President’s Message
Spring 2015
Welcome back to the lake and hopefully a beautiful summer
of 2015. While last summer couldn’t be called a banner year
weather-wise, your LKO board and volunteers were very busy
with projects that will carry forward into this summer.
Our AGM this year will be on Saturday June 20th at the Curling
Club in Haliburton Village. We will be using the same format
as last year, starting with registration and a coffee social at
9:00AM and the business meeting starting at 10:00AM. We
should be finished by noon. Our guest speaker this year will
be Monika Melichar of the Woodlands Wildlife Sanctuary. I am
told that her presentation is not to be missed so please plan
on attending. Our municipal reeves will be in attendance as
well to update us on local issues and answer questions from
the floor.
On July 11th we will be having our annual regatta (family fun
day), graciously hosted again this year by Halimar Resort. It
will be a BYO everything event again this year (kids, paddles,
lifejackets, lunch and refreshments) The LKO executive will
have a supply of pop and water for sale at a nominal fee if
you need it. Please see the family fun day announcement on
page 17 and answer the call for help if you can.
I am told that the results from the shoreline evaluation
project that we participated in last summer are on track to
be released later this spring or early summer. Please keep
checking our website and monthly e-newsletter for the most
up to date information on how you will be able to obtain your
results.
As a result of the participation of the Coalition of Haliburton
Property Owners’ Associations (CHA) in the above project,
they have, in partnership with the Department of Fisheries
and Oceans Canada, obtained funding to naturalize five
private properties - one property for each of their member
associations that participated in the project last summer. We
sent out an e-blast in late February asking for applications
from our members. We received four applications that
were considered at our last board meeting. I am pleased
to announce that the board has selected Tim and Lisa
Romberger of Strawberry Drive to be the demonstration site
on our lake. Stay tuned to www.lko.ca for updates on this
valuable project.
this dialogue continues and fully support the CHA’s bid to
create an ecofriendly contractor list.
Your LKO board is planning on hosting a septic inspection
demonstration day this summer. One of our board members
has volunteered his system and as the date approaches we
will advise the date and location via an e-blast and a notice
on our website.
We will have the speed signs up again this summer and have
obtained loon information signs that have been posted at
the boat launch ramps. As always, please respect the intent
of these signs.
We continue to have many people to thank for their
contributions to the LKO. Our webmaster, Hugh Switzer,
continues to enlighten us with his monthly e-newsletters.
Thank you Hugh. Also a big thank you to Kirsten Sixt and her
committee for once again running the Family Fun Day. This
year, board member Stephanie Wade became the newsletter
editor. Thank you Steph. Finally we would like to thank our
sponsors, advertisers and you, our members, for supporting
the work of the LKO.
Enjoy your summer and we look forward to seeing you at the
AGM and the regatta.

Boat Wakes Damage Shorelines
Lake Kashagawigamog is a fragile environment. Fish, wildlife
habitat, shorelines and shoreline structures are vulnerable to
damage from boat wakes.
Several cottagers have complained about the effects that
big wakes (particularly from the ballast filled wakeboats)
are having on their docks, their shoreline, and their
enjoyment of life at the lake.
In 2013, the LKO posted two NO WAKE Zones on the lake
– one at each end of Marcus Beach and one at each end of
Birch Narrows. Cottagers have noticed that boats are slowing
down in these areas. We need to pay attention now to the
rest of the lake!
You are Responsible
The Small Vessel Regulations state the “no person shall
operate a small vessel in a careless manner, without due care
and attention or without reasonable consideration for other
persons.” The fine for operating a vessel in a manner that
endangers the safety of persons or property and for failure to
control wake resulting in danger to the safety of persons or
property is $200.00.
What’s the Big Deal?
Wake striking our shorelines can cause rapid and severe
erosion, exposing the roots of vegetation and causing the
banks to collapse.
Wake impact and prop wash can churn up sediments,
degrading the aquatic environment for plants, animals and
cottagers.
Wakes can rock, swamp or capsize other boats. Passengers
can be thrown off balance or overboard when another boat
passes too fast and too close.
Membership Report
As of April 15, we have approximately 200 paid members in
the LKO. We thank you for your continued support.
Membership Stickers
Membership stickers are green this year. We encourage you
to post the sticker on the post of your 911 sign or any other
visible spot. Extras are available through Wendy Yeates:

