OVER THE BACK FENCE
In this climate of COVID-19, have you found that the smallest thing – a new sound in your house, a different ache or pain, or other random thoughts – has become something to worry about? Recently, I did some deep cleaning of my office at home. The next day, I woke up with a very runny nose. A few days later, a headache appeared. At first, of course, I thought it was just allergies (although I’ve never had allergies before). So my friendly pharmacist gave me some antihistamines to clear it up. They seemed to work a bit, but the nose got runnier and the headache didn’t go away. So, after overthinking it for a few days and checking in with Doctor Google, I decided to get a COVID test for my own peace of mind. Looking back on my actions for a few weeks prior to the symptoms, I was always masked in public, washed or sanitized my hands after every trip out to the grocery store (which is really
Bobcaygeon 41 Country Rd. 36. 705-738-2121 • 1-888-472-6006
the only place I’ve been) and had not been within six feet of anyone, least of all anyone inside my home! So if I did have COVID (said my logical brain), where would I have picked it up? With all these new variants floating around and limited information about them, I thought perhaps that was it. Again, because being alone gives one a lot of time to ruminate over everything, I was sure I’d become infected with a variant. The good news ... I tested negative for COVID-19. The bad news ... the realization that, after 65 years, I now have allergies! And another lesson learned, cleaning CAN be bad for your health! As the vaccine rollout continues, I’m hoping to be on someone’s shot list soon. In the meantime, I’ve decided to turn off my overthink brain and just go with the flow. I hope you are all staying safe and well. Remember, wear your mask, wash your hands and most of all, be kind to one another! editor@thepromoter.ca

BETTER CELL SERVICE COMING
Residents in Haliburton, Kawartha Lakes, and Peterborough County will now have more reliable cellular services as a result of Ontario’s $71 million investment.

FENELON CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Downtown Fenelon Falls is currently undergoing a full reconstruction project to replace critical infrastructure such as watermain, storm sewer and sanitary sewer. At the same time, the municipality is taking this opportunity to update and enhance the streetscape, including new sidewalks, curbs, gutters and furnishings. Coco Paving, the construction company completing the project, brought forward a proposal to bring in a second crew to help speed up construction timelines. The project scope, which originally divided the full road reconstruction into two phases, will be moving forward with a faster schedule. Crews will be completing all underground infrastructure replacement by June 18, 2021, including the concrete curb, sidewalk and base asphalt installations as well. “We believe this will be a benefit to the community as the new schedule will allow us to open the road to traffic sooner, and in this case, right before the peak summer season,” commented Juan Rojas, Engineering Director for Kawartha Lakes. “We’re looking forward
James Goodliff C a n a di a n a rt i s t

LEX COMES BACK FOR 2021
The Lindsay Agricultural Society (LAS) is pleased to announce that they are planning for the 2021 Lindsay Exhibition to be held in-person, September 18 to 26, 2021. The new LEX schedule for 2021 distributes the competitions across four additional days to reduce the number of people on the grounds and at the barns at any one time to allow for better physical distancing. Assuming the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge (HKPR) Health Unit is not in lockdown, the LAS is confident that all competitive aspects of the LEX will be able to be held in-person using comprehensive protocols that have been designed with the health and safety of competitors, officials, visitors, and volunteers in mind. Other LEX favourites such as the WoofJocks, Demolition Derby, midway rides, and grandstand entertainment will also be available, if restrictions allow. “We’re confident that we can give exhibitors an opportunity to compete in a safe environment

