Doug Ford coming to Peterborough and Lindsay

By kawarthaNOW -
Ontario Progressive Conservative party leadership candidate Doug Ford is hosting meet-and-greets in Peterborough and Lindsay on February 21, 2018.

Ontario Progressive Conservative party leadership hopeful Doug Ford is coming to Peterborough and Lindsay this Wednesday (February 21).

Ford will host a meet-and-greet from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m. at Carousel Restaurant (116 Lansdowne St. E., Peterborough) and then from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Howard Johnson (354 Lindsay St. S., Lindsay).

The brother of the late former Toronto mayor and a former Toronto city councillor himself, Ford announced on January 31st he would seek the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario and would also seek the PC nomination in Etobicoke North to run for the seat in this year’s Ontario election, to be held on June 7, 2018.

Prior to that announcement, Ford had intended to run as mayor of Toronto in the 2018 municipal election.

The 53-year-old Ford is competing for the leadership with lawyer Caroline Mulroney (daughter of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney), former PC MPP Christine Elliott (widow of former federal and provincial Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty), Catholic school parent advocate Tanya Granic Allen, and former Ontario Progressive Conservative party leader Patrick Brown.

On Monday (February 19), Ford spoke to a crowd of around 400 supporters at a meet-and-greet event in Ottawa.

“You need a principled leader, you need someone with integrity,” Ford said. “I’m the only person that’s going to go down there and clean house. I’ve said it over and over again: I’m cleaning house from top to bottom. The party’s over.”

Members of the Ontario Progressive Conservative party will be voting from March 2nd to 8th for the new leader, with the winner to be announced at a March 10th convention in Toronto.

Early taste of spring on the way for the Kawarthas

By kawarthaNOW -

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for parts of the Kawarthas as significant rainfall and very mild temperatures are expected over the next few days.

A series of weather systems are forecast to track northeastward across Lake Huron and Georgian Bay starting on Monday (February 19). The systems will bring very mild air into the region, along with periods of rain as each weather system passes by.

Latest indications suggest total rainfall amounts of 25 to 50 mm between Monday night and Wednesday (February 21) from these disturbances, with temperatures reaching a daytime high of 11°C on Tuesday and Wednesday in the southern portions of the Kawarthas.

The rain, combined with temperatures more typical of mid April, will result in most if not all of the snow on the ground melting away by mid week.

Environment Canada is closely monitoring the situation and may issue rainfall warnings if needed.

Adaptive Health Care Solutions treats the whole person, not just a list of symptoms

Located in downtown Peterborough, Adaptive Health Care Solutions comprises a team of health professionals who have come together to offer integrated health service from a single location, including a family medical practice, physiotherapy, kinesiology, massage therapy, foot care, naturopathy, and counselling.

Nobody wants to deal with a complex and persistent health issue, but if you do, you want a treatment team that you know has your back.

Nowadays, more than ever before, people are seeking an approach to medicine and health care that is more comprehensive, more integrative and holistic, and more sensitive and compassionate to their needs as a whole.

Sharing the philosophy of treating the whole person-mind, body and spirit — and not just a list of symptoms — is Adaptive Health Care Solutions.

The clinic, located at 270 Charlotte Street in downtown Peterborough, was established in 2013 as a collaboration between Dr. Fergal O’Hagan, Dr. Jordan Crane, Katherine McInnis, and Keith Nelson. The partners saw an opportunity to provide an integrated, patient-centric health service that allows individuals to access stand-alone services and coordinated services in one setting by a group of like-minded practitioners.

The first thing you notice at Adaptive Health Care Solutions is the welcoming reception area for the 3,000 square foot facility. Adaptive boasts rooms for family medicine and rehabilitation, individual interviews or group sessions, four treatment rooms for various sorts of hands-on therapies, and an open-concept gym that has two physiotherapy spaces. There is ample free parking at the clinic and the building is fully accessible. (Photo: Adaptive Health Care Solutions)

With a 3,000 square foot facility, Adaptive boasts rooms for family medicine and rehabilitation, individual interviews or group sessions, four treatment rooms for various sorts of hands-on therapies, an open-concept gym that has two physiotherapy spaces, and a welcoming reception area. Most rooms are flooded with natural light. There is ample free parking at the clinic and the building is fully accessible.

