OVER THE BACK FENCE

Now that the municipal elections are over and done, we can put the negativity to rest. The people have spoken (or at least some of them did) and our Mayors and Councillors elected can get on with the task at hand.

In this issue, we focus on Remembrance Day, a time to reflect on sacrifices made by the men and women who gallantly served our country in every war and conflict around the world. We honour those who lost their lives, families who lost loved ones and those brave soldiers who continue to risk their lives to fight for freedom.

For many of us, war is a remote situation. We can watch it on television or online. But we can’t feel the heat or the ever-present sense of danger in any of the areas our men and women are serving. We talk about the bravery of someone battling a life-threatening disease or physical challenge, but we really have no idea of the bravery it takes to walk into a war zone where you can’t identify who your enemy is. We cannot fathom the feelings of the men

who stormed beaches in Normandy or Vimy Ridge.

What we can do is honour the fallen by wearing a poppy, standing in silence on November 11 or paying respect at a memorial. Through the Yellow Ribbon Campaign, we can say thanks to our servicemen and servicewomen who are active now by sending goodies from home so they know they are in our thoughts. We’ve got some “thanks from Mali” letters received by Darlene Loucks, letting us all know how much those efforts are appreciated.

Our Remembrance Day section in this paper has a list of services you can attend, and our Legion listings of events every issue gives you a chance to support those who help veterans and their families year round.

UP FOR THOUGHT

I have recently retired and moved to Bobcaygeon and I would like to share something which sparked an enthusiastic conversation -- the topic that age is the last prejudice.

Society is fighting/re-educating for blacks, women, LGBTQ+, immigrants, physical and mental disability, culture, etc. (I am sure I missed someone).

But older people of our society are still stigmatized, tagged with negative labels and seen as less than worthwhile.

I find that I am talking a lot more about growing old, the attitudes and new physical restrictions as well as the not-so-complimentary labels and condescending looks. The initial opinion is that I should move aside for the younger generation. We have all had our time and it is their turn. The only real use left is being available to watch the grandkids. If we aren’t available for that, there is the fear we won’t see our kids at all.

I think what I missed in all of our conversations was not only that we are living longer (and for the most part healthier) but our children will be, too. So it should still be our job to show them that age is not a disability and it can be the time of your life where you can excel because you have the time to spend on yourself and reap the benefits of years of learning and experience.

Without us leading the way to change the prejudice and stigma of maturity, we doom the younger generations to the same doubts and fears and uncertainty we fight.

Just because we have more physical challenges only means that we have to approach them the same as any other life challenge that came our way. We have to figure out how to make the best of it and adapt. We have to stop thinking we are finished. We can lead by example, and continue to teach those younger that life is full, worthwhile and great, right up to the end and something to look forward to and value.

So let’s go back to school and perhaps get a degree, learn how to blog (a great way to pass along knowledge), make your passion for photography an income maker. I wrote a book. Whatever you always wanted to do…. Now is the time!

COBOCONK CHAMBER RESPONDS

Response to letter from Don Guillod in the October 18, 2018 issue

I always look forward to opening a new issue of The Promoter to read about topics and events that happen in our area and to learn more about opinions

that people in Kawartha Lakes have with respect to current affairs.

When I opened the October 18, 2018 edition, I was surprised, dismayed, and then angry that such a letter was published that contained so many unsubstantiated accusations, innuendo, and outright falsehoods. I would like to attribute this to confusion on the part of the author, but I am not so sure that this is the case.

I will deal with each point in his letter as follows:

First, the author states that “it is patently obvious to me that the only reason to expand the Coboconk Train Station building is to fill the Coboconk Chamber’s coffers with Provincial & Federal health dollars.” I find it very insulting to our volunteer Chamber Board Members that they could be accused of trying to rip off the Government. The attitude expressed by the author is one of the reasons that people don’t want to get involved and volunteer, as there seems to always be the do-nothings that like to throw out unsubstantiated accusations to attack good people who are just trying to make a difference. If the author has evidence that this is the reason that the Chamber is pursuing this Project, then please enlighten us; otherwise an apology for his unthoughtful accusations might be the right thing to do.

Next, the author states that “a new facility was erected on the east end of the property. It is larger than the former health site, with more parking spots, more space for patient care, offices and records storage. The builders even added a second rest room”. First, nothing was built. The ‘new facility’ is comprised of temporary trailers on wheels that you would find on many construction sites, rented by the City as a temporary stop-gap measure to be renewed by Council each year should they wish to do so.

We do agree that there is plenty of parking because the facility was set up in the middle of the Community Centre parking lot, which is great until there is an event in the Community Centre and there isn’t enough parking for the event.

If the City wants to serve its population, provide an environment to recruit and retain doctors, and

demonstrate an attractive community to new businesses and residents, then having your local Medical Facility housed in a temporary trailer in a parking lot is not the way to go.