MORE MONEY FOR NON-PROFITS
The Ontario government is investing $105 million through the new Community Building Fund to support non-profit tourism, culture, sport and recreation organizations. The funding will be used to help these non-profits recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and meet the needs of their communities. “Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, our government has been fulfilling a commitment to be there to support those struggling the most,” said Lisa MacLeod, Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries. “Today’s investment is a critical part of our plan to support the economic and social recovery of communities across Ontario. The Community Building Fund is helping organizations whose programs and services enhance the quality of life for Ontarians and support local jobs across the province.” The fund will be administered by the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) through two program streams: • The $55-million operating funding stream will provide community non-profits with the support they need to help sustain their operations and create new experiences and events - such as trail systems, heritage attractions, winter activities and local sport and recreation programming - that are critical to the economic and social well-being of their communities. • The $50-million capital funding stream will go to municipalities and non-profit organizations to carry out sport- and recreation-facility infrastructure repairs, including retrofits and rehabilitation to meet COVID-19 public health protocol requirements and local community needs. “OTF is proud to be delivering the Community Building Fund on behalf of the Ontario government and actively participate in our province’s recovery,” said Katharine Bambrick, CEO, Ontario Trillium Foundation. “This is critical new funding for organizations that will help re-invigorate communities across Ontario.” The operating stream of the Community Building Fund will open for applications on March 31, 2021, while the fund’s capital stream will open later in 2021.
WATER STREET CLOTHESLINE CLOSING
Submitted by Gary Vaters
Everything for a season, a reason for every season. While seasons change, it’s time for a change for Pam Vaters, owner of Water Street Clothesline. Pam loved working Water Street Clothesline AKA “The Hoodie Store” and met amazing locals and cottagers over the last 3 years. However, with the family custom screen printing and embroidery plant in Bobcaygeon so busy and hiring because of COVID-19, she is needed to oversee its operations. “Not knowing if the government would shut us down from one week to the next, we couldn’t commit to hiring staff last year, so working seven days a week and not getting to spend time at the cottage proved just too much,” said Pam. “Our lease expired in February, so our last selling day will be Saturday, April 3. I have, however, signed on again as the Harbor Host for Buckhorn, Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls for the AGLCA (Loopers) so I will still be around.” Lake name hoodies/tees can be bought at 76 North Street Bobcaygeon or online after April 10. Pam said, “Retail in Fenelon Falls was a great experience and useful to experiment with various graphics before we sold something similar to all the stores/camps/Chambers we supply across Canada. You can still reach us at 705-731-0076 x 24. Many thanks to all our loyal customers who became friends and amazing landladies, Sandy & Anna Radey (best Pizza anywhere at Slices & Scoops).”

NEW LOOK FOR KAWARTHA CHOICE
Peterborough & the Kawarthas Economic Development (PKED) and Kawartha Lakes Economic Development are excited to announce the launch of the refreshed and improved KawarthaChoice.com. As the latest update of the well-established Kawartha Choice FarmFresh (KCFF) program, KawarthaChoice. com is built to connect consumers and local businesses with the Kawartha Region local food sector. The KCFF program was created as an economic recovery tool in 2003, to showcase and support local food sector businesses in the Kawartha region, and that support continues today. The COVID-19 pandemic, and its impact on food businesses across the region, has shed a new light on the desire to eat locally. More consumers than ever are looking for ways to discover and support local food businesses. In response, the KCFF program recognized the opportunity to provide residents and businesses with a modernized and interactive platform. For residents and visitors to the Kawartha region, this is a place to search for and discover sources of specific local foods and engage with farms, food services, restaurants, farmers’ markets, retail stores and agricultural experiences across the region. For the local agri-food business community the refreshed online platform provides a destination to find current programs, resources and services; KCFF members can keep their public profile up to date, attract visitors and boost their business; they can also connect, share information and learn from one another through a virtual member hub with forums and message boards. The refreshed platform is part of a larger collaborative project funded in part by the government of Ontario, through the Rural Economic Development program, to specifically address regional needs in recovery from the pandemic. The three-pronged project also included two training programs for farmers and food entrepreneurs to develop skills in value-added food product development and farm financial and business management. An asset inventory and needs analysis was conducted to better capture the current makeup of the agri-food sector and identify areas of future

