OVER THE BACK FENCE

Our Canada Day issue is usually filled with news about local events celebrating this great country we call home. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s celebrations will look a whole lot different!

Instead of large gatherings of people at parades, yard sales, and fireworks, we will be safe distancing with a few friends or family on our own decks and docks. This year, in particular, we should be thanking our lucky stars that we live in Canada, a nation whose leader cares about the millions of citizens affected by the pandemic.

All of those people who have not stopped working to help keep us safe, from healthcare workers, cleaners, grocery store workers and so many others ... we thank you! For your sacrifice of family time, risking

your lives to help others and give our country a fighting chance to beat the virus at its own game, a great big virtual hug from me!

I am so proud to be a Canadian.

I always have been ... but during the past few months never more so. We have seen communities rally to prop each other up, businesses change the way they manufacture to make safety equipment for our hospitals and other front-line workers, and individuals raising money to help our not-for-profit organizations stay afloat. We need to do whatever we can to help our local businesses come back from this. Please shop local whenever you are able and keep fighting the good fight.

But it’s not just those in power, or those who work in essential businesses who have helped get us through this.

It’s each and every Canadian who has stepped up ... stayed home ... and continue to wear masks, wash their hands and practice safe distancing. We are all in this together and, as a nation, have shown the world what it means to be Canadian.

City Hall MAYOR’S MESSAGE

June 24 marks three months since we’ve been under a state of emergency, which has now been extended by the province until July 15. The reason we are still under a state of emergency is because the pandemic is not over. The health unit is telling us to assume everyone we come in contact with has the virus. Think about that for a minute and act accordingly. There is no vaccine yet and every day we hear of numbers rising across the globe. Do not become lazy when it comes to taking precautions and do not take on the attitude that this is over, because we are far from it.

That being said, we are continuing to work with all local partners to help keep moving things forward.

Many local businesses have had to change the way they operate in order to welcome customers back. As a community, we need to support our economy by recognizing the challenges in place and appreciating the hard work that’s gone into keeping everyone safe.

This means respecting rules in place, being patient with storefronts and staff and most importantly, taking responsibility for our own actions so that we do not put others at risk.

This also applies to those who are visiting – welcome, but if you are here, you are also responsible for keeping our community safe. Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our municipality and we will only welcome those who recognize and respect that.

It is vital that we do not get caught in the mentality

that the pandemic is over. The province is allowing regions to open in small stages because right now it’s still difficult to predict what the future holds. As we continue to take steps forward, we all need to remain vigilance and not get complacent.

Even though you may not be able to participate in your usual traditions, I want to encourage you to celebrate the holidays. Today, we commemorate the country that we live in, the community that surrounds us and the pride we have in who we are.

On behalf of myself and Council, have a safe and happy Canada Day in the Kawartha Lakes.

CKL’S CANADA DAY IN 2020

Submitted by City of Kawartha Lakes

Although our traditional Canada Day plans are cancelled this year, that does not mean we cannot still celebrate all things Canada. From social circle barbecues to patriotic lawn décor, join in on the fun by sharing with us how you are celebrating Canada Day the 2020 way.

You could be featured in a Canada Day video compilation the municipality is putting together.

Throughout the week, show us how you plan to celebrate Canada Day and take part in the three ways to show how we are all #KawarthaLakesStrong: • Oh Canada sing-a-long: Video your family singing Oh Canada by a local landmark, on a lake or in a boat, at your favourite patio, your home or anywhere it is safe to do so.

• Decorating kit: Sign up by June 28 for a kit of 50 miniature Canadian flags to decorate your yard, porch, storefront, bicycle or even yourself! Kits will be delivered to your home or business while supplies last.

• Show your spirit: Post photos and videos to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and include the #KawarthaLakesStrong hashtag.

To sign up for a kit and to upload your photos and videos, please visit www.kawarthalakes.ca. The video will be posted on the City of Kawartha Lakes’ channels and participating media outlets on July 1, so you can watch and share it on Canada Day. Another exciting part of Canada Day 2020 is a temporary art installation project that’s being produced by artists across Kawartha Lakes in cooperation with the Kawartha Arts Gallery and the Kawartha Arts Network. These works of art will be made from miniature Canadian flags.

The Kawartha Arts Network Inc. is a not-forprofit artists’ co-operative that finds opportunities for members to share their work with the public

throughout the Kawartha Lakes and beyond.

