OVER THE BACK FENCE

With a beautiful weekend on the way, we’ve all got those get-readyfor-winter chores on the to-do list! Covering patio furniture, blowing the leaves off the deck, putting away the barbecue – it seems that our summer of 2022 is behind us. But a good one it was!

Thanks to all those event organizers who went above and beyond to give us a reason to get out and enjoy music, fairs, yard sales and parades! We just wanted to feel “normal” again after more than two years of pandemic stress. And you all came through.

One of the best things about living out here is the opportunity to volunteer. We all know it takes a lot of time and person-power to make things happen.

Many organizations are volunteerdriven and we all know that volunteers are the heart and soul of most of the events and programs in our communities.

Giving your time and talents to a

Cover: - Promoter

local organization or event can make all the difference. Whether you have a lot of time because you’re retired and looking for something to occupy your time or students looking to fulfil their requirement for volunteer hours, you can get involved in almost anything that strikes your fancy.

Winter is a great time to volunteer. Many of the events that take place in the summer do their behind-the-scenes activities in the snowy months. And remember, local organizations hold regular activities and they always need volunteers to make those happen, too.

We all have something we can contribute, no matter how small. Please give some thought to getting involved. There’s no better feeling than knowing your efforts went a long way to help someone else.

On another note, don’t forget to cast your vote for the next municipal leaders. Voting closes on Monday, October 24 at 8pm.

Have a happy Hallowe’en, be safe and remember, please be kind!

SEASONAL CHANGES FOR WASTE & RECYCLING

As the seasons change, residents are reminded that winter landfill hours are now in effect.

On seasonal roads, waste and recycling collection ends Friday, October 28. For a list of all roads with alternative winter set out locations, visit www. kawarthalakes.ca.

If you receive year-round curbside waste and recycling collection on a private seasonal road, please ensure your road is plowed and sanded as required, or curbside collection will not continue until winter maintenance occurs.

In general, all private, seasonal and unassumed roads will receive curbside collection provided that the road is accessible to a curbside collection vehicle and maintained to the following standards:

• Snow is ploughed to a minimum of 4 metres (12 feet) wide.

• Sand and salt is applied during icy conditions.

• Vegetation is cut back to five metres (15 feet) high and four metres (12 feet) wide.

• All potholes and cracks are filled and graded as required.

RECYCLE YOUR BATTERIES

Curbside battery collection is back in the City of Kawartha Lakes. They willl be collecting your used batteries curbside from November 14 to 17 on your regularly scheduled collection day.

To dispose of your used batteries properly, please place them inside a clear, re-sealable bag and leave it on top of your fibre recycling materials at your curb by 7am on the morning of collection.

Since you’re already getting rid of a bag full of batteries, this would be the perfect time to change over the batteries in all of your smoke alarms and CO2 detectors. The first line of defense in protecting your home from fire is having working smoke detectors in the home, so be sure to make the swap and recycle the old batteries afterwards!

Why is recycling batteries so important?

•

Batteries are considered hazardous waste. When they end up in our landfills and begin to rot, they emit chemicals that may leak into the ground. This harms the environment, including nearby animals, through the soil and water pollution it creates.

• Materials found in batteries can be recycled into many different things. For example, most batteries are 25% steel, which is 100% recyclable.

• Recycling batteries is free and helps keep unwanted items from entering our landfill sites

How do I properly recycle batteries?

•

A suitable turnaround space is provided for the collection truck. Turnarounds can be situated on private lands with permission from the land owner Waste collection reminders

•

To ensure timely collection of curbside waste, please remember:

• Waste and recycling must be curbside for collection by 7am.

• There is a two bag weekly limit for waste collection.

• Recycling is unlimited but no bagged recycling is accepted; residents are encouraged to rinse their recycling.

•

If you’re using a waste storage bin, it must have a flagging device (similar to a mail box) to alert collection staff when there are materials to be collected.

Acceptable batteries include: A, AA, AAA, C, D, 9V, button batteries, and lantern batteries.

• Unacceptable batteries include: rechargeable batteries (for example laptop and cellphone batteries), automotive batteries and industrial batteries. These types of batteries can be brought to the Household Hazardous Waste depots for disposal at the Lindsay Ops and Fenelon landfills.