SOROPTIMIST AWARDS
Submitted by Susan Peirce
Soroptimist International of Kawartha Lakes presented two women with cheques for the ‘Live Your Dream Award’ at their virtual club meeting in February. Both women have faced barriers to their education goals but with the assistance of the Soroptimist club, have made their education and future dreams more attainable. Laura Herr was so pleased to receive her firstplace cheque in the amount of $2,000. She is studying to be an RPN at Sir Sandford Fleming College and plans to continue her studies to become a Registered Nurse. Second place recipient Ashley Cassells received $1000 and is using her award cheque to help with the costs associated with continuing her education at Georgian College in the Social Service Worker program. Ashley’s plans include obtaining her Bachelor’s Degree in Criminology or Forensic Psychology, or applying to the OPP. In addition to providing the primary financial support for their families, eligible applicants must be enrolled in, or have been accepted to, a vocational/ skills training program or an undergraduate degree program and must demonstrate financial need. Live Your Dream Award recipients may use the cash award to offset any costs associated with their efforts to attain higher education, such as books, child or dependent care, tuition and transportation. The on-line application portal is open from August 1 to November 15 each year. Soroptimist clubs have been economically empowering women with the ‘Live Your Dream’ Awards since 1972. In the fiscal year 2019-2020 Soroptimist International of the Americas (SIA) disbursed more
than $2.8 million in education grants to 1,770 women, many of whom have overcome enormous obstacles including poverty, domestic violence, sexual assault, and drug or alcohol addiction. Since 2012, the Kawartha Lakes Club has awarded 16 women with financial assistance to a total of $17,500. The club raises funds through different fundraising avenues, including a weekly on-line auction at various times throughout the year. Join the group at Facebook.com/ groups/SoroptimistKawarthaLakes.

GROVE THEATRE POSTPONES PRODUCTION
Submitted by Maddy Warlow
After careful consideration, the team at The Grove Theatre has decided to postpone the mainstage production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the Musical, initially scheduled for this coming July, until the summer of 2022. In no way does this diminish The Grove Theatre’s utmost commitment to the completion of the stunning open-air amphitheatre or to the launch of the company, but signals our topmost priority: the safety of audiences, artists and the community. Our aim is to ensure that the venue will be ready and available for use by the creative minds at The Grove Theatre, and by other members of our community, for events more suited to COVID-era restrictions than a major musical. Local bands, artists and community groups have already inquired about how they may animate the amphitheatre in the months to come. Work on the site to welcome these proposed events will continue into the Spring and Summer. The construction of a box office, concession stand and technical booth will rise in the Spring. The backstage area will be completed when the snow melts. Accessible paths and parking will be laid when the earth is dry. With the support of the community, The Grove Theatre has accomplished a great feat thus far, but it is vital that the momentum that has built so steadily since this project was first announced is maintained. The continuing generosity of donors, sponsors, volunteers and patrons is essential in the pursuit of The Grove Theatre’s goals. At its conception, the people of Fenelon Falls asked for a gathering place where residents, cottagers and tourists could come together and celebrate this artistic community. With the support of the Kawartha Lakes area, the team at The Grove Theatre has made this community-led dream a reality. The team wishes
to celebrate everyone’s integral contribution to the immense success of this dream thus far, as the beautiful site continues to develop into a space that will enrich the lives of the community for years to come. At this point, the grounds have been carefully selected. The trees were minimally cleared and the land carefully shaped. The stage is in place. The Grove Theatre arose from a shared vision in the community: a vision of renewed connection, of rewarding enterprise, of joyful gathering, with all the fun, laughter and spontaneity that have been missing from the community’s lives of late. The show will go on – and The Grove Theatre wants the entire Kawartha Lakes community with us all the way.
PROVINCE INVESTS IN EXTENDICARE LINDSAY
The Ontario government is making a historic investment in 80 new long-term care projects including one in Lindsay. These spaces are part of the government’s delivery of 30,000 much-needed longterm care spaces over ten years. Extendicare Lindsay is being allocated 96 new spaces and 64 upgraded spaces. This project will result in a 160-bed home in Lindsay. In addition to modernizing the long-term care sector, these projects will help reduce waitlists and end hallway medicine. Province-wide, these investments also support key government priorities, including eliminating three and four bed ward rooms,

