OVER THE BACK FENCE

Well, what a few weeks it’s been! What started out as a beautiful Saturday on the way to a long weekend turned nasty pretty quickly. The “derecho” that blew through the area brought down trees, hydro poles and threw lawn furniture around like a sumo wrestler. It didn’t take long to command our attention, and many of us lived for days without power. I want to give a shout out to all the hydro workers, from the line fixers to the customer service folks. Crews came in from across Canada and the US to fix more than 1,900 poles that had been snapped off like twigs. Driving through the area, I was amazed to see the destruction. Even in the follow-up rain and wind, these people were out climbing the poles and getting our power back on. I have a new appreciation for how hard they work! I was lucky to have friends who lent me their spare generator so I could

keep my fridge going. I headed up to the Buckhorn Community Centre to retrieve well water for my toilet. And, some of their volunteers showed up to help with cleanup, since a few large trees in the park came down. The Spring Craft Show, which was underway for the first time in two years when the storm hit, had to be cancelled on Sunday. Luckily, no-one was injured. It seems our weather patterns are changing, and experts are predicting more and violent storms this summer. So I’ve included an article in this issue about your emergency kit, and how important it is to be prepared. Because as we know, anything can happen! On another note, as I write this, the provincial election is now over. Doug Ford’s Conservatives beat the heck out of the competition, winning 83 seats. The sad part of this is that less than 50 percent of eligible voters came out. That’s a shame in our society where we have the right to voice our choice. Stay safe out there, no matter what you’re up to. And remember to be kind! editor@thepromoter.ca

FRESH WATER SUMMIT FESTIVAL IN COBY

After a two-year hiatus, Canada’s Fresh Water Summit Festival returns to Coboconk on June 18. Enjoy free family fun, featuring a pancake breakfast at Lions Hall from 9am to 11am. Artisans and community displays, local author meets, food trucks, and Kidzone activities such as Zoo to You, games, face painting and more are all available at Lion’s Park from 11am to 4pm. Later in the evening, return to the park and stay from 7pm to 11pm for live music by The Darren Hancock Band. This is a licensed event. The Summit Festival is more than just an excuse to come together as a community. It is also a celebration of history and a way to commemorate the value and importance of fresh water in Canada. The Summit celebrates Coboconk’s Balsam Lake as Canada’s highest body of fresh water from which you can reach the oceans without portaging, as designated by Parks Canada in 2009. This means you would be able to reach all four oceans by starting here in Coby without ever touching land. Ultimately, you would be able to travel anywhere in the world from Balsam Lake.

BIKEFEST RETURNS

Submitted by Leona Davies

Bikefest is a one-day motorcycle festival which takes place in downtown Bobcaygeon. This scenic town, located on Sturgeon Lake 90 minutes north of Toronto in the beautiful Kawarthas, is one of the main stops for motorcyclists due to its beautiful motorcycle routes in Ontario and is popular with many vacationers. It has been a great success over the past nine years, with this being the 10-year Anniversary celebration. Bikefest has been closed for the last two years due to COVID, but with acquiring new ownership, organizers want to breathe some life back into the community. Our goal is to increase the attendance by getting more involved with the local businesses and patrons and focusing on what we can do to help charities within the community by giving it a fresh new look with a unique vendor and entertainment platform. Being its 10th year, it has always been one of the most popular summer venues for motorcyclists all over Ontario and the US. There will be live music, great

food, and contests, with an expected 20,000 people in attendance. Through contests and sponsor donations for registered vendors from Pace Law and The Fallen Ride Support Team, we are raising moneys for local charities. All money raised will be given to Women’s Resources, the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes, the Bobcaygeon Royal Canadian Legion BR 239 and Guardians of the Children. Along with Kawartha Dairy, we will also be trying to fill the truck with non-perishable food items for the Bobcaygeon Food Bank. Bikefest is a fun free event for the whole community even if you don’t ride and all with a 50s, 60s and 70s theme. Come join us on June 11 from 10am to 6pm, rain or shine, to help make a difference for so many.