Wakes can damage boats secured to docks. A large wake
taken broadside causes a boat to rock severely, no matter
how tightly it is tied to the dock. A large wake taken on the
stern or bow can pull mooring hardware from the boat, the
dock, or both!
Wakes build on each other in areas of heavy boating traffic
increasing the impact on shorelines.
Tips to reduce your wake
• Choose your boat carefully. Don’t opt for a ballast boat for
our small lakes. If you have one – leave the ballast empty.
• Within 30 metres of shore and in narrow channels, reduce
speed to LEAVE NO WAKE.
• Travel 30 metres from your dock to deeper water before
accelerating to a higher speed. It’s the law!
• In the open lake far from shore, cruise at a speed that
minimizes wake.
• Coming off the plane, pass through the transition phase
smoothly and safely, getting the boat level in displacement
speed without delay.
• Operate your boat as far away as possible from shore,
docks and other boats.
• Position your passengers throughout the boat, not only
at the stern, in order to reduce the time spent while in
transition speed.
• When passing another boat or shore structure, stay as far
away as possible, as your wake may cause the operator to
lose control or may cause damage to a dock or boathouse.
• When in shallow water, avoid churning up the bottom
sediment.
• Look behind you to see and understand the impact of
your wake. Adjust your speed to minimize impact.
• Watch Your Wake
• Think and act responsibly!
Cottagers driving boats with ballasts and other wake
enhancing technology are reminded to consider those on the
shore and should consider not filling ballast or doing other
things to amplify wake during seasonally high water levels
when our shorelines and habitat are most susceptible to this
type of behaviour.

(705) 935-0166
My name is Jenifer Scarrow
and I own the store
Butternut Mercantile &
Coffee Parlour at the south
end of Kashagawigamog
Lake. I sell antiques,
vintage goods, giftware,
candles, country home
décor, shabby chic style
furniture and many other things for the home, cottage, and
garden. At the coffee counter I have a variety of specialty hot
drinks (apparently the best chai latte this side of Starbucks!)
and cold drinks from The Pop Shoppe and Stewart’s. A variety
of buttertarts is also available to go with your drink. Out in
the blue building is Ice Cream Landing, where you can enjoy a
Kawartha Dairy ice cream cone. (summer only)
I have done some delving into the history of this building
and it’s past owners and shop keepers and found some pretty
interesting info.
As you may already know, my mother and her husband Guido
(Catenazzi) had the restaurant Kash Landing Café here for
about 17 years. They were the ones that put in the ice cream
shop, and were famous for their “Pumpkin Crumble” .
So let’s go all the way back to the beginning, the first store
at this location would have been in 1928 and owned by the
Baker’s, who came over on the Mayflower. There were two
stores in Ingoldsby and they both seemed to thrive just fine
in this small community, that had 15 farms, a cheese factory,
church and small school. I believe the church and school were
one in the same.
Edna Baker later married Ed Fielding and they had the store
until 1953 when Mima (Fielding) and Art Burwood took over.
I’ve had many customers talk about Mima and the “ice cream
on a stick” and penny candy that was purchased at the store.
In 1967 the store was sold to Frank Dunsford and many

I couldn’t get a solid date on when the Dunsford’s sold to Betty
and Bruce O’Brien but I do believe it was in 1975, and the
store’s name was Oby’s. (I have an ode to them on the mural
on the outside wall) The info on who bought the place from
the O’Brien’s is a little unclear, but I do believe these owners
were the last store owners before my mom and Guido bought
it in 1997, and turned it into a restaurant.

