It&#8217;s the question on the minds of many as the summer draws near &#8212; will there be camps for kids in Peterborough amid the ongoing pandemic?
The short answer to that question is yes — but it won&#8217;t be quite like it does in normal years.
For example, the numbers of kids in a specific camp will be nowhere near the normal capacity and there will be screening, distancing and masks.

				City of Peterborough recreational camps			</h2>
						
	
&nbsp;
The City of Peterborough is currently reviewing how it will roll out its camps this summer.
But the plan is to have camps at the Peterborough Sport &amp; Wellness Centre and at the Navy Club.
&#8220;Registration, we&#8217;re still working on and we&#8217;re still waiting on the framework processes from the government, whether we&#8217;re in the red zone or orange zone and what operations can look like,&#8221; said Rob McAulay, city recreation and sport and wellness centre manager.
&#8220;We&#8217;ll be following all those safety protocols. Luckily, we did a few camps last year under the other regulations, so we have some experience with that and we&#8217;re looking forward to getting camps back up and running this year.&#8221;
McAulay says there will be temperature checks and active screening and group sizes will likely be kept to 10 to 15 children, depending on what the government&#8217;s framework will be at that time.
The city is aiming to start these camps for the beginning of July.
Registration isn&#8217;t open at this point, but it will be <a href="http://peterborough.ca" target="_blank">online</a>.
McAulay tells Global News Peterborough previous camp participants will be emailed first, but all information will be posted to social media and the <a href="http://peterborough.ca" target="_blank">city</a> and <a href="https://www.peterborough.ca/en/explore-and-play/sport-wellness-centre.aspx" target="_blank">wellness centre</a> websites when available.

				Peterborough Museum &amp; Archives			</h2>
						
	
The Peterborough Museum &amp; Archives is planning seven weeks of summer camp for children ages four to 13 with new themes each week.
Registration opened in April and according to officials, is filling up fast.
&#8220;We&#8217;re definitely optimistic to get our full summer camp lineup in this summer,&#8221; said Faryn Stanley, museum education officer.
&#8220;The hope is to have it on-site at the museum.&#8221;
The tentative start date is July 12 running until the end of August.
Groups will be capped at 10 children at this point and there will be enhanced cleaning, physical distancing, masks and screening protocols.
There are two-day camps, Junior Discovery for ages four to six and Summer Discovery for ages seven to 11.
Stanley said there is a wait-list and if restrictions are eased and more kids can be allowed in the groups, the museum will call parents on the list.
More information can be found on the <a href="https://www.peterborough.ca/en/explore-and-play/museum-discovery.aspx" target="_blank">museum&#8217;s website</a>.

				YMCA			</h2>
						
	
&nbsp;
There will likely be two summer camps offered by the YMCA, one in Peterborough and one in Lakefield.
Pre-<a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/covid" target="_blank">COVID-19</a>, there would be 80 to 100 kids per site.
This year, that number is 30 in Peterborough and 20 in Lakefield, with only 10 kids per group.
&#8220;It&#8217;s all COVID restriction pending and public health guideline pending. We&#8217;re working through the permits and things like that, but we&#8217;re very hopeful to run camps this summer,&#8221; said MaryAnne Wooldridge, manager of membership and youth programs for YMCA Central East Ontario.
Wooldridge tells Global News Peterborough that all safety protocols will be followed, including masking and screening.
Registration opened this week on the <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/camp" target="_blank">YMCA website</a>.
&#8220;We&#8217;re asking people to register now but payment is not due until two weeks before they attend camp.  So if something does happen, payments won&#8217;t be processed,&#8221; Wooldridge added.
If camps move ahead, they will start July 5 with six weeks of camp throughout July and the weeks of Aug. 9 and 16.
Wooldridge said the Peterborough location is still pending at Beavermead Park, as long as they get permit approvals.

				Trent University			</h2>
						
	
According to Trent University&#8217;s communications department, plans for Trent Excalibur Camp for summer 2021 are still under discussion.
&#8220;We are hopeful that, if public health restrictions are eased, we will be able to build on our 29 year history of providing youth programming to the local community. Updates will be posted to the Trent Athletics website when more information is available,&#8221; the university stated.

