OVER THE BACK FENCE

Another day, another announcement of budget cuts from the Ontario government. Since we last spoke, the provincial Conservatives have slashed the inter-library loan program, announced the reduction of paramedic services in the province from 40 to 10, cut millions of dollars from public health agencies and muchneeded social programs. At the same time, Ford’s government is promising dental care for low-income seniors, an influx of millions of dollars in transit for the GTA, a push for liquor sales in corner stores and, oh yeah, a new logo and slogan for our licence plates.

I think there are many who have taken a sip of Mr. Ford’s koolaid. I understand there has been overspending in a lot of departments and programs over the years and that it is incumbent on the sitting government to try to balance the budget. And not everyone will be happy about where the cuts are coming from. But I don’t feel there’s a master plan that will bring

it all together in four years.

Being a media relations professional for many years, I can read between the key messages and party lines. I somehow don’t feel like our voice is being represented -- those of us who live in rural Ontario and rely on many of the services that have come under the budget knife. Isn’t this why we have elected officials?

It’s all well and good to rant about this, according to one of The Kawartha Promoter’s readers, but we must do something. Write your MPP today!

Village Voice The Promoter reserves the right to edit Letters to the Editor for length and clarity. Please include your email or mailing address and daytime phone number (not for publication). All opinions expressed are those of the writer.

When it comes to the environment, it seems no one wants to spend money or come up with realistic initiatives to ensure our children and grandchildren have a healthy place to live. For instance, the Federal Carbon Tax, which is actually not a tax but an incentive program, has made people angry but what is the alternative?

The Ford government says it has an Environment Plan that meets the Paris agreement on greenhouse gas reduction but sadly the plan is short on details.

As an example, their big ‘stick’ is their threat to come down hard on large emitters calling it “tough but fair” when in reality they will have the prerogative “to grant across-the-board exemptions for industries of particular concern, like the auto sector”. So any sector, large emitter or not, can be exempt from pollution regulations.

It seems people want to focus on themselves and not on the bigger picture. Do we have to choose the economy over our environment? Yes, initiatives to curb CO2 emissions will cost money. Companies will not convert to a low carbon footprint just because it is a good thing to do, they will respond however when

THUNDER WORLD BUCKHORN DIRT BIKES, ATVS, E-BIKES, PARTS AND SERVICE $899

The misinformation presented in this letter (Village Voice, April 18) really did need a response.

First of all, the Carbon Tax is the best approach to fighting climate change according to a research paper review done by the United Nations (and look at the success BC has had). Climate change must be dealt with now - just ask the insurance companies.

The Carbon Tax is truly not a “Tax” as the Federal Government provides compensatory funding that exceeds the cost most people will spend to support this program. Rebate cheques are forthcoming this year, even if it doesn’t show up on gas pump stickers.

The Tire Tax mentioned is a provincial issue, not a Federal program (speak to Mr. Ford).

The Carbon Tax is very transparent -- no surprises with the costing or the usage -- it is not a “tax grab”.

Canadians are not at the top of any taxation list.

I believe that the independent Conference Board of Canada recently reviewed this matter and determined that Canadians were in the lower ranks of taxation when it was examined on a world wide scale.

Further, one doesn’t have to travel very far in the world to realize how fortunate Canadians are. We have a great country in part because of excellent services generated by a relatively fair taxation system. This sustains Canadian democracy in a world where such rights are under attack. Winston Churchill indicated that Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others. It works in a large part because of our system of taxation.

I hope J. R. Baldwin of Omemee spends his Carbon Tax rebate on improving the environment.

City Hall

There’s more news from City Hall than there was space in the printed version of The Kawartha Promoter.

Additional articles can be found on our website: www.thepromoter.ca.

CKL COUNCIL REPORT

The Council Meeting of April 23, 2019 that ran almost three hours featured two very special visitors. The meeting also featured some very important decisions made about road maintenance and the purchase of new equipment.

Thurstonia docking public meeting Councillor Ashmore shared that there would be a public meeting at the Dunsford Community Center on May 3 from 1 to 4pm to discuss docking policies in Thurstonia Park.

Frank Hill Road Public Boat Access

Councillors Richardson and Veale visited the site to see if a recommendation that the site be recognized as an official City Boat Launch was a good choice.

Both returned recommending a variation on that possibility. They believe that the Frank Hill site lacks proper parking and will create dangerous road congestion if approved. Most neighbors agreed, and Councillors Richardson and Veale recommended that around the corner from the Frank Hill site was a better site on Bertha Drive where road congestion would likely not occur.

Council asked staff to look into the Bertha Road site and bring back a report sometime in Quarter 3, 2019.

• A broadband announcement will be coming soon from the province • The provincial government is fighting the carbon tax in court believing it limits the industrial competitiveness of Ontario and Canada to attract investment • The province is hoping to put policies into place quickly that will encourage the exploration and development of the “Ring of Fire” north of Thunder Bay which will provide “jobs, jobs, jobs” in Ontario • The province is soon to make a billion dollar commitment to repair and maintain geared to income housing that has been a municipal responsibility since 2001 • Changes are coming to Conservation Authorities all across Ontario regarding their role in future development and construction A Report From Jamie Schmale Jamie Schmale, the federal MP for HaliburtonKawartha Lakes-Brock was also invited to provide Council with an update of what was going on in Ottawa.

