From my perch

Bend in close. I’ve got a secret to share.

It’s about Bobcaygeon’s Wilderness Park—a little gem, a natural delight within the village limits.

Wilderness Park shouldn’t be a secret. A few people do use it regularly.

I meet them when I go walking there— and I go often, on lunch hours or after work.

But I’m amazed by the number of Bobcaygeonites I meet who say they’ve never heard of it. When I mention it, they reward me with a head scratch and a blank stare.

So for those who don’t know, Wilderness Park (wildernesspark.ca) is an eight-acre patch of forest with maintained trails in the north corner of the village. Head out of town on CKL Road 36 from the stop sign at 49 you’ll find the signed entrance on your right just past Lakes Community Church.

The access road—and the park— actually border the southern boundary of Trent Lakes waste and recycling transfer station.

In spring, summer and fall it’s a beautiful place to walk—and “forest bathe” as the Japanese say. If the bugs aren’t bad, I may sit for a bit at one of the picnic tables, or the benches in the woods—or gather mushrooms.

I’ve seen foxes and hawks there, and last winter came across the skeleton of a coyote-killed deer.

In the winter, I ski. I follow the trails, or if the snow is deep enough, I’ll do a little yo-yoing, climbing up and skiing down the small hillsides— winding through the trees, “shredding the pow”.

It’s a gift to the village from Environmental Action Bobcaygeon, and the more than 50 volunteers who have helped develop and maintain it.

Enjoy it.

Test where you live

I do not disagree with the initial argument put forth by Jody Benson regarding the proposed new bylaw (Driving school bylaw a mistake, Oct. 21, page 4). I also agree that the cause for the new bylaw may very well be the “influx of Toronto driving schools” to our area.

But after bringing up a perfectly good point about how “students must have confidence” in all traffic situations, how can Benson, as an instructor, apparently condone this practice of Toronto driving schools working our much slower streets?

Do they spend money in our area or at the mall, as you say? No, not anything worth mentioning.

They come to get their licenses and then are fast gone back to the big smoke.

The Toronto instructors do not bring them up here to teach. They do that back in the city, on empty roads in subdivisions under construction.

They bring them up here only to obtain their permits—because they are scared of their students not passing on the busy streets of the city.

Surely as an instructor, you must understand how wrong it is to allow a person to take a test in a relatively slow-moving region, where they will not be doing the bulk of their driving.

This practice, of course, clearly contradicts your previous very smart point of teaching in a confidence-building environment.

As a driving instructor, you and your local representative should be approaching the province to change the rules. There should be provincial laws enacted so you have to take your driving test in the same postal code that will appear on your drivers license.

Our playground is not a dog park

The students at Bobcaygeon Public School look forward to enjoying their outdoor gym time and recess. To their surprise, they regularly find animal waste on the yard and in the sandbox, specifically cat and dog poop.

This makes some students sad, other students mad, and many students disappointed, as they often have to stop playing in the sand and surrounding fields, so the animal waste can be disposed of.

When discussing our frustration about the matter, some students said the waste poses a health risk to the students because they could pass the harmful bacteria from the waste into their body if they get it on their hands.

“We could even get pink eye,” said one kindergarten student.

Another group of kindergarten students also talked about how they dislike the smell of poop in their playground. It makes them feel nervous to run around and play tag because they’re afraid they will step in it.

A classmate took it a step further adding that if they stepped in the waste, it could end up in the classroom and stink up the school. Gross.

Our kindergarteners are considerate students.

They think it would be unfair for the custodians to have to clean this up.

As a class, we discussed how we could solve the problem. The solution offered from our kindergarten class is simple: Keep dogs on a leash, stoop and scoop the poop, and take it with you to dispose of it off school property.

As a reminder, the students have worked hard to create and post signs around the schoolyard. Please respect the students’ wishes so that they can fully enjoy the outdoors at school.

What about the other 97 percent?

I found this when I was looking for contact information on our MP Jamie Schmale’s website, and was a bit surprised.

asked to hear from all Canadians,” said Schmale.

“Electoral reform is an important issue that impacts all Canadians and joining a number of caucus colleagues across the country, I sought the wishes of local residents on this national issue.” (See We want to vote on voting, page 8)

In Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock 2,446 ballots were cast, and 87 percent (2,127 votes) of respondents were in favour of a referendum on electoral reform while 11.7 percent (286 votes) were opposed, and 1.3 percent (33 votes) were undecided.

But the electoral district of Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock has a population of 110,182 with 91,802 registered voters. This conveniently omits the fact that 89,356—more than 97 percent of the registered voters—did not cast a ballot.

Nor do we know how many of the 2,446 ballots cast were held by registered voters.

A representative sampling it is not. But should we be surprised?