Many agencies in Peterborough that offer summer camp for kids are planning to hold reduced-sized camps this summer.

COVID-19: Will there be camps for kids this summer in Peterborough?

Flying Eze

Fire crews spent over three hours putting out a string of suspicious fires on three Winnipeg streets Tuesday morning.
Winnipeg Fire and Paramedic Services (WFPS) says it all started when members were called to a garage fire in the 400 block of Sherbrook Street shortly before 6:00 a.m.
The WFPS says &#8220;a number&#8221; of garbage bins were on fire nearby when they arrived.

				Winnipeg condo complex fire under investigation: WFPS			</a>
		
	
Shortly after, more garbage bin fires were reported on the 400 block of Young Street.
An unoccupied vacant building also went up in flames on the 300 block of Young Street only minutes later.
The city says WFPS put out all the fires quickly, but less than an hour later, they were being called to more garbage bin fires, this time on Sargent Avenue.
One of the fires even jumped to a nearby three-storey apartment block, which was evacuated.
WFPS says no injuries were reported in any case, and damage estimates are still unknown.

<h2>Arson prevention</h2>
The city says the number of fires tends to rise every spring, particularly those that are determined to be arson.
The WFPS says it has responded to a number of outdoor fires over just the past week, and many are considered suspicious.

To combat this, the WFPS&#8217; Community Fire Prevention Partnership, along with Business Improvement Zones and Take Pride Winnipeg work to identify and report properties at risk of arson.
WFPS crews also inspect neighbourhoods throughout the spring and summer to identify fire hazards.
To prevent arson, the city suggests:
<ul>
<li>Only putting garbage and recycling carts and yard waste out on collection day.</li>
<li>Dispose of garbage, yard waste, lumber, and bulky waste properly and quickly.</li>
<li>Contact 311 to schedule pickup of bunky waste items (such as mattresses).</li>
<li>Keep garbage, bulky waste, and firewood well away from buildings, especially homes and garages.</li>
<li>Use motion-activated lights, and keep garage doors closed and locked.</li>
</ul>

The latest transfer news sees Declan Rice to Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo to PSG discussed.
[ MORE: <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/nbc-sports-premier-league-schedule" target="_blank">How to watch PL in the USA</a> ]   
Both of those reports are pretty juicy, and a lot of attention will be on these two players this summer in what will be a very busy transfer market.
Let&#8217;s dig in on these reports.

<h4>Declan Rice to Manchester United?</h4>
According to the <a href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-united-transfer-news-rice-20381840" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Manchester Evening News</a>, West Ham and England star Declan Rice has been asking Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw about life at Manchester United and is interested in a possible transfer.
Rice, 22, was linked with a $130 million transfer to Chelsea for most of last summer and this season has been his best yet as he&#8217;s been key to West Ham&#8217;s incredible campaign as they sit in the top four with seven games to go.
However, it appears Rice is intrigued by a possible move to United as the report claims he reached out to Maguire and Shaw specifically.
[ VIDEO: <a href="http://www.nbcsports.com/video/sport/soccer" target="_blank">Premier League highlights</a> ]
That said, how much would he cost now? Rice has a contract at West Ham until 2024, so he won&#8217;t be cheap, but there&#8217;s no doubt he will be an England star for most of the next decade.
With Paul Pogba, Fred, Scott McTominay, Nemanja Matic and Donny van de Beek as their current central midfield options, United have a lot of players in that area.
But Pogba could leave this summer, so too could Van de Beek, and Matic is coming towards the end of his career.
The added advantage of signing Rice is that he can also play at center back, which is another position Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to strengthen. Rice to Manchester United would also slot in with Solskjaer&#8217;s philosophy of signing young, British players who are well-established in the Premier League.

