a comfort zone for what can be an anxiety inducing experience. Outstanding Contribution – Individual Carl Rennick: Carl has been instrumental in growing wheelchair curling in Canada since 2006. Carl read about Jon Thurston’s injury and encouraged him to try the sport—earlier this year Jon Thurston from Dunsford and the Canadian Paralympic Wheelchair Curling Team won bronze at the Beijing Winter Games. Carl also spearheaded the Give It A Go program at the Bobcaygeon Curling Club and has served on the board of hospitals in Sarnia, serving physically disabled children from birth to 16, and has been an active participant in accessibility issues for many years in our community. Outstanding Contribution – City of Kawartha Lakes Employee/Team Paramedics Service: Seeing a need to assist members of the community with high-resource needs being discharged from the hospital with no family to assist, Paramedics Service helped these residents remain in their homes longer and avoid readmission to hospital. They created the Community Paramedics Program, with Paramedics performing regular inhome check-ins and providing medication and other services. The value of this program was recognized by the Ontario Ministry of Health and has been followed in other areas of the province. Outstanding New Build or Modification Bobcaygeon Curling Club and Recreational Facility: Members of the Club wanted to allow the opportunity for wheelchair curlers to join their leagues, but before that was possible the building had to undergo some major changes. A wheelchair lift was installed, as well as accessible washrooms for greater access for all residents. In October 2021, the Club held it’s first Give It A Go Day to introduce wheelchair curling to anyone interested in attending. The Kirkfield and District Historical Society: The Society has undertaken a major renovation of the Kirkfield Museum, including a wheelchair accessible ramp, automated power doors and accessible washrooms with adult change tables. The group is also continuing with plans to remove stairs to the building, improving mobility inside and ensuring accessibility to all museum visitors. Barbara McArthur Award of Distinction Lynda DaSilva: Lynda has volunteered and June 17, 2022 - The Kawartha Promoter

KAWARTHA CREDIT UNION SUPPORTS RMH

As Kawartha Credit Union commemorates their 70th anniversary this year, they also recognize a quarter century of their support for the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation. Since 1997, Kawartha’s Community Involvement Program donations have helped our hospital acquire equipment and technology including dialysis, echocardiogram, mammography, CT and Xray/ Fluoroscopy. Their recent gift of $4,500 will help fund the community’s new MRI, once again showing that Kawartha lives up to its purpose of supporting the wellbeing of the communities they serve. Michelle Finley, a Kawartha Credit Union District Manager, visited Ross Memorial to be recognized for Kawartha’s impact on local patient care. “Kawartha Credit Union continues to be a strong community partner with its ongoing support for priority needs at the Ross,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “The cost of the new MRI — $2.5 million — is not 14

June 17, 2022 - The Kawartha Promoter

covered by government funding. With this generous gift from Kawartha, we are one step closer to meeting this critical need. The current MRI is now 11 years old and must soon be decommissioned. We look forward to the arrival of a new, more advanced MRI — one that will serve our community’s needs now and for years to come.” Magnetic Resonance Imaging helps physicians confidently diagnose disease and injury in the brain, spine, joints, breasts and organs. It’s a vital tool for detecting herniated or bulging disks, arthritic changes, tumours and other lesions. More than 500 patient exams are scanned at the Ross every month. With this gift, Kawartha Credit Union’s cumulative giving to the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation is $90,564.

