Canadians see climate change and our environment as top-of-mind issues. Many wonder what they can to help. Well, one answer is literally in your hands, in your own back yard. Go electric when it comes to lawn equipment. It’s that simple. The best place to start is your trusty lawn mower. Many believe the battery operated mowers just don’t cut it, so to speak, but they obviously haven’t found the right model. The DEWALT Max Brushless Cordless self-propelled mower is like a godsend. With 2 x 20 volt batteries of power and a 21.5-inch cutting radius, this is one tough powerhouse. Designed to quickly cut large yards, this rear-wheel-drive, self-propelled mower delivers both power and ease – the two greatest words ever spoken. Auto-sensing technology helps you maintain high rpm and continuous speed while working for steady cutting, even when mowing dense, thick grass. That’s something gas mowers just can’t match. Mulch, bag, or use the side discharge. It also stores conveniently with the fold-over handle. It’s like driving an EV, chuck full of auto-sensing technology and convenience. The best feature is raising and lowering the wheels with a single lever. A dream come true, kudos to whoever came up with that one. The discharge options are perfect, too, meeting all your needs. Experts do say to leave cuttings on the lawn for needed nutrients. This new model replaces my decade-old Craftsman 6.2 HP mower, which has been a tough-as- nails workhorse. Truth is, I don’t need all those ponies for my back yard. Plus, I’ve been wanting to “go green” for a while and the time is right. Boy am I glad I did. The DEWALT eats grass and sounds just like a powerful gas mower, only smoother, effortless. It’s light and easy to push with out the assisted drive. The ergonomic handles resemble those of a racing bike and ease wrist strain. Everything is perfectly designed and nothing is awkward or out of pace. Whoever designed this is a genius. After my initial use I wanted to get out the bucket, sponge and car wax – it’s that beautiful! It’s out of the box and running in 20 minutes. My batteries came partially charged, so I was off in a flash. It crushes the job and eats its way through the thickest growth. Plenty of juice in the “tank” for at least an hour’s worth of cutting. The mower has a range of cutting from 1-1/2 to 4 inches. The continuous speed rear wheel drive does come in handy for larger lawns, especially during the summer heat. Men love their tools for their power, and their aesthetics. The DEWALT colour scheme reminds me of 1970s muscle cars – a sleek, sleeping powerhouse. It’s backed by a great warranty, one year free service and 3-year limited warranty. You also get a 90-day satisfaction guarantee! This model also came with two separate chargers for the batteries – two! With DEWALT you can rely on its quality and reputation for years to come. No more visits to the gas station; no more priming and pulling. And no more emissions! In 1992, DEWALT introduced its first line of portable electric power tools and accessories designed specifically for contractors and professional tradespeople. The company, and its stellar reputation, continued to expand and grow. They marked their 100th anniversary in 2018. They marked so many milestones and product innovations, it’s impossible to keep track.From technology used in space exploration and aircrafts to incorporating Bluetooth® technology into our products DEWALT stays at the forefront of jobsite innovation. It’s famous yellow and black colour scheme is its calling card, found on countless job sites. That’s where DEWALT is tested and proven every day. The entire DEWALT line thrives on the jobsite because that’s where product ideas come from. To carry the DEWALT name, a tool must not only stand up to the rigors of the jobsite, it must get the job done. And it must do it day after day. The company never backs down from a challenge and continues to deliver. The company delivered Dual-voltage FLEXVOLT batteries to the world of power tools. Automatic voltage-switching technology gives users a single-battery system to power a variety of tools. The result is “mind-blowing” cordless power and unrivaled runtime. With no expensive gas to buy, no oil and no spark plugs, what more can you ask for. Going green never made more sense. What’s stopping you? Visit dewalt.ca or any retailer to see their line of lawn equipment. No need to kick any tires!

Electric vehicles, from standup scooters to elaborate e-bikes, are now common across the landscape. They’re here to say, and they’re definitely helping residents and communities achieve their zero emission goals. Ebikes are definitely popular in Ontario, and it would be hard to not see one walking in a downtown area such as someone on a stand-up scooter, or a delivery driver using an ebike.
An Austrian exhibit by a King artist aims to showcase Canada and further strengthen international relations. Ernestine Tahedl is marking the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between her home country of Austria and her new home of Canada.

The cost of gas at the pumps, combined with concerns over climate change, have led to an explosion in the e-bike industry. Whether used for running errands, commuting or on trails, modern e-bikes have morphed to cater to every need. And consumers are embracing it.
It’s a great time to live and work in King Township. That was the message delivered by Mayor Steve Pellegrini at last week’s Mayor’s Lunch, sponsored by the King Chamber of Commerce. The Township’s steady progress and pep talk by the mayor put a little spring in the step of a packed house of Chamber members.
King is on target with most of its goals, despite hurdles over the past year. Staff provided councillors with an overview of the Corporate Strategic Plan (CSP), now in its third year. Despite pandemic restrictions stretching through 2021, some 98% of the plans’ key actions are completed or progressing as planned. And another 30 of 37 of community benefits are heading in the right direction.
Are we all alone in this, or are we part of something bigger, more complex and well, just more? There’s been a lot of debate on just who to rely on to help pull us out of our self-made holes.
I’m tired. Not in a sleepy, sloth-in-a-tree kind of way. Not a sunbathing turtle type of sleepy. I’m tired in a life kind of way.
With all the troubles in our world, the “silly season” – election time in Ontario – has brought out some silly suggestions. The Ontario Liberals have pledged to ban the sale, possession, transport and storage of handguns if elected. Their plan will also accept the federal government’s offer to fund a buy-back program; partner with the federal government to stop gun smuggling at the Ontario-U.S. borders, and advocate to extend the ban nationally so that guns can’t be funneled through inter-provincial borders. Once again, our politicians are firing blanks to speak.
We humans come from a long line of storytellers. It’s in our blood. “A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than 10 years mere study of books,” said Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Just how did our wonderful lives become one massive to-do list? Most of us working stiffs – the 9-to-5ers – have fallen into crippling routines. We set our alarms, get up, head into work and put in a day’s worth of wage-earning duties.
They say a fool and his money are soon parted. While consumer spending is integral to keeping the wheels of our economy turning, there comes a point where frugality must step in.
We look at ourselves daily, but how often do we ask the hard questions? When do we stare at our own reflection and ask “who am I?” I asked myself that very question and was puzzled, perplexed even dumfounded. Who am I?
The complex tug-of-war between life and death has plagued humankind from the very beginning. Looking up at the stars in the night, even our cave-dwelling ancestors wondered about “what’s next.” Humans have been driven to uncover the answers, through gods, various religious texts, even the search for the fountain of youth and Shangri-La.
We are definitely living in sobering times. The conflict in Ukraine, and response from around the world, shows just how important social media, and “instant” messages are these days.
We are quite lucky in this country, the True North Strong and Free. We know it, say it, but many of our citizens don’t likely grasp the true meaning. We take democracy and our rights and freedoms for granted. Didn’t we have these all along?
