SENIORS’ HOUSING

Although I agree with Garry Jones (Village Voice, October 31) on the plight of seniors trying to live on OAS and CPP with no other income, I strongly disagree on how to solve the problem.

It’s always an easy solution to raise income taxes to pay for anything that will help Canadians, but we have to stop public funding for those who have created their own retirement issues. Why should every hard working taxpayer have to pay additional taxes for those seniors that did not plan adequately for their own care?

The senior population of Canada will rise

dramatically over the next 15 years with fewer young taxpayers contributing to income tax. I’ve planned properly for my retirement - why should any taxpaying Canadian pay for those who did not plan properly? The idea that seniors can stay in their own homes if we subsidize them more in retirement is not financially sound for all Canadians.

How about selling that house and paying for your own retirement?

S. Rethoret, Trent Lakes

Veterans Speak Out

To those who voted Liberal, we hope you’re satisfied.

Did you miss the news during the election campaign that these people cut millions of healthcare subsidy dollars earmarked for our active duty and retired armed forces personnel? The same group who have kept us safe starting with WW1?

You should be ashamed of yourselves!

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.

Here are the highlights from the November 5 Committee of the Whole Meeting at City of Kawartha Lakes Council.

Agriculture and food

A new Agricultural and Food Action Plan has been built in partnership with farmers, agri-businesses, staff and the Agricultural Development Advisory Committee. It will support the sector throughout 20202024 and aligns with all other related master plans and studies.

There are over 45 action items. Implementation will be a collaborative effort among a collective group of stakeholders throughout Kawartha Lakes to ensure success. The draft plan will be discussed with stakeholders to seek partnerships and firm up plans for municipal responsibilities. It will come back to Council in 2020. For more information, please contact kmaloney@kawarthalakes.ca.

Tourism Plan

A five-year Destination Development Plan is being developed for building and managing the visitor economy in Kawartha Lakes. This sector is an important part of our economy and includes: • Attraction of 1.6 million domestic visitors a year • Total domestic visitor spending of $106 million • 4,900 jobs impacted by tourism related businesses The new Plan will focus on increasing spend per visitor, increasing length of stay and developing market-ready experiences in culinary tourism, cycle tourism, cultural tourism, experiential tourism and signature festivals and events. The plan will come to Council in February 2020.

affordable housing, 57 additional housing allowances were also established and 100 first-time home buyers received down payment assistance.

For the new plan, Council adopted a Moving Forward Model that will seek aggressive targets to address our housing needs. After receiving the plan, Council recommended that they continue to receive an annual update on progress towards the targets.

Styrofoam and Single Use Plastics

Council has received the report recommending a voluntary ban on single use plastics. Businesses will be encouraged to choose alternatives to single use plastics (utensils, straws, plastic bags). The report also removes Styrofoam from the curbside recycling stream. Styrofoam will be collected in clear bags and sent to the landfills as it is no longer a material that can be recycled. The public can help by choosing products and services from businesses that offer eco-friendly options. Council also asked that the City lead the voluntary ban wherever possible in municipal facilities and through purchasing standards.

Heritage Registry

Council received a presentation on listing properties on the Heritage Register. We currently have 81 individually designated properties and two heritage Conservation Districts (downtown Lindsay and Oak Street in Fenelon Falls). There are many more heritage resources throughout the municipality, particularly in rural areas.

Seven properties are proposed to be added to the Registry: • Christ Church Anglican Church, Bobcaygeon • Central Senior Public School, Lindsay • Cherry Tree Lodge, Sturgeon Point • Bank of Toronto, Omemee (Currently TD Bank) • Mackenzie Inn, Kirkfield • Old Bethany Post Office, Bethany • SS #12 (former local school), Oakwood (currently Oakwood Library)

Waste Management Strategy 2020-2024

The goal of the new Making Waste Matter: Integrated Waste Management Strategy is to guide Kawartha Lakes towards an overall residential diversion rate of 70 percent by 2048 through the phased implementation of strategically-chosen initiatives, operational updates and education activities. Since the Strategy was adopted in 2015, the residential diversion rate has increased from 39 percent to 43 percent, which is a great success for the municipality.