NEW AI PLATFORM FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

The Ontario Bioscience Innovation Organization (OBIO®) and the City of Kawartha Lakes Family Health Team (CKL FHT) are launching a project in Ontario through OBIO’s Early Adopter Health Network (EAHN™) to improve the patient and provider experience, and enhance health outcomes via Goji Technology Systems’ innovative artificial intelligence (AI) virtual assistant platform, Goji Voice. With Goji Voice, clinicians can easily and seamlessly record their interactions with patients using their computers or mobile devices. This allows them to easily capture the entire conversation rather than taking notes or communicating through a computer screen, which can negatively affect the patientclinician interaction. Goji Voice then converts the recorded conversation into text and makes it available to the clinician, who can quickly review the notes, highlight key points and add new information. Once the clinical notes have been captured in the system, Goji Voice allows clinicians to save them directly into their medical systems through a simple integration offered by Gojitech. Goji Voice also captures clinical insights, reminders and actions such as follow-ups, tests, orders and more. This way, the clinician no longer needs to manually track notes or actions. Goji Voice is built with robust privacy and security safeguards required for adherence to jurisdictionally applicable legislation/regulations (e.g., PHIPA in Ontario, HIPAA in the US and GDPR in Europe), and stores and maintains data residency in local jurisdictions to provide the utmost data protection. Gojitech and CKL FHT are excited about the progressive deployment and evaluation of Goji Voice at several clinical locations. Aligned with the quadruple aim of healthcare, the OBIO-funded project will assess Goji Voice’s impact in restoring face-to-face interaction between clinicians and patients, the quality of its clinical documentation automation, the value of recorded and transcribed encounters for clinicians, and the utility of codified data for analytics. This announcement continues to reflect OBIO’s commitment and momentum to “bringing Canadian

innovation to Ontario’s health system and the world,” by expanding the EAHN™ program to include primary care organizations such as Ontario’s Family Health Teams. Aasif Khakoo, Executive Director, City of Kawartha Lakes Family Health Team, said, “Primary health care is a vital part of Ontario’s healthcare system, as we help to reduce hospital admissions and reduce health complications through prevention, access, early intervention and education. Our adoption of digital technologies has had a positive impact, but at times it has also led to an increased time spent on administration and non-direct clinical care. We hope that innovative solutions like Gojitech’s will contribute to overcoming clinician burnout due to digitization, improve the quality of time spent on clinical care, enhance the accuracy and breadth of data for analytics that lead to better planning and decision making, and ultimately, provide better and more efficient access to patient care.”

RMH UPDATES VISITOR RESTRICTIONS

With the number of COVID-19 cases in the community declining, Ross Memorial Hospital has made changes to its Visitor Restrictions and Protocols. All visitors will continue to be screened for COVID-19 symptoms. Those who fail the screening will be denied entry into the hospital. While proof of vaccination will no longer be required, Ross Memorial strongly encourages eligible community members to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to help ensure the safest possible environment for everyone. With some exceptions, each admitted patient will now identify four designated visitors, an increase from two designated visitors under the previous restrictions. The patient will be allowed two visitors at a time, an increase of one visitor. Visitors must continue to enter through the hospital’s main entrance to undergo screening. Masking is still required. Ross Memorial will be revisiting the new policy towards the end of June to assess whether further changes will be made at that time.

DRAGON BOATS ON THE TSW

The Belleville Dragon Boat Club is taking on 13 Trent-Severn Waterway locks, having kicked off in Bobcaygeon this week. The rent-Severn Waterway Fundraising Adventure, from June 16 to 21, is hoping to raise $25,000 for the Breast Cancer Support Fund, and spread the word about the benefits of dragon boating for breast cancer survivors from June 16 to 21. Dragons Abreast is a dragon boating team based out of Toronto that is made up of breast cancer survivors. They operate with the goal of promoting physical and psychological health for breast cancer survivors and spreading a message of hope. The Belleville Dragon Boat Club is proud to support the crew as they celebrate their 25th Anniversary. Dragons Abreast will also be using this trip to fundraise for the Breast Cancer Support Fund. Louise Menezes, the team’s Trent-Severn Committee Co-Chair, said, “We’ll paddle the TrentSevern Waterway in a dragon boat, from Bobcaygeon to Rice Lake, through 12 locks, passing the Curve Lake First Nation and finishing at the Hiawatha First Nation. Our gratitude is extended to the First Nations for their care and teachings about our earth and our relation to it”. Dragons Abreast will also be honouring the 50 team members lost to breast cancer and six who died from other causes since the team was formed in 1997, 25 years ago. Their names will be carried on a scroll on the 6-day Trent-Severn Adventure. You can make a donation by online dragonsabreast. ca and if you see them paddling by, give them a huge shout-out!