Clinic practitioners share a purpose and understanding of each other’s capabilities and scope, which inspires and fosters collaboration, says Katherine McInnis, Adaptive Health’s Clinical Social Worker and Director of Operations.

“We take a full-team approach to care, and this is to ensure that you receive services that are tailored to meet your specific needs and goals,” McInnis says. “Care can be very fragmented for many people, but here we have everything in one place.”

All under one roof, patients have access to a social worker, physiotherapists, massage therapists, a kinesiologist, and a foot care nurse. And if a person comes in with an interest in pursuing naturopathic care on top of the more traditional therapies, there is also a naturopathic doctor on site.

McInnis explains one of the benefits of Adaptive Health is that therapists believe in treating the “why” behind the “what” instead of prescribing ongoing treatments. This means that they try to find the reason for any discomfort, pain or concern before deciding on a treatment method.

“Traditionally, there was no emphasis on lifestyle changes to keep patients healthy; instead the focus was on treating patients once they were ill. We’re not about fixing what isn’t broken.”

Consider a patient who is seeking counselling for a trauma, explains McInnis. During the course of therapy, the patient may bring to light that they are also suffering from back pain as a result of physical stress or a former injury, or maybe they are dealing with something that is hormone related.

McInnis says in a scenario such as this, she could most likely recommend one of the other clinic practitioners, for example the physiotherapist or naturopathic doctor, to provide interdisciplinary care in a coordinated manner. It would also relieve stress and inconvenience for patients.

Adaptive is tailored to serve three referral sources: self-referred and doctor-referred patients, insurance company referrals, and employer referrals.

The self-referred and doctor-referred patient is someone who accesses a service that they feel is in their best interest and who is in complete control of their care.

“They will want to make sure the treatment is a good fit for them and meets their needs,” says McInnis. “They are in the driver’s seat 100 per cent.”

There is a common misconception in small cities that you have to travel to larger urban centres to receive the types of services that Adaptive Health offers to individuals, employers, and insurance companies. Since this suite of services often requires several visits to practitioners to address the health concern, it was quite inconvenient to clients.

Assessments are offered both in the clinic and in workplaces, including ergonomics assessments as pictured here. (Photo: Adaptive Health Care Solutions)

Adaptive is making it easier and more convenient for the residents of the greater Peterborough area to access services without having to travel to Toronto, Kingston or Ottawa.

“People want to take ownership of their health,” McInnis says. “Our whole-person approach honours the growing awareness that attention to the mind and body have a vital place in healing and preventing an injury or illness from recurring. Both are equally important for people.”

Peterborough Axe Club in National Axe Throwing Championships

The Peterborough Axe Club is sending six players to participate in the final round of the National Axe Throwing Championships on Sunday, February 18th in Toronto.

Evan Flak, Ken Smith, Chris Proctor-Bennett, Jamie “The Rooster” de Haan, Mark Hoar, and Phoenix Parkin will be participating in the tournament, which pits the top 128 throwers against each other in a double elimination playoff bracket.

The 7th annual tournament runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at The Backyard Axe Throwing League’s two Toronto locations: 33 Villiers St. and 153 Bridgeland Ave., Unit 15. Spectators are welcome to attend.

A purse of $7,500 will be divided among the top six finishers, with the champion being awarded the Wilson Cup. The event is organized by the National Axe Throwing Federation (NATF) as part of its All-Star Weekend.

The weekend isn’t just about throwing axes. It also raises funds for the Red Door Family Shelter in Toronto, which provides a temporary home to abused women and their children, homeless families, and newcomers to Canada.

Last year, NATF donated $4,800 to the Red Door Family Shelter from the 2017 All-Star Weekend.