10-year housing and homelessness plan

Kawartha Lakes Council received the refreshed 2020-2029 Housing and Homelessness Plan, which builds on the achievements of the previous plan.

As a result of the previous plan, 81 new housing units were completed, 48 units are currently under construction and approximately 67 more units are in pre-development phases. To increase the supply of

Good Stories from Curve Lake First Nation

MANOOMIN – The Good Plant (Part 2) As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka

Last time, I was speaking about the good plant: MANOOMIN (wild rice). And I was recalling a time around 1975 when activities on Pigeon Lake were having a negative impact upon our MANOOMIN. Between the invasive milfoil and all the motorized boating, the wild rice was suffering.

The Trent Severn Waterway was oblivious to all this.

They were more interested in tourism and keeping the canal open. But yet the canal, in its building, caused destruction to the aquatic plant.

As I grew up and became a young man and still practiced but did not live on the land as I used to as a youngster, I noticed for some reason or another that the number of cottagers grew and grew and grew. For example, there were cottagers all around Birch Point, and other areas, but they really wanted to move into that marsh area on Pigeon Lake for some reason. They would take these big huge machines, like a big crane that threw a bucket out there and then they would drag it back in.

They were dragging out the shoreline and dredging the lake bottom. I was horrified by how much they got rid of without anybody saying anything to them about it.

The most drastic one that I remember was at Scollard Bay on Buckhorn Lake. They got rid of a beautiful ecosystem there including the last remnants of cranberries.

A cranberry marsh grew there. But not anymore.

It seems to me, people of the ‘cottage type’, although we do have the odd ally, want to get rid of that wild rice. Right? We cannot let that happen.

I am going to pray that that does not happen. And that if it does happen that I will want to pray to the MANITOS or the MANITOWAG (Great Spirits) to be able to help us and call on them to stop the destruction of that lake by the settler cottager.

And also to even call on the governments to stop permitting people to build on that marsh. It’s a huge marsh, was a huge marsh, and if you listen to the

stories of the ‘Old Ones’, that marsh produced so much food for us that it was actually quite an unbelievable phenomenon. Our training is such that we don’t overextricate or over-harvest anything – that would only happen in the modern context.

We still are interested in harvesting that MANOOMIN because, actually, we have an obligation to Creation that we be the stewards of the wild rice and that we look after it.

Some are convinced that this MANOOMIN is a bad plant when in fact they are the invasive ones – they are the invasive one, they invaded that marsh. Pigeon Lake is a shallow-water, very pristine, full of life, body of water that, on its own, is actually an ecosystem beyond compare.

Why are they getting rid of it? I would just like to think that at the time they didn’t know what they were doing.

But beyond today, let us hope that they know what they are doing and stop this activity. They are killing wild rice. They are pulling it out. They are dumping it back onto the lake. They do everything to get rid of it. All because they want to water-ski and run their toys on that lake with their motorboats.

I even proposed to stop boat activity on that side of the lake. It does a lot of damage to the marsh ecosystem.

I propose that there be no more expansion of cottages in that area – the ecosystem cannot afford that in terms of damage. It cannot afford it anymore.

We are at a point in time where we have to make a decision, we have to make decisions that are really tough. I get it, that they’ve invested on that piece of land but surely to Creation why did the governments allow this to happen? Right? Why doesn’t the government buy up all those properties and protect that water?

So this is the dilemma I am in because I love that lake. I grew up on that lake. I lived on that lake. I was fed by that lake. And today I see people destroying it.

In an age of climate emergencies, our marshes and wetlands in particular need to be protected because they actually defend us…but that is another story.

Let us work some magic for you.

Twenty five years ago, Margaret Davies was inspired to provide children involved in the KHCAS an opportunity for a week at camp where they could be just another “kid”, to provide healing and improved self esteem.

Since its inaugural year, the Dream Ball has raised nearly $1.5 million and made it possible for approximately 2,600 children to attend summer camp.

If you are interested in this year’s “Silver Celebration” and help in continuing the dream, tickets can be purchased at Scotiabank, 165 Kent Street, Lindsay or bay calling 1-800-661-2843 ext 1317.

