To the Thawing Wind by Robert Frost

Come with rain, O loud Southwester! Bring the singer, bring the nester; Give the buried flower a dream; Make the settled snow-bank steam; Find the brown beneath the white; But whate'er you do to-night, Bathe my window, make it flow, Melt it as the ice will go; Melt the glass and leave the sticks Like a hermit's crucifix; Burst into my narrow stall; Swing the picture on the wall; Run the rattling pages o'er; Scatter poems on the floor; Turn the poet out of door.

We have had the declaration of the first day of spring and have celebrated Easter weekend but on April 27th, Haliburton still awaits warmer days, open water and new forest growth! Our community members expressed their thoughts about “late” Spring through facebook posts while Robert Frost shared his thoughts many years ago through his poetry.

April 16, 2018 was a snow day for schools and OPP recommended that we should stay home if possible. These blue jays did not get the memo while our Blue Jays baseball team had to cancel their game due to falling ice damage!

President’s Message – Spring 2018

Welcome to Spring!

I agonized over whether to write ‘Welcome to Spring’ in case winter hung on a bit longer and we needed our ski-doo’s to get to the spring GM. I hope you all pulled through in one piece and are looking forward to the beginning of another beautiful season at the cottage!

Excitement is building for our 4th annual Art on the Dock, a studio-type tour featuring 38 artists and artisans at 18

locations around Kennisis Lake. Exhibitors will be showing and selling their fine arts and crafts on their docks, decks and

in their cottages, lofts and garages. Visitors are welcome to tour the lake by boat or by road - Art on the Dock signs will

designate the locations.

Please plan to attend the Spring Meeting Saturday May 19th as those in attendance will be eligible to win a draw for a limited edition print of Leonardo Creates His Mooser Lisa, a painting

specially created by Wilf McOstrich for Art on the Dock. At the meeting, there will also be a display of many of the donated art pieces to be won at future draws or at a silent

auction to be held at the Ladies of the Lake Luncheon. Again this year to increase our donation to Artists in the

Schools, we will be selling limited edition prints and t-shirts depicting the Leonardo Creates His Mooser Lisa graphic.

Why Lake Associations and the Federation of Cottagers’ Associations (FOCA) Matter

(Submitted by Tony Lepine member of the FOCA board)

Each spring, all of us are primed and ready to make the first trip of the season to our cottages in anticipation of another memorable season at the lake. We are truly fortunate to be able to enjoy this year after year. But things are never perfect. Cottage problems notwithstanding, we deal with rapidly changing weather patterns, invasive species, degrading water quality, too much or too little government regulation and many other issues that complicate what should be an otherwise simple cottage experience.

Fortunately, we have among us those who give their time to buffer these imperfections. All across cottage country we have lake associations comprised of hard working volunteers. The board of the Kennisis Lake Cottage Owners’ Association (KLCOA) is a prime example of that. The list of initiatives undertaken by the board is impressive: Love your Lake, Septic inspections, BOOM, Art on the Dock, Ladies of the Lake luncheon, roadside cleanup and many more.

In 2017, I joined the Board of Directors for the Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations (FOCA). FOCA itself has been around since 1963, when 125 people from 40 cottage associations met in a Toronto hotel to come together as a provincial organization. Today, FOCA has more than 500 member Associations, representing 50,000 waterfront families across the province. The KLCOA has been a member of FOCA for many years.

The issues have changed over time but FOCA’s mission remains the same: to protect thriving and sustainable waterfronts across Ontario. FOCA fought hard for government action on the issue of acid rain, and secured municipal voting rights for waterfront property owners in our cottage ridings. (By the way: get ready to vote again, this October.) For over 30 years, FOCA’s Lake Stewards have been at the core of the Lake Partner Program, the world’s largest freshwater volunteer monitoring program. The KLCOA has over the years, through a dedicated group of volunteers, participated in the Lake Partner Program. More information may be found at: https://foca.on.ca/lake-partner-program-sampling-assistance/ and at: https://www.klcoa.org/stewardship/water-quality .

