The biggest news stories in Peterborough and the Kawarthas in 2018 included the provincial and municipal elections, the legalization of cannabis, and the closure of the General Motors plant in Oshawa. While kawarthaNOW covered these stories along with other media, as locally owned independent media, we also strive to cover local stories from across the Kawarthas that the traditional media don’t.

We’re proud to have published almost a thousand stories in 2018, including quite a few that we broke before other media. To do this, we brought on three new writers from across the Kawarthas (Amy Bowen of Peterborough, April Potter of Port Hope, and Barb Shaw of Coe Hill) in 2018, complementing our existing regular writers (Josh Fewings, Eva Fisher, Paula Kehoe, Paul Rellinger, Shannon Taylor, and Sam Tweedle, along with myself and publisher Jeannine Taylor) and several guest writers. We also maintained a monthly inventory of around 1,000 local events, thanks in large part to our events editor Angela Johnson.

In addition to breaking news and community stories, in 2018 we published five weekly columns (businessNOW, nightlifeNOW, Peterborough GreenUP, Kawartha Chamber of Commerce & Tourism news, and The Beach Report during the summer) and five monthly columns (artNOW, musicNOW, kNOSH News, our top Instagram photos, and what’s coming to Netflix).

Below we’ve selected our top 10 most popular stories for each month of 2018, with our most popular story of the year from April, when the Peterborough Humane Society adopted out 15 dogs rescued from a Korean meat farm. That story was shared more than 5,000 times on Facebook alone, reaching over 30,000 people.

As Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day are statutory holidays in Ontario, all government offices and services are closed (many are also closed during Boxing Week). Liquor and beer stores are closed, except for a selected few that will be open on Boxing Day this year for the first time. Most businesses — including malls, box stores, and grocery stores — are closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day but are open on Boxing Day. Many businesses close early in the afternoon on both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

For your convenience, we provide this list of holiday hours for 257 selected businesses, services, and organizations across the Kawarthas. This information comes from their websites and social media accounts, which may or may not be up to date, so please always call them first to confirm their hours (we’ve included phone numbers), especially where you see “call to confirm” or if you are travelling any distance. If your business or organization is listed and the hours are incorrect, please let us know by using our content feedback form.

Kawartha Land Trust (KLT) is officially opening the new Cation Wildlife Preserve near Coboconk in the City of Kawartha Lakes on Saturday, June 22nd.

The 669-acre property includes marked trails for passive recreational use by the public, including hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.

The newly protected property was donated to KLT by David and Sharon Cation.

After David’s mother died in 1998, he and his brother decided to use the proceeds of her small estate to purchase the property, which is located on French Settlement Road north of Indian Point Provincial Park on Balsam Lake, around 45 kilometres north of Lindsay.

“We decided to buy land for future generations which is what our parents had done all their lives,” Cation says.

“Buying the French Settlement Road property to protect for future generations is merely keeping her legacy alive. We wish she could be here to participate.”

The Cations decided the best way to ensure the property remains protected is to donate it to KLT, which David had learned about through the organization’s campaign to save Boyd Island, southern Ontario’s largest undeveloped island located in Pigeon Lake just east of Bobcaygeon. He subsequently volunteered to work on a number of KLT properties, helping with trail cleanup and participating in other stewardship activities.

As with all properties, before KLT could accept the Cations’ gift, it needed to raise a stewardship endowment fund. Around $200,000 was required for securement-related expenses and to ensure the property could be cared for in perpetuity.

Financial support was provided by the Government of Canada through the federal Department of Environment and Climate Change. Curve Lake First Nation, Ontario Parks (Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry), and Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock MP Jamie Schmale all wrote letters supporting the acquisition.

The new Cation Wildlife Preserve sits in the middle of several protected areas, including the Altberg Wildlife Sanctuary Nature Reserve, Indian Point and Balsam Lake Provincial Parks, Queen Elizabeth Wildlands Provincial Park, and the Carl Sedore Wildlife Management Area.

Although today the property is a thriving area filled with plant and wildlife species, that was not always the case: for over a century it suffered from hard use.

In the 1800s, heavy logging wiped out old hardwoods and conifers, reducing the forests and opening up the landscape. The open fields were then used as a range, with cattle grazing there for many years. Around 30 years ago, the property was logged again, wiping out the larger trees and significantly reducing the area’s biodiversity.

The property was eventually sold to a recreational hunter, who used it to train dogs for hunting coyotes. He surrounded the property with electric fencing, which prevented some species from using the natural corridor and accessing the protected natural spaces in the area.