Finally, the author states that “According to the article, the rationale for another move of Dr. Shabaz Warsi’s and his staff’s practise is to accommodate two or three doctors, a dentist and other complementary practitioners such as senior’s foot care, massage, physio and chiropractic care. That is a flawed rationale: just consult the fine folks in Kinmount who have been advertising for a second doctor for years.” I guess I had better tell my doctor that she doesn’t exist as there have been two doctors in Kinmount for quite a while now and they are not housed in a trailer. If it is a flawed

rationale to want to provide good medical care to our residents then why do we have local doctors at all? We might as well all wait until we are really sick and go to the Emergency Ward, as we know that you never have to wait in line there.

I am not sure where the author goes to get his health care, but all of the services that he described are needed now by our residents - and will be needed even more so in the future - in the north end of the City and we need a place to provide these services that doesn’t entail a trip to Lindsay.

We are very fortunate to have Dr Warsi in our community, but he cannot be expected to serve the entire area on his own. Also, we are exploring the model of several doctors for the new facility because we have been advised that the only way we will be able to recruit any health care professionals is to provide them with an acceptable place to work (this does not include a temporary trailer) in which they can work with other colleagues.

In conclusion, the Chamber welcomes any constructive input from any member of our community, and if anyone has any questions or concerns about any of the activities that we support or undertake, please contact us. We invite you to contact us to talk about the concept and how the plan is proceeding. We really welcome you to offer a helping hand as this is a huge project for a small group of volunteers to undertake with long-term positive benefits for so many in the northern end of the City. However - spreading misrepresentations only serves to besmirch the reputations and intents of our hard working volunteers that are just trying to make our little piece of paradise even better.

LETHAM AND NEW CKL COUNCIL ELECTED

By Kirk Winter

After a 24-hour extension in voting caused by software and server problems, the new City of Kawartha Lakes Council was finally announced.

Andy Letham will be returning for a second term as Mayor after beating off a strong challenge for Councillor Gord James. Letham finished first with 11,435 votes, while James finished second with 9,878 votes. Councillor Brian Junkin and Peter Weygang, from Bobcaygeon, rounded out the field receiving 2,724 votes and 1,007 votes respectively.

Ward One: Emmett Yeo will be representing Ward One after claiming a convincing victory. Yeo’s vote total of 1,213 was almost the equal of the combined votes for his three competitors.

Ward Two: Kathleen Seymour-Fagan emerged victorious from a very crowded field in Ward Two. Stephen Slack finished a distant second almost 300 votes behind Seymour-Fagan’s total of 1,112 votes.

Ward Three: In Ward Three, Doug Elmslie won the most comfortable victory of the evening rolling over his two opponents, with 2,047 votes to 810 for Roger McInnis and 382 for Stephen Clarke.

Ward Four: Andrew Veale showed surprising electoral strength in Ward Four registering a comfortable victory over his three opponents George Davidson, Ian Nicholson and John Pollard. Veale received 1,195 votes, followed by Nicholson with 763, Pollard with 365 and Davidson with 188.

Ward Five: Ward Five was a hard fought battle as well, with Pat Dunn returning to Council with 1,403 votes. Duncan Gallacher finished second with 1,049 votes, John Haggerty finished third with 919 votes, and Derrick Camphorst finished fourth with 646 votes.

Ward Six: Ward Six was the scene of some of the worst mudslinging in this entire election. In a bruising sevenperson race, where each candidate received at least 289 votes, Ron Ashmore will be the new Councillor with a narrow victory, garnering 666 votes. Two candidates, Pat Warren and Gerard Jilesen, finished close behind with 571 votes and 527 votes respectively.

Ward Seven: In Ward Seven, Pat O’Reilly defeated newcomer Charlie Clarke 2,832 votes to 1,086 votes in a competition that set the standard for good sportsmanship between the two competitors. Many wish all the Ward competitions could have been fought with the civility shown by Clarke and O’Reilly.

Ward Eight: In probably the biggest upset of the evening, Tracy Richardson won Ward Eight with 815 votes, defeating incumbent Heather Stauble who finished with 670 votes. The other four candidates in the ward shared the remaining 757 votes between them.

The real disappointment for many in the room was the depressingly low turnout with a little more than 25,000 votes cast, fewer than the last election. Total turnout is expected to be below 40 percent, and many are blaming the computerized voting system that many seniors in the CKL found difficult, or even impossible to use.

BACK TO THE FUTURE AT TRENT LAKES COUNCIL

By Deb Crossen

In the municipal election of 2014, Janet Clarkson, then Mayor of Trent Lakes, ran a race for Mayor and was defeated by Bev Matthews. Sitting in the Deputy Mayor Chair at the time was Ron Windover, who retained his seat beside Bev. The 2018 municipal election results in the Municipality of Trent Lakes have Clarkson and Windover side by side again for the next four years.