• Put used or unwanted, single-use dry cell batteries inside a clear re-sealable bag (Ziploc or similar). Please cover 9V battery terminals with masking tape and cover both sides of button batteries with tape.

• Place the sealed bag on top or beside your paper recycling box on your regula collection day during the week of November 14 to November 17 2022.

•

Large item tags can be purchased online, and arrangement must be made with Miller Waste for pick-up of that item.

For more information on the requirements for collection of waste and recyclables in Kawartha Lakes, please visit the Waste and Recycling page on the City’s website – www.kawarthalakes.ca.

• Do not place any loose batteries in your recycling box.

Each year, the municipality conducts two designated collection weeks for curbside battery pick up, however you can recycle batteries anytime at many different locations across the municipality.

TRAIL CLOSURE

The Victoria Rail Trail between River Road and Post Road in Ops Township is currently closed for municipal drain maintenance work.

It is anticipated this section of the trail will be closed until approximately Friday November 4, 2022. Access to this section of the Victoria Rail Trail will be restricted, signs will be posted at the intersections of the VRT at both River Road and Post Road advising of the closure.

WAIT TIMES ARE LONGER

If you have to head to your local emergency room, be prepared to wait. Ross Memorial Hospital recently issued a statement about higher than usual wait times due to high patient volumes.

Patients with less urgent conditions are implored to consider alternate options for care such as their primary health care provider, pharmacist, after-hours clinic, virtual care, or calling Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-7970000. After-hours clinics can often treat non-urgent and minor illnesses and ailments, such as earaches, sore throats or prescription refills.

Please remember that our healthcare workers are doing their best and working hard to see patients as quickly as possible.

LEAVE YOUR LEAVES

Seems like there are a lot more leaves on the ground this year. And, according to the Nature Conservancy of Canada, that can be a good thing. Leaving a layer or two of leaves on the ground is actually beneficial to the environment and your lawn.

Many animals, such as frogs and butterflies, can hibernate in the leaf litter. The leaves are like an insulating blanket and can help protect them from the temperature fluctuations over the winter.

Dead leaves are considered a “butterfly nursery” according to the David Suzuki Foundation. They’re home to microbes, worms and butterfly larvae. And, leaf litter is where many species of butterflies and moths spend the winter as pupae. Other animals, like toads and frogs, hide and hunt in the leaf litter as well.

Birds will also be grateful. There are fruits and seeds on leftover flowers and shrubs that can be a great food source for many of those birds who hang around in the winter. Those bugs that hibernate in the leaves are also a good source of protein for our winged friends.

Another benefit of a layer of leaves is soil improvement. Over the winter, as they break down, leaves transform into a natural mulch, enriching the soil and suppressing weeds. While leaving piles of leaves can hamper the growth of grass, a light covering can help your garden and lawn in the spring.

FLEMING PROGRAMS GET FINANCIAL BOOST

Fleming College has been awarded a Mobilize grant worth $1.5M over five years from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) College and Community Innovation program.

Fleming will use the funding for several initiatives, such as the expansion of research into new areas and updated training programs, to ensure the sustained growth of its research activities.

“Fleming College has a strong applied research reputation due to the success of our three dedicated research centres, and the NSERC Mobilize funding will provide us with an opportunity to expand research into new areas at the College,” said Maureen Adamson, President of Fleming College. “With this funding, Fleming will continue to support new collaborations and researchers, leading to increased local innovation and job-relevant experiential learning opportunities.”

A portion of the funding will also support expanded training initiatives at Fleming’s three research centres, the Centre for Advancement of Water and Wastewater Technologies (CAWT) and the Centre for Innovative Aquaculture Production (CIAP) located at the Frost Campus in Lindsay, as well as the Centre for Advancement in Mechatronics and Industrial Internet of Things (CAMIIT) at Peterborough’s Sutherland Campus.

The Mobilize grants are made available through the Tri-agency College and Community Innovation program, managed by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, in collaboration with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

MAKE A WREATH

If you’re ready to start decorating for the holidays, there’s a special workshop at Kawartha Settlers’ Village in Bobcaygeon on November 5 to make a beautiful holiday wreath for your front door. The workshop runs from 10am to noon.