The Kawartha Art Gallery is dedicated to fostering awareness, enhancement and enjoyment of the Arts through its collections, exhibitions and programming for the benefit of the citizens of the City of Kawartha Lakes. The Kawartha Art Gallery provides a venue to foster and promote the artistic interests of all citizens.

They are not just a Gallery, but a community service — accessible to all, advocating for artists, educating our youth and so much more.

EMERGENCY FUNDING

BUSINESSES GIVE BACK

Being community-minded comes naturally to Leslie Clarkson of Scotsman Point Resort in Buckhorn. And when the COVID-19 pandemic continued, she wanted to show appreciation for the front-line workers.

She organized a contest to award some time at the resort to a deserving front-line worker. Other local businesses – Buckhorn Foodland, Pizza Alloro and the Canoe & Paddle in Lakefield – stepped up to give prizes as well.

The response to the contest was overwhelming, and a committee of judges decided to award three prizes instead.

Kristy Asling works in the COVID-19 Unit at Peterborough Regional Health Centre. A single mother of three young children, Kristy has worked since the beginning of the pandemic and made a tough decision to stay away from her children to help keep them safe.

Kristy is also a volunteer firefighter in Trent Lakes.

She won a full week stay at Scotsman Point Resort this summer, a $75 gift card from Foodland, a Pizza Alloro pizza dinner and four dinners from the Canoe & Paddle.

Peterborough Paramedic Melissa Packman and PSW Thomas Flynn were also awarded for their efforts during the pandemic. Each will receive a 3-night midweek stay at the resort and dinner from the Canoe & Paddle.

Lost revenue due to COVID-19 will have an immediate and devastating impact on the ability of our local government to deliver the vital services we all rely on.

For the City of Kawartha Lakes, the current revenue loss due to COVID-19 stands at $3.2 million.

Municipal governments provide vital services that include emergency response, transit, public housing, long term care, day care, libraries, recreation and many more services we take for granted on a daily basis.

We have already seen municipalities who are facing serious financial shortfalls, being forced to defer important projects, reduce services and lay off, furlough or redeploy the workers that provide these services.

Municipal governments are an important economic driver in our communities and in the greater Canadian economy. The emerging municipal crisis could act as a destabilizing force for our national economy. In addition, mass funding shortfalls at the municipal level would result in significant delays in local economic

The Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario

Happy Canada Day, Ontario!

Today is a day worthy of celebration, even as, in common with citizens around the globe, we continue to face a crisis virtually unknown to living generations.

The world has been turned on its head. My first thoughts are with those who have succumbed to COVID-19, and their families.

The stories of the last few months tell of hardship and inequality. They have exposed weaknesses in the economic and social systems upon which we rely, and have confirmed our interdependence with those beyond our neighbourhoods and our country. We grieve collectively.

But in equal measure, we are witnessing empathy, collaboration, creativity, and courage. Deserving of special gratitude are the many frontline workers who are bravely leading us through this crisis, and also the millions of people across Ontario, especially seniors, who are, at great personal cost, doing the right thing and staying home to prevent the spread of the virus.

We see all orders of government working in common cause, making evidence-based decisions; businesses and industries demonstrating ingenuity as they retool; civil society empowered by digital tools to nurture cohesive communities; scientists and researchers racing with single focus to develop a vaccine; and arts and cultural organizations, in solidarity and kindness, bringing moments of awe and wonder into our homes.

There is an unmistakable hunger for normalcy. As we all do our part in the coming months to envision what a “better normal” could be, let us dare to dream of a world that works for everyone. Perhaps the first step is to listen to those who are hurting and to engage in thoughtful and respectful conversations about what we have learned and what needs to change.

As Her Majesty The Queen’s representative in Ontario, I pay tribute to Indigenous people who have stewarded these lands for thousands of years and countless generations. There is inspiration in the special relationship between First Peoples and the Crown. May we also pay attention to people from all walks of life, including those marginalized and impoverished, who continue to raise their voices in support of social and economic justice. We all deserve to live with dignity.

Throughout this journey, I have been reassured and inspired by you, the people of Ontario. Together you have demonstrated uncommon generosity of spirit and an exceptional drive for resilience.

Ours is a caring nation. It is together that we will save lives and livelihoods. This is a once-in-ageneration opportunity. And that is why, in the midst of adversity, we celebrate the promise of Canada.