ONTARIO PROVINCIAL ELECTION 2022 CONSERVATIVES WIN MAJORITY IN ONTARIO

By Deb Crossen

The people have spoken (less than 50 percent of them), and Ontarians wake up this morning to another four years of Progressive Conservative power under leader Doug Ford. The Conservatives ran away with this one, winning 83 seats in the Legislature. That’s an increase of seven seats from the 2018 results. Andrea Horvath’s NDP will be the official opposition, finishing second with 31 seats. They took a hit on their numbers, down from 40 seats in 2018. At the end of the evening, Horvath told supporters she will step down as leader. The Liberals, with a dismal showing, saw their leader Steven Del Duca losing his seat in VaughanWoodbridge to the PC incumbent. Del Duca has said he will leave as party leader and wants a swift transition to new leadership. The Liberals managed to eke out only eight seats, but because they did not achieve the 12-seat minimum, they will lose their official party status (again). This means they lose some access and privileges like funding for research and staff. As well, all Liberal members must now operate as independents.

James Goodliff

In Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock, incumbent Laurie Scott of the PC party handily retained her seat, winning 25,656 votes. Laurie has represented the people of this riding five times since 2003. Here are the tallies for the other candidates in Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock: Barbara Doyle, NDP - 7,677 Doug McBey, Liberal Party - 6,606 Kerstin Kelly, Ontario Party - 3,863 Tom Regina, Green Party - 3,452 Ben Prentice, NBP - 866 Doug Balfour, LTN - 516 In Peterborough-Kawartha, PC incumbent Dave Smith was returned to office, beating his nearest opponent with 20,188 votes. Dave narrowly defeated his NDP rival in 2018 with just under 23,000 votes. This is Dave’s second term representing the people in Peterborough-Kawartha. Results for other candidates in PeterboroughKawartha: Greg Dempsey, Liberal Party - 16,021 Jen Deck, NDP - 11,210 Tom Marazzo, Ontario Party - 1,973 Robert Gibson, Green Party - 1,914 Rebecca Quinnell, NBP - 1,078 The Legislature will resume in September.

BREWERY RENEWS PARTNERSHIP

Fenelon Falls Brewing Co. and Kawartha Conservation are renewing their exciting partnership for a third year to bring back a popular beer while helping to support the environment. Extending on the very successful partnership since 2019, Fenelon Falls Brewing Co. is launching the unofficial beer of summer in the Kawarthas – the Kawartha Summer Ale. Popular with visitors and residents alike, the Kawartha Summer Ale was developed to be mediumbodied notes of citrus fruit, and designed to accompany summer afternoons as they unwind into evenings – fresh, balanced and sessionable. “This is a great success story,” said Kawartha Lakes Mayor and Chair of the Kawartha Conservation Board of Directors Andy Letham. “This is a perfect example of business supporting the environment and vice versa. When we work together and collaborate on these types of initiatives, everyone wins.” Located along the historic Trent Severn Waterway’s Lock 34, Fenelon Falls Brewing Co. has been a dedicated supporter of the environment since their opening. “We are proud of this unique partnership and believe it speaks to our values as a business,” said Head Brewer, Russell. Gibson. “You can’t be located in a historic building along the Trent Severn Waterway, next door to both Sturgeon and Cameron Lakes and not have a huge appreciation for our environment and for what the health of our lakes and rivers means from an environmental and economic standpoint.” Marking the third year of the partnership, Fenelon Falls Brewing Co., is hosting a special kick-off to summer at the brewery on Thursday, June 9. Mark your calendar and stay tuned for details on how you can get your tickets for this fantastic summer celebration with Kawartha Conservation and Fenelon Falls Brewing Co. Proceeds from the evening’s dinner will also go to support environmental initiatives across the watershed.

GLOBUS FUNDRAISING TO PURCHASE THE LAB

The last two years have been tough for all businesses, but Globus Theatre was hit hard. After cancelling two summer seasons, they’re looking forward to welcoming audiences back in 2022. But along the way, they got some harsh news – their venue, the Lakeview Arts Barn, was on the selling block. Sarah Quick and James Barrett, founders of Globus Theatre, spent months seeking professional advice from the theatre community as well as supporters. It was decided that they would embark on a fundraising campaign to purchase the great pink barn the troupe have called home for 16 years. With the $2 million, they will be able to purchase the Lakeview Arts Barn in its entirety, with some left over for making some repairs. According to their website, “This project will transition Globus Theatre from being a theatre in residence of the LAB to Globus

owning it’s own venue – a building that has been a social meeting place in this community for over 50 years.” Globus has already received the support from many in the community. This launch is spurred on by the backing of $1 million – 50 percent of the goal from anonymous donors, along with over $100,000 pledged and donated from stakeholders and supporters of the theatre. With the theatre approaching its 20th season next year, they hope that Globus Theatre will own its own building by the end of 2023. To find out how you can donate and/or get involved, visit www.lakeviewartsbarn.com.