Barb from Queen Bee Flower Farm will walk you through the steps of making a wreath with fresh-cut juniper, cedar, pine and spruce.

Instruction, wreath frame and other supplies, ribbon and other embellishments will be provided. You are welcome to bring your own ornaments to the workshop if you’re working with a particular style for your holiday decor.

Participants must be able to use wire cutters and/ or scissors independently. Since some of the greenery, particularly juniper, can be prickly, you might want to bring your own gloves for protection.

The cost is only $85 which includes a $5 donation to Settlers’ Village. You can get more information and a link to buy tickets at www.settlersvillage.org.

gone from a group of 22 women to a broad organization that bonds communities.”

RMH Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Veronica Nelson accepted the gift with Kim Coulter of the RMH Foundation. Veronica, who began her career at the Ross in the Diagnostic Imaging Department, understands well the impact of the Dragon Flies’ generosity. “These donations help fund the imaging modalities that help us diagnose and treat breast cancer at the Ross. 3D mammography, Ultrasound, MRI … these are all 100 percent donor funded. We’re so grateful to the Dragon Flies and all of the people who support their efforts.”

Every month, approximately 460 people are screened for breast cancer at Ross Memorial Hospital. Of those, more than 100 require follow-up tests using a variety of imaging modalities. Most of these people need further investigation due to visible anomalies in their images or because changes were noted since their last exam. The other 30 percent are people who have found a lump or who are experiencing other symptoms.

With this gift, the Dragon Flies’ cumulative donations to the RMH Foundation total $410,300. Through their efforts, the Dragon Flies have helped the Hospital to acquire the best diagnostic technology — including 3D Mammography and MRI — and to become an Accredited Breast Assessment Centre with a High Risk Breast Screening program, affiliated with Cancer Care Ontario.

DRAGON FLIES IMPACT A GENERATION

Twenty years ago, the Dragon Flies Breast Cancer Survivor Group was formed to create a sisterhood of support for those who have received a breast cancer diagnosis and to raise awareness and funds to give patients their best chance to beat breast cancer.

In that time, the Dragon Flies and their community of friends have impacted a generation of local patients and their loved ones with funding for medical equipment and technology that helps diagnose and treat breast cancer at Ross Memorial Hospital.

At the Dragon Flies’ Diva Night event at the Victoria Park Armoury on October 13, founding members Nancy Hanna and Jo-Anne Forson made a surprise presentation — a $10,000 donation to the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation.

“In our first year, we held bake sales, sold chocolate, hosted dances, and we managed to raise $20,000 in two months,” said Nancy Hanna. “In the past 20 years, we’ve been able to donate $1.5 million to four hospitals, including the Ross Memorial. We’ve

FLU SHOT IN BUCKHORN

Community Care Buckhorn is hosting a “drivethru” flu shot clinic on Thursday, October 27. From 9am to noon, arrive in your car with your sleeve rolled up to receive the regular flu shot. No appointment is needed, but be sure to bring your health card. Community Care Buckhorn is located at 1937 Lakehurst Road in Buckhorn.

IT’S FLU SEASON!

The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit (HKPR District Health Unit) is reporting its first case of influenza for the 2022-23 flu season in the district which includes the City of Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland County and Haliburton County.

As a precaution to the flu season the HKPR District Health Unit would like to remind residents to not take any unnecessary risks with your health. Flu season typically runs from late fall to early spring. Residents are encouraged to get a flu shot as soon as they become eligible, and the vaccine is available. Locally, there are many ways to get the flu vaccine:

•

Dozens of pharmacies in Haliburton County, Northumberland County and the City of Kawartha Lakes can provide flu vaccine to anyone 2 years of age and older. High-dose flu vaccines for people 65 years of age and older are also available at pharmacies. A complete list of local pharmacy locations providing flu vaccines is available at www.hkpr.on.ca.

• People should contact their primary care provider to see about getting the flu vaccine. Children 6 months to two years old can only get their flu shot from a doctor, nurse practitioner or local public health unit.