“I sought the wishes of local residents on this national issue,” says Schmale.

Indeed.

We need larger recycling bins

City Hall Halving council is biggest decision since amalgamation

By Pat Warren

Kawartha Lakes council decided Oct. 17 to cut the number of city councillors in half—from 16 to eight. The historic change will be implemented for the 2018 municipal election, once ward boundaries and representation are ironed out.

This decision—like it or not—is probably the city’s biggest since amalgamation. And unlike the 2001 amalgamation, dictated by the province, this one is “Made in Kawartha Lakes.”

Ward 4 Councillor Andrew Veale proposed the motion to cut to eight councillors (seconded by Isaac Breadner—Ward 11), and to ask staff to detail the pros and cons of two options for implementing the change.

Council was elected to make the tough decisions, said Veale. If council is asking everyone in the city to do more with less it should include itself in that challenge.

The first option would see four wards with two councillors each, and the second would have eight wards with one councillor each. Staff were asked to report back by the end of January.

The motion passed 13 to 4, with councillors John Pollard (Ward 8), Emmett Yeo (W2), Heather Stauble (W16), and Brian Junkin (W7) voting against it.

Breadner said the majority of constituents he has spoken with favoured the cuts, a comment that was echoed by Pat O’Reilly (Ward 11).

Before the Oct. 17 decision, council heard from the public through an online survey, letters and emails, and Mayor Andy Letham’s numerous “town hall” meetings late last spring. Staff said they received input “from all wards, providing a reasonable cross section of the municipality.”

In the online survey, staff reported, 74 percent of respondents wanted to cut back to either eight or 12 councillors. Thirty percent wanted two representatives per ward, and 20 percent wanted to keep the16 wards and councillors.

But Stauble felt a survey response of only 300 people was not enough. She said urban and rural representation is critical and does not believe the reduction will save money.

“The people don’t understand that their representation will be diminished,” said Junkin.

“They need to elect better councillors, not less.”

Yeo argued that representation should actually be increased, while Pollard favoured a 25-percent

reduction rather than 50 percent.

Ward 6 Councillor Doug Elmslie’s friendly amendment seeking more public consultation before voting was not accepted. Ward 5 Councillor Stephen Strangway’s motion to defer—to allow more time for consideration on such a major decision— also failed.

“We didn’t ask everyone about wind turbines,” noted Ward 10 Councillor Pat Dunn. “Delaying isn’t going to make a difference.”

Mayor Letham said the eight-councillor option—with a new support system—is the best way to create a more efficient team. “We will be offering an efficient streamlined government. We are going to make it work.”

Gord Miller (W3) said he felt that fewer councillors may actually speed up council processes, while Gord James (W12) noted: “we were elected to make decisions.” Mary Ann Martin (W15)—who originally said she would prefer a reduction to 12 councillors—also spoke for the motion.

The choice to reduce the number of councillors cannot be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board—but ward boundary decisions can.

CKL seeks sustainability in 2017 budget

Sat. Nov. 26 TH

Even though the proposed 2017 budget for Kawartha Lakes is still looking at a 4.6 percent jump, both Mayor Andy Letham and CAO Ron Taylor say the city is moving in the right direction.

“We’re heading away from the dangers of raiding reserves to fund operating costs,” says Letham, “and now we’re finding efficiencies in delivering core services and investing those savings in our capital programs.”

Using its own budgetary savings and new government grants, the city is proposing to invest $2.7 million more in capital projects for 2017 than in 2016. It’s the first time in years the city has invested heavily in capital.

It is also earmarking $8 million in 2017 for a new city office space to house Human Services and 24 new social-housing units.

The project should be cost neutral—by reducing reliance on third-party leasing for office space—and will increase the number of affordable-housing units while adding an energy efficient multi-purpose building to capital assets. Several departments worked together to find an innovative solution to meet several city needs at once.

“We are doing exactly what we set out to do,” says CAO Ron Taylor. “We are closing the gap between revenue and financial pressures.”

The long-term goal, he says, “remains to provide

newer facilities and enhanced services through predictable cost-of-living tax increases and strategic investments.”

Here’s some other things the city has to say about how the budget is coming together: • As council requested, staff have identified more than $2.5 million in cost-reduction options.

Upcoming council decisions will address items like a $1 million reduction in personnel costs, and strategies to defer new public works vehicle purchases by extending the life of current vehicles.

• Administration continues working to streamline operational staffing.

• Most departments have kept budgets within a costof-living increase—with operational increases either part of union agreements already in place, or related to external inflation costs.

Council will consider the Capital Budget and Water and Wastewater Budgets in November, and the Operating Budget in December. All documents are available online at city.kawarthalakes.on.ca under City Hall/Departments/Budget and Financial Planning.