<h4>Cristiano Ronaldo to PSG reports resurface</h4>
We know that Cristiano Ronaldo could be available this summer and the 36-year-old has been linked consistently with a return to Real Madrid.
But a report from Spanish outlet <a href="https://en.as.com/en/2021/04/13/football/1618330862_896812.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">AS</a> claims that Ronaldo to PSG could be a thing.
With one year left on his current deal at Juventus, he is unlikely to go for a big transfer fee this summer despite the fact he will guarantee you 30 goals a season.
With that in mind, the report states that Juve are open to a swap deal.
Mauro Icardi and Moise Kean (who is on loan from Everton this season but could sign permanently) could head to Juventus, with Ronaldo heading to PSG to link up with Neymar.
The report also states that Real Madrid will not make a romantic move for Ronaldo this summer as they are fully focused on signing Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe instead.
Ronaldo at PSG, leading them to Champions League glory? I mean, France and Germany are the only two top five leagues in Europe he is yet to win a league title in&#8230;

The transfer news is really heating up as Jesse Lingard to Arsenal, PSG, Real Madrid or Inter Milan and Marouane Fellaini to Tottenham are two of the latest reports.
[ MORE: <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/nbc-sports-premier-league-schedule" target="_blank">How to watch PL in the USA</a> ]
When it comes to Lingard, he is being chased by so many clubs as his incredible loan spell at West Ham has definitely seen his stock soar.
Let&#8217;s focus on two attacking midfielders potential heading to north London&#8230;

<h4>Jesse Lingard to Arsenal, PSG, Inter Milan or Real Madrid</h4>
Lingard is having an amazing time on loan at West Ham, scoring eight goals and adding three assists in his first nine games for the Hammers.
Will he head back to Manchester United this summer when his loan ends? Will he join West Ham permanently? Or will he join another club?
The Hammers do not have an option to buy Lingard permanently, but if he leads them to a top four finish and UEFA Champions League qualification, surely he will join them permanently at the London Stadium?
A report from the <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-jesse-lingard-west-ham-23889645" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Daily Star</a> says that Arsenal want to sign Lingard this summer, as the Gunners missed out on grabbing him on loan in January because United didn&#8217;t want to send him to a direct rival. It is also based on whether or not Mikel Arteta can sign loanee Martin Odegaard permanently from Real Madrid, and if they can&#8217;t then Lingard will be a top option.
Another report from <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/4358163/psg-real-madrid-inter-milan-monitoring-lingards-situation-at-man-united-sources" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">ESPN</a> states that Real Madrid, PSG and Inter Milan are all keeping a close eye on his situation. Wow. Take a moment to digest that.
Lingard, 28, is expected to play for England at the European Championships this summer and on current form perhaps this report isn&#8217;t too wild. After all, Lingard could start ahead of Jack Grealish, James Maddison, Mason Mount and Jadon Sancho, and that is no mean feat.
Still, it&#8217;s tough to see those European giants making a big move for Lingard, but you could see Inter making a loan bid as Antonio Conte loves to head to United with Lukaku, Sanchez and Young all making that move in recent seasons.
Whatever happens in the next few months, Lingard will be a man in demand and with his contract at United running until the summer of 2022, the Red Devils will surely be able to ask for over $30 million for the playmaker.
Lingard&#8217;s loan move to West Ham has to go down as one of the best ever.

<h4>Fellaini to link up with Mourinho at Tottenham?</h4>
Now, this is probably not the news Tottenham fans wanted to hear the day after they saw their team smashed by Manchester United to leave their top four hopes in tatters. But here it is.
Jose Mourinho is reportedly planning a reunion with Marouane Fellaini, as the Belgium national team midfielder, 33, has a contract with Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng which runs out in December, but he could be allowed to leave on a free this summer.
Belgian outlet <a href="https://www.voetbal24.be/news/69168/marouane-fellaini-verlaat-china-en-maakt-spectaculaire-comeback-bij-dze-topclub" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Voetbal24</a> has the report, as Fellaini reportedly wants to return to Europe.
Fellaini was one of Mourinho&#8217;s most-trusted players at United and helped them win the League Cup and Europa League in 2017. His style of play isn&#8217;t for everyone, and it is tough to predict Mourinho being at Spurs next season at this point, but would this be a good move for all concerned?
For Fellaini, yes. For Tottenham, financially yes. But is Fellaini an upgrade on the scarcely used Dele Alli? Probably not.
If Mourinho is still in charge at Tottenham next season, this could happen, as Fellaini would make Spurs nastier to play against and that is something Mourinho wants to, and has to, change

Spring officially arrives Saturday, and Anthony Farnell, Chief Meteorologist for Global News, said we can also expect warmer temperatures to arrive.
&#8220;Overall for Southern Ontario, I think we are going to see above seasonal temperatures through spring and likely into summer as well,&#8221; Farnell said.