FOCA works all year round on behalf of the Ontario waterfront owners. They share news and updates about cottage country issues in their monthly Elerts (e-newsletters), on social media, through brochures and publications, and on the FOCA website where you can always search by topic for answers: https://foca.on.ca/resources/.

Page 9

FOCA manages programs for lake associations about invasive species prevention, cottage succession and volunteer liability, among other topics. FOCA also keeps pace with policy changes and government developments that may affect waterfront property owners. Whether it is electricity pricing, mining rights, land claims, water quality or taxation, FOCA sits at the table where individuals cannot. Terry Rees, FOCA’s executive director, is frequently asked by ministers, deputy ministers and senior staff from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), Ministry of the Environment (MOE), other ministries and other organizations to provide input on issues of concern to those ministries and organizations.

Over the past two years, FOCA challenged the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry to clarify dock permit rules which were thrown into limbo during the summer of 2015, and remained mired in red tape throughout 2016. After sustained effort, FOCA saw the Ministry post new regulations in June 2017 that reinstituted the common sense elements of a “free use” approach to modest docks and single-storey boathouses on public lands without the need for permits. (Search “dock permits” at the FOCA link, above, for the full story.)

This is one of many ways that FOCA works behind the scenes on our behalf. They continue to ensure our interests are heard by policymakers, help lake associations to effectively organize, and work tirelessly to protect waterfronts across Ontario. Together, we have a strong voice.

Over the past several years FOCA has developed publications and toolkits for the benefit of individual families and associations. Examples include:

Managing Your Waterfront Property in a Changing Climate

A Shoreline Owner’s Guide to Healthy Waterfronts

A Shoreline Owner’s Guide to Invasive Species

Lake Planning Handbook for Community Groups

The FOCA website has an astonishingly rich storehouse of information. Check it out for yourself at: https://foca.on.ca/ .

Did you know?

Every member of KLCOA is a member of FOCA! You can access FOCA member benefits and discounts, including: 30% off purchases made online at Coleman Canada (discount code required and available through the link below), a discount on Cottage Life Magazine subscriptions, one free admission to the Canoe Museum in Peterborough and exclusive access to Cottage First – the first group insurance program dedicated to cottagers.

WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT LIGHT POLLUTION ON OUR LAKE

(Submitted by Julie Bramm) There are ways of lighting your cottage that have less impact on our natural environment and increase our ability to

enjoy nature around us.

“It is often in the darkest skies that we see the brightest stars”-Richard Evans

Our lake community has been very enthusiastic in adapting stewardship programs to ensure the integrity of our shared natural environment. Many of us have planted native species around our cottage thus limiting the need for sod, or naturalized our shoreline to have minimal impact on the aquatic life within our lake.

The night sky as a natural resource also needs our consideration. It is estimated that half of all life on earth are active at night. Artificial light at night can affect behaviour and physiology of beloved species we find around our cottages, including hummingbirds, butterflies, songbirds, bats, owls, insects, frogs, toads, fish and even the not so beloved but necessary species like insects and mice. In fact, changes in behaviour in these species have been documented in predator-prey relationships, reproduction, foraging and communication because of artificial lights. Aquatic and shoreline communities are particularly susceptible to the impact of light pollution. Light shining into the water at night can affect our water quality. Research has shown that phytoplankton (phytoplankton is an integral link in every aquatic food chain) are less likely to rise to the surface and eat algae when shorelines are illuminated. This decrease in algae consumption lowers water quality and increases the risk of algae blooms in our lakes - a phenomena that is clearly not conducive to our summertime swimming in the lake!

As cottage owners, we have the unique opportunity of being able to step outside with family and explore the wonders of the stars, planets, meteor showers and the Aurora Borealis. But, our experience is lessened with bright lights illuminating from cottages and docks.

Outdoor lighting is important for security and safety, however, there are ways of lighting your cottage that have less impact on the natural environment and increase our ability to enjoy the nature around us.