Clarkson, elected Mayor, defeated Peter Raymond in a hard-fought battle, coming out with just under 54 percent of the votes to Raymond’s 46 percent. For the Deputy Mayor’s chair, newcomer Adri Eastman received 44 percent of the votes to Windover’s almost 56 percent.

Kim Letto defeated Peter Franzen and Ed Dewhurst to take the position of Councillor for Harvey Ward with 52 percent of the votes.

Don Lacombe, a former Councillor for GalwayCavendish was defeated by Carol Armstrong who received almost 72 percent of votes.

Terry Lambshead returns to Council as Councillor at Large, defeating Greg Jackson with 65 percent of the votes.

The discouraging news in all of this is that only 35 percent of the eligible voters exercised their right.

I know the voting system was plagued with issues and can only hope that those with the power to make changes to the process take a good hard look for 2022.

FAMILY NEEDS OUR HELP

When a child in our community becomes gravely ill, friends and family pull together to help. There’s a 12-year-old girl in Fenelon Falls, Harmony Hutchings, who’s been diagnosed with Burkitt Lymphoma, a very aggressive form of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and is fighting for her life.

Lu Hensman, Harmony’s Mom, is very well known at the local Tim Hortons. Her dad, Rob Hutchings, is best known around Fenelon Falls for helping save a local man from a burning house back in April.

Since her diagnosis, Harmony has been in Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, receiving treatment. Her mom spends most of her time in Toronto with the little girl, while her Dad holds down the fort at home, caring for their other daughter, Jordan.

Friends of the family, Chris and Sherry Thompson are organizing an event on Saturday, December 15, to help raise much-needed money for the Hutchings family. Without a reliable vehicle, they rely on transit to get to and from Toronto. As well, making ends meet with medical and living expenses is a challenge for them.

Chris and Sherry are planning a dinner and dance, with an auction prior to the dance. They are looking for items for the auction – gift certificates, items or even vouchers from local businesses. Sherry is also asking for financial or other donations to help cover the costs of the event – food, DJ/band, venue, tickets, decorations, etc. -- and volunteers to help with the event. If you can help in any way, please email love4harmonyhutchings@ gmail.com or by message on their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Love4HarmonyHutchings.

TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS

By Shelley Bertram Fallis

With the leaves changing colour and dropping rapidly, our thoughts may be turning towards heading off to a warm winter-sun destination.

Hurricane season can be a wild card that changes your plans in a second. It raises a lot of questions for Canadians travelling to the most threatened spots like the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America and the east and Gulf coasts of the United States -- specifically, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.

The Government of Canada issues travel advisories on situations that may affect the safety and well-being of Canadians while travelling abroad. Depending on the risk level it may have implications to your travel insurance coverage. Consult https://travel.gc.ca/ travelling/advisories for up to date information on your destination.

Registration of Canadians Abroad is a free service that allows the Government of Canada to notify you in case of an emergency abroad or a personal emergency at home. The service also enables you to receive important information before or during a natural disaster or civil unrest. You can visit their website at https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/registration.

Q. If a hurricane watch or warning is issued that may impact my travel plans, up to what point can I still purchase travel insurance?

A. Insurance must be purchased 24 hours prior to when the hurricane has been named. Once the hurricane has been named losses occurring from the hurricane are excluded from coverage.

Q. What if I’m on vacation and a hurricane starts?

A. If you’re already at your destination when the hurricane hits, contact your travel insurance provider and the Canadians Abroad Office or local embassy, for information and assistance. Most insurance policies will cover you for mandatory evacuations due to ‘unforeseeable’ events. The strength and path can change quickly so it’s important to monitor local weather reports closely.

You may have lots of other questions regarding damage to your resort; cancelling a trip if a storm is tracking too close to your destination; or what to do about airport closures. Contact a local travel insurance provider for answers to these questions.

Stay safe this hurricane season and make informed decisions. Purchasing emergency medical, trip cancellation and interruption insurance as early as possible is always your safest bet.

Remembrance Day KEY ADVOCATE FOR VETERANS

By Kirk Winter

As Remembrance Day approaches, it is important that we recognize the value of providing services for returning veterans of Canada’s many conflicts.

The Royal Canadian Legion, first formed in 1925, plays a vital role in offering assistance and support to veterans and retired RCMP personnel coast to coast.

With 1,400 branches and 275,000 members, the Legion is the largest and most influential veteran’s organization in Canada. Their mandate is very simple: “Improve the lives of those who served, support our communities, remember the Fallen.”

With a Legion presence in most communities in Canada, they are often the first place a veteran turns for assistance. Legion representatives take great pride in their advocacy for all veterans regardless of conflict, and they are reasonably successful in improving the care and benefits available for veterans and their families.