In addition to the championship tournament, the All-Star Weekend also includes the “Winter Skillz” competition, held on Sunday, February 18th from 6 to 10:30 p.m. at 33 Villiers St. in Toronto. Spectators are welcome to watch the competition.

The competition consists of four axe-throwing events; “Around the World” (a race to hit six specific spots on the target in order), “Doubles” (a partnered competition where both competitors must throw their axe at the same time at the same target for each throw), “Time Trial” (a timed event comprised of three rounds of four throws each, moving along the targets in a single arena), and “Ambidextrous” (players throw two axes at the same time at the same target, with one axe in each hand).

The tournament and skills competition will be followed by the Axe Prom and Awards Ceremony on Monday, February 19th at 6 p.m. at the Palais Royale (1601 Lake Shore Blvd W., Toronto). This formal celebration (which is sold out) closes the 2018 All-Star Weekend with awards, food, dancing, and professional photography.

For more information about the NATF All-Star Weekend, visit www.nationalaxe.com/all-star-weekend-2018.html.

If you can’t make it to Toronto to watch the competition, NATF will be streaming the finals beginning Sunday at 2:30 p.m. live on Facebook.

The world's top 128 throwers will compete for the Wilson Cup, with the top six finalists sharing a purse of $7,500. In 2017, Stefan Herda was the inaugural winner of the Wilson Cup as well as $1,000 in prize money. (Photo: National Axe Federation / Facebook)

NATF Commissioner Matt Wilson originally pioneered the sport of urban axe throwing in his Toronto backyard in 2006. Since then, the sport has gained world-wide popularity with member organizations across Canada as well as in the U.S., Australia, Poland and Thailand.

NATF was established in 2016 to service the sport of axe throwing globally, with a vision to create broad and standardized competition among players, while providing member support through a mandate to promote universal safety, sportsmanship, and competitive protocol.

What’s open and closed on Family Day 2018

By kawarthaNOW -
Ontario introduced Family Day in 2008 as a winter holiday to break up the long stretch of time between the Christmas holidays and Easter and to give many employees an extra day off to spend time with their families.

Family Day is observed on the third Monday of February, except in British Columbia where it’s celebrated on the second Monday of February. In Ontario, it’s a statutory holiday under the Employment Standards Act and Retail Business Holidays Act, so provincial and municipal offices, liquor and beer stores, and banks are closed, as are many libraries, shopping malls, grocery stores, and large retail stores. Tourist attractions, smaller stores, restaurants, museums, and theatres are usually open.

Since Family Day is not a federal statutory holiday, federal government offices and many federally regulated businesses remain open. Regular collection and delivery of mail occurs on Family Day.

For your convenience, we provide this list of 250 selected businesses, services, and organizations from across the Kawarthas. While we strive to make the information on this list as accurate as we can, you should call first to confirm hours if you’re travelling any distance (we’ve included phone numbers). If your business or organization is listed and the hours are incorrect, please let us know by using our content feedback form.

The Canadian Canoe Museum is inviting all families to enjoy camping-themed fun on Family Day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, February 19th.

The fourth annual Great Canadian Family Day, which takes place at the museum at 910 Monaghan Road in Peterborough, features 10 activity stations as well as artisan demonstrations.

Back by popular demand, the canoe zip line will fly through the galleries. In addition, participants can craft a paracord zipper-pull, a clothes pin portager, a constellation card, 3D forest creatures, and more.

“Family Day is a highlight of the year for us,” says Karen Taylor, Education Manager. “It’s a great opportunity to offer our family members and visitors fun new ways to experience the museum together.”

All activities are included for the price of family admission or membership, both of which will be discounted by $5 for Family Day.

Family admission (up to two adults and four children aged five to 17) will be $25 for the day, or you can purchase a family membership for $45.

As well as artisan demonstrations, there will be 10 activity stations, including one for assembling 3D forest creatures like this deer. (Photo courtesy of The Canadian Canoe Museum)

Membership forms are available in advance online at www.canoemuseum.ca/membership/ or at the door on Family Day.