ELVIS IS IN THE BUILDING!

On July 16, award winning singer Terry Chisholm will bring his Elvis style to the Buckhorn Community Centre. He will perform songs from Elvis, Roy Orbison and more than 160 other artists. Doors open at 7pm, with the show starting at 8pm. This is an age-of-majority event and there are limited tickets available. Tickets are $25 and include a light lunch

buffet. You can get them online at www. buckhorncommunitycentre.com or drop into the Centre weekdays from 9am to 4:30pm.

AVOIDING TICKS

The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit (HKPR District Health Unit) is reminding the community to watch for blacklegged (or deer) ticks that may carry the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. An individual can contract Lyme disease (Lyme) if bitten by an infected blacklegged tick, so prevention and early detection of tick bites are essential. With the return of the nicer weather, blacklegged ticks are active again, and more prevalent in some parts of the HKPR District Health Unit region. According to Public Health Ontario’s 2022 Lyme Disease Risk Map, all of Northumberland County and the southern part of the City of Kawartha Lakes are now considered highrisk areas for Lyme disease due to the known presence of blacklegged tick populations. “Wooded and natural areas are ideal places for blacklegged ticks to live, as they like to settle on tall grasses, branches and bushes, and then attach themselves to passing persons and animals,” says Richard Ovcharovich, Manager of Health Protection with the HKPR District Health Unit. “Once attached, a tick will feed on the host’s blood. The longer a blacklegged tick feeds, the more it becomes engorged and the greater the risk it can spread Lyme disease to a person if the tick is infected with the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.” Lyme disease is a serious illness that, left untreated, can lead to recurring arthritis, neurological problems, numbness, or paralysis. Lyme can be successfully remedied with antibiotics, and the earlier this treatment starts, the greater the chance of a successful recovery. “Prevention and early detection should be our priorities when it comes to ticks and avoiding Lyme Disease,” Ovcharovich notes. How to Avoid Blacklegged Ticks To avoid blacklegged ticks, the HKPR District Health Unit suggests you do the following: • Apply bug spray containing DEET on your skin and clothing. • Wear closed-toe shoes, long-sleeved shirts and pants. • Pull socks over your pant legs if possible. • Stay on marked trails when walking in a nature area. • To keep ticks away from your property, cut grass short and trim bushes and branches to let in sunlight. More prevention tips and resources are available on the HKPR District Health Unit website hkpr.on.ca. How to Remove a Tick and When to Seek Medical Advice If you notice a tick on your body, remove it as soon as possible. There are many tick removal products available, so be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. If using finely tipped tweezers, grasp the head of the tick as close to the skin as possible. Pull it slowly, straight out. Immediately after, wash the bite area with soap and water, or alcohol-based sanitizer. Residents are encouraged to seek medical attention if a blacklegged tick has been attached for

more than 24 hours or is engorged (meaning it has been feeding for some time). You should also see a doctor if you experience symptoms of Lyme disease, such as skin rash, fever, chills, headache, stiff neck, and muscle/joint pain. Signs and symptoms of Lyme disease can vary from person to person after being bitten by a tick. Testing for Lyme Disease While the HKPR District Health Unit no longer accepts blacklegged ticks for testing, residents are encouraged to use the free eTick website to identify if a tick is the type that could spread Lyme disease. To use the eTick site: • Submit a photo of the tick • You will then be notified within 48 hours if the tick is the type that may spread Lyme disease • You can then determine what additional care you need, including whether to see a health care provider For individuals who want to have a tick tested for the presence of Lyme disease, there are several private labs that can test the tick on a fee-for-service basis. “It’s time to prevent Lyme by avoiding blacklegged ticks that can spread illness,” Ovcharovich says. “Doing so is a recipe for fabulous outdoor activities, trips and discoveries this summer.”