Services available through the Legion include: assistance in dealing with Veterans Affairs, assistance and support as a service member makes the transition to civilian life, financial assistance to veterans and their families, and mental health support and advocacy for those suffering with PTSD. The Legion is particularly proud of their “Leave The Streets Behind” initiative that is making inroads into dealing with the very important issue of veterans’ homelessness.

The Legion also has a working arrangement with

the Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League to assist Allied veterans and their widows or widowers obtain financial assistance and support after they have moved to Canada. Many Canadians would be surprised by the number of former British service personnel who populate Legion membership rolls at their local Legion branch.

Legion services and programming are largely offset by membership dues, and the money raised by the Poppy Trust Fund. There are very few Canadians who have not worn a poppy at some time in their lives and proceeds from those poppy sales are placed in trust to be used for the care and benevolent support of veterans and their dependants.

As the Legion looks to the future, they are hoping to make stronger connections with the IraqAfghanistan war veterans who are often cool to Legion involvement. As many Legion members age, and branches are forced to rely upon associate members who are often the children or relatives of former service personnel, this group of 30-something veterans could be the foundation for the organization, allowing Legions to continue to provide their vital services and keep their doors open for the foreseeable future.

LETTERS FROM MALI

Last month, the Yellow Ribbon Campaign shipped 43 boxes of goodies from home to our troops in Mali.

Darlene Loucks, the organizer has started receiving letters from soldiers. In addition to Darlene posting them on facebook (The Yellow Ribbon Campaign), we are proud to print a few of them here.

November 1, 2018 - The Kawartha Promoter

“I work with Jason here in Mali and I just wanted to say thank you very much for all the items that you are sending on behalf of the Yellow Ribbon Campaign.

The generosity and thoughtfulness is what makes Canadians stand apart from all other countries in the world! We were able to share some of the packages with our German counterparts and they were very surprised and grateful as they said nothing like that exists in Germany.

As on any deployment, there are some folks here who have no family or their circumstances dictate that they do not receive mail so the packages you send help to lift spirits!

Know that everything you send is being shared with all of the folks here and that you are providing a piece of Canada here in Mali which is very much appreciated by everyone deployed!

Thank you,” Sergeant (OR-6) Brian Kelley

“I would like to say thank you to you and also all the people implicated, directly or indirectly, with your campaign.

It is quite pleasing to receive a care package personally intended by people I don’t even know.

I’m sure I am not the first one to tell you that it feels comforting to receive attention and support from people of our country, thousands of kilometers away.

It makes me even prouder to represent Canada abroad knowing that people like you are standing behind us.

I’ve seen, first line, the goodness of what you were doing in the Afghanistan era but I can reassure you that it still has the same result years later, here in Mali.

From all of us deployed here at Camp Castor, Mali, Thank you.”

“I hope this message finds you well. It is just after 2am over here but wanted to send a message that all the mail was delivered yesterday afternoon and we had extra hands helping this time.

A small update most of the soldiers have hit their 2 months away from home day mark now. Morale is still high, which is good to keep up with the high temperatures. We are back to the norm being warm 40s out. I try and check the forecast regularly to see if we start getting close to 45-50 I will fill the freezers during the night so it’s a surprise the next day for everyone to find freezies waiting for them.

I have found the perfect spot to hang the Canadian flag that was in one of the boxes. We are making a small hang out area for everyone to have a spot to go and relax. The area is called Coaches Corner and the shelter that will hold the fridge and freezer is made to look like a log cabin. Your flag will be hanging there for everyone to see. As soon as a picture get taking on Combat camera I will send you it.

We donated some of the freezies to the camp activity planner to survive running the army half marathon last weekend.

My team of 2 to 3 people is growing to help distribute all the boxes and we are still in the process of writing a small article about the Yellow Ribbon Campaign in our small camp weekly newsletter.

I am heading off to bed now. Thank you and your hard working team for everything!”

LONG-TIME THOMPSON’S EMPLOYEE RETIRES

Submitted by Katie Hartai

After almost three decades as a clothing sales associate for Thompson’s Ladies’ Wear in Bobcaygeon, Beverley Wesselink is ready to start a new wardrobe for retirement.

Wesselink says she will miss the friendships she has established with shoppers. “There have been people who used to come in and buy clothes for their kids. Now those kids are coming in and buying clothes for their moms. There are also a lot of people you only see at certain times of the year and it’s always nice to see them again.”

Wesselink left her job at Nuts and Bolts Hardware in 1991 to begin a new career at Thompson’s Ladies Wear. “It was quite a transition,” she says. “I went from running shoes and jeans into heels and a skirt.”

Thompson’s Ready To Wear was founded in 1950

by Ruth Thompson. It’s original name implied the product was sold in finished condition compared to clothing tailored to a particular person. To this day, the store is the second oldest independent clothing store in Ontario.