After several years of this use, the land was left vacant and the landscape began to regenerate. Grasses and shrubby plants began to grow, and muddy open areas where the dogs once ran became covered again with native vegetation. As the fencing deteriorated, large wildlife began to use the property as a natural corridor again.

The property is now made up of rolling areas that were once pasture grasslands, with shrubby meadow thickets, early successional and mixed hardwood forests, and a swamp that is part of a 183-acre Provincially Significant Wetland. A trail system passes through the grasslands and meadows, which are home to a wide range of wildlife.

Bird species spotted on the property include golden-winged warblers, bald eagles, upland sandpipers, and thrashers, with belted kingfishers and hooded mergansers inhabiting the swampy area along with painted turtles and leopard and green frogs.

Staghorn sumac, wild red raspberry, and blackberry bushes found throughout the property are a food source to many species, and there are signs that white-tailed deer, coyotes, black bears, and even moose have visited the property.

The old dog kennels, wire fencing, and old rain barrels left behind by the previous owner were repurposed by the Kawartha Wildlife Centre, with volunteers taking everything apart this summer so it can be made into wildlife enclosures and raccoon beds. Other wildlife organizations, including Speaking of Wildlife, are using the old fencing for new enclosures and other projects.

This is the third property protected by KLT in Decemeber 2018. Bob and Mary Hartley recently entered into a conservation easement agreement for their 44-acre Pine Ridge property west of the Pigeon River, and Scott Wootton and Catherine Kirk donated a 34-acre property near Burleigh.

KLT is the only non-governmental charitable organization committed to protecting land in the Kawarthas. With these three properties, the organization is now protecting a total of 17 properties covering more than 4,101 acres of diverse and significant land.

There is a town in north Ontario
With dream comfort memory to spare
And in my mind
I still need a place to go
All my changes were there.

– “Helpless” by Neil Young

A new public art mural in Omemee pays homage to the village’s most famous former inhabitant, the iconic singer-songwriter Neil Young.

The mural, designed and painted by artist Russ Gordon, was installed earlier this month on the west-facing wall of Coronation Hall at 1 King Street West, where Young performed his “Home Town” concert on December 1, 2017.

Located 128 kilometres northeast of Toronto, Omemee is the “town in north Ontario” in Young’s 1967 song “Helpless” and it’s where he spent the formative years of his childhood.

The Young family moved to Omemee at the end of August 1949, when Neil was almost four years old. He lived in Omemee for four years (it was where he contracted polio, during the 1951 epidemic) until 1953, when his family moved to Winnipeg.

Many years later, his father — journalist and author Scott Young — returned to live in the area until he died in 2005 (a public school in Omemee is named in Scott Young’s honour).

The Neil Young mural is based on a painting that Gordon turned into a print and donated through a fundraiser to the former Youngtown Museum in Omemee.

“Being a big Neil Young fan and a supporter of Canadian music, when I first heard about the Youngtown museum in Omemee, I knew that I had to visit it,” Gordon says.

“I wanted to contribute to what I thought was a great venue and a well presented tribute to Neil and our Canadian music history. The print that I painted was to honour Neil Young and the small town roots that he grew up in.”

The Youngtown Rock ‘n’ Roll Museum was founded in 2006 by collector Trevor “T.R.” Hosier and was located at 45 King Street East in Omemee, only six buildings away from Young’s childhood home.

Hosier closed the private, volunteer-run museum in 2014 and put the building up for sale because of the time and cost required for its upkeep.

In 2015, the Olde Gaol Museum in Lindsay agreed to host a much smaller version of the exhibit, which subsequently closed for good in September 2017.

Gordon donated the rights to re-create the image as a mural, and the City of Kawartha Lakes paid the cost of producing and installing the 12-by-eight-foot mural.

“I was very humbled when I was asked to reproduce my original painting as a mural for the outside of Coronation Hall, the very place that Mister Young held his Hometown concert,” Gordon says.

“Thank you Omemee and the City of Kawartha Lakes. It is a definite highlight in my career for me to be able to honour this Canadian music legend.”

The mural is the first public art project created under the municipality’s new Public Art Policy, but it’s not the first mural in Omemee.

In May 2018, Mount Forest artist Cliff Smith painted a 24-by-16-foot mural, celebrating the culture and heritage of Omemee and acknowledging the service of veterans, on the west side of the Omemee Legion building at 46 King Street East.
