OVER THE BACK FENCE
Here’s a question for the week ... do you have a bucket list? You know, those things you want to do at some point before you head to the “great beyond.” Some people want to skydive, or bungie jump, or see a whale. Two of those things are not on my list ... and you can probably guess which ones!
Ever since we moved up here to the Kawarthas, I’ve wanted to rent a houseboat and travel through some of our beautiful lakes. I am reminded to the 1950s movie, “Tammy and the Bachelor” where Debbie Reynolds lived on a houseboat on the bayou with her granny. There’s just something about having your home with you as you travel, being able to stop along the way and just park in a small bay. Listening to the loons on the lake in the morning and, okay, the mosquitos at night. But there’s also something a little romantic about that.
Anyway, I was having breakfast with a good friend last week, and the topic of bucket lists came up. Without prompting from me, she asked if I’d ever wanted to go on a houseboat.
I almost jumped out of my chair! “Yes,” I said. “I’ve always wanted to do that!” It turns out that so has she ... so we jumped right in and booked it! Then, a reality hit – we’ve never piloted a boat like this! So, we discussed getting someone to pilot the boat for us. After all, we’re older, we’re women, and we’ve never done anything like this. But the more we talked, the bolder we became. Who needs someone else to drive for us? We can do it! After all, we’ve seen folks come into the Buckhorn lock on a houseboat and they’re pretty bad drivers! If we’re smart about it, and watch the videos, we are more than capable. So that problem was solved – we’re taking the bull by the horns (or the houseboat by the wheel) and doing it!
I told my brother (who has a boat) about our upcoming adventure and he just laughed at me! I don’t think he has confidence in my abilities. I want to start checking things off my list before it’s too late. If this houseboat thing works out, maybe there is a chance I’ll hit the ferris wheel at the Fair! Stay tuned!

NEW DONOR WALL FOR CCCKL
Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes recently unveiled a new Donor Wall at the Community Health Centre in Lindsay.
Officials say it is meant to be a lasting tribute to the generosity of those who have contributed $25,000 or more over their lifetime in support of Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes.
“This permanent display is more than a recognition piece. It is a reflection of the compassion, commitment, and community spirit that make our work possible. We
Dr. Mark D. Black
are deeply grateful to every donor whose generosity continues to strengthen the health and well being of our community.” said Community Care on Facebook.
The project was brought to life through a collaboration with a local LCVI high school teacher, Joe Tamlin, and student, Miles M. whose creativity and craftsmanship transformed this vision into something meaningful, allowing Community Care to celebrate donors while supporting local talent.
“Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special event and to the donors whose lasting impact will be recognized for years to come. Together, we’re building a stronger, more caring community.”
OPP HAVE BEEN BUSY ON THE WATER
Over the Canada Day long weekend, the OPP Snowmobile, All-Terrain Vehicle and Vessel Enforcement (SAVE) Unit laid 39 charges and issued 32 warnings as they conducted marine patrols across Central Region waterways.
Included in the charges were three counts of towing a person without a spotter, four counts of operating a vessel with open alcohol and, most disturbing, 11 counts of failing to have a personal flotation device or lifejacket.
Police say the consequences of operating a vessel while impaired are the same as those for impaired driving on Ontario highways and can result in criminal charges, licence suspensions, and other significant penalties. Your driver’s licence can be impacted whether you are operating a boat, vehicle, snowmobile, or ATV impaired.
Enforcement efforts will continue throughout the summer. Boaters are reminded that wearing a lifejacket, operating sober, carrying the required safety equipment, and ensuring all licences and vessel registration documents are up to date are essential steps in keeping Ontario’s waterways safe.

750 WAYS TO SAVE A LIFE
By Max Miller
When Bill Peter was a teenager growing up in Toronto he knew of his families tradition of giving. Wanting to continue that custom, he reasoned that since he wasn’t afraid of needles he could start donating blood. He gave his first donation at 17. On June 29 in Lindsay, at the Armories, he gave his 250th donation!
Statistically, every donation can save three lives. So over the years, Bill may have saved 750 lives. He’s 74 now.
Donating is more than an act of generosity. It’s a feeling, a powerful pull that unites us. When you give, you’re part of something greater -- a community that lifts you up, a purpose that drives you, a connection that stays with you. Canada needs one million donors over the next five years to support patient needs, which is why there’s never been a more impactful time to be a donor.
As a blood donor you form a vital link in Canada’s Lifeline, helping many Canadians wake up healthy each day. It only takes about an hour of your time to change someone’s life.