A GRAND SHOW OF SUPPORT

Submitted by RMH

When Sophie Frain received Dr. Jeremy Jones’ Heroes at Heart appeal letter in the mail, she was inspired to support the need for COVID-related equipment and technology at the Ross Memorial, and to replace the hospital’s fleet of ECGs. So she teamed up with her grandmother, Janice, and reached out to friends, family and neighbours urging them to ‘donate fast for a grandma-made mask!’

With a donation of $300, Sophie’s mother, Melanie, sent the following letter to the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation: “My daughter Sophie received your letter from Dr. Jones. Sophie came up with an idea to raise money.

She asked her grandma, Janice Frain, to make cloth masks. Together we then created a poster for family and friends asking for their support. Sophie offered to deliver one mask for every $5 donated to this great cause. Her goal was to raise $100. She suggested donating direct to your website and also collected money, with masks delivered. Some of our great community members donated without a mask given so she could ask more people.

Today I’m very proud to be donating $300. We are even more proud of Ross Memorial Hospital for the outstanding service provided to our community every

day. As coincidence would have it, Sophie herself had to visit the Emergency department and under the care of the wonderful, Dr. Dawn Reid, received an ECG test. Thanks very much!”

“We are touched by Sophie’s determination to make a difference to patients at the Ross and we’re grateful to everyone who responded to her request,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “Her desire to help her local hospital and her efforts to engage her family as well as friends and neighbours in her philanthropic endeavour are why we say donors are heroes at heart!”

PROVINCE REMAINS ‘CLOSED’

In consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, the Ontario government has extended the provincial Declaration of Emergency to July 15, 2020.

This extension, approved by the Ontario Legislature earlier today, provides Ontario with the additional time, flexibility, and the necessary tools to safely and gradually allow more places to reopen, while continuing to support frontline health care providers in the fight against COVID-19.

“As we gradually and safely reopen our economy, our frontline care providers can continue to rely on these emergency orders to better protect our seniors and most vulnerable citizens and provide the flexibility to put resources where they’re needed most,” said Premier Doug Ford. “We are hopeful that another extension of the Declaration of Emergency will not be needed as we see improvements in the public health trends and as people and businesses continue to act responsibly and adapt to the new environment.”

The provincial Declaration of Emergency enables the government to make, and as needed amend, emergency orders that protect the health and safety of all Ontarians. Emergency orders in force under the Declaration of Emergency include those allowing frontline care providers to redeploy staff to areas most in need, limiting long-term care and retirement home employees to working at one home, and enabling public health units to redeploy or hire staff to support the province’s enhanced case management and contact tracing strategy. These measures continue to be needed to protect seniors and other vulnerable populations from the threat of COVID-19. The extension of the Declaration of Emergency will allow the province to make or amend emergency orders as needed as it continues to ease restrictions in support of its phased reopening.

In consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, the government will continue to monitor public health trends related to COVID-19 and assess on an ongoing basis whether the provincial Declaration

of Emergency needs to be extended further. The government will also continue to review emergency orders currently in place to determine when and if it is safe to amend or lift them as more places in the province are allowed to reopen in a safe and measured way.

STITCHING A STRONGER RELATIONSHIP

Submitted by Brenda Wall

This is a story of how a quilt and a quilted banner can help build relationships between Settlers and Indigenous People.

The brutal murder of George Floyd has sparked worldwide anger and calls to step up anti-racism activities everywhere.

We have also witnessed killings of Indigenous people by police in different parts of Canada. The month of June was Indigenous History month and like many other groups, Truth and Reconciliation Community - Bobcaygeon (TRC Bobcaygeon) has been reflecting on our mission and our actions. How can a quilt possibly contribute to the fight against racism?

In 2015, TRC - Bobcaygeon started up initially as a response to the attack on Manoomin (wild rice) and Indigenous harvesters on Pigeon Lake. Although Manoomin is still a central issue, this group of settlers has worked on many issues over the past 5 years.

Back in 2011, Kawartha Truth and Reconciliation Support Group (KTRSG) created an educational quilt which documents the atrocious history of residential schools in Canada. Curve Lake First Nation Elder, Alice Williams is co-Chair of the KTRSG and after Alice facilitated a workshop with TRC Bobcaygeon in 2019, the group decided to make one, too. The TRC Bobcaygeon quilt will be featured in coming issues.

