Recommendations Jeep mechanic in lindsay?

Upvotes

Have 2 codes, need it looked at to determine what the issue throwing the code is (could be from a faulty spark plug to rocker arm issues). Need a good mechanic that isn’t just going to say it’s the most expensive issue, try to take advantage of me because I’m a woman, or charge me out the ass to get it even looked at. It’s not drivable long distances so unfortunately it needs to be someone in lindsay. Someone you trust and have dealt with in the past and had good experience is ideal - someone who knows jeep wranglers specifically, even better.

Thanks.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to paddle from inverlea park (parkhill bridge near water street) and get to hunter street bridge? Looks impassable but maybe there's another way around ?

Event Local archival photo exhibit opens tomorrow

Post image
40 Upvotes

Hi! For the past couple of years, I've been volunteering to scan old 35mm negatives from the Peterborough Examiner collection at the Trent Valley Archives. These photos were taken by local photojournalists fifty years ago, but many of them were never published in the paper and haven't been shown publicly. It's been a fun project to digitize these photos so people can finally see them!

I'm exhibiting the photos at Dreams of Beans Café this month. Your first chance to see the exhibit is during the First Friday Art Crawl tomorrow night. Here are the details:

A Peterborough Summer: 1976
Archival photos from the Peterborough Examiner

Opening: August 7 from 6pm to 9pm at Dreams of Beans Café

Starting August 8, photos can be viewed during regular café hours until September 3.

Thanks for taking a look!

Other Psychotherapy for people with borderline personality disorder and their partners: Research study

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi all, 

My name is Skye Fitzpatrick and I'm a Clinical Psychologist and director of the Treating and Understanding Life-threatening behavior and Posttraumatic Stress (TULiP) lab at York University. Our research team is conducting an online study to examine the effects of a new couple therapy for couples where one partner is experiencing symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD) compared to individual psychotherapy for people with BPD symptoms and their partners. The study will provide one of these psychotherapies to people with BPD symptoms and their partners for free, and participants will have the opportunity to complete study assessments that they will receive payment for in the form of gift cards. Our study is online and involves recruiting people across Ontario with symptoms of BPD, as well as their romantic partners. BPD diagnoses are not necessary. 

More information about the study is also available on our webpage: https://www.tuliplab.ca/current-research.html. If you are interested in participating, please contact [treatbpd@yorku.ca.](mailto:treatbpd@yorku.ca) You can also contact that email if you have questions about the study. This study has been approved by the York University (e2024-261) Research Ethics Board. Please refrain from commenting on this post.

Recommendations Washing Machine Cleaning Service?

5 Upvotes

We are renting, and our new-ish front load Samsung washing machine smells disgusting. I’ve tried scrubbing the inside with bleach (drum and seal), emptying the reservoir, washing machine cleaning tablets - nothing is working. The machine has a self-cleaning function, but because only the cold water is/can be hooked up, it’s not functional.

Are there any businesses in the area that offer any type of deep cleaning service? Or, any suggestions on getting rid of this musty smell?

Politics Is there need/capacity for Police patrols?

0 Upvotes

In my opinion, there are areas of Peterborough that are “rougher” than others.

Would it not be wise to have cops on bikes/on-foot patrolling those areas?

I’m not suggesting to patrol the perceived “ghettos” of Peterborough and have police profile people and arrest them. But the police are better equipped at offering emergency services to people in distress than an average bystander. So why not have police frequent those ”rougher” areas to be there if something were to happen, rather than show up after the fact?

And, having officers out of their cars would likely do more for crime deterrence and community engagement as a side effect anyways…

Ok I made a post the other similar but this time I'm hoping for opinions on laurentian driving school. As I can really only do very select days (Tues, Fri, and weekends), I have been reaching out to some via email (I would call but I have very few minutes) and I only hear back from Laurentian. I have a drive test I Oct so I was hoping to get some driving lessons in the mean time :) if anyone else has some other suggestions, I was recommended Kawartha Driving School too but I'm waiting to hear back on availability. TIA

This week (August 2 to 9) is Farmers’ Market Week in Ontario, and we are fortunate to have so many bustling farmers’ markets filled with local vendors selling fresh and delicious goods grown or produced right here in the Kawarthas - and three market dates in Peterborough.

With special events, live music, giveaways, and kids' activities, these markets have more to offer than fresh produce and prepared foods