Schmale shared the following: • Federal money will likely be available for the high speed Internet/broadband/cellular services gap project that Scott spoke about • Was very pleased to see the federal Liberals make the decision to return with no strings attached the surplus from the Federal Gas Tax fund. Locally that almost $5 million can be used for anything the City deems to be a priority. Schmale believes that municipalities know best how that money should be spent.

It’s SERVICE that sells homes

A Report From Laurie Scott Laurie Scott, the provincial member representing Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock, provided for Council an update on what was happening at Queen’s Park in Toronto that might impact CKL.

• Is involved with the Trent-Severn Waterway and other key stakeholders in a “Save the Walleye” initiative to protect the future of this popular game fish that generates millions of dollars in tourism as anglers from across North America come to Bobcaygeon and area to fish • No new money for a separate VIA Rail passenger line that might include Pontypool and Peterborough was announced in the federal budget. Schmale believes that the Liberals are about to announce a separate pre-election infrastructure program and VIA may get its opportunity to build a dedicated passenger line with that funding.

• Made it very clear that opening up the “Ring of Fire” in northern Ontario was a major push for the federal Conservatives • Promised that “oil, natural gas, mining and farming would find a far more competitive regulatory environment” under a Conservative government • Concluded by sharing that in his conversations with the Trent-Severn about other issues that the “navigational hazard caused by wild rice” had been discussed and he hoped “something would be forthcoming soon.”

New equipment/vehicles ordered Council approved the ordering of the following equipment /vehicles for City use: • A new Valve Exercise trailer -- $112,790.

• A new Forestry Aerial truck -- $232,420.

• A new ambulance -- $149,134.

Mother’s Day History

According to the History Channel, celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honour of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele. Once a Christian Festival known as Mothering Sunday in the UK and parts of Europe, it fell on the fourth Sunday and Lent. It was originally a time when the faithful would return to their “mother church” for a special service.

FUN FACT: More phone calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day of the year. These holiday chats with Mom often cause phone traffic to spike by as much as 37 percent.

The origins of Mother’s Day as celebrated in the United States date back to the 19th century. In the years before the Civil War, Ann Reeves Jarvis of West Virginia helped start “Mothers’ Day Work Clubs” to teach local women how to properly care for their children. Her version of the day involved wearing a white carnation as a badge and visiting one’s mother or attending church services. But once Mother’s Day became a national holiday, it was not long

before florists, card companies and other merchants capitalized on its popularity.

While Jarvis had initially worked with the floral industry to help raise Mother’s Day’s profile, by 1920 she had become disgusted with how the holiday had been commercialized. She outwardly denounced the transformation and urged people to stop buying Mother’s Day flowers, cards and candies.

While versions of Mother’s Day are celebrated worldwide, traditions vary depending on the country. In Thailand, for example, Mother’s Day is always celebrated in August on the birthday of the current queen, Sirikit.

Another alternate observance of Mother’s Day can be found in Ethiopia, where families gather each fall to sing songs and eat a large feast as part of Antrosht, a multi-day celebration honouring motherhood.

GIVE MOM WHAT SHE NEEDS

Mother’s Day on May 12 is a time to celebrate Moms of every shape and size. It’s easy to hit the store and pick up a piece of jewellery or some flowers, but here are some other ideas that could help you show your Mom how much she means to you.

Let her sleep: While many Moms are multitaskers, there’s nothing better than an hour or so of extra shut-eye on her special day. Keep the kids occupied in quiet pursuits while Mom has a lie in.

Plan ahead: Put together a day of fun for Mom, including activities that she loves. Whether it’s a hike through the forest, a drive in the country or a day of pampering for her, bring the family together for a day she’ll never forget.

Feed her: Mom is usually the one who comes up with the meal ideas, cooks and cleans up. Give her the day off on Mother’s Day with breakfast in bed, lunch at a nice restaurant or a barbeque family dinner. And make sure she doesn’t have to clean up!

Say no to housework: Give Mom the day off when it comes to any type of housework – vaccuuming, emptying the dishwasher or doing laundry. It’s a nice thing to do.

Show her some love: No matter what else you do, show your Mom some love on Mother’s Day. Give her hugs and kisses and tell her how much you love her and appreciate all she does.

God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers. ~ Jewish Proverb “There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one” ~ Jill Churchill If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands? ~ Milton Berle When your mother asks, “Do you want a piece of advice?” it’s a mere formality.

It doesn’t matter if you answer yes or no.

ROOTS ‘N’ RAMBLINGS

By Patty Carlson

The sights and sounds and smells of spring are all around us now. I always get excited to see the first crocus, snow drop or tulip poke its way out of the ground as well as the arrival of the first robin. The migrating ducks stop over in our lakes for a few weeks before flying farther north. These are all things that make my heart beat a little faster as I make lists of all the things to do in the garden and decide what vegetable seeds to plant this year. I check my garden plan from last year to make sure I rotate the plants around in my raised vegetable beds as I plan this year’s garden.

