TRAFFIC IN FENELON

Will the problem ever be solved? Not as I read about it.

Why would I say that? Most people who live there, or in the close area, just do not want a bridge in their front yard. or over their roof tops

All these years of procrastination have made the situation harder to rectify, but an answer is right there in plain sight and has been proven for many years.

The major problem was, and is, using traffic lights to control the traffic flows. As I see it, they hold up the flow. How many times have you sat there and for how long, watching a red light that takes forever to turn

green for you and there is no traffic going the other way and/or any other traffic at all?

Ever notice that in the north east section of Fenelon Falls, we have a major intersection with NO traffic lights, just four stop signs? How many bridge crossers use that intersection to get somewhere else, each day?

So do a major test and turn off the traffic lights -just cover then up for now. Next, install the stop signs.

Add signs that state wait your turn, first come, first right of way. You must come to a full stop at the white line and a count of five. Cameras could be put up to catch the “tail jumpers.” A good fine would be $1,000 for those who just follow the car in front of them and never come to a count-of-five full stop.

Give this idea at least a full month testing that includes a long weekend and more vehicles passing through Fenelon. We taxpayers just may save a few million in wasted tax dollars on a Dream Bridge!

If we do not try, we will never really know.

R. Preston, Fenelon Falls

NO BIKE LANES PLANNED

I recently attended the information open house at City Hall for CKL residents regarding the upgrades that will take place on Colborne Street in Lindsay. I was impressed with the thoroughness of the staff and their ability and availability to answer all questions regarding this project.

However, I was very disappointed to see that there are no bike lanes planned for the section on Colborne St. East from Angeline Street to William Street.

There are several reasons why I feel that we should not miss this community opportunity to add bike lanes to this street.

Bike lanes would link the city’s largest outdoor activity park (Wilson Fields) to our riverfront trails corridor. It would provide a continuous East/West corridor for non-motorized vehicles.

Youth from future subdivisions as well as existing North Ward homes would have easy bike access to schools and parks that are on Colborne Street or within a few blocksinstallation of Colborne.

City Hall

By Kirk Winter

There’s more news from City Hall than there was space in the printed version of The Kawartha Promoter.

Additional articles can be found on our website: www.thepromoter.ca.

In a lengthy and occasionally heated Committee of the Whole meeting on September 10, City of Kawartha Lakes Council dealt with a multitude of issues. By the time the smoke had cleared, the meeting had clocked in at a little over three and a half hours.

Request to purchase land

The deputant, Darolyn Jones, was informed in 2016 that the garage built on her property encroached on the neighbouring city-owned lot by 1.5 meters.

Over the last three years, a number of solutions, short of moving the garage, have been discussed.

Jones was at Council to offer them two propositions. She would either buy 1.5 meters of the

city lot next to her home, or the entire lot if that was the preference of Council. Jones was willing to pay all legal fees and closing costs regardless of which of her options the City approved.

With the support of her Councillor, Tracy Richardson, Jones told the City that she would appreciate their consideration in this matter.

After much discussion, Council decided to offer the entire lot in “private sale” to Ms. Jones at a fairly appraised market value. Councillor Dunn was the only opposing voice to the sale claiming, “It is a dangerous precedent for the City to sell the lot privately rather than have it go to public auction.”

A majority of Council, including the Mayor, supported the “private sale” of the adjoining lot to Ms. Jones.

2019 Flood Update

Fire Chief Pankhurst shared a report on the record flooding suffered by parts of the City in April, 2019.

Chief Pankhurst told Council that, “the water was higher, stayed longer and was the most flood water measured in municipal history.”

This year’s flood season lasted three weeks longer than normal, and was exacerbated by almost 100mm of rain that caused the Burnt, Gull and Black River water basins to surge over their banks.

Pankhurst said at the peak, emergency officials were filling 1,600 sandbags a day. Much to many people’s surprise, the flooding did not meet the minimum threshold for the area to be declared a provincial disaster area.

The Chief said that these events are going to become the new normal, and that for 2020 the Emergency Services people are planning three significant changes.

First, they are going to pre-fill and pre-position 3,000 filled sandbags available for immediate use in areas where flooding is a seasonal event. Second, officials are going to begin meeting in February to get a better jump on the weather. Last, the City is going to post signs warning potential property buyers of the potential for flooding before they buy property in that area.

Pankhurst hopes that next season more residents simply secure their properties and move in with friends and family during the traditional flooding season, making it safer for both residents and the First Responders.

Affordable Housing Targets

Hope Lee, Manager of Human Services for the City, presented a plan update regarding the stock of available affordable housing in CKL and the County of Haliburton.

Lee hoped that the City, partnering with the provincial and federal governments, could create, renovate or subsidize 2,000 new units in CKL and 750 units in Haliburton by 2029.