CHORISTERS CORNER

By April Scott

The Choristers are excited about the upcoming concert. On Friday, December 6 at 7pm, Come on Ring Those Bells will be presented at Trinity United Church on William Street in Bobcaygeon. Everyone has been working hard to produce this Christmas concert.

We have some special guests for the event. The Mitchell Family from Omeeme will be there to entertain us with some Fiddle and Step Dance. The Anglican Church Handbell Choir will be accompanying a Carol sing for all. Of course, the Choristers will have some brand new Christmas songs to treat you.

I know some of you will be curious about the shortbread cookie sale. It is back by popular demand

and hopefully we will have more to sell. We do ask that you do not consume them in the Sanctuary. Save some room for the refreshments provided for you in the Church Hall after the concert and mingle with the Choristers and guests.

Until next time, we will continue to polish up our Christmas songs for you and make a lot of cookies.

Keep warm and visit our Facebook page. You may catch us at the Festival of Trees at Settlers’ Village where we will be doing some carol singing.

Health & Wellness FUNDING FOR RMH

Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton-Kawartha LakesBrock, recently announced $1.71 million in funding for Ross Memorial Hospital.

The investment is intended to address sector challenges and previous funding model inequities and help ensure that families in our region have access to high-quality care.

“Our community relies on investments like this to help us preserve and protect our care delivery, services and operations,” said Veronica Nelson, Interim President & CEO, Ross Memorial Hospital.

“Our team continues to provide exceptional care, and this funding will support us in managing capacity and wait times, so that patients and families can count on getting the best care, when and where they need it.”

Across Ontario, the government is investing an additional $68 million to support small- and mediumsized hospitals. “Our government is supporting small and medium-sized hospitals by recognizing the unique challenges they face and taking steps toward relief and a sustainable system,” said MPP Scott.

TANK REPLACEMENT AT RMH

At Ross Memorial Hospital, work has started to replace underground diesel tanks with a new above ground tank. The current underground tanks are located on the west side of the property. The new tank will be located above ground outside the exit of the ambulance bay, also on the west side. Digging started this week, and work will continue over the coming months, with estimated completion of the project in early summer 2020.

Work should not impact patients, families or visitors. Parking will be limited in the shortterm parking lot on the south side of the property throughout the project. Long-term parking should not be affected.

Give the gift of Health Gift certificates available on-line or call for details.

RECHARGEABLE HEARING AIDS MIGHT BE RIGHT FOR YOU

One of the most common complaints about most hearing aids is the inconvenience and expense of replacement batteries. Rechargeable hearing aids can reduce and often even eliminate that issue by utilizing lithium-ion batteries that can be recharged and reused again and again. Some rechargeable hearing aids can be fully charged in as little as two hours and can provide up to 24 hours of usage before needing to be charged again. Most rechargeable hearing aids have a lifespan between six and ten years. They are also an excellent choice for people with dexterity issues as they will avoid the hassle of changing the tiny batteries common in other types of hearing aids.

As long as these hearing aids are charged every night, they will last throughout the following day. The most important factor to look for in a rechargeable hearing aid is a long battery life after recharging. This is especially important if you plan to use advanced features like Bluetooth, as these will drain the battery faster than normal use does. When a hearing loss causes diminished communication in your life, it’s time to rediscover the benefits of healthy hearing. Begin with a hearing test at LINDSAY EAR CLINIC, and a consultation with a Doctor of Audiology.

P.S. Rechargeable hearing aids are popular in places with colder climates because their lithium-ion batteries experience little to no function loss in cold weather.

Horoscopes

November 14 to November 27 Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Make some tracks in the snow, Aquarius! Leave your mark wherever you go – your footprints are your way of showing the world who you are and what you believe in. Stand up for your values.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) It is important to think beyond the immediate problem, Pisces. Yes, it concerns you now. But you also need to focus on the outcomes of any decisions you make, and look further down the road.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Compromising is not a sign of weakness, Aries.

Rather, it is a sign of maturity to be able to recognize when to let go of certain ‘wants’ and move ahead. Life is full of give and take.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) A common regret at the end of life is unfulfilled dreams. Don’t let this be you, dear Taurus. Do you have some special wish that you’ve been harbouring, unsaid? Please choose to do it now. We mean it.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Winter – a new season. And like all new seasons, Gemini, it is a time of opportunity and growth. The world may seem like it is sleeping, but underneath the snow and cold it is planning and plotting for the days ahead. You can, too!

