Back to School?
Submission by Marina Hodson
While this is not the first September when I have looked at what back to school may mean to you, this year is unlike any other – if only I could get a dime for every time I have said that phrase since March, I could be rich. It seems unbelievable to think that part of our children’s’ supply list should contain hand sanitizer and face masks, and yet, here we are. So while times are new to all of us, there are some basic guidelines to protect your children and family and hopefully help you make the school year as stress-free as possible, given the circumstances.

Note about Stone Piling
Submitted by Shirley McCormick
I love your e-news about Fenelon Falls; however, I thought it important to send an environmental note about people in Ontario making inukshuks / stone piles using stones nearby, whether especially in water but also on land. You posted a photo of one in the July 30th edition (#222) and I fear it will inspire others to do it, and also lend credibility to it as an ideal pastime. The intent is enjoyment and creativity, but unfortunately, it has environmental repercussions that can be quite damaging to wildlife.

What time is it?
Submitted by Marina Hodson
I have long ago stopped being able to tell you what day it is without seriously thinking, let alone what time. Apparently, I’m not the only one. Aristotle said that “time is the measure of change” and as one day melds into the next, nothing seems to change. Anthropologist Felix Ringel studies how humans relate to time, particularly during crises and COVID has apparently impacted more than just our daily interactions with each other; it has also changed how we perceive time. This is caused, at least in part, by our feeling of being stuck without being able to plan for the future. As humans, we have an innate need to know what comes next, and without this we feel out of control, but also lose our connection to time.
#HeartForFenelon 2.0
It’s been a few months since we launched the #Heart For Fenelon campaign and the stories of kindness continue to pour in. Sometimes it’s just a small act and other times it’s a large show of support when our neighbours need to know that we have their back. Collectively every act counts and makes Fenelon Falls a place that we are proud to call our home or the place where we like to get away from it all.

Summer Fun In The Sun
Submitted by Marina Hodson
As we continue to re-open for summer activities and recognizing the great weather we have been having, it seemed appropriate to put out a quick reminder about some of the precautions we should all remember. After all, summer is a fun time that can be packed with activities but it is also a time to be wary of long-lasting health impacts, so before you head for the beach, the park or even the back-yard, Health Canada recommends you take a few minutes to learn about sun safety.