Studio Tour
October 3 & 4 and 10 & 11, 2015
Experience art on the Haliburton
County studio tour! Every year,
just as the autumn leaves are
delighting us at every turn,
the artists of the Haliburton
County Studio Tour open their
studios and welcome you to
come and experience firsthand
the creative process. For 28 years
artists throughout the Highlands
have been welcoming friends old and
new into their studios. We welcome the chance to discuss
and demonstrate our work with you. At every stop, you will
discover a large selection of original, one-of-a-kind works;
some familiar, some new. You will have opportunity to see
works in progress, and discuss technique and inspiration with
the artists in the studios where they work. Many studios have
active demonstrations throughout the 2 weekends, giving
you unique insights into the creative process.
This year you will find 37 artists working in wide variety of
mediums, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Metal is hammered, twisted and cast into sculpture and
jewellery. Clay is formed, decorated, and fired into tableware,
landscapes and wearable art. Wood is turned, planed and
fitted to create fine furniture and detailed illustrations. Paint
is brushed, spread, and splattered to evoke landscape and
memory. Fibre is spun, woven, and sewn into garments as well
as landscape. Glass is cut, fused, and blown to create pictures,
tableware and accessories.
The Studio Tour is a tour of discovery on many different levels.
As you follow the signs from studio to studio you will discover
the beauty of the Highlands in the fall: winding backroads,
colourful leaves, tranquil lakes, and hidden waterfalls.
Breweries, restaurants, and cafes invite you to take a break and
sample local cuisine. Lodges and Bed-and-Breakfasts entice
you to stay and enjoy the warm hospitality of the Haliburton
Highlands.
Please join us this year on the weekends of Oct 3,4 and
10,11. For detailed information about the tour and the
artists, visit www.haliburtonstudiotour.on.ca Brochures
with detailed maps can be found throughout the county,

Loon Count Survey
As I reported in the last Newsletter we
have decided to participate in the 2015
Bird Studies Canada, loon survey. Four of
us, Glenda Bryson, Bruce Doidge, Cathy
Newman and I have volunteered. We
hope to determine the health and size
of our loon population, with a view to
seeing if there is anything we can do to
support this iconic bird.
As I understand it, volunteers will
attempt to count the loons and see
where they nest and how big their
territories are. I think that we will survey
the loons three times, in June, July and
August. I have not yet received any
information from Bird Studies Canada,
so I don’t have much information to
pass on.
If anyone would like to volunteer to
help with the survey, please contact

Helping Hands
Reliable Help For You & Benefits to Our Community
George and Audrey were so excited! George was retiring and finally they could
move full time to their cottage in Highlands. There was a lot of work that needed
to turn their vacation spot into a year ‘round home, and both were eager to get
started.
They were happily moved and full into renovations when disaster struck. George
fell, seriously hurting his back. With help from a neighbor Audrey got George
home from hospital but it was clear that he would not be doing anything strenuous
for a few months. George gritted his teeth as he thought about all the work to
be done: insulation added, the floors redone, windows replaced, not to mention
the outside work! Of immediate concern was how to get the couch and sofa bed
from the garage to the house by the time their daughter came on Saturday with
Andrea, their 3 year old grandchild! Heads were spinning. They had no idea who to call, but then chance intervened.
That afternoon, Audrey was walking their dog, Bailey, past a house and it was sporting a lovely new porch. A woman was outside
and a conversation ensued. Audrey asked who had built that lovely porch. “Oh, I hired Need a Hand,” the woman replied, “They
did an amazing job and to my delight they had great rates! And I was really pleased that Need a Hand is a social enterprise of
SIRCH Community Services, so my money also goes to support other programs needed in the community.”
George called that same afternoon and two workers from the SIRCH Need a Hand program came the next day to move the
furniture. They also helped tidy up outside so it would be safe for their granddaughter. Over the next few months, Need a Hand
workers helped put their docks in and finished the renovations. Audrey supervised clearing out the garage, and was delighted
when they took a load of items to the Thrift Warehouse (keeping them out of the landfill). “I call them for all sorts of things,”
George confided to his neighbour, “They cleaned out my eaves last week and cut some trees. We always get quality work done
by friendly people at a reasonable cost. I’ve booked them to come and check on our house when we’re away next winter –
having Need a Hand available has given us peace of mind.”
George’s back improved and then, after a few months, he was back in fighting form once again, As time went by, George and
Audrey found that having Need a Hand took the load off of the “job jar” and left them more time to do the things they love to
do. Today they are enjoying retirement to the fullest, and as
George likes to say “when I need a hand, they’re as close as
my phone.”