When planning for outdoor lighting around your cottage

consider;

*LED lighting with colour temperature less than 3000K (kelvin). It is often calledSoft White. See example from Home Depot.

Page 13

*Install timers on your existing outdoor lights.

*Purchase outdoor lights with motion sensors.

*Purchase outdoor lighting that casts the light directly down.

www.darksky.org

*Avoid installing solar lights on docks

*Avoid installing “uplights” to illuminate trees or cottage features.

*Ask yourself, is this light doing anything constructive? Is the light worth the extra money in electricity? Do I need the light on all night or could motion sensors be used?

Light pollution lessens all of our ability to explore and experience the nocturnal species and the beauty of the night sky. Let’s rethink our night sky and look at it as you would a natural vista-with wonder and awe. Our night skies-Keep it dark!

Dysart Et Al Bylaw We love cottage life but we have many interpretations for this special time of the year. Tranquility for some, or party time for others?

KLCOA members expressed interest and Duncan Kent took the leadership, communication and liaison role to renew this member request. During December, January and February, Bell was able to seek questions or concerns from the public through a consultation process. Dysart passed a motion approving the lease of the land required for Bell Mobility’s proposed cell pole near the intersection of Watt’s Road and Little Kennisis Lake Road. The material reviewed by Council, including a summary of the public consultation process conducted by Bell, can be seen P-12 Proposed Telecommunication Tower – Bell . Many thanks to all who contributed to this process.

Points of Interest

Transport Canada will not require lighting for the mobility pole.

Bell Mobility plans to install the new wooden pole structure this summer.

The new cell pole is projected to significantly improve coverage in some areas around the lake but will not be able to eliminate all dead spots.

Rivers to Oceans Week...June 8th to 14th 2018

...a focus on reducing the plastic material in our environment

(Information from Canadian Wildlife Federation www.cwf.org)

Plastic has become such an ordinary material used in our country that it’s becoming harder and harder to avoid the substance. And yet, this material is piling up in our landfills and sometimes ends up in our rivers and oceans where it can cause major damage to the habitat and wildlife that live there.

Rivers to Oceans Week, celebrated from June 8 to 14, recognizes this connectedness and reminds us that taking care of our water is a shared responsibility. Join CWF in celebrating Rivers to Oceans Week and help us turn the tide on the threats to Canada’s waterways and the life they sustain.

Do you use plastic cutlery, plates and cups? ……………...(opt to use your metal cutlery or glass dishware)

Do you own Tupperware? …………………………………………….....(opt for metal or glass storage containers)

Do you use plastic bags at the grocery store? …………………...(opt for cloth or reusable tote bags)

Does your butcher use plastic cling wrap?..................... (opt to ask your butcher to use paper food wrap)

Do you drink from plastic bottled water?.............. (opt for reusable or refillable stainless steel bottles)

Do you use plastic cooking utensils?................................................ (opt for wooden or steel utensils)

Do you toss empty body wash containers in the garbage?. ..(opt to recycle plastic bathroom containers)

Do you use exfoliating facial or body scrub? ……….....(opt for a body brush made from natural materials)

Does your laundry detergent come is a plastic jugs?... (opt to buy your detergent in bulk to cut down on the plastic use)

Do you have a tube of handcream on the nights?…...(opt for coconut oil or jojoba oil in your nightstand to soothe your dry hands)

Do you use linen spray on your sheets? …...(Opt to use a few drops of lavender or sandlewood essential oils)

Do you have plastic patio furniture?..........................................(opt for bamboo or wood) Do you use plastic straws for drinking?.....................................(opt to use glassware or reusable drinking

Microbeads: Many personal care products contain microbeads - plastic particles that are so small they are

described in micrometres (that's a thousandth of a millimetre!). You'd be surprised at the sheer number of products

packed with microbeads - your body scrub, exfoliating cleanser, toothpaste and microdermabrasion kit might all be

culprits. These tiny plastic particles have the potential to cause damage to our watery ecosystems. They may not get

filtered out during sewage treatment and so they end up being released directly into our oceans, lakes and rivers.