				Is it COVID-19 or just seasonal allergies?			</a>
		
	
&#8220;The month of April, in particular in the first half of the month, I do expect to see much above seasonal temperatures for the Peterborough area and then expanding out to the Great Lakes.”
As for rainfall, Farnell said we haven&#8217;t seen much precipitation in the last month of winter, but he expects to see that change this season.
&#8220;We are going to see a more active storm track, we will see those typical April showers,&#8221; he said.

&nbsp;
Yet he said he had &#8220;good news&#8221; for people usually impacted by flooding.
&#8220;I don’t anticipate a big flood season this year because a lot of the snow has been melting slowly through the month of March and we haven’t had any big snowstorms to add to the worry down the road&#8221;
More good news, he said, is the temperature trend, with temperatures expected to be above seasonal for spring and into early summer.
&#8220;By then, we will be complaining about the heat and humidity,&#8221; Farnell said.

‘Overall for Southern Ontario, I think we are going to see above seasonal temperatures through spring and likely into summer,” forecasts meteorologist Anthony Farnell. Continue reading →

Like last season, the business had to modify the way it operates to accommodate public health measures regarding the <a href="https://globalnews.ca/tag/coronavirus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coronavirus pandemic</a>.
The ice cream shop now accepts debit, employees wear masks and plexiglass has been installed to serve as barriers between staff and customers.

Even the long lines that form in the summer months will look different.
Staff will monitor the queue to make sure people are staying six feet apart, and group sizes are being limited.
Milky Way has been in business for 65 years.

Regina’s Milky Way officially opens for spring, summer season

British Columbians are anxiously awaiting more details on the province&#8217;s <a href="https://globalnews.ca/tag/coronavirus/">COVID-19</a> vaccination roll-out program.
Some of that information will be tabled during a press conference featuring B.C.&#8217;s provincial health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, on Monday.
Henry recently suggested that British Columbians are getting closer to some semblance of “normal” as the summer rapidly approaches.
Those comments come despite the fact the seven-day rolling average of new cases in the province has been on a steady rise over the past week. On Friday, 521 cases were reported in B.C, the highest tally in six weeks.

“By the time we get to the summer, we’re going to be in a different place. In the coming months, we’re going to be able to do all those things that we have been missing for the last year,” Henry said Tuesday.
Many residents in the Okanagan are hoping that is the case.
“It would be nice to go back to normal,” one resident told Global News.
Another, however, was frustrated by the vaccine rollout so far.

“The government has sat on their thumbs, trying to get the vaccine rolled out. That’s what the problem is, we’re not getting enough vaccine,” he noted.
The next phase for the province is expected to be distributing the three Health-Canada approved vaccines for residents 80 years of age and older.
As of Sunday, B.C. is still in just Phase 1 of its vaccine rollout, which covers residents and staff of long-term care facilities, some health care and some Indigenous communities.

In the coming months, we’re going to be able to do all those things that we have been missing for the last year,” Dr. Bonnie Henry said Tuesday. Continue reading →

Optimism for ‘normal’ summer as B.C. enters phase 2 of vaccine rollout

If you don’t like winter, then it is certainly an ideal time to be a resident of the Okanagan, where locals are enjoying above-average temperatures.
Environment Canada’s Jonathan Bau tells Global News there are winter storm warnings and watches in effect for a number of mountain passes to start the work week, most notably along the Trans-Canada Highway between Eagle Pass and Rogers Pass.
“For tonight, [expect] 10 to 20 centimetres of snow. Then for Monday, a further 15 centimetres, and that’s in addition to the five to 10 centimetres for the day period Sunday. That’s why where seeing upwards of 40 centimetres for the total,” Bau said.