Kawartha Lakes roundup

KC 2.5 percent budget hike: Kawartha Conservation is asking the city for $34,717 or 2.5 percent more in its 2017 budget than the 2016 figure. “In preparing this budget our staff and our board were very aware and respectful of the city’s financial challenges,” said KC CAO Rob Messervey.

“We also recognized that one of the city’s Top 10 Strategic Priorities identified in their Strategic Plan is to protect and enhance water quality,” he explained, adding that “as part of this budget we have been able to leverage $283,000 from outside sources.”

No Driving School bylaw: After hearing from Young Drivers of Canada representatives, council decided to take no action on a staff report recommending a bylaw to regulate the activities of Driving Schools in Lindsay (see letter, Driving school bylaw a mistake, Oct. 21, page 4; article, Driving school bylaw could ruin business, Oct. 31, page 6; and letter, Test where you live, page 4, this issue).

Heritage districts get go-ahead: After in-depth

studies for the Oak Street neighbourhood in Fenelon Falls and for Downtown Lindsay, council has approved creating Heritage Conservation Districts in both areas. These are areas with distinctive heritage characters that should be conserved for future generations.

Keep snow routes clear: Overnight parking restrictions on city streets began again for the winter season on Nov. 1—and will run to next April 30.

Parking is not allowed on city streets or in municipal parking lots (except by permit) between 11 pm and 6 am. In the following downtown areas the restrictions don’t begin until 2 am: Kent Street West from Lindsay Street to Victoria Avenue (Lindsay); Bolton Street from King Street to Canal (Bobcaygeon); Colborne Street from Water to Bond Streets, May Street from Water to Francis, and Francis Street West from Colborne to Francis (Fenelon Falls); King Street from Queen Street to Sturgeon Road (Omemee). A vehicle parked where it should not be may be impounded and fines levied.

Pushy people: Kawartha Lakes Police has received complaints of uniformed persons wrongly claiming to be city staff attempting to gain access to homes in the area. Residents should scrutinize any photo ID carefully, looking particularly for the city logo, and checking for nearby CKL vehicles to confirm the person is really city staff. If you have concerns, contact CKL’s Water and Wastewater Division or Kawartha Lakes Police. You are not obliged to let anyone into your home. Although the city does sometimes do lead sampling at private residences, none is currently being done. When it is, you’ll find it posted on the city website.

Library closures: Kawartha Lakes Public Library branches in Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Lindsay and Woodville will be closed on Friday, Nov. 4, so staff can participate in training sessions.

New party challenges councillors

Responses will be collated and tabulated and the results posted on the SMP website at socialmediaparty.ca. Party secretary Peter Weygang warns in an email to the councillors that no response “will be interpreted as a negative response.”

The questions are: • Are you committed to the concept, support, and implementation, of Direct Democracy in the City of Kawartha Lakes?

• Are you prepared to actively work towards the re-establishment of the regions, and political structure, of Victoria County as it existed prior to amalgamation?

• Will you insist that voting in the next municipal election be done by the traditional, verifiable, and transparent, method of the paper-and-pencil ballot box?

In notes accompanying the questions, the SMP asserts that the people have an inalienable right to self determination by governing themselves directly—quoting Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg address and referencing the birth of democracy in Athens, Greece in 509 BCE.

They note that Hitler, Stalin, Saddam Hussein, and Bashar al-Assad, were all legally elected by the political party system in their countries, aka representative democracy.

“The people of Victoria County were served better by their smaller, local governments,” says the SMP correspondence. “They felt closer to, and more involved in, the decision making process. Financial matters were handled much better, and with more consideration for the impact on taxpayers.”

They add a concern that some of the voting machines used in the last municipal election were defective, and serious errors may have occurred.

“Hand tallied scores, supervised by scrutineers, is the only system that satisfies the stringent requirements of elections.”

We want to vote on voting

Local MP Jamie Schmale says nearly 90 percent of the people who responded to his questionnaire across Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock favour a referendum on electoral reform.

In the riding, 2,446 people cast ballots and 87 percent of them (2,127 votes) want a referendum on electoral reform, 11.7 percent (286 votes) were opposed, and 1.3 percent (33 votes) were undecided.

Nationally 81,389 ballots were cast, and 91 percent (73,740) of respondents were in favour of a referendum, 8.1 percent (6,622) were opposed, and 1.3 percent (1,027) undecided.

“The Special Committee on Electoral Reform asked to hear from all Canadians,” said Schmale.

“Electoral reform is an important issue that impacts all Canadians. I believe that it’s important that all Canadians, not just politicians, have clear input on an issue that will affect the way we elect our country’s leaders.”

He said “the results are clear. A referendum is what Canadians want and expect when it comes to electoral reform because when you change the rules of democracy, every Canadian deserves a say.”