FOCUS ON MATH FUNDAMENTALS

The Ontario government has released the province’s new elementary math curriculum to better prepare students for work in a rapidly changing world, strengthen math competence and improve grades.

The curriculum was developed over two years in consultation with parents, math educators, academics and math education experts, and is designed to reverse a decade of declining math scores. It will be available to students across the province beginning in September 2020.

“I made a promise to parents that we would fix the broken education system we inherited, get back to basics, and teach our children the math fundamentals they need for lifelong success,” said Premier Doug Ford. “Today, our government is delivering on that promise with the first-ever math curriculum in Canada for Grades 1-8 that includes the teaching of coding and financial literacy, both critical skills that will help our students prepare for and succeed in the modern world and in the modern workforce.”

The new math curriculum for Grades 1-8 will: • Build understanding of the value and use of money through mandatory financial literacy concepts; • For the first time, teach coding or computer If you have been wondering about QBO and what it can do for your small business, Cloudkeep Accounting Services Inc. has an offer for you!

SUMMER WATER SAFETY

Submitted by HKPR Health Unit

Residents are being reminded that it’s not business as usual if they head out to enjoy the sun, sand and surf this summer.

The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit begins its beach water testing program this week in Kawartha Lakes. As it does, beachgoers are reminded that it’s important to take steps to remain safe, both in and out of the water.

“It’s not just E.coli and other bacteria in the water we need to watch for, but also potential exposure to COVID-19,” says Bernie Mayer, Health Protection Manager with the HKPR District Health Unit. “We can still enjoy a day at the beach, as it’s great for our wellbeing to be active and outdoors. The key thing is to know before you go what’s needed to stay safe.”

Prevention starts by checking with the Health Unit to see if a beach is safe for swimming. Between now and Labour Day, the Health Unit will test local beaches for E.coli levels in the water. Results will be updated every Thursday/Friday on the Health Unit website (www.hkpr.on.ca). Warning signs are posted at local beaches as well to indicate to users if the water is safe. Information is also available by calling 1-866888-4577, ext. 5006.

This year, the Health Unit is moving to a threecolour system of reporting beach results: • Green means a beach is open/safe for swimming.

• Yellow is a warning that high counts of bacteria may be present in the water and swimming is not advised at this time as it may lead to illness.

If people choose to swim, they should avoid dunking their heads or swallowing water.

• Red means a beach is closed due to high levels of bacteria that make it unsafe for swimming.

Mayer also encourages people to check with their local municipality about the status of beaches beforehand. Some may be closed this summer due to the pandemic. Others may have COVID-19 restrictions in place such as limits on the number of vehicles or beachgoers allowed on the beach in order to maintain physical distancing. “Be patient and follow directions on signs or from municipal staff present at the beach,” Mayer says. “If you arrive at a beach and find it’s crowded making it difficult to stay 2 metres (6 feet) apart, have a backup plan to do another fun activity.”

The Health Unit also offers these additional prevention tips on beach use during COVID-19:

•

NOW OPEN 10

June 26, 2020 - The Kawartha Promoter

• • •

•

Stay home if you or any member of your family is sick.

Visit a beach closer to your home to reduce travel and the risk of spreading the virus elsewhere.

Bring hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes to use at the beach, especially if soap and water are unavailable.

Use items like tents, umbrellas, blankets, pool noodles or hula hoops to help keep your distance from others on the beach. These items can be especially good visual reminders for children.

Avoid swallowing water, spitting or spouting while swimming.

IT’S TURTLE TIME AGAIN

Submitted by Leora Burman, The Land Between

Our region is home to some incredible wildlife.

Some of these creatures we have the opportunity to see, others we don’t. At this time of year, turtles come out of ‘hiding’ to nest and roam along the country roads looking for the perfect spot to lay eggs.

It’s important for the ecosystem to watch out for them, help them across the road when it is safe to do so and, if you come across an injured turtle, to get some help. Here are some turtle nesting facts to help you get to know them better.

• Turtles, especially the common snapping turtle, are essential to fish and wildlife population and our own wellbeing: they consume dead matter (dead fish, frogs and pollywogs) from the bottom of lakes, removing harmful bacteria that would affect fish and wildlife, and would make it difficult for us to use and enjoy these waters. They consume mostly seeds in the natural environment, and then spread them across vast territories which creates new fish nurseries and wetlands. These areas in turn support more than 70 percent of Ontario’s wildlife. They cycle nutrients. And their eggs are a source of food for other wildlife. Without turtles, aquatic habitats, water quality, and fish and wildlife populations would be at risk.