There are blood donor clinics regularly in Lindsay, Fenelon Falls and Peterborough.Younger blood donors are especially needed.

KATVA CELEBRATES MILESTONE SUPPORT
Submitted by Kim Coulter
When members of the Kawartha ATV Association (KATVA) hit the trails, they count kilometres, litres in the tank, and the number of amazing moments they’re collecting. Today, they can add a few more numbers to the tally: in 10 years of Poker Runs, KATVA has raised $100,000 to support critical patient care needs at Ross Memorial Hospital. The number of lives they’ve touched through their giving: too many to count.
On June 6, they set out for their Annual Poker Run with 218 adult registrants from as far as Ottawa and London, 11 youth participants, 50 volunteers and more than 50 community champions who donated items for KATVA’s silent auction.
KATVA organizers were on track to meet another goal — to raise enough at this year’s Poker Run to make a donation to the RMH Foundation that put KATVA over the $100,000 total giving mark. Their off-roading was on point.
funding needs in the Mental Health Inpatient Unit, the OR and the Diagnostic Imaging Department.”
“This is something every member of the KATVA family should be proud of,” said Rhonda White of KATVA. “Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community, supporting projects that benefit everyone.”
By reaching this level of total giving, KATVA will receive Founder level recognition with a plaque on the 1902 Society Wall in Ross Memorial’s main lobby.
KAWARTHA SENIORS REPRESENT THE PEOPLE
Submitted by Sherry Hillman
Kawartha seniors joined other groups across Canada in front of their respective Members of Parliament offices to urge action on “The Peoples MOU” instead of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Prime Minster Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.
Organized across Canada by 350.org, the local chapter of Seniors for Climate Action Now (SCAN) met with local MP Jamie Schmale, to oppose the fast-tracking of projects exempted from safety and environmental regulations that protect our communities and respect Indigenous Rights.
Through their incredibly successful event and an unexpected anonymous donation, KATVA’s donation to the RMH Foundation is $15,579.44 bringing the group’s cumulative giving to $100,008.44!
“There’s a reason KATVA’s Poker Run is so successful. It creates a buzz, attracts people from all over, and together they make something great even better,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “We want to thank the riders, volunteers, sponsors and landowners involved in making KATVA’s Poker Runs such an incredible success. In ten years, you have impacted local patient care with support for the Emergency Department expansion and creation of a Mental Health Emergency Services Unit, as well as
Group members all expressed concerns with the local impacts of climate change, recounting recent local wild fires, the ice storm, heat waves, drought and floods to underscore that “we are in a climate emergency, here and now!”
The group engaged in a spirited discussion with MP Schmale on the cause of climate change and role of the fossil fuel industry. The Peoples MOU proposes a 75% excess profits tax on their inflated wartime profits.
Sherry Hillman, speaking for the group, added that there is a stark contrast between what the Mexican Government is doing around climate change, because it is not owned and controlled by the fossil fuel industry as it is in Canada, where the government subsidizes and enables the expansion of fossil fuel industry. She noted the price gouging at the pumps here since the Gulf war began while Mexico’s gas costs have remained steady. “In Mexico, the government runs the fossil fuel industry, while in Canada, it seems that the fossil fuel companies are running the government.”

POSITIVE INFLUENCE AWARDS
Four young women graduating from our local high schools were recognized last week for their peer leadership with the Soroptimist Positive Influence Award from Soroptimist International of Kawartha Lakes.
Soroptimist International of Kawartha Lakes joins with the schools in their annual recognition activities by presenting the award to a female graduating student from each of the city’s four secondary schools who models values, beliefs and attitudes that inspire others. The modest cash award is presented to a young woman for being an exemplary role model to her peers, focusing on positive character traits rather than academic or athletic achievement.
The 2026 recipients are:
• Sarah Dewey, Fenelon Falls Secondary School
• Terryn Ryan, Lindsay Collegiate and Vocational Institute
• Fiona Zack, St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School
• Kaydance Lane, I.E. Weldon Secondary School
Since the program’s inception in 2012, 52 young women have received the Soroptimist Positive Influence Award.
Soroptimist International of Kawartha Lakes is a volunteer service organization for women dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls, in local communities and throughout the world. Founded in 2011, the club is part of Soroptimist International
where more than 62,400 Soroptimists in 106 countries and territories contribute time and financial support to community-based projects that benefit women and girls.
GALLERY OFFERS UNIQUE EXHIBIT
Submitted by Kevin Frank
This summer, the Colborne Street Gallery presents A Hooker’s Manifesto, a provocative solo exhibition by local artisan Linda Smith. Serving as a real-time
response to the re-election of Donald Trump and the erosion of democratic norms, Smith uses vibrant wool and intricate loops to document profound modern moments of disbelief, outrage, and absurdity.