“Our constituents are engaged, they are passionate and they deserve to have their voices heard,” he said.

‘Speak for your environment’— Commissioner

By Julia Taylor

Comments to the government on environmental issues “really, really matter,” Ontario’s Environmental Commissioner Dianne Saxe told local folks recently when she visited Kawartha Conservation to speak about climate change, energy and environment, and to hear about local action and emerging issues.

Unique, thoughtful, quality comments do get attention, promised Saxe, who spent 40 years as an environmental lawyer. “If you don’t speak up, who will?” She said everyone has information about their own local issues that her office needs to know.

She urged people to use Ontario’s Environmental Registry to speak up. Citizens’ comments to the registry have helped inform many government decisions, she said. It’s the best route for the public to comment on or appeal issues.

The registry is currently asking for comment on amendments to the Bill of Environmental Rights. “In Canada we have a world-leading Environmental Bill of Rights.” It requires the commissioner to be non partisan, but not neutral. And with it comes the Environmental Registry.

Other topics open for comment on the registry include: the long-term energy plan, electric-vehicle incentives, permits to take water for bottling, and a wetlands strategy.

Saxe described herself and her 23 staff as “the guardians” of the Environmental Bill of Rights. Her office, she said, is like a “can opener” (to access often hidden information) and “a megaphone” (to bring information and issues to public and government attention).

The office produces three reports a year—always based on proven, reliable, relevant research—to help the government and public with policy debate.

The first, on energy, is available now. The next two,

on climate change and the environment, will be available in the coming months.

Find out more about Saxe and her reports at eco.on.ca. Follow the environmental registry on twitter @ONT_ECO. To access papers for comment, search key words on ebr.gov.on.ca.

By shank’s mare in Bobcaygeon

Environmental Action Bobcaygeon (EAB) told community members at two recent Open House meetings about their plan to make Bobcaygeon better for walking and cycling

The plan, prepared with a $52,600 Trillium grant, will 1) identify safe and scenic routes for pedestrians and cyclists, 2) add interpretive signage to highlight the community’s natural features, municipal parks, heritage buildings, and First Nations and other historic points of interest, and 3) look at improved street landscaping, streetlights, traffic lights and pedestrian crossings.

Local MPP Laurie Scott said besides helping “improve the conditions for pedestrians and cyclists,” the project will also “encourage tourism in this beautiful part of our province.”

The plan “will capitalize on existing road/ sidewalk/trail infrastructure and other public lands to create the best possible experience for users of all ages and physical abilities,” said Richard Fedy, EAB co-president. The aim is to encourage a healthier, more active lifestyle.

In 2013, EAB partnered with the city to build Wilderness Park (wildernesspark.ca), a beautiful little eight-acre park in the northeast corner of Bobcaygeon with hiking trails, nature interpretation signs and a large bee garden or pollinator patch.

Rob Messervey leaving Kawartha Conservation

Rob Messervey is resigning as CAO of Kawartha Conservation this December 31—after serving since 2009.

The decision wasn’t easy, said Messervey. “I truly enjoy my job every day.”

During his tenure, Messervey set the overall direction for the organization through strategic and business development planning and strongly promoted professional staff development.

With his staff team, he led a community-based, lake-management planning process, established a climate-change strategy, promoted environmentallysound development, established new partnerships, and enhanced customer service delivery.

Messervey said he sees this as the ideal time for the board to steer forward under new leadership.

In his 41-year career, Messervey worked with the Otonabee, Central Lake Ontario and Lower Trent Region Conservation Authorities, plus over 20 years with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.

He will join his wife Karen in running a native plant nursery on their property near Claremont, and will continue to be heavily involved with the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

“Kawartha Conservation has been very fortunate to have the benefit of Rob’s leadership and experience,” said CKL Councillor and Kawartha Conservation Board Chair Heather Stauble. “He is very well respected by the board and across the province. We are extremely sad to lose him but wish him the very best.”

The hiring process starts now.

ALASKA IS HOT!

Alaska is the #2 most popular cruising destination after the Caribbean. Why? In a land where bears outnumber people, there is no question that the scenery of Alaska is absolutely spectacular: Fjords, mountains and waterfalls and vast areas of unspoiled nature.

Most people travel to Alaska just for a chance to see her famous glaciers, incredible walls of blue ice.

At 20,320 feet, Mt. McKinley, in Denali National Park, is the highest mountain in North America. It has a spectacular vertical rise of over 17,000 feet, visually making this the largest mountain you will ever see.

But, Alaska offers much more than scenery.

You can enjoy activities that range from whale watching (humpback & orcas), kayaking, scenic train rides retracing the Yukon gold rush route, flight-seeing, salmon fishing and even dog sledding. And, when you combine a cruise and a land tour, you can enjoy the best of land and sea!