What’s With All The Mice?!?!
It’s not just you. There are mice everywhere and many of us have been overrun by them!
The main culprit is the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus)
and the reason for their exploding population began in the
fall of 2013, when we experienced an abundance of mast
that mice like to consume - namely beech nuts, acorns and
maple keys. These items fell to the ground and were then
quickly covered with a thick layer of snow, which left the soil
underneath unfrozen. This subnivean habitat (beneath the
snow) offered the mice protection from predators all winter,
where they had very little competition for all that mast.
size of a pencil eraser. Now we’re not about to expect your
cottage lawn to be kept perfectly manicured, but keeping
everything trimmed within about 20 feet of the house will
make a big difference. That 20 feet may not seem like much
to you, but to a mouse, that’s a football field where there are
linebackers in the form of owls, hawks, weasels, foxes, etc just
waiting for the tackle.
Female mice are capable of reproduction at 5-7 weeks old
and can have up to 11 litters in one year! That’s an average of
44 babies a year in favourable conditions! We did see a higher
number of foxes and other predators in 2014, but they just
couldn’t keep up with the mice.
Mouse presence can be decreased through cultural
controls, which reduce pest numbers through inhibiting
their establishment, reproduction or survival; often utilizing
little to no chemical. The most common cultural control
we suggest is managing vegetation. We get it, you’re at the
cottage and the last thing you want to do is cut the grass...
if grass will even grow where you are, so you have this lovely
ground cover that requires no maintenance. How perfect!!
Unfortunately, the mice are thinking the same thing. The
plants provide a protective cover so mice can waltz right up
to the cottage, where they can squeeze in through a hole the

Keeping our Pets
Safe at the Cottage
It’s been a long winter but now it’s finally come time to open up the cottage! As exciting as it is to come back up north
and get outside, there are a few extra hazards in this area that are important to consider.
Here are some of the hazards and ways to avoid them.
Household hazards: We often put out mouse
bait or traps and antifreeze in our toilets and drains prior
to closing up the cottage. Some of the newer generations
of bait are very poisonous to our pets. For some dogs
and cats, after a long car-ride up north, a drink from the
toilet is the first on the list of things to do. Antifreeze is
sweet tasting and can cause kidney failure in a dog or cat
within hours.
PREVENTION KEY: Take a walk-through the cottage and
garages to clear out any potential toxins or hazards for your
pet before letting them come and do their own inspection.
Skunks and Porcupines: These creatures
enjoying the warmer weather and longer daylight are most
often found in the bushes early in the morning and later at
night. Dogs for some reason can’t resist these potentially
dangerous critters. A summer of skunk smell or a face-full
of porcupine quills can ruin anyone’s vacation plans!
PREVENTION KEY: Keep dogs on a leash at dusk and
dawn. For porcupine quills, it is best to have these pulled
by a vet under sedation so that a thorough examination
can be performed, including the top of the mouth and
back of the throat. Get quills professionally pulled as soon
as possible!
Other Wildlife: One of the things we love about
cottage country is all the wildlife right in our backyard!
However, there can be issues when our dogs and wildlife
come in contact. Sometimes the wildlife can carry diseases
such as Distemper, Rabies and Leptospirsosis. Even indoor
cats can be at risk if a bat flies into the house.
PREVENTION KEY: Ensure your pets are properly
vaccinated for the added risk factors of living in the country.
Ticks: In the county we are more likely to be hiking through
brush and long grass, which is exactly the type of environment
these eight-legged spider-like monsters like to live in. Once
they bite, they can transmit diseases to both you and your pets,
most notably Lyme disease. Good to note, disease transmission
for most things takes greater than 12 hours.
PREVENTION KEY: There are products, namely K9
Advantix from Bayer, that are excellent products for killing
ticks. Good tick prevention is important. As well, it is a
very good practice to thoroughly examine your pets daily
and remove any ticks immediately since the chances are
good they haven’t yet transmitted disease. It’s also a good
practice to check yourself.
Blue Green Algae: If the water appears to have
a gray or green tinge or has sludge on it, there is a chance
this could be Blue Green Algae. This type of algae can
produce a deadly toxin with very low survival rates.
PREVENTION KEY: Better safe than sorry - If there is any
concern, do not let your pet drink or swim in this water
Report blue green algae outbreaks by calling 416-325-3000
or 1-800-268-6060 & let your lake association know so
that they can let everyone on the lake know not to swim in
or use the lake water.
Fishing hooks: Every year our man’s best friend gets
stuck hooked on these rather than the scaly amphibians we are
aiming for. The smell of fish is very attractive to the dogs and
before you know it there’s a hook sticking through the mouth.
PREVENTION KEY: Place all rods and hooks well out of
reach from the inquiring tongues of dogs. If your dog does
get hooked, call the vet immediately and get it dealt with.
Be prepared that most dogs will need to be sedated to
remove the hook safely.