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) We all learn from our mistakes, Cancer, move on and, we hope, forgive ourselves. The important thing to remember is that others make mistakes, too, and we need to overlook them and let go of blame. It makes for a nicer world.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) You will face some serious struggles, Leo, in the coming days, but know you can share them with friends and families to help you through.

All will be well soon.

Municipal Bulletin Canal Street Reconstruction, November 21.

A public meeting to present the proposed design for the reconstruction of Canal Street in the Village of Bobcaygeon has been scheduled for Thursday November 21, 2019.

The meeting will run from 4pm to 6pm, with a presentation at 4:30pm. Come out to the Council Chambers located at the Bobcaygeon Municipal Service Centre on the 21 to join us for the open house public meeting.

For more information www.KawarthaLakes.ca

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) “Only surround yourself with people who will lift you higher.”: Oprah Winfrey. You know the people who will “lift you higher”, Virgo. And you know one who will bring you down. It is not a bad thing to rid yourself of toxic people – it’s for your own safety and health.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) The colour green may be significant during this phase, Libra. It has many meanings – envy and inexperience are some. But it also suggests newness. Which will it be for you?

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) You may experience a conflict with a loved one soon, Scorpio. Do not let it ruin the entire relationship. Communicate. Commit to resolving the problem, not intensifying it. Be willing.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) This is your time to relax a bit before your next big move - whether it’s a job change, or a change in attitude. Dear Sag, use this time for introspection and reflection.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) It’s not about you. It’s about them. You’ve heard this before, but now it is real to you, Capricorn. Other people have baggage and it affects their treatment of you. Don’t be thrown off by it. You know you are doing right!

LIBRARY UP FOR PRESTIGIOUS AWARD

By Stephanie McPherson

The Trent Lakes Public Library has made the short list for the Minister’s Award for Innovation for our LGBTQ Q-munity project. The award is one of the most prestigious awards for Public Libraries in Canada.

The Q-munity project helps to promote inclusiveness while combatting homophobia. Often in small rural areas, the LGBTQ community is

underserviced or neglected with limited access to resources and support. The Q-munity project at Trent Lakes Public Library not only helps LGBTQ members but also the rest of the patrons through education and awareness. The Q-munity project provides personalized knowledgeable service and credible information to help people through their journey.

For more information, please visit the Trent Lakes Public Library or visit the website at http://www. trentlakeslibrary.ca/books-dvds-resources/q-munitycollection.

Dying without a Notarized Will means you have absolutely “no say” about any of your assets or care for your children once you die. There are many people who think that a hand-written, signed and witnessed letter of direction should be enough, but it simply will not be accepted by a court of law as a substitute for a Will. Absolutely everyone should have a Will and at a cost of around $600, how can you afford not to!

Let’s just look at some of the immediate issues that will arise should you die without a Will. First, the Canadian Government will immediately become the Executor of all your assets: homes, bank accounts, investments, personal belongings, everything you own. Next, if there is no surviving spouse or adoptive parent, all minor children will become a ward of the province. Family members will need to petition to the government for custody and fill out the required applications through social services.

Once your estate assets have been audited, all fees and taxation will be deducted before any funds go to family. A surviving spouse is entitled to the first $200K, with the remainder to be split to all those family members that the government believes have a claim.

For minor children, any monetary portion of the estate will be placed in a Trust maintained by an appointed Trustee until the child is 18 years of age.

Getting a Will is the most important and most responsible thing you should do to ensure your hardearned assets and wishes are taken care of when you die. Don’t leave it up to a stranger at a government office to make decisions for your family. It is your duty as a good parent to protect your estate for your children as well as have some say for their future care.

You should also consider getting a Power of Attorney for Property and Medical Direction should you get into an accident and not be able to make decisions about your own care or your family.

This is your opportunity to leave your mark! Don’t forget to plan for your death when you are planning for your life! Remember it will be your “uninterrupted final message” when you die. Make sure you have control – Get a Will!