LEGION HOSTS AN EVENT FIT FOR THE QUEEN

Submitted by Dee Fenton

We had an extremely successful Jubilee Weekend. Our Branch, 239 Bobcaygeon of the Royal Canadian Legion applied for and received a grant from Heritage Canada Patrimoine and we certainly put the funds to good use. Our former President, Margaret Cameron, was the brains behind the weekend’s events and our Treasurer, Victor Festing ‘s attention to the details of the application got us our funding. The money was used to pay for a full list of activities, which were offered free of charge to attendees. On Saturday, June 4, we started with a Roast Beef Dinner in our upstairs Banquet Hall. This was very well received by the public. We initially planned for 80 diners, but the response was so overwhelming, we had to increase it to 100 people. Our caterer for the weekend’s food events, Lynn Nicholls, an executive member, did a superlative job. The dinner was followed by a dance to the music of The Electric City Orchestra, formerly known as the L’il Big Band. They entertained everyone with a variety of tunes from the forties up to the present day. Sunday Afternoon, there was a Flagpole Ceremony attended by our MP, Jamie Schmale and our newly re-elected MPP, Laurie Scott. Our newly appointed Padre, Bill Gray also attended along with our new President, Gary Whelan. Dee Fenton sang the Royal Anthem and the National Anthem. Bob Fenton gave an interesting speech on Her Majesty’s contribution to our lives. The Flag Party, led by Cde Tom Gallant the newly appointed Sgt at Arms, was also in attendance along with Brian Gowan, the piper. Next, a High Tea for 80 attendees was held from 3 to 5 pm in the Banquet Hall, where traditional treats and tiny sandwiches were served by our well appreciated volunteers. Fascinators were de rigeur for the ladies in attendance. A great time was had by all. To close the weekend, we had a Band, Off The

Street, play on the patio. This event coincided with a barbeque where hot dogs and hamburgers were on offer. All of these events were funded by the grant from the department of Heritage Canada Patrimoine and it was an excellent opportunity for Branch 239 to showcase what the Legion stands for. We had many people attend and all had a wonderful time.

NEED FOR SPEED

The Community Speed Reduction project first launched in the fall of 2021 and saw 50km per hour speed limits reduced to 40km per hour in the communities of Manilla, Kinmount, Kirkfield, Coboconk, Burnt River, Pontypool and Janetville. Rollout Schedule • The next communities to receive 40 km per hour signs in the summer of 2022 will be Seagrave, Sonya, Little Britain, Oakwood and Woodville. • The final rural communities to receive signs will be Bethany, Noland, Omemee and Victoria Road. • Phase 2 will involve urban areas of Bobcaygeon, Lindsay and Fenelon Falls. These areas will be completed by September 2023. The “40 is the new 50” campaign is designed to help improve motorist, cyclist and pedestrian safety. The municipality currently enforces a speed by-law for designated areas within towns, villages, settlement areas and hamlets known as “community speed zones” that outline a speed limit of 50 km per hour. These zones will be reduced to 40km per hour. “Community safety and wellbeing is our overall priority and we know that slower speeds lead to fewer collisions and less serious injuries. Members of the City of Kawartha Lakes OPP Detachment will continue to work closely with the municipality to reduce the overall speeds in these designated communities,” stated Tim Tatchell, Inspector, OPP, Kawartha Lakes Detachment. To request a lawn sign to reinforce the campaign, follow these easy steps: • Ensure your community is in Phase 1, rural communities (see schedule above). • Fill out the simple form through the City’s website at www.kawarthalakes.ca. • Pickup a sign at your closest Municipal Service Centre (Lindsay, Coboconk, Omemee). More details are available on the City’s website