There is also up to 25 centimetres on the way at the Coquihalla and Alison Pass summits; another system expected to cause traitorous driving conditions and likely closures.
“You know what, I’m just happy I don’t have to travel back and forth on the Coquihalla anymore,” a Kelowna resident noted.
Another enjoying the mild Sunday afternoon agreed.
“I don’t want to deal with any of those highway issues. When you get stuff like this, it’s just beautiful to be here. No wonder people come to Kelowna on vacation. It’s perfect.”

But for anyone wondering if this could be one of the milder winters on record for the region, Global News Meteorologist Yvonne Schaelle tells us — not quite.
“So far December was the ninth warmest on record and January the seventh warmest on record. February, we had that cold snap and we may be colder than normal, we’ll have to wait until the end of the month to see. But with the warmer temperatures over the past few days, I’m sure many are hoping for an early spring.&#8221;

Wintery weather could be over for Okanagan residents

Sea and sun are part of the perfect vacation for many. Some like it hot, some fresh. Europe has tens of thousands of kilometers of coastline, which attract a wide variety of dream beaches. Here is a selection:

<img class="aligncenter" title="Dream beaches Europe Portugal Castelo" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.dw.com/image/18571222_303.jpg?w=662&#038;ssl=1" alt="Dream beaches Europe Portugal Castelo" data-recalc-dims="1" />

<h2>Algarve, Portugal</h2>
Bizarre rock formations, golden beaches and dreamy bays &#8211; the Algarve is Portugal&#8217;s most popular holiday region. With more than 3000 hours of sunshine a year, it is one of the absolute leaders in Europe. Castelo beach near Albufeira is great for diving and snorkeling.
<img class="aligncenter" title="Dream beaches Europe Sicily" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.dw.com/image/18571213_303.jpg?w=662&#038;ssl=1" alt="Dream beaches Europe Sicily" data-recalc-dims="1" />

<h2>Sicily, Italy</h2>
The largest island in the Mediterranean lures with medieval towns and ancient ruins. And it is also a swimming paradise. Miles of long, often deserted sandy beaches stretch along the coast, framed by white cliffs, as here at Eraclea Minoa. You can go to the sea until late in the autumn because Africa is directly opposite.
<img class="aligncenter" title="Dream beaches Europe France Hossegor" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.dw.com/image/18571212_303.jpg?w=662&#038;ssl=1" alt="Dream beaches Europe France Hossegor" data-recalc-dims="1" />

<h2>Atlantic coast, France</h2>
The perfect wave rolls here: Hossegor is very popular among surfers. The small town on the southern French Atlantic coast scores with straight sandbanks and waves up to three meters high. International surf competitions have also taken place here since the 1970s.
<img class="aligncenter" title="Dream beaches Europe Greece Elafonissi" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.dw.com/image/18571208_303.jpg?w=662&#038;ssl=1" alt="Dream beaches Europe Greece Elafonissi" data-recalc-dims="1" />

<h2>Crete, Greece</h2>
The largest Greek island attracts with an ancient culture, with clear sea and wide beaches. The bay of Elafonisi is on the southwestern tip. The pink colored shell sand gives the beach a touch of the Caribbean.
<img class="aligncenter" title="Dream beaches Europe island Hiddensee" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.dw.com/image/18571206_303.jpg?w=662&#038;ssl=1" alt="Dream beaches Europe island Hiddensee" data-recalc-dims="1" />

<h2>Hiddensee, Germany</h2>
The Baltic Sea island is a natural paradise and holiday destination. Cars are prohibited with a few exceptions. There are no hotel castles. To explore Hiddensee with its bird sanctuaries, tourists use bicycles and horse-drawn carriages &#8211; or go on foot.
<img class="aligncenter" title="Dream Beaches Europe England Devon" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.dw.com/image/18571205_303.jpg?w=662&#038;ssl=1" alt="Dream Beaches Europe England Devon" data-recalc-dims="1" />