A goal of 200 new units a year caused some consternation among Councillors and the Mayor, who feared that the number of new units was too ambitious.

DOCKS

IN & OUT BOOK NOW F OR FALL REM O VAL

Currently, the City and Haliburton County are finding funding and partners to create only 50 new units a year.

Mayor Letham raised concerns that municipal development costs, connection fees and building permit fees waived for the construction of affordable housing would simply be applied by another Council to new builds, making them unnecessarily expensive.

Councillor Dunn called the goals “unattainable” while Deputy Mayor Elmslie and Councillor O’Reilly argued that the targets were realistic.

Lee said the City hired an expert in the area of affordable housing to help write the plan, and in their mind “the goals are achievable.”

Elmslie was disappointed to hear that there had been little movement on the City re-writing the by-law that currently only allows “granny flats” or basement apartments in Lindsay. He believes that these secondary units will be a part of the affordable housing solution for both the City and County.

Council approved the long-term housing plan, and now wait to see what funding is available from Queen’s Park and Ottawa.

HIGH WATER BILL ADJUSTMENT POLICY

City of Kawartha Lakes Council has recommended changes to the High Water Bill Adjustment Policy that will be forwarded to the September 24 Regular Council Meeting for adoption.

In July, Council heard a presentation from Jennifer Stover, Director of Corporate Services about the High Bill Adjustment Policy.

The original policy was adopted by Council in April 2017 and established the expectations of Council as it relates to high water bill inquiries. High Bill was defined as two times the normal consumption for the same period in the previous year. Property owners can appeal to the High Water Bill Adjustment and Mandatory Service Connection Appeals Committee which is governed by the By-Law 2018-039 A Bylaw to Regulate Water and Wastewater Services in the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Recommended changes to the policy include the following: • That relief be provided for obvious or hidden leaks, resulting in high consumption that occurs from circumstances beyond the control of the property owner. Instances such as leaking plumbing fixtures, water softeners, water-powered sump pumps will no longer qualify.

• Instances of unexplained sudden large increase in consumption will now be considered for

• The policy be expanded to all property types with an adjustment cap of $1,500.

Craft Beer Tasting

Submitted by Ruth Fallding

The Kawartha Lakes Singers (KLS) is a 25to 30-voice choir directed by Arlene Gray with accompanist Gael Morrison. It is a 4-part harmony choir: Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass. The choir sings a variety of music including folk, pop, musical theatre, classical, Celtic, etc. Members have ranged in age from 16 to 70+. The award-winning choir recently celebrated their 10th Anniversary and is currently looking for new members in all four voice parts.

KLS rehearses on Tuesday evenings in Lindsay from September to April or May and performs three concerts each season in Lindsay.

This year, the choir will be joining forces with the Northumberland Orchestra and Choir under the direction of John Kraus for December concerts in Lindsay and Cobourg.

In March, the choir will present a fun 1970’s music-themed concert in both Lindsay and Fenelon Falls. Finally, in April, the choir will once again join forces with the Northumberland Orchestra and Choir to perform “The Armed Man Mass” (a Mass for Peace) by Welsh Composer Karl Jenkins, as well as some pieces by the Kawartha Lakes Singers.

SWING BRIDGE REHAB

By Deb Crossen

We heard from Parks Canada awhile ago about the rehabilitation project for the Bobcaygeon swing bridge. We have reached out to them to find out more details about the start date and whether pedestrians will still have access to get from one side of the bridge to the other. We are waiting for that information, but in the meantime, here’s what we know.

This fall, the swing bridge will undergo rehabilitation of its steel structure and replacement of its steel deck grating with a new wooden deck. The full project is expected to be completed in spring 2020.

In order to complete this replacement, Main Street will be closed at the swing bridge for the duration of the project, an estimated 5 to 6 months.

When we receive more information, we will pass it along. In the meantime, keep your eyes on our website (www.thepromoter.ca) and Facebook page.

projects coming up. We will be welcoming two new members next month. Plans are now starting for our Christmas projects in December.

We will have our food booth set up in the Curling Club at the Bobcaygeon Fair. Drop by and say hello.

Thank you to everyone who supported our food booth at the Fiddle and Step Dance Contest in July.

In 2020, Kin Canada will be commemorating its 100th anniversary and the Bobcaygeon Kinette Club will be celebrating its 61st anniversary. There will be lots to celebrate next year.

If you would like to attend a meeting contact President Elaine at 705-344-1129 or email wendykimmett@bell.net.

CHORISTERS’ CORNER

By April Scott

By the time you read this, our accompanist (Vivian) will be back from vacation and we will be in rehearsals once again.