BE EMERGENCY PREPARED

After the derecho that blew through the Kawarthas on May 21, many were left powerless (literally) by the storm for several days. With the summer season upon us, and the ongoing threat of more, and more violent, storms, from the government of Canada’s website comes this handy list of contents for an emergency kit. Water: Two litres of water per person per day (and, if you’re on a well, handy jugs of non-potable water for flushing the toilet). Food: Canned food, energy bars and dried foods that won’t spoil are a great idea. Manual can opener: Without power, you can’t run the electric one! First aid kit: Bandages, antibiotic ointment, gauze, small scissors, tweezers and at least two day’s supply of any essential medications. Extra keys: Pack in an extra set of keys for the car, your house and any other essential equipment. Flashlight: Always a good idea to have a couple of flashlights handy for all members of the family, along with spare batteries. Documents: Put together a copy of all your important family documents including insurance and bank records, medication list, etc.

June 3, 2022 - The Kawartha Promoter

Candles: Handy to have in your kit but make sure you have a lighter and/or matches as well. Personal hygiene items: Pack in a face cloth, small towel, bar of soap, feminine hygiene products (if you need them), kleenex, toilet paper, hand sanitizer and garbage bags. Mobile device charger: Even without power, you can charge up your cell phone or ipad in the car, so make sure you’ve got a spare charger. Clothes: Throw some socks, underwear, extra t-shirt and jeans and a spare pair of shoes into a bag to keep at the ready in case you need to leave your home. Pet food and supplies: Fido and Fluffy need to be kept fed and watered as well, so put some dry food into a zip lock bag and take it with you.

KLFS CELEBRATES WITH SALSA The Kawartha Lakes Food Source (KLFS) celebrated their first anniversary of salsa sales on May 20. The proceeds from KLFS Salsa are invested into operating expenses such as rent, allowing them to continue to deliver food access and food literacy programs within the City of Kawartha Lakes. Back in early 2020, KLFS put an online poll out to the community asking them what type of KLFS food product they would be most interested in purchasing. Salsa won by a landslide, with over 70 percent of respondents choosing it over the alternative options. Over the course of 2020, KLFS worked quietly at product ideation, recipe development, marketing

assessments, and regulatory compliance. The final recipe was developed in collaboration with George Brown College’s Food Innovation and Research Studio, and the salsa was produced by KLFS staff and volunteers alongside the knowledgeable employees of the Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre. To date, they have produced over 6,000 jars of salsa which have been on local store shelves for one year.Original retail locations continue to include Reid’s Valu-Mart, Farmer’s Butcher Shop, Mariposa Woolen Mill, Fresh FueLL and Burns Bulk Food with an additional seven locations including: Bigley’s Shoes and Clothing (Bobcaygeon), Craftworks and Antiques at the Barn (Fowlers Corner), Living Local Marketplace

Diversifying our streams of income is a priority for our team as a way of mitigating risk and ensuring we can always be relied on by our member agencies and our community during times of need.” “We were honoured to be the 2021 Social Innovation Award of Excellence winner from the Lindsay and District Chamber of Commerce.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) It will be up to you, Virgo, to make changes that may be necessary to make your life and those of others better. No one else can do this - only you. Take stock of what needs to be done and act on it.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Watch the workload, Aries! People may try to put extra expectations on you whether at your job or outside of it. Say no – if it’s something you just don’t want to do or feel you cannot manage right now. Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone. NOT! There is no need to ‘cry alone’, dear Taurus. Reach out! Find someone to share your pain – and talk to someone! Saying it out loud can make a huge difference. Gemini (May 22 to June 22) A surprising message via social media may grace your screen soon, Gemini. Act wisely! Don’t get carried away with silly nonsense! Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Tread carefully with the one you love, Cancer. Do not take them for granted. It is a sure-fire way to make them unloved and replaceable – and you don’t want the consequences of that!

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Never forget to spend time with family and friends, Libra. Life is fragile and precious – don’t let it slip by without those who love you. Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) The sun WILL come up tomorrow, Scorpio – but, yes, the skies may be cloudy and you won’t be able to see it. Sometimes we just have to believe and know it’s there, even though it’s invisible to our eyes. We might feel the same about our own strength - we can’t actually see it, but it is surely within us. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Disregard those who would judge you, Sag! There may be many who do not understand that someone’s life can be different from the ones they lead. Don’t let them knock you down! Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Perhaps there are people who are treating you poorly, dear Capricorn. There may be a reason they behave the way they do, BUT it is not your job to find out why. That’s on them. What you need to do is step back from the fray and detach yourself from their anger/anxiety/pain.