• Turtles (based on snapping turtle studies in Algonquin park) can take up to 60 years from when they were born to replace themselves. They need to reach 20 to 30 years of age before they can lay eggs, and then it is another 30 years until one egg/hatchling succeeds to reach adulthood.

• The older the turtle the less natural predators they have and the more eggs they lay. Therefore the adults are important cornerstones for populations to succeed. The greatest threat now to adult turtles are road injuries and death and deliberate kills or removal from their territories by humans that are afraid of them or have been taught by past generations that they are more like rodents or pests. Moving a turtle may result in its death.

Turtles imprint their territories at a young age and may not survive in other areas (may not find hibernation sites etc.)

• Snapping turtles are the best lake-janitors • Snappers rarely, if ever, bite under water. Confirmed cases are when individuals have been fishing off a dock and then dangle feet at the same location,

confusing the turtle. Snappers snap on land in defence and only when provoked or threatened.

The jaw strength of snapping turtle is less than a human molar.

• More than 80 percent of nest are predated in exurban areas because meso-predators (middlesized mammals) such as skunks, raccoons, and foxes, are more prolific and successful near human habitation. This is called subsidized predation.

You can help turtles by calling us if you see one; we have trained teams and special permits to excavate nests and incubate eggs; we are working to identify opportunities to install specialized fencing to direct turtles under roads; and we are conducting population and DNA studies.

You can also volunteer as a turtle guardian, and do road research, watch a wetland, babysit nesting turtles and more!

If a turtle has nested on your property you can install a nest cage protector. The design is on our website.

Then you can watch the young emerge.

COVID-19 EFFECTS ON FOOD BANKS

Submitted by Kawartha Lakes Food Source

In March of this year, food banks in the region, and across Canada, saw an unprecedented spike in the number of individuals needing support. After the government of Ontario declared a state of emergency, KLFS’ 10 member food banks saw a 44% increase to usage in less than a month. This 44 percent increase approximately equals 500 additional individuals.

Meeting this need was incredibly challenging and was only possible thanks to the overwhelming support from the community. Countless brave and healthy volunteers stepped up to run food banks largely on their own, in order to allow majority of the volunteer pool to isolate safely at home and hundreds of community

members donated significant amounts of items and funds to make sure that food banks could restock after the surge in demand.

Since March, the numbers of families and individuals accessing food banks in the City of Kawartha Lakes has decreased, largely thanks to the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB). In the same way that social distancing has “flattened the curve” for COVID-19, CERB has “flattened the curve” of food bank usage.

CERB has provided enough support to those who have lost wages due to the pandemic to mitigate the strain on food banks across the country.

With CERB set to expire mid July, there are some very serious concerns among food banks, including those in our region, that demand will once again quickly overwhelm the food bank system unless the support is extended.

“We know that many people who were laid off due to the pandemic will not be able to reintegrate into the workforce right away as the economy slowly rebuilds,” says Heather Kirby, Executive Director of the Kawartha Lakes Food Source. “Even those returning to work will likely face significantly decreased hours. These unemployed or underemployed people will have no choice but to turn to food banks for support once their savings run out or credits are maxed out. Our member food banks, and food banks across the country, are already stretched thin. Another large wave of increase to food bank use would be incredibly difficult to manage. We stand with Food Banks Canada in urging the Canadian government to extend the CERB as long as necessary to support those affected by the economic fallout of the pandemic.”

At this time, all 10 of the Kawartha Lakes Food Source member food banks remain open but with alterations to operations to ensure the safety of volunteers and the community. If you are in need of food bank support, please visit www.kawarthalakesfoodsource.com and click on “Find a Food Bank”. From the list of food banks, identify the food bank located closest to you and give them a call to make an appointment or hear more about changes they’ve made to operations in light of COVID-19.

LOCAL RESTAURANT DEVASTATED BY FIRE

As if the local losses from COVID-19 weren’t enough, the Bobcaygeon community is once again reeling from the destruction of a local business.

Riley’s Bar & Grill, which opened in February and re-opened its patio just this month, was devastated by fire on June 24.