• The HKPR District Health Unit is providing immunization clinics for children under the age of 5 years who do not have a family doctor. Clinics are by appointment only. To schedule a time, call the HKPR District Health Unit at 1.866.888.4577, ext. 1507.

“Vaccination against influenza is especially important this fall,” says Dr. Natalie Bocking, Medical Officer of Health, and CEO for the HKPR District Health Unit. “Preventing the flu will not only protect individual health and the health of families and communities, but it will also stop further strain on our health care system which is already stretched due to COVID-19.”

Most residents can get the flu vaccine at the same time, or before or after a COVID-19 vaccine. The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI)

currently recommends that children 6 months to 5 years of age wait at least 14 days between COVID-19 vaccines and non-COVID vaccines, to avoid attributing any potential adverse events.

To further stop the spread of the flu, and COVID-19, the HKPR District Health Unit recommends people wear a mask, physically distance, wash their hands thoroughly and often, sneeze and cough into their sleeves, and stay home from work and school if they are sick.

TL LIBRARY DELIVERS

Submitted by Stephanie McPherson

Trent Lakes Public Library has received a grant from Canada Post Community Foundation that will help them “deliver” more to the community. With this donation, the Trent Lakes Public Library was able to purchase a Cricut machine to support their children’s programs.

Over the past few years, the participation in the children’s activities at Trent Lakes Public Library has grown significantly. Some weeks, the library will give out over 100 free craft kits to kids in the community. The Cricut allows the library to meet this need and provide cost-efficient literary-based activities and crafts to encourage the development of a love for reading. Since purchasing the new machine, the library has made numerous crafts with it such as pumpkins, monsters, bears, bookmarks and more! Some of the future plans with the Cricut include creating merchandise to help fundraise for the library. The library will also work with local small businesses to provide access to the different benefits of the machine such as printing out promotional materials and items that will help improve efficiency.

TLPL continues to offer in person programming in Buckhorn and in Cavendish. Youth Group is held every Tuesday evening at 6pm at the Cavendish branch. Story Time is held every Wednesday at 11am at the Buckhorn Branch. There are also take-home crafts for kids available at both branches. Anyone is welcome to attend the free programs and registration is not required. For more information about the library’s programs, please check out the library’s website at www.trentlakeslibrary.ca

Trent Lakes Public Library is grateful to the Canada Post Community Foundation for this grant which has allowed us to buy a Cricut machine.

MURDER AT THE MATCH

From November 17 to 19 and 24 to 26, Globus Theatre is proud to present “Murder at the Match,” a hilarious comedy that celebrates soccer!

The World Cup is a glamorous and thrilling occasion as countries around the world join to celebrate the beautiful game. Or at least it should be. Instead, it’s all kicking off in Qatar as ruthless managers, fame-hungry WAGs (wives and girlfriends) and desperately determined soccer stars combine, and the search for goals and glory leads to calamity off the pitch.

It appears that someone is not going to make it to the final whistle and the consequences could be Qatar-strophic!

This show is a great night out, and is perfect for company holiday parties. Tickets for the dinner and show are $87.50 (plus HST and a $2 ticket fee) and group pricing is available.

MAKING HALLOWE’EN INCLUSIVE

Submitted by Bill Eekhof

Area residents are being asked to break down barriers to trick-or-treating by making this Halloween more inclusive – and less scary – for children of all ages and abilities.

With Halloween on the horizon, Five Counties Children’s Centre is sharing its top tips to make trickor-treating more accessible for all children this year.

“Ask any child, and he or she will tell you Halloween ranks right up there as one of the best days of the year,” says Scott Pepin, CEO of Five Counties Children’s Centre. “We’re encouraging people to consider children of all ages and abilities this Halloween.”

Five Counties is echoing the message of Treat Accessibly, a grassroots movement formed in 2017. Treat Accessibly promotes ‘Happy Halloween… everyBODY,’ with the aim of make trick-or-treating more inclusive. According to the Treat Accessibly organization, more than 400,000 children in Canada identify as having one or more disabilities, which can prevent them from enjoying trick-or-treating with their siblings and other children.