I explore the garden and yard on the nice days between spring showers to check what survived the winter and what may need to be replaced. It never fails to amaze me that no matter how well I cleaned up in the fall, there is still much more to do in the spring. I

like to leave a lot of my garden plants standing in the garden for winter interest. I have to be careful not to clean the plant remains too soon as some insects and pollinators may still be sheltering there.

It’s also a great time to go walking on nice days and to check out all the nature coming to life around us. I’m sure this sounds familiar to many of you as it seems to be an Ontario ritual for all gardeners, bird lovers or nature lovers.

Holly Shipclark of Kawartha Conservation is our speaker for the next Bobcaygeon Horticultural Society meeting, May 16. Creating a rain garden, that is a special garden designed to convert a poorly drained run off area into a ornamental bed is her topic. Held at Knox Street Presbyterian Church, meetings begin with a social gathering at 6:30 followed by the presentation at 7pm. Visitors are welcome.

Happy Spring Everyone!

Health & Wellness HEALTH UNIT CONCLUDES INVESTIGATION

The local Health Unit’s investigation into the potential exposure of patients of a Lindsay dental clinic to bloodborne viruses has concluded.

The investigation of the Lakeland Clinic in Lindsay started in May 2018 after the Health Unit was notified of a dental clinic patient who had been recently diagnosed with hepatitis C, with a strain or genotype not commonly seen in Canada. In its investigation, the Health Unit found a second patient who had previously been diagnosed with hepatitis C with the same uncommon genotype who had received treatment at the same dental clinic on the same day, just prior to the newly-diagnosed case.

Of the 257 patient notification letters sent out by the Health Unit, 223 (87 percent) had their blood tested. As there is a long incubation period for hepatitis C, the Health Unit sent out 167 additional letters urging patients to have follow-up blood testing done. Of those 167 patients, 92 (55 percent) had tests completed. There were no additional newly-positive cases of hepatitis C, hepatitis B or HIV identified as a result of this testing.

In this investigation, Dr. Lynn Noseworthy, Medical Officer of Health for the HKPR District Health Unit says she has nothing but praise for the co-operation provided by the Lakeland Clinic. The owner and staff worked with the Health Unit to quickly correct any infection prevention and control lapses identified and provided all the information required to contact the patients treated in the identified time period.

NEITHER VISIBLE NOR NOTICEABLE

“Invisible-In-The-Canal” (IIC) hearing instruments fit further down the ear canal than any other type of hearing instrument, making them the first choice among those wanting the most discreet aesthetic. They are invisible to onlookers and they are able to take advantage of the natural cues that come from sound interacting with the natural shape of the ear. In addition to their more natural sound quality, IICs can improve how wearers hear their own voices by avoiding the “occlusion effect” that makes their voices seem too loud or hollow. Because they fit so closely to the eardrum, IICs prevent low-pitched sounds from getting “trapped” in the ear canal between the hearing instrument and the eardrum, which leads to sound distortion.

If you or someone close to you are considering wearing a hearing aid, your timing couldn’t be better. The digital revolution has vastly improved hearing aid features and sound quality without increasing their size. This combination of technology and cosmetic appeal opens up a whole new world of hearing possibilities. You can always rely on LINDSAY EAR CLINIC to address your needs on a one-to-one basis. Our goal is to find the most appropriate solution to each individual’s particular hearing concerns.

P.S.“Invisible-In-The-Canal” (IIC) hearing instruments may not be suitable for those with severe hearing loss.

Horoscopes

May 2 to May 15

Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Hold your tongue, Aquarius. At least, know when to speak and when not to. Words are powerful. Give them thought before you say them.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Dream beautiful dreams, dear Pisces – and believe that you can make them come true. Never give up!

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Aries, spend time with supportive, loving people. You cannot go wrong. You know who they are, so make use of their kindness in time of need.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Taurus, you may be faced with a separation of sorts in the coming days. We are not sure what form this may take. It could involve family. But, remember, distance cannot separate you from the love you feel for each other.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) It’s that time again, Gemini – time to take time out for yourself! Don’t get bogged down in your work commitments and other responsibilities. You are only valuable to others if you value yourself.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Learn to check your impulses at the door, Cancer. They will lead nowhere. Think things through – thoroughly before you act.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) You are entering yet another new phase of your life, Leo, one that will encompass new learning and new friends – and one that will bring you great satisfaction.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Beware of people who seem innocent and naïve during this phase, Virgo. They may, in fact, be a lot more aware than you realise – and could also be dangerous in your career.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) We foresee a Spring love ahead for you, dear Libra. Let it envelope you with joy and caring. Lucky you!

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) “The ancient symbol of the Tree has been found to represent physical and spiritual nourishment, transformation and liberation, union and fertility.” What do trees represent to you, Scorpio? Do you stand tall and fierce in the winds that blow your way? You’ve got this!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) The future is looking up, Sagittarius.

Remain calm in the face of tribulation, and realise it will pass. Your time WILL come!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) “If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.”: Maya Angelou. Oh, dear Capricorn, so true! You have so much “individuality” to share with the world. Never be afraid to show it!