Wesselink says even after all these years she still gets excited to see new product. “It’s like Christmas all year around,” she says about opening boxes of new clothes.

Wesselink, who is now 72, says she hasn’t walked out of Thompson’s for the last time. “I am close enough I can peek in the window and if they are not busy I can come in. In a small town you always connect with the people you’ve worked with.”

Nancy Hartai, owner of Thompson’s Ladies Wear says Wesselink’s hard work and sense of humour will be missed around the store. “She certainly deserves to retire,” says Hartai. “I think it’s time she took some time out for Bev.”

Wesselink has no definite retirement plans yet, but she says they will come in the new year. “I just have to get my bearings because I’ve been getting up every morning and going to work for a long time. It will be nice to go when I want and see people who haven’t seen for awhile.”

You can wish Bev a happy retirement during business hours on November 29, 30 and December 1.

Choristers’ Corner

By April Scott

The weather has certainly gotten nippy and singing Christmas music doesn’t seem to be quite so silly. There is a great variety to look forward to at our next concert in December.

After the first round of practices with all four parts, we are now having Sectional practices, Sopranos and Altos, then Basses and Tenors. These are mainly for correcting any bad notations and practicing difficult parts in any section.

We already have one booking to perform our Christmas offering. Ross Memorial Hospital would like us to give patients, staff and visitors a miniChristmas concert on Monday, December 10 at 2pm.

This will be after our concert on December 7.

Plans are already in motion for us to sell Christmas Shortbread again this year. We ran out so quickly last year that I think the pressure will be on us to spend more time in the kitchen! A little bird told me that the Church would like the audience not to sample them in the Sanctuary - I guess it was a bit messy after the concert last year.

We must be doing something right as a number of new people have joined our choir. The only section that is lacking is the Tenor section. With only three of them sometimes they can’t be heard!

The fall colours have almost disappeared, very soon we will be changing the clocks and we all know what is just around the corner. Stay warm and we will talk to you next time.

MUSIC COUNCIL NOTES

By April Scott

Bobcaygeon Music Council enjoyed a very good year with Concerts in the Park. The Summer Camp program at Kawartha Settlers’ Village exceeded the expected number of students and the final total was 72. Both of these programs are run annually in the summer months.

A great deal of work goes into these programs the Artistic Director oversees the hiring of musicians and our Sponsors and Advertising Directors spend a great deal of their time looking after this. The Summer Camp is also a very time-consuming project for the Camp Director. Needless to say the results can always be seen.

Have you heard BOB lately?

BOB listened to you!

During the winter months, the Council brings some top notch musicians in various forms to Bobcaygeon -- instrumentalists, soloists and, sometimes, choirs.

That said, there is a concert on November 17 at Trinity United Church. There will be two more concerts in 2019.

This is a very brief look into the Council’s work in Bobcaygeon and I hope to continue to provide you updates as they happen.

Please note that we do have a Facebook page – The Bobcaygeon Music Council - and also a web site www.bobcaygeonmusic.com.

EDUCATION CONSULTATIONS

The Ontario Ministry of Education is reaching out to communities throughout the province to get feedback about the education system in Ontario.

Through telephone town halls, online surveys and email feedback, the goal of the consultation is to develop a system that will help prepare Ontario students for success, improve their academic achievement and equip them with the tools needed to enter the working world.

Family Fun At The Festival Of Trees Submitted by Robyn Barton

The Festival of Trees or F.O.T., is a four-day event where visitors stroll through Kawartha Settlers’ Village and see (and potentially win) the many trees, wreaths, garlands, and items that have been generously sponsored by businesses in the City of Kawartha Lakes (and some from even further afield).

The Festival of Trees goes Thursday, November 15 from 5pm to 9pm; Friday, November 16 from 5pm to 9pm; Saturday, November 17 from 10am to 9pm; and Sunday, November 18 from 11am to 3:30pm. Admission is $10 for an adult weekend pass while children aged 12 and under are admitted free.

Tickets can be purchased online at https://www.ticketscene. ca/events/22032/ or at Kawartha Settlers’ Village.

The Kawartha Lakes Festival of Trees wouldn’t be as successful as it is without the help of more than 300 volunteers.

Jobs include tree decorating, raffle ticket sales, operating the admission booths, and manning the different houses (just to name a few.) This is a great opportunity for high school students to obtain their community service hours.

The Kawartha Lakes Festival of Trees is organized by Kawartha Settlers’ Village.

Horoscopes

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Crunch time, Leo! We sense some anxiety in your life, whether with school or work deadlines, or the pressure to make decisions. Take a deep breath and know that all will go well and it will be over soon.