Alaska is full of contrasts. Half of Alaska’s

population lives in the city of Anchorage even though the small town of Juneau is the state capital. Extremely isolated, Juneau is accessible only by plane and boat. In the coastal mountains behind Juneau, snow falls at an annual rate of 100 feet or more. Over the years this snow has compressed from its own weight into a 1,500 square mile pack of ice known as the Juneau Ice Field.

And then there is Ketchikan, located in the northern end of a temperate rain forest, which receives 14 feet of rain per year!

Want to learn more? Join the Alaska experts at Cruise Holidays of Lindsay for a presentation at the Days Inn on Tuesday, November 15th at 7PM. Our special guest speaker will be Christine Kelly from Princess Cruises. Since seating is limited, please call 705-324-3110 to reserve your seat!

Letting employers off the hook costs injured workers

“It’s outrageous that the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) is reducing employer premiums at a time when they’ve been cutting benefits (to injured workers) at an unprecedented rate,” says Eugene Lefrancois, President of the Ontario Network of Injured

Workers Groups (ONIWG).

ONIWG estimates the reduced premiums will leave an additional $250 million in the pockets of employers.

“Without any change in laws, the WSIB is dismantling the compensation system for generations to come and ruining so many lives in the process,” said Lefrancois.

The WSIB recently announced they will further reduce the premium rates to employers. It is these rates that fund the system, and there is

Sat. Nov. 19, 2016 Dunsford Community Centre

growing public concern that WSIB’s aggressive cost cutting measures are causing serious harm to workers injured on the job. For example: • Over 140 doctors, nurses, legal clinics, immigrant rights groups, labour organizations and community members signed an open letter calling for immediate changes at WSIB; • Physicians are speaking out publicly on the impact of WSIB’s policies on their patients; • Psychologists and injured workers are calling for the Ontario Ombudsman to investigate how the WSIB systematically ignores the opinions of the health-care providers about the workers they have treated; • The Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal experienced what it called an “Appeals Tsunami” in 2012; • In 2015, the tribunal announced it was dealing with a “massive overflow” of appeals of WSIB decisions; and • The Ombudsman has seen a spike in the number of complaints it receives about WSIB.

“It hurts to know that instead of helping injured workers when we desperately need it, the WSIB is giving over $250 million to the very corporations whose unsafe workplaces made us sick,” says Catherine Fenech, ONIWG’s secretary

Low-income adults have teeth too

The Ontario Oral Health Alliance (OOHA—HaliburtonKawartha Lakes-Brock Chapter) wants folks to sign a petition to expand publicly funded dental programs for low-income adults and seniors.

Most public dental-assistance programs are only for youth under 18.

The Ontario government has promised to expand the coverage to adults and seniors by 2025, but 12 November 4, 2016 - The Kawartha Promoter

this petition calls for it within two years.

“Many low-income adults with serious dental problems suffer in pain now because they can’t afford to see a dental professional,” says local OOHA member Anna Rusak—also a Health Promoter with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit.

That sends them to hospital emergency rooms, who can usually only prescribe painkillers and antibiotics, she says, which “doesn’t address the root cause of the problem.”

OOHA says that someone in Ontario winds up in a hospital ER with a dental problem every nine minutes—there were 715 such visits to Lindsay’s Ross hospital in 2012.

That costs the health-care system about $31 million a year without treating the problem. Programs that support proper dental care for all people will “save unnecessary hospital visits and reduce health care costs in the long run,” says OOHA Petition copies are available to be signed at the Health Unit office, 108 Angeline St. South, Lindsay.

You can also visit the Ontario Association of Public Health Dentistry website (oaphd.on.ca) to send an electronic message directly to Ontario Health Minister Erik Hoskins.

Later this fall, OOHA will present the signed petitions to Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock MPP Laurie Scott.

Fenelon’s turn for lock painting

The lock gates at Fenelon Falls Lock 34 will be removed and painted this winter—as was done with the gates at Bobcaygeon Lock 32 last winter.

This will be an even bigger operation than the Bobcaygeon one as the Fenelon locks have an average lift of 24 feet, compared to Bobcaygeon’s five feet—with correspondingly larger gates.

The larger size makes it a two-year project.

Workers will begin this fall by emptying the water out of the lock (aka de-watering) so the upper lock gates can be removed, painted offsite and re-installed again in time for the 2017 navigation season next May.

The lower lock gates will be removed and painted along with construction of the new lock building next fall and winter. They will be reinstalled and ready for the 2018 season.

Painting and other routine maintenance protects the gates against rusting, corrosion, and natural wear, and helps extend their lifespan.