Don and Laurie Riley posted on their Facebook page: “This morning we received a call saying our restaurant was on fire. We are beyond upset and in total shock that this has even happened! Everyone is thankfully safe. We want to thank all the fire fighters who’ve worked tirelessly to put out the flames! Rileys is now closed, we will be reaching out to all reservations to let them know.”

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

KEEP THE BEARS AWAY

On June 23, 2020, shortly before 10pm, members of the Haliburton Highlands Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were called to investigate car entries in the area of Kennaway Road and Dudley Road in Haliburton.

The investigation revealed a bear with an interesting talent of opening unlocked car doors. Officers spoke with residents in the area and the bear had opened more than 10 vehicles over the previous nights. Police are requesting residents keep car doors locked and make certain there is nothing inside their vehicles that could be food for a hungry bear. Many of the vehicles entered by the bear were significantly damaged.

The OPP and MNRF would like to remind residents that black bears live in most parts of Ontario. Most human-bear encounters occur when bears are attracted by smells, so removing potential attractants will help avoid unwarranted visitors. Knowing what to do if you come across a bear, as not every bear sighting is an emergency situation - and keeping your property free of bear attractants - is being Bear Wise.

Reduce the Chances of Attracting Bears • Storing garbage in bear-resistant, airtight containers inside a storage area that is not accessible to bears • Washing garbage containers and dumpsters 12

June 26, 2020 - The Kawartha Promoter

frequently using a strong disinfectant to reduce odours • Putting out garbage on the morning of garbage collection - not the night before • Keeping pet food indoors • Removing grease and food residue from barbecue grills, including the grease trap, after each use • Putting away bird feeders until the winter months • Turning compost regularly and keeping meat, fish or sweet foods like fruit out of your composter • Keeping meat and fish scraps in the freezer until garbage collection day • Picking fruits and berries from trees as they ripen and from the ground.

If You Encounter a Bear • If your personal safety is at risk, call 911 or your local police • Remain calm - often the bear is just passing through, and will move on if no food source is found • If a bear is in a tree, leave it alone and remove other people and dogs from the area • Keep away from the bear, and do not block its exit • Tell others of its location and warn them to keep away, and bring children and pets indoors • If near a building or car, get inside as a precaution • Keep dogs on leash and away from bears • If you have a problem with a bear, call the Bear Wise line toll-free at 1-866-514-2327 for advice on how to avoid human-bear encounters during bear season (April 1 to November 30).

Tips to Avoid Encounters with Bears • Bears have a keen sense of smell and excellent hearing however their eyesight is limited so it is important to make noise when you move through heavily wooded areas which will alert the bear to your presence.

• Singing, whistling or talking will alert bears to your presence, giving them a chance to avoid you.

• Keep your eyes and ears open for signs of a bear like tracks, claw marks on trees or droppings.

• DO NOT wear headphones.

• Be aware of your surroundings, especially if you are doing activities outside (i.e. hiking, jogging, cycling, gardening, berry picking or camping) where bears may not realize you are there.

• If you are out with a dog, keep it on a leash.

Uncontrolled, untrained dogs may actually lead a bear to you.

What to Do If you Spot a Bear • Slowly back away while keeping the bear in sight.

• If you are near a building or vehicle, get inside as precaution.

• Notify the police by calling 911 if a bear poses an immediate threat to personal safety • MNRF staff work closely with OPP officers by supporting them with training on problem wildlife situations.

Persons spotting bears in the community and wanting to make a report and get advice on dealing with bears in the community are asked to call the tollfree Bear Wise Reporting line at 1-866-514-2327 (TTY 705-945-7641).

Active from mid-May through to the fall, mosquitoes are the most persistent pests of the backcountry. If you want to survive the summer months up north, we recommend you take some precautionary measures. Avoidance

In order to avoid mosquitoes, you must understand them, at least a little bit. There are 67 species of mosquito in Ontario. Fortunately, only some mosquito species bite humans and of those, only the females suck (we are speaking figuratively and literally here!).

So I guess we don’t hate ALL mosquitoes…

Our least favourite mosquito, the female mother, spends her 2-week life in search of blood hosts (you and your family) and a moist environment to lay eggs. Where male mosquitoes feed primarily on plant sugars, female mosquitoes require the proteins found in blood in order to produce eggs. She then lays her eggs in still or slow moving water such as puddles, bird baths and ponds. In 2 to 3 days, those eggs will hatch into mosquito larvae and it won’t be long after that they will be all grown up and flying on their own!.