November 1 to 14

Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Take responsibility for your own thoughts and feelings – and mistakes – dear Aquarius. No one can make you feel a certain way or do something except you and you alone, so do not put the blame on anyone else.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Share your life with someone today, Virgo. Just a tiny bit of who you are and what makes you special. It will enlighten the person with whom you share, so that they will know and understand you better, and it may result in reciprocal sharing, too.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Be humble. Be teachable. This is the best way to learn about life. Put your ego aside, Pisces, and accept the lessons of others.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Please pay special attention to your health in the coming weeks, dear Libra. Without good health, nothing else matters. Find ways to self-care, and then make sure you follow through.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) “Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.”: Zora Neale Hurston. Yes, indeed, Aries, love is very powerful and, if it is real and “meant to be”, it will make you a better person, and open your heart.

So, look out for this love!

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Call your friends, Taurus! Don’t let the days slip by without making contact – with old friends and new. You will be happy and pleased with the results.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) November can be a very dull and gloomy month, Gemini, and it can affect one’s mood. So please find time to brighten up your world. Add some colour to your attire, surround yourself with little things that you find beautiful, and enjoy the natural wonders around you.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Everyone has their own unique strengths and weaknesses, Cancer, as we are sure you are aware. But it is part of the great adventure of life to discover your own gifts and use them to your advantage and for the best of society.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) It is the simple things in life that bring us most joy, Scorpio. Don’t worry about attaining unatttainable things. Focus on the little things. They add up to the best things!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) “To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, and be nothing.”: Elbert Hubbard (often mis-attributed to Aristotle). That’s right, Sag, the only way to avoid criticism is to disappear. Someone will always have something negative to say. There is no escaping that. So welcome criticism. It shows that people are noticing you!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) You need to stay motivated, Capricorn. There will be many days when things are not looking the best. Please remember that brighter days are ahead.

COLOURFUL COMMUNITY GARDEN

Submitted by Elly Millington

United Way for the City of Kawartha Lakes is embarking on a very exciting new Community Garden project in partnership with Crayola Canada, Fleming College Frost Campus, and Bob Mark New Holland.

The garden will take up 30,000 sq. ft. of unused land at Crayola Canada that will enhance the availability of fresh produce for programs such as the Good Food Box, collective kitchens, Meals on Wheels, cooking classes, food banks, and food cupboards.

Fleming College will provide expertise, while also offering students unique learning opportunities through school projects and volunteering. Bob Mark New Holland will be providing equipment and expertise as they volunteered to do our first ground breaking in October of 2018.

The community garden will be a closed space, fenced in and locked, with access limited to staff and volunteers from United Way and Fleming College, as

Health & Wellness HOW SWEET IT IS

By Deb Crossen

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and on November 14 is World Diabetes Day. So we should talk about it.

According to Diabetes Canada, 11 million Canadians are living with diabetes or prediabetes.

Every three minutes, another Canadian is diagnosed.

Chances are, you know someone affected by the disease.

Our bodies need energy and we get that energy from sugar. We get sugar into our bodies from foods like bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, milk and fruit. To use this sugar, the body needs insulin, a hormone that helps control the level of sugar in your blood.

Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body either cannot produce insulin or cannot properly use the insulin it produces. Diabetes leads to high blood sugar levels, which can damage organs, blood vessels and nerves.

About 90 percent of people with Diabetes have type 2 Diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes more often develops in adults, but children can be affected. Depending on the severity of Type 2 Diabetes, it may be managed through physical activity and meal planning, or may also require medications and/or insulin to control blood sugar more effectively.

In 1921, luckily for those suffering from Type 2 Diabetes, Canadian Dr. Frederick Banting discovered insulin. Over the years, researchers have honed his discovery into a user-friendly form, making it easier for people to give themselves the medication they need to control their blood sugar levels.

You can live a long and healthy life with or without diabetes by keeping your blood sugar levels in the target range set by you and your healthcare provider. You can do this by: • Eating healthy meals and snacks

• Enjoying regular physical activity • Monitoring your blood sugar using a home blood glucose meter • Aiming for and staying at a healthy body weight • Taking diabetes medications including insulin and other medications, if prescribed by your doctor • Managing stress effectively Always ask your healthcare provider to help you understand your disease. There are some great sources and information online at www.diabetes.ca.

AWARENESS FOR MEN’S HEALTH ISSUES

Movember is the month formerly known as November, where men and women join together to raise awareness and funds for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s mental health.

Starting clean-shaven on November 1, men can sign up at Movember.com to donate their face for 30 days by growing and grooming the best moustache they can muster. These “Mo Bros” effectively become walking, talking billboards for men’s health raising funds and awareness along the way. Women (also known as Mo Sistas) play a key supporting role by signing up as team captains, recruiting Mo Bros, helping to raise funds, and encouraging the men in their life to take action when it comes to their health.

Prostate Cancer According to the Canadian Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide. Men who are of African or Caribbean descent, and men who have a family history (a brother or father with prostate cancer), are 2.5 times more likely to get prostate cancer.