The lock at Fenelon Falls was originally built as two locks close together—constructed and operating by 1887. They were converted to a single concrete lock over two years between 1961 and 1963.

The new single lock was upstream of the highway, lowering boats enough so they could pass beneath the Colborne Street bridge without it having to swing. It was converted to the fixed bridge that remains today.

Lest we forget Angus

By Glenna Burns

It’s been over 100 years since the horror of World War One shattered the hopes and dreams of millions of people.

It’s been 100 years since 35-year-old Angus Livingstone Martin perished from a trench mortar at Sanctuary Wood on the Ypres Salient of Flanders in Belgium.

On Nov. 11 we strive to remember the tremendous costs that war wages on life, and we pray that our children never have to know the horror.

We gather at cenotaphs and in schools and nursing homes, wearing our poppies and laying wreaths.

Many family stories from the past are gone. But

Angus’ tale of joy and loss was captured in his many letters and poems, which have since been preserved for generations by his granddaughter, Jean Pollock in a book, Letters from Angus (Trafford Publishing, Victoria, BC, 2005).

Angus was a pacifist who hated killing. Angus was a poet with the heart of a lion. He was an Ontario Champion wrestler, and a sculler on one of famed Ned Hanlon’s rowing teams.

Angus was a mature man of 34 when he felt compelled, after the death in France in 1915 of his best friend, to leave his wife Cora and three children for The Front.

Angus “followed the drum,” joining the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, 74 Battalion in 1915. He trained at Camp Niagara, marched to

Toronto from Hamilton and finally disembarked from Halifax to Britain in the spring of 1916.

All along the way, Angus wrote letters, cards and poems to his family. He collected small mementos from nature like rocks, feathers and flowers.

Whenever I’m out for an evening stroll, As I pass through Haselmere And see the children playing, Then I think of you my Dear.

And wonder if you and ‘Casey’ And that old Fergums scout Are playing around on old Kew Beach Romping and tumbling about.

As you did in the days when I was there And often a picture dear Of my babes and only Cora girl Comes back to my memory clear.

On July 9, 1916, only a few months after arriving at The Front, Angus died from the repercussion of a Trench Mortar. He survived a brief 20 minutes after the shock. There was not a mark on his body. He never fired a shot in the war.

“If anyone survives, we’ll be a nation of cripples if it ever ends,” he wrote in a letter.

How prophetic Angus’ words are still today.

World War One was not “the war to end all wars,” but the beginning of something horrific.

We now know the legacies of war linger for many generations and impact the children and grandchildren and great grandchildren of veterans.

That war set into motion major revolutions, the rise of the fascist dictators and another world war, ongoing conflict in the Middle East, income tax and a rash of other issues.

By remembering Angus and the millions of others like him we honour them, not war.

Wear a poppy and remember.

Area Remembrance Day roundup

Communities throughout Kawartha Lakes, Trent Lakes—and indeed, across Canada—will hold Remembrance Day and wreath-laying ceremonies in the next weeks to honour the men and women who offered themselves to defend our freedom, and their neighbours, families and country.

Almost all who served were emotionally, physically and/or spiritually scarred, and many ultimately paid with their lives. We owe them our remembrance and honour.

The traditional date and time for such services is the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, but pay close attention to the listings below, as there are variations.

We know that not everyone will be able to attend a service (and it’s a good idea to go early if you can). But we all should be able to pause for two minutes at 11 am to honour our veterans.

Here’s an alphabetically ordered list of Remembrance Day Services for Kawartha Lakes, Trent Lakes and Curve Lake.

BOBCAYGEON: Friday, Nov. 11, starting at 11 am at the Cenotaph.

BUCKHORN: Wednesday, Nov. 9, from 1-3 pm at the Cenotaph in front of the Buckhorn Community Centre.

CANADA 150 could bring Caygeon 10 new jobs

After three months of negotiating, 76 NORTH STREET INC. (aka Kawartha Gear) has become an official licensee to produce and distribute CANADA 150 apparel and other items to celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial next year.

The CANADA 150 licence should bring another 8-10 jobs to Bobcaygeon to help produce the estimated 500,000 units of apparel, pennants, headwear in the next 12 months.

Only the coffee mugs, pens, pins, bags, lanyards etc. will be produced outside of the Kawarthas.

76 NORTH received both the national and international licences to sell CANADA 150 gear in over 10 countries.

In making the announcement, CEO Gary Vaters said: “We are committing 10 percent to community and social needs, as we believe in giving back.”

“This is a terrific country, Bobcaygeon is ‘Heaven on Earth,’ and we are humbled and proud to be a part of this community,” he added.

Vaters said his family has held apparelmerchandise licences in brand, sports and entertainment licencing for many years, including the Toronto Pan Am Games, NHL, CFL, NFL, Star Wars, Disney, Coke, GM and Maui and Sons.