How to get ready for winter thaws

By GreenUP -
Clearing away snow and ice from around the drain will prevent flooding from happening when there is a rise in the temperature. This is particularly important during a thaw or come spring when one of the main causes of localized flooding is a blocked storm drain.

So far this year, the weather has been up and down like a yo-yo. Over the past month we’ve seen temperatures as low as -25C° and as high as +10C°, with days that have brought us everything from frigid winds and freezing rain to meltwater and puddling around sewer grates.

This winter, it seems we must be ready for any type of weather. It’s easy to keep the rain boots and umbrella handy in case of a sudden rise in temperature, but it may not always seem as easy to keep your home prepared.

There are many things we can do to be prepared for a freeze up, and for a thaw; one of the best ways, whether it’s in frozen or liquid form, is to keep water in mind over the winter.

Although it comes and goes, snow is inevitable during a Peterborough winter. Most of us take time to pull out the shovel to clear a safe way for walking and parking the car, but also keep an eye out for storm drains. Storm drains should be kept clear of snow, ice, and debris, especially in the winter. If you have a storm drain located near your home, take a look for it when you’re shovelling your driveway; if the plow has gone by, the drain is likely buried.

Clearing away snow and ice from around the drain will prevent flooding from happening if there is a rise in the temperature. This is particularly important during a thaw or come spring when one of the main causes of localized flooding is a blocked storm drain.

Flooded areas can quickly turn to ice patches if the temperature falls again; using minimal salt and keeping litter out of the snowbanks will also help to keep contaminants our of our local waterways.

If snow is melting rapidly, it’s a good time to go outside and see how and where the water flows around your home. Check your eaves, downspouts, and surfaces in your yard that will point you toward flood-prone areas. Areas of pooling water can sometimes be easily remedied by simply adjusting the downspout, but you may want to take note of bigger fixes like levelling patio stones, or installing a rain barrel that can help when the weather is warmer.

If water is pooling, it could quickly turn to a slippery ice patch during a freeze-up. While salt is a popular choice for clearing ice in the winter months, using too much salt can have a negative impact on buildings, wildlife, vehicles, clothing, vegetation, and pets.

Salt is effective but should be used wisely. Shovel the snow first and then treat only the ice patches. It is important to remember that a little salt goes a long way. In many cases, only one tablespoon of salt is needed for a one-metre square area!

Better yet, forget the salt altogether and use an environmentally friendly alternative; sand, non-clumping cat litter, and fireplace ashes are great salt alternatives that provide traction on icy areas. You can also purchase salt-substitutes like Swish Clean and Green Ice Melter. It contains magnesium chloride, which is gentle on your gardens, concrete walkways, carpeting, and your pet’s paws, and is available at the GreenUP Store.

“We often think about water during times of flood or drought, even though we are most surrounded by water in the winter — snow!” says GreenUP Water Programs Manager Heather Ray. “Whatever we put on the snow in the winter, such as salt on the walk or driveway, will likely make its way into local waterways.”

When overused, salt can run off and cause harm to fish and wildlife in local waterways, and so can other pollutants. Debris and surface water pollutants such as cigarette butts and pet waste may seem to ‘disappear’ in the snow, but these contaminants will emerge from melting snow banks and can wreak havoc on aquatic life.

“Winter is a great time to start rethinking our connection with water,” Ray suggests. “How we impact water in one season can impact water well into the next season. When I see my kids playing in the snow, I think about how what is happening in winter can impact them down the line, while they are swimming at the beach, fishing at the lake, and drinking a glass of water.”

Look for ice-melting alternatives to salt that contain magnesium chloride, which is gentler on vegetation, concrete, water, and floors. It's not corrosive and is completely safe to handle with bare hands, so it's safer around children and pets, too. You also need to use less of it to accomplish the same job as salt.