If you’re 50 years of age, you should be talking to your doctor about PSA testing. If you’re of African or Caribbean descent, you need to start that conversation at 45. If you have a brother or father

with prostate cancer in their history, you should also have a test at age 45.

The PSA test is a simple routine blood test. It’s used to determine the measurement of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) concentration in the blood.

You should be talking to your doctor about whether testing is right for you.

Currently, 1 in 7 men will develop prostate cancer during their lifetime, and 1 in 27 will die of it, a ratio of 1 death per 4 diagnosed, which is very similar to the ratio observed for breast cancer in women.

Testicular Cancer Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young Canadian men aged 15 to 29 years of age.

For the majority of men who are diagnosed, the prognosis is good.

An estimated 1,100 Canadian men were diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2017 and an estimated 45 died from the disease.

Mental Health Issues According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, around the world there have been studies, surveys, web networks, journals and newspaper articles that are just now shedding light on a shadowy subject: men’s mental health.

Among the findings is the revelation that new fathers are also vulnerable to postpartum depression.

In Canada, young and middle-aged men are being hospitalized for schizophrenia in increasing numbers. The gender gap among people with mental illness is much narrower than might be suspected.

The StatsCan Canadian Community Health Survey on mental health and well-being found that 10 percent of men experienced symptoms of the surveyed mental health disorders and substance dependencies, compared to 11 percent of women.

The greatest evidence of male vulnerability is in suicide statistics. Among Canadians of all ages, four of every five suicide victims are male.

The largest barriers to men’s mental health is male and societal attitudes, according to the Toronto Men’s Health Network. In our culture and society men are expected to be strong and are punished if they deviate from this norm. Weakness and emotional vulnerability is not considered to be ‘masculine’. It tends to be easier for men to talk about physical ailments in comparison to emotional ones. This is likely why mental health concerns tend to go undiagnosed.

We have to start paying attention to men’s

health issues and put more money toward research and awareness. You can find out more information at https://ca.movember.com/mens-health/mentalhealth.

LET’S TALK ABOUT WEED

By Deb Crossen

October 18 was a day of celebration for many people across Canada – the day the Federal government made marijuana legal.

I personally have some reservations (you knew I would!) about handing out a known narcotic to whoever wants to use it.

Don’t get me wrong, I know there are substantial medical benefits to the “devil weed.” Doctors have prescribed the medical marijuana as a pain reliever for people suffering chronic pain for years. For many people it works just fine. But that marijuana, according to my pharmacist, does not contain THC, the ingredient known for its hallucinogenic properties. The use of medical marijuana is monitored by your doctor and regulated to ensure good drugs are not mixed with bad.

I believe there should be higher (pardon the pun) penalties for those who are caught driving while high, especially if there are young people involved. I believe someone should be watching out for our children, because many parents aren’t doing it even now. I believe the door should be shut tight on this whole legalization if there’s an increase in death due to the use or misuse of the drug.

I don’t want to see this next generation become dependent on the drug (and that includes alcohol, too) to help them avoid emotional pain and stress.

I know it sounds cliche, but we grow stronger by feeling pain and working through it.

With the opioid crisis, higher than acceptable suicide rates among young people, the number of people killed by impaired drivers, I think it’s important to realize that we cannot hide our heads in the sand when it comes to dealing with this. We can’t just say, “hey, it’s okay ... here’s a doobie.”

Let’s hope that our government officials on every level think this one through.

HITTING THE BEACH

Even though the snow is looming, it’s always a good idea to think back to what a great summer we had. Two local girls had a fantastic summer, and brought home gold from the beach!

Riley Galla and Julia Cossarin, both avid volleyball players at their schools, got interested in beach volleyball and started training by Soul BeachV in Peterborough on June 11.

The pair went on to their first tournament at Ashbridge’s Bay in Toronto at the end of June, winning Gold in the U14 Female Trillium Division D. On July 8, they placed second in Cobourg in the U14 Female Challenger Division and took first place in Cobourg on July 15 in the U14 Female Challenger Division.

August 11 and 12, the team went back to Ashbridge’s Bay for the Ontario Volleyball Association Beach Provincial championships coming home with the gold medal.

Their summer of success is a remarkable achievement, considering they played together on the sand for only two months. Congratulations!

Kawartha Lakes Food Source (KLFS) has been granted $97,000 to fight poverty in the City of Kawartha Lakes. “We were one of 3 nominated in Ontario and are honored to be chosen to represent our Province,” said Heather Kirby, General Manager. Kirby added, “We demonstrated our ability to find new and creative ways to get food to people. We are in a position to create lasting change in our community.”

“We are tremendously grateful to The Enterprise Holdings Foundation and Food Banks Canada for supporting KLFS in creating new and innovative programs that will allow us to better meet the changing needs of our community,” stated KLFS Board Chair Dennis Geelan.