We thank Minister Scott and the Government of Ontario for making the future of long-term care a priority in this province. ” “Our loved ones in long-term care deserve a comfortable, modern place to live, near family and friends, with the support they need when they need it,” said Dr. Merrilee Fullerton, Minister of LongTerm Care. “These new and upgraded spaces, built to modern design standards, will help prevent and contain the transmission of infectious diseases and ensure residents have access to the care they need in a safe and secure environment.” Have a digital copy of The Kawartha Promoter delivered to your email for only

your situation. You may notice the additional boxes on your T4 this year. Boxes 57, 58, 59 and 60 correlate to the periods that CERB was available. This is one way that the government will be verifying that you were eligible to receive CERB. If you received the benefit in error or applied twice- once through EI and once through the CRA directly, it is best to contact the government as soon as possible to make repayment arrangements. The phone number is 1-833-966-2099 As these benefits are included into income, you may see changes to your Goods and Services Tax Credit, Trillium Benefit (Ontario) and your Canada Child Benefit. The government has just announced that if you have a balance owing on your 2020 income tax return and you have received any of the Covid benefits, and your income is under $75,000, you may be eligible for an automatic extension to April 30, 2022. Your income tax return is still due by April 30, 2021.

Computerized Tomography (CT) scanning combines a series of images taken from various angles to create cross-sectional views of a patient’s bones, blood vessels and soft tissues. The Ross Memorial’s CT scanner allows radiologists to confidently diagnose disease and injuries, to provide precise direction for surgeries, and to guide cancer treatments. At the Ross, the CT team conducts more than 12,000 scans every year. “Supporting the community in which we operate has always been a top priority for my family,” said Brandon Boyer. “We are so lucky to have such a great hospital right here in Lindsay, so we’re happy to support in any way we can!”
$25,000 FOR RMH
The owner of FLATO Developments Incorporated, Shakir Rehmatullah, knows that to build communities it takes a strong commitment to community service. The FLATO team has plans to develop neighbourhoods in the Lindsay and Cameron areas. To make those neighbourhoods even better, Rehmatullah is enhancing local patient care with a gift to the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation. Recently, Rehmatullah was joined by City of Kawartha Lakes Mayor Andy Letham outside Ross Memorial Hospital to present a $25,000 donation to Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “Here at the Ross, we’re committed to building the future of local healthcare and growing services close to home, and we’re grateful to have community partners such as Shakir Rehmatullah,” said Erin Coons. “This generous gift will support hospital needs including lifesaving technology, patient care equipment and priority projects. We’re pleased to welcome Shakir and his team at FLATO to the community — and to our donor family at the Ross.” “We recognize and value the importance of keeping our communities healthy and safe, which is why we’re so excited to be supporting Ross Memorial Hospital,” said Shakir Rehmatullah. “When we build communities, we support communities. In Kawartha Lakes, we look forward to continuing to partner with and support community organizations to achieve their goals that will make the community better for everyone.” This is one of FLATO Developments Inc.’s first steps in supporting the residents of the Kawartha Lakes.
BOYER FAMILY HELPS RMH
The Boyer family knows that businesses and communities support each other and grow together. Over the past 40 years, as the Boyers have grown their group of auto dealerships, they’ve taken care to give back to the communities where they work and live by supporting local causes. Recently, Brandon Boyer and Joe Holtrum of Boyer Chevrolet Lindsay visited Ross Memorial Hospital to support exceptional care with a gift of $2,000 from the Boyer Family Charitable Fund. The donation will help the community purchase a new CT scanner with advanced capabilities. 14

“Our local business leaders keep our community strong in so many ways,” said Erin Coons. “This gift from the Boyer Family Charitable Fund will impact patients of all ages, and help keep the best CT imaging right here at home.”
LOCAL BUSINESS HELPS FIREFIGHTERS
Fire Station 12, located in Cameron, was in need of new materials for equipment drying racks and so they approached Naylor Systems, a well-known Canadian company since 1975, to price out the materials. In response, Wendell Naylor of Naylor Systems generously offered to supply the materials for the station. This included aluminum rails, cables, pulleys and of course the fabric to cover everything. Captain Richard Bossema the Station 12 Fire Coordinator stated “The rack is a large improvement in how we can hang and dry our gear, hoses and ice/water equipment. We are extremely grateful for Naylor’s generosity. Any assistance to help improve efficiency at our station is a benefit to the entire community and for that, we all thank you.” Naylor Systems is located at 19 Naylor Road in Cameron and can be seen just off of Highway 36.