Thankfully our federal government is acting fast. They're working to add microbeads to Canada's List of toxic

substances. (read more at http://www.cwf-fcf.org)

Snow Fleas..But Nonbiting! At the end of March, when we all thought that just maybe spring was around the corner, Graeme Woods shared this photo, asking for help with their identification. Responses told us that it was “snow flea larvae” .

Bugoftheweek.com explains that “after a late season snow there is the possibility of glimpsing snow fleas, sometimes known as springtails. They are tiny six-legged relatives of true insects. They belong to a part of the arthropod clan called Collembola. Most springtails are only 1or 2 mm long. They are among the most ancient of six-legged creatures having lived on our planet for roughly 400 million years! At certain times of the year they become very abundant on the ground or near water. Snow fleas multiply on the forest floor and move about despite chilly temperatures. Their ability to survive subfreezing temperatures is made possible by proteins in their tissues that prevent the formation of lethal ice crystals. They can reach amazing densities and their dark coloration makes them quite apparent on white objects such as patches of snow. Unlike true fleas, which are external parasites of other animals, snow fleas and other springtails eat tiny plants, decaying vegetation, bacteria, and fungi. You might even discover a Collembola happily living inside the water tank of a commode, contentedly grazing on biofilm inside the tank! .

The Forest Festival is again offering a playbill of

outstanding concerts within the wilderness beauty of Haliburton Forest and Wild Life Reserve. This season seven exciting performances will be offered by some of Canada’s premiere performers. These shows will be held in two non‐traditional venues; the stunning, lakeside amphitheatre that overlooks serene and Bone Lake with its floating stage and at the historic Logging Museum located at Base Camp

Susan Aglukark - Wednesday, Aug/15, 8.00 pm. Bone Lake Amphitheatre

Susan Aglukark has become a major recording star in Canada with her blend of country/pop songwriting and Inuit folk music traditions. With songs like the infectious "O Siem she and her band are certain to generate enormous excitement on our Bone Lake stage.

Susan has released seven albums and won three JUNOs, among other distinctions including an Order of Canada.

Twelve years ago, after our very first concert (!) we were treated to a magnificent display of Northern Lights over Bone Lake. We haven’t seen them since, but wouldn’t it be wonderful to have an encore for Susan Aglukark?

We think it’s an ideal way to open our Forest Festival season.

Sarah Harmer ‐ Thursday, Aug/16, 8.00 pm. Bone Lake Amphitheatre

Sarah Harmer’s many fans know she periodically takes time off from music to recharge and do other important stuff, such as working for the preservation of our wilderness. She finds the outdoors endlessly fascinating and believes spirituality is about being in service to other people and the natural world. As a friend said to her, “Nature and imagination are two of the world’s oldest friends. They do go hand in hand.” So where better to celebrate her first release in many years than on our pristine wilderness stage, under the stars? This will be a special night with Sarah Harmer, who has a new collection of songs from a new album.

Cowboy Junkies ‐ Friday, Aug/17, 8.00 pm. The Logging Museum

Cowboy Junkies was formed in Toronto in 1985 by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family (descendants of a mining prospector who founded the Ontario city of Timmins) and bassist Alan Anton. They were nominated for Group of the Year at the JUNO Awards in 1990 and 1991.

The band’s early reputation owed much to their recording in an intimate, acoustically superb setting. We believe our Historic Logging Museum comes pretty close to that, and we’re expecting them to feel comfortable and right at home.

After 22 albums and over 4 million albums sold the

group continues to tour across the world. In 2008 they

released Trinity Revisited in celebration of the 20th

anniversary of the original, legendary recording of The

Trinity Session from Toronto’s Church of the Holy

Trinity. Cowboy Junkies have been recording again

and are anxious to share their new material. We’re

anxious to hear it and also wondering: will they want

to record their next album in our Logging Museum?