But the CANADA 150 licence “will allow us to do something truly unique for our community and our country.”

Bid here for more Caygeon docks

Take the fun and excitement of an auction, and add to it the good feeling of supporting a worthy local cause, and you’ve got a winning evening of entertainment.

Bobcaygeon’s Impact 32 is putting 32 exciting experts and their services on the auction block to raise money to build more docks in Bobcaygeon.

Impact 32 is a volunteer steering committee made up of local business owners and community organizers.

The village needs expanded dock space to accommodate more visitors.

The “Expert Auction” will work just like a farm or art auction, but participants can actually bid on financial, spa, home, or vehicle services—or even experiences like a progressive dinner with a boat chauffeur, yoga classes, dance lessons, and lots more—32 in total, is the plan.

Get tickets at Darling Insurance, Buckeye Marine, My Favourite Things or the Kawartha Coffee Company in Bobcaygeon.

25 years of ‘Diners Cards’ for Academy

Local doc living large

Over the Top, the locally produced documentary on Lindsay’s Rick Harding, has been selected to play at the Toronto International Short Film Festival on Nov. 10, at 9:55 pm at Toronto’s Carlton Cinema.

Written, produced and directed by awardwinning documentarian Cynthia Banks, the film introduces amusing and quirky Rick Harding, renowned for his peculiar and compulsive approach to life, who for over 50 years has been entertaining and inspiring himself and his fellow Lindsay residents with his “live-out-loud” authentic and peculiar lifestyle.

Over the Top has been described as a “visceral and exhilarating experience,” and listed as an Official Selection at the Cinema World Fest Awards.

Are you reading this?

Advertising in The Kawartha Promoter works!

Twenty-five years after they were first launched as a fundraising project of the Women’s Guild of the Academy Theatre, the popular Diner Cards still remain a major fundraiser for the Academy.

Area diners eagerly welcome each new edition of the Diners Cards. It gives them a chance to enjoy trying out new restaurants, as well as continuing to frequent their favourite ones. Offers on this fall’s Diners Cards will be valid in 2017 from Jan. 1 to Nov. 30.

The reason for their continuing popularity and success is obvious. The $25 Diners Cards offer over $300 in savings, provided collectively by 25 supporting restaurants in Lindsay, Fenelon Falls and Bobcaygeon.

They’ve proven to be a popular gift item for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries—and even as prizes at staff Christmas parties.

Many former members of the Women’s Guild are still involved on the organizing committee and personally sell Diners Cards during November to family, friends and fellow employees.

You can get the 2017 Diners Cards now at the Academy Theatre Box Office, 2 Lindsay St. South, Lindsay, or by phoning 705-324-9111. Quantities are limited and are sold on a first-come basis.

Let us work some magic for you.

New mall anchor is a store with more

Lace on your shopping shoes and make haste to the opening at 10 am this Friday, Nov. 4, of the new store in the old Zellers/Target site at the Lindsay Mall.

To mark the occasion, the owners of “Your Dollar Store With More” will be offering a free gift to the first 500 customers to cross the threshold.

But make sure you take an attitude adjustment with you when you go—because this is no ordinary dollar store.

PIGEON LAKE

YACHT CLUB and

Ontario Sailing Association

As the “With More” part of the name implies, this dollar store (one of the largest in Canada) is well on its way to being all things to all people—in other words, the next best thing to a department store.

Your Dollar Store With More features all the expected $1, $2 and $3 specials. But it goes well beyond, with hardware, housewares, home décor items, stationery, craft, party, wedding and scrapbooking supplies, and all kinds of toys and gifts. It even has bed and bath supplies—Egyptiancotton sheets, anyone?—and lots of smaller home furnishings and accents.

This is a big store. It occupies the majority of the space that once was Target. The owner has already hired 20 local employees, and is seeking about 10 more in the coming weeks.

The owners hope it’s what people in the area have been waiting for since first Zellers and then Target folded up their tents and disappeared into the night.

The choristers are delighted to welcome Bill and Robbie Gordon to the tenor and soprano sections. Every voice makes a difference.

Some of us remember them from the productions of “Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh,” performed in the Academy Theatre on Lindsay a few years ago.

We also welcomed back Julie Fulford—just in time to refresh her music—who took a short leave to visit her daughter out west.

Doreen Crozier, a member for many years but now retired, has recently been in hospital and is thankfully home again now.

Time has certainly slipped away, and the choristers are moving right along into the spirit of Christmas. Many mini concerts are scheduled, including local and Lindsay nursing homes and Ross Memorial Hospital.

The Salvation Army Ladies Group is hosting their annual Christmas party on Nov. 17 in Fenelon Falls, and the Choristers will be the entertainment for the night.