This funding will be used for a feasibility study to determine the needs of our community and how KLFS can best meet those needs; a partnership program with local restaurants and caterers to package viable food at the end of service into individual freezer meals for clients will be especially beneficial for those with limited cooking facilities (e.g. limited to a microwave) and for singles who may have difficulty cooking

nutritious meals for one; and the opening of two new food banks in City of Kawartha Lakes.

Community consultations have taken place to discuss the pilot of a shopping style food bank in Lindsay at the KLFS distribution center. The plan will also include a food bank in Kinmount to serve the needs of residents in the northern City of Kawartha Lakes communities.

Traditionally, the role of the food bank was to bridge the gap in life events such as job loss or economic emergencies. However, food insecurity and not having enough is a reality now for many Canadians, due to a variety of economic and social issues. This grant will increase what KLFS can do within our community by increasing food security and access to healthy food. KLFS can work to alleviate poverty in our community by empowering and educating clients to stretch their food when needed.

PILLOW FIGHTS ARE OVER

Submitted by Kim Coulter

Pillow fights are not what one would expect to hear about in a hospital finance department. But over 25 years as Vice President of Resources at Ross Memorial Hospital, Leo Boyle was well aware of their impact: how pillows migrated through the hospital, how some units were in constant need of them, and how they were worn and regularly needed replacing.

Thanks to those who made donations to the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation in Leo’s memory last October, the Boyle family is helping solve the problem.

Early in October, in a delivery that resembled a billowy cloud, 490 new pillows arrived at the Ross Memorial Hospital. Next year, another 490 pillows will be delivered, ensuring every patient is as comfortable as possible.

Erin Coons, RMH Foundation Executive Director, says, “Something as small as a comfortable pillow can make a big difference in a patient’s stay. We’re happy to be able to match this memorial gift with a need that’s so meaningful to Leo’s family. It’s a gift that comforts everyone involved. And knowing what a warm and caring person Leo was, we know he’d love this.”

A CAPITAL EXPERIENCE

Local MP Jamie Schmale wrapped up three days of meetings with area secondary school students as part of the third annual Capital Experience program.

The two students from each of the riding’s seven secondary schools were given a first-hand look at possible post-secondary career opportunities through a series of visits and interactions with individuals, groups and organizations in Ottawa from October 21 to 23.

“This is really a wonderful opportunity for me to work directly with some of our youth,” said Schmale.

“The program provides them with potential career opportunities they may not have previously considered or been aware of.”

The students were able to attend meetings with the Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates, the Chief Herald of Canada, the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada, Andrew Scheer the Leader of the Official Opposition, as well as Tim Powers and Katlyn Harrison (a graduate of I.E. Weldon) from SUMMA, a government relations firm.

“The Capital Experience was an amazing opportunity,” said Sam Collins of Lindsay Collegiate and Vocational Institute. “It showed me the many different career paths available to me.”

“This has been a life changing experience,” added Shaun Soutar of Fenelon Falls Secondary School.

“It inspires student leaders to pursue their future aspirations.”

“We’ve learned so much the past few days,” said Crestwood Secondary student Fernanda Haro. “I found

A HAUNTING GOOD TIME

Submitted by Patricia Sheppard

With shrieks that could be heard from the parking lot, more than 3,000 people attended this year’s Haunted Village at Kawartha Settlers’ Village.

The Haunted Village has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a suggestion by a visiting historical reenactment group. Bruce Hobley, one of the founders of the Haunted Village says it’s the people who make the event successful. “People get really creative.

Those who started this with me, they were all around my age, now we all have canes”.

“Obviously it was an idea whose time had come,” says Hobley. “We didn’t know if anyone would come, that year we had 600 people”.

Behind the scenes, the enthusiasm of the volunteers is the real heart of the night.

At the Kimble House, it’s a family affair. Liana Oliver started bringing her kids, now she and her family run the apple bobbing activities. A former teacher, she loves the event because she gets to help out and enjoys the spirit of community while visiting with former students.

The feelings of excitement bubble over at the haunted maze, a project by local Grade 7 and 8 students. The students spent the week leading up to the night of the Haunted Village preparing the maze.

Aiden Fagan said, “We won’t scare the little kids, but anyone from grade three and up, we’re going to scare them good.” The section of the maze designed by Aiden and his friends was called Hall of Horrors and featured 80’s classic horror characters like Michael Myers, Pennywise, Chucky, Jason and The Nun. At The Henderson House, Marie Stokx told the story of the Wickerman. Visitors were encouraged to write wishes and place them inside the wicker casing.

The event includes local businesses as well.

The Muir House played host to Kawartha Mediums.

Debra-Claire Kemp and Emalee Kidman are a motherdaughter duo who co-own the Zen Den in downtown Bobcaygeon. “We were thrilled when we were approached to participate in this event,” Debra said.

The Haunted Village takes place every October.
