Love was in the air this week at Trent Lakes Public Library… the love of books! During Story Time the children listened to Paw Patrol’s Best Furry Friends as well as Thomas and Friends: I love Engines. After the story the children made Valentines and enjoyed special treats. Pictured above is Kacey Gillespie enjoying her heart-shaped cookie. Story Time is held every Wednesday morning at 11:00 at the Buckhorn branch of Trent Lakes Public Library.

This deer has visited Lew’s backyard feeder near Burleigh Falls  three  times in the past week.  The colouring is very different from what is normal on a whitetail deer and there is far more white and the brown is much darker.  Lew tells us these deer are known as Piebald Deer and are evidently quite rare.

Thick smoke billowed from the fire at the building that housed Gerry’s Bait and Tackle and an art shop located beside Kawartha Lakes Construction late Thursday afternoon.   Selwyn firefighters battled the blaze in frigid temperatures and the OPP were on the scene to reroute traffic. Vehicles were unable to access the portion of County Rd 29 from Fraser Street to Seaforth Crescent.   No one was injured in the fire, but the building was destroyed.