While no one is over-watering their lawn in February, we also still need to keep conserving water in winter. Water conservation messages are popular during the summer months when outdoor water use can increase upward of 50 per cent, but it is still important to conserve water during the cold season.

Reducing water use in the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room can be easy with the use of low-flow features, and by not letting unused water flow down the drain. If you are dreaming of a hot shower to warm up this winter, consider capturing the cold water that runs while you wait for water to warm up. You can use it for watering plants or changing the fishbowl.

It is also a good idea to keep a close eye on your water meter in winter when cracking or bursting pipes can be a concern. To check for leaks, simply turn off all the water in your home and then check the flow indicator on your water meter. If it is moving, you have a leak somewhere.

You can learn more about how to read your water meter, and sign up for a weekly email tracking your water consumption by contacting Peterborough Utilities at www.peterboroughutilities.ca/Water/Water_Meters.

It is a good idea to stay on top of the winter water maintenance, be sure to take time to play in the snow, too! Snow is water, so have fun with it! The more we connect with water and develop a positive relationship with it, the more we will want to conserve and protect it for future generations.

Kawartha Lakes city council approves enhancements to Lindsay Transit

By kawarthaNOW -
The City of Kawartha Lakes will be enhancing Lindsay Transit and LIMO over the next 10 years, including a new Sunday service, expanding an existing route and adding a new route, adding evening service, adding service to Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls, installing smart cards and bike racks on buses, and more. (Photo: City of Kawartha Lakes)

On Tuesday (February 13), City of Kawartha Lakes council approved recommendations to enhance transit service in Lindsay and surrounding areas over the next 10 years.

The recommendations, which will increase the reach of transit within Kawartha Lakes and meet the needs of an aging population, are outlined in the Lindsay Transit Master Plan.

They include a new Sunday service, expanding an existing route and adding a new route, adding evening service, adding service to Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls, installing smart cards and bike racks on buses, and more. The service enhancements alone will add more than $700,000 to the city’s transit budget by 2026.

Currently, Lindsay Transit offers services on three routes that connect at an on-street transit terminal in the central business district of Lindsay. Service runs during the day from Monday through Saturday. The City of Kawartha Lakes also provides LIMO Specialized Transit, a shared door-to-door public transit service in Lindsay for people with physical or functional disabilities who are not able to use conventional public transit.

From 2012 to 2016, transit ridership has grown faster than the local population, with around 100,000 passenger trips annually.

The roll-out of enhancements will be implemented gradually from 2019 to 2026:

  • 2019 – Add Sunday service to all routes and LIMO (net cost: $76,400 per year)
  • 2021 – Add a new route to service new commercial developments and new residential areas (net cost: $233,800 per year)
  • 2022 – Add weekday evening service until 11 p.m. (net cost: $237,600 per year)
  • 2023 – Add three round trips per day from Bobcaygeon to Lindsay, three days per week (net cost: $50,000 per year)
  • 2024 – Increase service between Bobcaygeon and Lindsay to five days per week (net cost: $33,700 per year)
  • 2025 – Add two trips per weekday between Bobcaygeon and Lindsay (net cost: $54,000 per year)
  • 2026 – Add weekday commuter service from Lindsay to the GO bus stop at Highway 35/115 (net cost: $34,000 per year).

Approved recommendations also include:

  • equipping all Lindsay Transit and LIMO buses with a smart card reader by 2021, with the ability to payments through smart phones
  • providing a large heated shelter for transit customers at the downtown transfer location
  • equipping existing buses with bike racks and including bike racks on future bus purchases
  • hiring an additional “community liaison” staff member dedicated to public transportation, who would deal with public complaints and requests, liaise on social media, work with local businesses, school boards, social service agencies and academic institutions, and more.

“Our goal is to provide a transit service plan that meets public transit needs in a financially responsible way,” says Todd Bryant, Manager of Fleet and Transit at the City of Kawartha Lakes. “The plan maps out what transit services will look like for the next 10 years. We will build on recent successes, improve service reliability and accessibility and expand our reach within the city where feasible.”