“In our everyday work at Five Counties, we support children and youth with physical, developmental and communications needs with the aim of enriching their independence and quality of life every day,” Pepin adds. “Halloween is one of those days or festivities that children of every ability should have the chance to experience and enjoy.”

To break down barriers to Halloween, you’re encouraged to consider the following:

•

Set up a trick-or-treating station that is accessible and barrier-free for every child to enjoy. For homes with stairs, consider setting up an accessible treat station on the front lawn, driveway, or garage. If all else fails, be creative and use your vehicle’s trunk to hand out candy.

•

Clear the path for trick-or-treaters. Remove potential obstacles and ensure the way to your treat station is wide open and well lit, especially

for trick-or-treaters with mobility challenges. Consider parking on the street or in the garage to create even more space.

Decorate for Halloween with care. While scary and spooky decorations are appealing, they can be frightening for some trick-or-treaters. Bright flashing lights and loud or frightening noises can cause problems for children with sensory processing issues, autism or epilepsy. Be thoughtful and tactful in how you decorate so more children can take part in trick-or-treating.

TRENT LAKES WANTS INPUT

The Municipality of Trent Lakes provides services to the community based on an annual Operating and Capital budget. Input from the community is a vital part of the budget planning process.

Feedback topics include service levels, budget priorities, long-term planning, taxation levels, or a variety of other considerations.

•

Communication counts. Some children may say ‘trick or treat’ differently. Some may use sign language, assistive technology, speak slowly or be non-verbal. Be respectful whatever the circumstances. A smile and wave can say so much!

A completed online submission will be directly emailed to the Trent Lakes Finance Department. You can find it at www.trentlakes.ca.

The form will close on November 30.

•

Seeing blue? That’s OK. Blue pumpkins have been informally adopted by some families as a way to indicate children have unique ways of behaving and communicating. If you see a trick-or-treater carrying a blue pumpkin, be understanding and adjust your interactions as needed.

•

Use some ‘show and tell’ to hand out treats. If you encounter children with visual or hearing problems, describe or hold up the treat before placing it in the bag so they are aware of what they are receiving.

•

A sign of the times. If you want to make an even stronger statement, put up a sign on your front lawn indicating you are an accessible/inclusive trick-or-treating stop.

Horoscopes

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) There is no way you will move a mountain or change the world all by yourself, Aquarius. But, don’t despair! Earthquakes start with small rumblings, which continue to build into gigantic movements. Likewise, are the changes we can achieve!

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Pisces, there is no need to ignore the past, but, neither is there a reason to hang onto it so much that you can’t enjoy the present. Sometimes letting go is the best medicine for what ails us.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Do you “practise patience”? Aries, this is something that is a learned skill, and you won’t achieve it if you don’t work on it and train yourself to slow down and learn how it actually feels. Try it during this phase!

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) We all know that mistakes are inevitable, Taurus, but it is the response to our errors that matters the most. Do you give up? Or do you accept them as a learning experience and keep on going? You get to choose!

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Take the bad days along with the good days, Gemini. If you’re having a bad day, it doesn’t mean life is overall bad, and the same goes if you’re having a good day. Learn to appreciate both!

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) If you are feeling a little down and out, Cancer, head to the woods - or somewhere nearby! There’s nothing like the hearing power of nature to brighten one’s day.

October 21 to November 3

By Melodie McCullough

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Sticking to your morals can be difficult, Leo, but surround yourself with others of the same kind, and you will always be strong.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) “A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding.”: Marshall McLuhan. Indeed, Virgo, don’t be fooled into thinking a personal opinion is more important than facts.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Let music into your life, Libra. Any kind will do, as long as it means something to you and gives you comfort and joy! The power of music is strong!

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Balance is important in every aspect of life, dear Scorpio. It’s important to maintain equilibrium physically and mentally, but also in our work/play area. You can’t row a boat if it is tipping to one side!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) No more excuses, Sag. It’s time to take responsibility for your actions and how they affect others. It is a sign of maturity to accept this.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) So many people have found comfort from your friendship; strength from your wisdom; the ability to keep going from your generosity. Know that there are many, many people in this world who think of you kindly and often.