It makes sense to avoid standing water. Mosquitos will avoid the mid-day sun, hanging out in shady, forested areas during the day. But just before dusk, they come out and will swarm your property until dawn. So enjoy the sunshine during the day and head inside at dusk.

Personal Defense

www.JamesGoodliff.ca

A general rule of thumb is, the less skin exposure the better. If you’re outside where and when mosquitoes are abundant, make sure to wear long sleeves and pants. Loosely fitted clothing is best as it makes it difficult for the little monsters to bite you through the fabric. You might also add another layer, invest in a bug jacket and head net. Some studies suggest that mosquitoes are attracted to dark colours or areas of high-contrast. Just to be extra safe, consider keeping your summer wardrobe lighter in colour.

The principal way in which mosquitoes detect a blood meal is through smell. Unfortunately, the carbon dioxide we exhale is a dead giveaway to our location. Once mosquitoes get a whiff of CO2, other factors come into play. They are drawn to body heat and from there it is the unique smells of individuals that determine who is a good meal. Scientists haven’t quite figured out who smells good and why, but if you don’t want to add any extra incentive, skip the scented products when you’re getting ready.

When all else fails, there is DEET. DEET is the main ingredient in insect repellents and is one of the most effective ways of deterring mosquitoes. If you follow package directions, it should be safe to use. If you do not wish to risk chemical insect repellents near your body or in the environment in general, consider checking out some natural alternatives that are quite effective too!

Prevention

Prevent those pests from making your property home and prevent the loss of sanity that comes with

constant buzzing and itching. While insecticides might seem like the obvious answer here, they’re not always the healthiest option for you, your family or for the local wildlife.

There are plenty of animals that rely on insects for food and some insects, such as damselflies and dragonflies, actually eat mosquitoes. Dragonflies can consume upwards of 2,000 mosquitoes in one night!

And dragonflies are attracted to natural habitats.

Bats can eat over 4,000 in one night and some birds upwards of 10,000.

Luckily, there are many natural and effective methods for mosquito control. Begin by minimizing suitable breeding habitat on your property. Clean out rain gutters, clogged drains, bird baths, even pet water dishes.

You can’t fight nature, but you can arm yourself.

Horoscopes

June 26 to July 9

By Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Remember, Aquarius, how important it is to always let your loved ones know how much they mean to you. Tell them. Often! Why not every day?

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) We are all “searching” for something or someone to fill our lives, Pisces. Remember this when you might lean toward judging a person -- we are all vulnerable in one way or another.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Try not to be triggered by others, and their negativity and/or nastiness, dear Aries.

Learn to ‘pay no attention’, if at all possible. Disregard, and move on with your own personal journey.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) We think flowers will be significant for you, Taurus, in this phase. You may be receiving some, or you may just discover their beauty and gifts in a natural setting. Enjoy!

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Are you longing for some silliness in your life, Gemini, to get you through the pandemic? Don’t wait for someone else to make it happen. Go for it, yourself -- and have fun making fun!

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) The full moon rising July 5 -- the seventh moon of Creation to the Indigenous people -- has many names, Cancer: Buck; Raspberry; Thunder; and Hay, each representing events occurring during the month. It is considered a time a great change. Use this time for whatever makes you happy, always practising gentleness and kindness.

Local Trades & Services

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Parting is definitely a “sweet sorrow”, dear Leo, and there’s a good chance you will experience this in the next while as you move ahead with your life. Never fear - those left behind will always remember you with great endearment and think of you often in the years to come.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Virgo, you are cordially invited to shine the spotlight on yourself! We know you don’t like to brag, but this time we say ‘do it’. Your accomplishments from the past few months really should be shared!

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Life may seem to be full of twists and turns, ups and downs, right now, Libra, but be assured you are on the right path, headed in the best direction. So, stay the course as best you can!

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Scorpio, never - and we mean never - hold a grudge. It is not worth the trouble to yourself. YOU are the one you are hurting. Deal with the issue and your anger, and then move on.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Your friends and family know you are strong and resilient in times of turmoil, Sagittarius. You are always there. You are someone to whom they can turn in time of need -- and you always come through for them.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 21) “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”: Lao Tze. So, you see, Capricorn, there is little reason to rush about worrying about getting things done as quickly as possible. Time and Mother Nature will take care of everything.
