Letters PHOTO OF THE WEEK This lakefront owner loves rental visitors Dear editor, After reading with interest several comments in this paper about short- term rentals, I would like to express my perspective. We live on a popular lake in the area. We live here year-round and don’t rent our home out. But we have several neighbours who do rent and have done so for many years. And we love having the renters here. Only renters seem to enjoy every moment of every day, despite the weather. They swim on cool, grey days. Their infectious giggles can be heard from the docks even in the rain. Kids playing, parents interacting. It’s heartwarming. Often, we will see renters in canoes or kayaks paddling to pull lifejacketed kiddos in a tube or a floatie. Most renters don’t have motor boats, they are so expensive to rent, but they make the most of each and every day. We have witnessed very, very little poor behaviour, certainly no more than can be seen with owners. They seem to feel lucky to be here in our beautiful county and we are happy to welcome them.

Editor’s note: We have asked all candidates in the upcoming municipal elections the following three questions. This week, we are focusing on Algonquin Highlands.

1) Tell me a little bit about yourself - particularly what would make you a good candidate - ie. previous work experience, or volunteering for the township are good points. 2) Why are you running? What do you think you can do for the ratepayers of Highlands East that your competitors cannot? Q 3) How do you think the township is being run. What would be your good, bad and ugly list? 1.

By Lisa Gervais Every fall, Haliburton County residents pick and donate apples, and then gather to brew up a batch of apple sauce. The call to ensure access for all to fresh, local and nutritious food has gone out once again this autumn. Starting next week, organizers are looking for pickers, donators and cooks. “The Community Apple Sauce Project is a great way to ensure everyone in our community is able to eat fresh local food,” said the health unit’s Rosie Kadwell, who came up with the idea five years ago. “Our county has many seniors and families that cannot afford to buy fresh produce. Having people volunteer to donate local apples or pick apples keeps the Apple Sauce Project costs down, and allows more people to enjoy the taste of fresh fruit,” she added. Kadwell said the best way people can support the project is to donate local apples from their trees, or call Nancy Brownsberger at 705-457-2941 ext. 2926 to help pick apples during the week of Sept. 17. Apples can then be dropped off on Sept. 18 and 19 to SIRCH Central, at 2 Victoria St. in Haliburton Village. It’s next to the laundromat. Drop-off times are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. From there, volunteers will process the apples into apple sauce on Tuesday, Sept. 25 and Wednesday, Sept. 26 at the SIRCH Community Kitchen in Haliburton. The contact is Jay McIvor at SIRCH Central 705-457-1742 The apple sauce is then distributed with Meals on Wheels, SIRCH Frozen Meals and through local food banks. The Apple Sauce Project is a partnership with: Haliburton County FoodNet, SIRCH, HHHS Community Support Services Division, Minden Community Food Centre, Highlands East Community Cooks, HKPR District Health Unit, Municipality of Dysart et. al., The Municipality of Highlands East, Entrée Plus, Haliburton County Echo and the public who takes part. The project is into its fifth year. Kate Hall of the health unit picks apples. File photo.