SUMMER PERFORMANCE CAMP IS BACK

Submitted by Rebecca Anne Bloom

Globus Theatre is hosting three weeks of summer camps this year for young people ages 8 to 16. After the success of last year’s Downtown Detective Trail, Globus Theatre is delighted to bring this family friendly activity back. This is an exciting interactive addition to our mainstage murder mystery The Great 44th Fowler’s Falls Fall Fair Disaster - and your child could be a part of it. The Downtown Detective Trail is a series of clue scenes in different spots around Bobcaygeon’s

downtown. Youth participants in our summer camps will be introduced to the professional theatre process from auditioning for roles to rehearsals, and from curating elements of promotions to performing LIVE for local audiences and visitors to the area. Camp dates are the three weeks from July 25 to August 13. Camps are half-day sessions and participants can choose to come to the morning or afternoon session for two weeks or all three weeks. The first camp week is a rehearsal week where the kids will be cast in their roles and work with a professional director on a script written especially for them. The other two weeks are performance camps where the kids will participate in public performances of the Downtown Detective Trail. Camp fees are $155 + HST which, thanks to Globus Theatre’s funders and donors, is partially subsidized for everyone. Full subsidies are available for children who would love to participate but may not be in the financial position to do so, to ensure that this opportunity is available to everyone. We’re not leaving out the little ones either. From July 18 to 22, Globus Theatre is offering a Summer Drama Camp for ages 5 to 8, at a subsided cost of $75 + HST per camper. Artistic Director, Sarah Quick says, “Thanks to our donors and funding from the Bobcaygeon Legacy CHEST fund, we are able to offer this opportunity again in 2022.” You can get more information and register online at www.globustheatre.com.

Horoscopes Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Is it time to unplug? Is it time to take a little break from technology? Yes! You can do it. It doesn’t have to be cold turkey for the rest of your life! Why not let go for 10 or 20 minutes a day – and meditate instead! Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Love is growing between you and someone, Pisces, and this love can only get stronger if you nurture it carefully. We wish you well! Aries (March 21 to April 20) Make time to listen – and you will hear and learn far more than by taking up space talking, dear Aries. The job of a listener is an important one in today’s world! Taurus (April 21 to May 21) What is the meaning of greatness? There are many definitions, but why worry about them? Always do your best, Taurus, and you will be comfortable knowing your “greatness” has been achieved. Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Develop a love affair with the charm and beauty of the natural world, Gemini. It won’t let you down when you need a pick-me-up and will always be there in some small corner waiting for you. Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Tomorrow is another day, Cancer, and with it comes new strength, new thoughts, and new ways of seeing life! Accept that everything will never be perfect, but be willing to see tiny glimpses of that perfection wherever you go. Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Be open to all forms of spirituality, for they have much to offer, Leo. Be open to what they have to share and you will learn to live with different, yet in many ways similar, beliefs.

June 17 to 30

By Melodie McCullough

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) “Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.”: Epicurus. Take note, Virgo. Never tell yourself that you need to wait to do something. At the same time never tell yourself you are too old! Time has NOT passed you by. Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Don’t be afraid to contradict yourself or change your mind once you have discovered new information, Libra. You will not appear ‘stupid’. Rather, you will show your ability to accept new things and adapt. Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Are you dreaming of a little travel, dear Scorpio? Perhaps a flight across the ocean – or maybe a hike on your neighbourhood trail? Whatever it be, it is always nice take a companion along. You can enjoy the ride by yourself, of course, but sometimes it’s good to enjoy with someone else, too. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Life moves on, and you must move on with it, dear Sag. Don’t get caught up in the past or the “what might have beens”. There is still plenty of time to change course. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan 20) Now is a good time to take stock of what really matters to you, Cap, your dreams, what you enjoy doing, – and then act on that. Finding something that brings you joy should be something you experience every day. Care enough about yourself to make room for it!