<h2>Devon, UK</h2>
The Devon coast is known as the &#8220;English Riviera&#8221;, the Gulf Stream ensures a pleasant climate. There are many small holiday resorts, such as Woolacombe: the six-kilometer-long sandy beach is rarely overcrowded even in summer.
<img class="aligncenter" title="Dream beaches Europe Turkey Iztuzu" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.dw.com/image/18571202_303.jpg?w=662&#038;ssl=1" alt="Dream beaches Europe Turkey Iztuzu" data-recalc-dims="1" />

<h2>Dalyan, Turkey</h2>
Not only tourists on the Mediterranean relax on the Iztuzu beach. The rare hawksbill turtles also lay their eggs here. The beach is therefore closed in the evening. Around the town of Dalyan there are rock tombs and architectural relics from the time of the Roman Empire.
<img class="aligncenter" title="Dream beaches Europe Insel Römö" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.dw.com/image/18571198_303.jpg?w=662&#038;ssl=1" alt="Dream beaches Europe Insel Römö" data-recalc-dims="1" />

<h2>Romo, Denmark</h2>
The Danish island of Römö has the widest beach in Europe: up to six kilometers have to be covered up to the water. It is more convenient to drive directly to the North Sea by car &#8211; this is allowed on the island. Beach sailors and riders also like to use the slopes.
<img class="aligncenter" title="Dream beaches Europe Montenegro Budva" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.dw.com/image/18571196_303.jpg?w=662&#038;ssl=1" alt="Dream beaches Europe Montenegro Budva" data-recalc-dims="1" />

<h2>Adriatic coast, Montenegro</h2>
The sandy beaches of Montenegro are no longer an insider tip, they are now almost as well known as those of their big neighbor Croatia. Jaz Bay near the city of Budva, which is worth a day trip with its old town and fortress, is particularly popular.
<img class="aligncenter" title="Curonian Spit in Lithuania" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.dw.com/image/16270169_303.jpg?w=662&#038;ssl=1" alt="Curonian Spit in Lithuania" data-recalc-dims="1" />

<h2>Baltic Sea coast, Lithuania</h2>
The Curonian Spit stretches 98 kilometers along the Baltic Sea. The largest hiking dune in Europe rises near the resort of Nidden. &#8220;You think you are in the Sahara,&#8221; wrote writer Thomas Mann about his summer home in Nidden 80 years ago.
<img class="aligncenter" title="Dream beaches of Europe Benirras" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.dw.com/image/18571189_303.jpg?w=662&#038;ssl=1" alt="Dream beaches of Europe Benirras" data-recalc-dims="1" />

<h2>Ibiza, Spain</h2>
Balearic Island is considered a hotspot of the European house and techno scene. In Ibiza, you can dance the night away and chill out by the sea. For example, Benirras beach is famous for spectacular sunsets.

Sea and sun are part of the perfect vacation for many. Some like it hot, some fresh. Europe has tens of thousands of kilometers of coastline, which attract a wide variety of dream beaches. Here is a selection: Algarve, Portugal Bizarre rock formations, golden beaches and dreamy bays – the Algarve is Portugal’s most popular holiday region. With more […] More

Before Kliff Kingsbury was hired as the Cardinals head coach, he had been the head coach at Texas Tech and that experience is one he’ll be drawing on this summer.
Kingsbury spoke to reporters on a Tuesday conference call about the “uncharted territory” of preparing to play an NFL season amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The league has altered the training camp schedule and cancelled preseason games in response, which is certainly new at this level but is familiar to Kingsbury from his days on the collegiate level.
“It lines up similarly to how we had it in college,” Kingsbury said, via the team’s website. “We’re a year removed from that and how we built it, there were no preseason games, you just know what you’ve got and not what anybody else has, so there is definitely some anxiety heading into that first week. It’ll be new for everybody. We’ll do the best we can to maximize those padded practices. You’re trying to get your starters and No. 2 guys ready and at the same time do evaluations on the young guys. I think practice scheduling will be key.”
Kingsbury said it is “going to take everybody” to make sure that the preparations for the season are successful under  circumstances that are going to challenge everyone in the league.