The Forest Festival is Back with a Great Lineup for 2018

Rob Lutes – Saturday, Aug/18, 2.00 pm. The Logging Museum

We’ve had wonderful luck with blues artists from Montreal, and our lucky streak continues with Rob Lutes. We heard him perform in Toronto and immediately extended an invitation. What people are hearing is an engaging solo artist creating an accessible, interesting and moving atmosphere with just his voice, strong songs and superb guitar playing. We actually think of him as a folk/roots performer, but with blues as the underpinning Rob makes friends wherever he goes, and he seems to tour constantly. His reputation got a well‐deserved boost

this year with Maple Blues Awards nominations in two categories, Acoustic Act and Songwriter of the

Year.

For folk roots with a solid blues foundation, we don’t think it can get much better than Rob Lutes!

Sultans of String ‐ Saturday, Aug/18, 8:00 pm. The Logging Museum

The Sultans of String’s’ stunning 2011 show was one

of the most popular we have presented, so a return

was always in the cards. We’re delighted to have

them back. The five members of this 3‐time JUNO

nominee and Billboard‐charting band will

again thrill us with their genre‐hopping passport of

Celtic reels, flamenco, gypsy‐jazz, Arabic, Cuban

and South Asian rhythms. Rebecca Campbell is a

frequent guest of the band and makes a welcome

return to the festival with her wonderful singing.

The Sultans have produced a stunning series of

albums and collaborations, celebrating musical

fusion and creativity with warmth and virtuosity.

Fiery violin dances with rumba‐flamenco guitar,

while bass and percussion lay down unstoppable

grooves. Acoustic strings meet with electronic

wizardry to create layers and depth of sound, while

world rhythms excite audiences to their feet with

the irresistible need to dance. It’s hard to take it all

in, and it can make a complete show seem to pass

in the blink of an eye.

BMC Organ Trio w/ guest Ian Hendrickson‐Smith ‐

Sunday, Aug/19, 2:00 pm. The Logging Museum.

Fancy an afternoon of the hottest imaginable soul/

jazz organ, garnished with an insanely talented

guest saxophone star? We’ve got it.

BMC is Ben Bishop (guitar), Jeff McLeod (organ) and

Morgan Childs (drums), and they’re delighted to be

joined by Ian Hendrickson‐Smith of The Roots

(house band of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy

Fallon). Ian has ten CDs as leader to his credit and

has worked and/or recorded with Mark Ronson, Al

Green, Lady Gaga, Robbie Williams, Ed Sheeran,

Page 25

Amy Winehouse, Bob Dylan, Phish, Michael Buble, Boyz 2 Men, and David Sanborn.

As a pop/rock musician Jeff McLeod has played major

US festivals with Serena Ryder but he is a true master

of the Hammond B3 organ, an instrument capable of

astounding sonic adventures. It can howl, it can cry, it

can soothe and comfort.

Ben’s inventive playing and gorgeous tone are inspired by supreme guitar greats such as Kenny Burrell, Barney Kessell and Wes Montgomery.

Morgan’s inventive musicality and deep swing make him a favourite of Robi Botos, Don Thompson, Phil

Dwyer and many others.

Leahy - Sunday, Aug/19, 8.00 pm. Bone Lake Amphitheatre

Leahy has secured a place as one of the country’s most highly regarded progressive folk-roots bands.

The “Leahy sound” – a combination of strong stride piano, unique bass guitar and drumming styles along with driving rhythm guitar – was the foundation from which wildly talented fiddle-led instrumentals and vocals were launched to mainstream music listeners. Leahy would go on to win three Juno awards and receive countless accolades for their dynamic and powerful performances. Leahy has sold more than half a million albums, been featured in three television specials, and has been the subject of an Academy Award-winning documentary.

They’ve been back in the studio recording new music. Built on their roots and the distinctive “Leahy sound”, it reveals the band’s drive to continue pushing beyond its traditional footings, delivering solid music, pulse-raising rhythms, compelling storytelling and infectious melodies.

Leahy’s show on our Bone Lake stage will be full of energy, big rich sound, poignant songs, fiery instrumentals and percussive step dancing.

Unforgettable.