For more than two decades, Smith has mastered traditional Maritime rug hooking, a medium historically tethered to domesticity and regional heritage. In this new body of work, she subverts those traditions, transforming the comfort of textiles into a platform for fierce political urgency.
By marrying floral aesthetics with subversive commentary, Smith forces a confrontation with the viewer, questioning whether silence in the face of political shift can ever truly be neutral. The collection masterfully balances a stark ideological edge with
a humorous aesthetic, inviting vital community conversation into the gallery space.
In an alignment of craft and activism, 50 percent of all sales proceeds will be donated directly to the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA).
PEDESTRIAN CROSSING IN FENELON
The Fenelon Falls & District Chamber of Commerce invites residents, businesses, and community stakeholders to attend a public meeting on the proposed pedestrian crossing over the Fenelon River.
For many years, improving pedestrian connectivity has been a community priority. As Fenelon Falls continues to grow as a vibrant place to live, work, and visit, safe and accessible active transportation routes are becoming increasingly important. A pedestrian crossing would help connect key destinations, improve walkability, enhance accessibility, and provide another safe option for residents and visitors to enjoy everything our downtown and waterfront have to offer.
The evening will provide an opportunity to learn more about the proposed design and location of the crossing from Planmac Engineering Inc., ask questions during a moderated Q&A, and review the project plans during an open house.
The event takes place on Tuesday, July 21 from 5:30pm to 7pm at the Fenelon Falls Seniors’ Centre, 58 Murray Street.
GROWING MORE THAN VEGETABLES
From explorefenelonfalls.com
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” — Helen Keller
This quote perfectly captures the spirit of the Victory Garden located behind Maryboro Lodge, where volunteers and members of the Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society recently gathered to plant another season of hope, generosity, and community.
While rows of tomatoes, beans, squash, lettuce, and other vegetables are taking root in the soil, the Victory Garden grows something far greater than food. It cultivates compassion, connection, and a shared commitment to helping our neighbours.
Each year, dedicated volunteers generously donate their time, energy, and expertise to ensure the garden flourishes. From planning and planting to watering, weeding, harvesting, and maintaining the garden throughout the growing season, countless hours are invested by individuals who believe that no family in our community should go without access to fresh, healthy food.
The harvest from the Victory Garden is donated to the local food bank, helping provide nutritious produce to families and individuals facing food insecurity. Every tomato picked, every bean harvested, and every basket of vegetables delivered represents the caring hands and generous hearts of those who make this project possible.
The Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society is proud
to support an initiative that demonstrates the power of gardening as a force for good. Gardening teaches us patience, stewardship, and respect for the natural world, but the Victory Garden reminds us that it can also be a meaningful way to give back to our community.
The efforts of our volunteers do not go unnoticed. Whether spending an hour pulling weeds, tending young seedlings, or harvesting produce on a warm summer evening, every contribution matters. Together, these small acts create a lasting impact for local families who rely on the support of the food bank.
As the garden begins another growing season, we invite community members to consider joining our gardening team. No experience is necessary—just a willingness to lend a hand and be part of something meaningful. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or simply looking for a way to give back, there is a place for you in the Victory Garden.
In a world where many challenges can feel overwhelming, the Victory Garden offers a simple but powerful reminder: when a community comes together with a common purpose, remarkable things can grow.
We extend our sincere thanks to every volunteer and member who helped plant this year’s garden and to those who will continue to care for it in the months ahead. Your dedication is helping nourish not only the soil but also the lives of families throughout our community.
Together, we are growing food, growing hope, and growing a stronger Fenelon Falls.
For more information on the Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society or ways you can volunteer, please visit www.backyardbuzz.ca.
HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?
With the heat of the last few weeks, and a few rather crazy storms thrown in, we thought we would check with Environment Canada to shed some light on our summer weather.
• Climate change is causing extreme hot temperatures at a greater frequency than in the past, increasing the severity of heat waves and contributing to the risk of drought and wildfires.
• Thunderstorms remain one of Canada’s most frequent hazardous weather types, producing potentially life-threatening lightning, hail, damaging winds, flash floods, and tornadoes.
• Canada’s average summer temperatures have warmed by 1.65C since 1948
• The tendency for Summer 2026 will be toward warmer-than-normal conditions.
It’s important to stay informed about what’s coming, so signing up for a weather app is a great idea. If nothing else, keep your eyes on the skies and if it roars, head indoors!