We enjoyed a great Dessert Potluck where everyone produced some wonderful goodies. It was a night of welcoming everyone back and catching up

10:00 - 5:00

on all the summer news. It looks like Graham and Sandra Keevill will not be moving as soon as they thought, which means that Graham will be back to help out!

Everyone’s music from way back when was collected. I think Bob almost needed a truck to transport it home. He did exchange some with Christmas music for us to go over before the first practice. By the way, if you didn’t send in all the music you have, please let Bob or Cathy Bennett have it. There is a great deal of sorting out to do!

Thank you to the Retirement Suites on West Street for allowing us to spend Tuesday nights practicing in your facility. Vivian really loves to play your grand piano every time we meet. We hope that more of your residents will come down and join us and enjoy a singalong prior to rehearsal. They are all very welcome.

Think about joining us for the Christmas concert, there is plenty of lovely music to sing! We meet every Tuesday night at 7pm.

If you check in with our Facebook page, you will see the fun and the goodies that we enjoyed at the Potluck evening.

Until next time, it’s almost Fall so get out and see the colours as they change.

Horoscopes

September 19 to October 2 Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Everyone’s journey is different. This is so true, isn’t it, Aquarius? We are not clones. We do not have the same reactions, the same life goals, the same desires, nor do we love and hate the same – something to always remember!

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) As a Pisces, you are sometimes mistaken for being impractical and lazy – simply because you love to dream. Make sure you combine your fantasies with real life – but don’t give up the dreams, either!

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Be aware of the need to articulate with words your meanings and feelings, calmly and clearly, Aries. Remember that other people cannot mindlessly understand you.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Do not keep waiting for the perfect person to rescue you, the perfect job that you will love . . . or the perfect ‘whatever’ for which you are hoping. Cancer -- all this is within YOU. Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Many new experiences are awaiting your initiative, Leo. We even see the possibility of a new love interest – ooh-la-la!

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Now would be a good time to set some travel goals, Virgo. It’s a good opportunity to see unknown vistas in a new light – the glow of autumn!

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Make time to enjoy the beauty of autumn, dear Libra.

There’s a promise in the air of rest and rejuvenation in the months ahead. It’s a special time -- and only comes once a year!

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) “Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.”

This comes from a palliative care worker who has noted what dying people regret most. Don’t let this happen to you, Taurus! Make the time now for old and new friends.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) “I may not overcome the inevitable, but O, it is mine to see that the inevitable does not overcome me.”: Muriel Strode. You may be facing some obstacles, Scorpio, but never fear – you are strong and will ride them out! You’ve got this.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Remember, Gemini, if you have school-aged children, do not over-burden them with too many planned activities.

Let them make their own home of choices regarding after-schoolhome time – and let yourself relax,the too!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) It’s time for a change, Sag, in your work life and location. Why not start anew? BUT . . . it will take considerable planning. Don’t jump into the lake until you have your lifejacket well-adjusted!

of the

BOBCAYGEON Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) You will be well-received in your employment field BOBCAYGEON FAIR in the coming weeks, Capricorn. This does not apply to only those full, out-of-house Sept. 26 - 28 2019 FAIR employees. Whatever you do – at home, retired – will be recognized.

Health & Wellness REFLEXOLOGY AND THE EMOTIONAL COMPONENT OF HEALING

By Jo-Anne Sugarman

In traditional eastern medicine, emotions and the physical body are intimately connected. There is not an organ or gland in the body that is not affected by the mind. Every thought, every emotion either has a constructive or a destructive reaction on the body and the chemical content of our blood stream.

Energy blockages are created as every organ and gland corresponds to the energy of a specific negative emotion.

• The harmful emotions of the Kidneys are fear, anxiety, fright, shock, and feelings of insecurity and isolation.

• Lack of enthusiasm and vitality, mental restlessness, depression and despair are the negative emotions affecting the Heart.

Resort supports RMH

The Riverwood Camping Resort is a caring community located on the shores of the Scugog River south of Lindsay. It’s been family owned and operated for more than 50 years with campers who return season after season. Together, the campers look out for each other — and for their community.

Riverwood owners Penny Wagstaff and Sue Lockhart and employee Teresa Brasier recently presented a cheque for $3,520 to Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO, to support cancer services at the Ross Memorial Hospital.

“The funds were raised through a silent auction on August 10th,” said Penny. “We had so many campers

who really got behind it. They’re happy to support the hospital and its cancer services that impact so many people.”

“We’re thrilled to accept this gift from the folks at Riverwood Camping Resort,” said Erin Coons.

“The campers may not live here full time, but they understand the importance of having a full service hospital nearby. Their generosity will enhance cancer services including diagnostic imaging, cancer screening and surgical procedures and give patients their best chance to beat cancer.”