Haliburton Highlands Land Trust presents: Exploring the Lives of Bats

Saturday May 26 7:00pm to 9:00pm

Minden Cultural Centre (behind the Minden Library), 176 Bobcaygeon Rd, Minden

Do you or your children have questions about bats? Come and join the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust on Saturday, May 26 (7:00 pm to 9 pm) at the Minden Cultural Center for a fun and informative presentation on bats, “Exploring the Lives of Bats”. These incredible animals are one of Ontario's largest consumers of insects and play a vital role in our ecosystem. Unfortunately bats also face many threats including loss of habitat and a fungal infection that has led to half of our species being listed as endangered.

Our presenter, Brock Fenton, Emeritus Professor of Biology, has been studying bats since he received his Ph.D. in 1969 for work in the ecology and behaviour of bats. He has continued his research with special emphasis on bat echolocation and evolution.

Bring your curiosity and your questions about bats to this presentation. Admission by donation.

Responsible Renting By Janice Bishop, owner of All-Season Cottage Rentals Inc

Having a rental property in your neighbourhood has transitioned from a rare occurrence to common practice. As the popularity of cottage rentals increase, so do the problems associated with rentals.

I have been a cottage rental agent for twenty years. Experience has taught some important lessons that I’m going to share with you.

Problems can be avoided if a rental is managed properly. Cottage rental agencies administer detailed legal contracts to protect your property and to outline your expectations from renters. Rental agencies also screen carefully to avoid troublesome groups.

However, if you plan to rent using an advertising service such as Airbnb or Homeaway, be aware that these are advertising services and not management companies. You will have to manage your renters and rental contracts on your own. I can’t stress this enough. These are advertising services and DO NOT administer rental agreements nor assist you if there is a problem.

It’s important to understand that renters are extremely anxious to please the owner of the cottage they have rented. However, they are often inexperienced at cottaging and need direction. This is where the rental agreement comes in. It will itemize all of your expectations and consequences for not meeting your expectations. It gives a cottage owner and their neighbours recourse if a rental group misbehaves.

Here are some areas where renters need direction:

Occupancy limits – limit the number of people using your cottage based on the capacity of your septic. Pollutants can leech into the lake when a septic is over-used. It is your responsibility to make sure this doesn’t happen.

Define your boundaries – let renters know where your property lines are so they don’t trespass on your neighbours

Noise restrictions – city folk don’t always understand how noise travels in cottage country. It’s a good idea to ask renters to put out the campfire and move indoors at 11 PM

Fire Guidelines – provide campfire guidelines including instructions on dousing the fire at night and phone numbers for the MNR so they can check on fire bans

Garbage – renters are accustomed to garbage pick-up. They need to be educated on how we deal with garbage in cottage country. Don’t forget to tell them what to do with garbage between trips to the dump.

Fireworks – I recommend that you totally ban the use of fireworks at your cottage.

Emergency Services – leave your 911 address and emergency phone numbers near the telephone

This poster was posted by Sue Bin on our Kennisis Lake Facebook. www.thespruce.com also agrees with this advice and suggests:

“The best foods for ducks are those that provide the nutrients, minerals and vitamins the birds need for healthy growth and development. Many of these foods are similar to the natural insects, mollusks, seeds, grains and plants the birds will forage for on their own. As omnivorous birds, ducks will eat many different foods, and the best foods to offer ducks include:

Cracked corn, wheat, barley or similar grains

Oats (uncooked; rolled or quick), rice (cooked or uncooked)

Milo seed, birdseed (any type or mix)

Grapes (cut in half or quartered if very large)

Nut hearts or pieces (any type but without salt, coatings or flavoring)

Frozen peas or corn (defrosted, no need to cook)

Earthworms (fishing bait or dug from the garden)

Mealworms (fresh or dried)

Chopped lettuce or other greens or salad mixes

Vegetable trimmings or peels (chopped into small pieces)

Duck feed pellets or poultry starter pellets are another great option, and they can be purchased from farming or agricultural supply stores.”