KITCHEN REHAB FOR RMH
The RMH Nutrition Services team is energized to be preparing patient meals in a modernized kitchen -- and exceptionally grateful for the donor support that made extensive renovations possible.
year of combined challenges with both construction and COVID safety measures impacting the department at the same time. They deserve a modern kitchen space for their top-notch work.” “Thanks to our generous community, the Foundation is able to help fund the hospital’s priority projects and improve patient care at the Ross,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “Together with our donors and community partners, we will continue to build the future of local health care and grow services close to home.” “Our team is so grateful to the Foundation for helping to fund the much-needed kitchen renovation,” said Christine Wood, Nutrition Services Manager. “Once the last phase was complete you could feel the relief — everyone was so happy! When you walk into the department it’s so bright and clean, providing a great working space.” The RMH Foundation provided $1.25 million toward the almost $1.7 million cost of the kitchen project.
The hospital’s kitchen was part of a $7 million expansion that opened in 1960 and brought the hospital’s bed capacity to 139. While the hospital has grown significantly since then, the kitchen has only seen minor upgrades over the years. This is where the Nutrition Services team prepares approximately 400 inpatient meals every day. With funding from the RMH Foundation, construction began in the kitchen one year ago and was completed in phases to allow for continued food
preparation for patients. Work included replacing and relocating the vast exhaust hood system with a state-of-the-art system, a new kitchen layout to improve workflow and accommodate new work areas including a hot food preparation area. The kitchen features modern flooring and ceiling materials that are IPAC (Infection Prevention and Control) approved , and a new hand-wash station. “At the Ross, we believe that food is medicine. Healthy meals help our patients gain their strength and recover from injury or illness,” said Kelly Isfan, RMH President and CEO. “People in the community may never see the hospital’s kitchen, but the work that happens there plays a big role in their care. I’m proud of our Nutrition Services team for persevering during this

FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT Otonabee Region Conservation Authority has issued a flood watch (March 25, 2021) for all waterbodies/watercourses in the Otonabee Region watershed including the City of Kawartha Lakes. A FLOOD WATCH is issued to alert municipalities and residents that flood conditions are a possibility. Unseasonably warm and dry weather is thawing the ground and releasing a significant potion of the snowpack in the area north of the Kawartha Lakes (i.e., Haliburton Lakes/ Reservoir Lakes Region). This is important to Otonabee Conservation’s Flood Forecasting and Warning (FFW) program because northern waterbodies/watercourses are hydrologically connected to the Kawartha Lakes, Otonabee River, Rice Lake and Trent River (i.e., Trent-Severn Waterway). As a result of inflows from the north, we are currently seeing rising water levels/flows on the Trent-Severn Waterway (TSW). In the Otonabee Region watershed, we have also been experiencing unseasonably warm and dry weather, which has melted the snowpack and thawed the ground. As a result, we are currently experiencing high water levels/flows in the Ouse River, Indian River and Otonabee River watersheds, but no flooding concerns. However, starting tonight, an intense Texas Low will migrate into the Region,

raising flooding concerns. This low-pressure system, which brought widespread flooding to the USA, is expected to deliver 20-30 millimeters (mm) of rain before shifting eastward on Friday, March 26th. The rain is expected to aggressively increase the inflows to the Kawartha Lakes, causing water levels on the Kawartha Lakes to increase, rapidly. Accompanying the Texas Low will be 30-50 kilometers per hour winds and the possibility of thunderstorms. Increasing water levels and strong winds will combine to cause the already weak ice cover on the Kawartha Lakes to break-up which could translate to ice damage and ice/ debris jamming around water control/water conveyance structures. If thunderstorms occur, localized rainfall amounts of 40 to 50 mm could be realized, which is sufficient to cause localized flooding, especially where drainage is poor. Another dosing of rain will begin on Saturday and continue into Sunday, delivering a total of approximately 10 mm over the 2 days. Following a drying out period on Monday and Tuesday, a third weather disturbance will bring 10 mm of rain on Wednesday, March 31.