Recently we have been asked to lead a Christmas carol sing-a-long during the annual Christmas Tree lighting coming up on Nov. 25 at the locks.

Please take a minute to like us on Facebook where news and photos are posted. Also give a thought to joining us in January to prepare for our spring production.

It’s Easy Being Green Anyone for a black-garbage-bag dress?

By Julia Taylor

The City of Kawartha Lakes material-recovery facility (aka recycling plant) doesn’t like recycling black garbage bags because the company that buys their plastic #4 makes light coloured raw material.

So dark plastic bags can really mess up a whole batch of product.

This is also the reason we in Kawartha Lakes CAN recycle Tim Horton’s cups and most municipalities do not—because the company that purchases that raw material does NOT need it to be light. So it’s all about who we are selling our recovered materials to that gives us more or less options for recycling.

Which brings me to my point: What are we going to do with all of those black bags we have left when we switch to clear bags in January, especially if they are not recyclable?

Are you one of those people who bought a box of 20,000 garbage bags from Costco, and still

have enough to last you until 2030? Here are some ideas: •M aybe someone you have to buy a Christmas gift for lives in a municipality that still uses black bags. What a useful, practical gift idea.

•O r how about going with a black-and-white themed Christmas, and wrapping all your gifts with them. I bet there are a ton of fancy ideas on pinterest for plastic-bag bows.

• S ave them for next Halloween and create some creepy black ghosts to hang outside.

•O r send your kids out as black ghosts—easy, cheap, and water proof.

•H ow about a dress-making competition and party using black garbage bags. Get your creative juices flowing—and be social.

•O r ponchos for the whole gang for your next trip to Niagara Falls.

Okay, okay, here are some more practical uses for your leftover garbage bags.

Wrap your trees and shrubs in them to protect them over the winter. Or cover your fragile plants in the garden against late spring/early fall frost.

Use them to put your gently used clothing in— for donations, or for moving and storage.

So what will you do with your left over black garbage bags?

Minaajim: Good Stories from Curve Lake First Nation MIIGWECH WAABAMIN (Thanks to the Apple)

As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka

Autumn was a time of harvest for us. And the harvest meant spending time with the women who prepared and preserved fruit in the fall season.

One of those harvesting activities was going to pick WAABAMINUG (apples) with my grandmother.

The traditional apple for Anishinaabe is crab apples.

My grandmother would take a number of us grandchildren to the trees with a little wooden ladder. You would have a stick to tap down the WAABAMINUG to those waiting below who would catch them. If they hit the ground you could not keep them.

My brother and cousins were good tree climbers and I was more of the organizer at the bottom of the tree. I would make sure they were safe, that the WAABAMINUG were put into bags, and that they were not bruised.

We would fill these huge burlap potato sacks full of apples, load them into three or four canoes and paddle back home.

There were a number of things you could do with WAABAMINUG. One of them was to peel them, core and remove the seeds, and then cut them into quarters. Then we would sew them and string them on a line which would be hung across the ceiling to dry.

It had to be a quiet room, a cool dry room with no dust, clean, and no human activity. That was one of the ways to preserve them; it would take about a month. I don’t see many people dry apples anymore, it seems to be a lost art.

Another thing was to make apple preserve and apple sauce. These came in handy when we had no food during some winters. There is nothing like hot baked bannock with butter and apple preserve or sauce. Mmmm.

My grandmother had a secret ingredient that she added to the apple preserve which she didn’t tell many people. It was always difficult to keep

Bringing safer walking and cycling routes to Bobcaygeon

the apples from turning brown. The modern way is to use lemon juice, but we didn’t have that so my grandmother used a secret ingredient. I cannot tell you what it was but I can give you a hint: it had something to do with the parts of a pig.

My grandmother also had a knack for what I call an “instant dessert.” She would grab a couple of fresh apples from a bag, throw them in a pan with a little bit of water and brown sugar and baste them for about half an hour. And then we would have a beautiful dessert.

We made oodles of crab-apple preserves and my grandmother made crab-apple jelly. It was a tedious job for us, taking a lot of organization and time, but we did it.

My grandmother was also an amazing cook.

Fresh apple pies cooked in a wood burning stove to a beautiful brown, caramelized top were the pies I remember to this day as the best I have ever eaten.

My cousin Melody comes in a close second.

Those were good healthy times for us as Anishinaabe peoples. Our connection to the harvest and to the gifts of the earth also made a time of laughter and of family. The memories of those times are very strong with me and give me moments of nostalgia now.

I remember a couple of homes in Curve Lake when I was young that had this beautiful apple aroma when you entered. It was like a modern day Febreeze. In fact our people had many aromatic remedies . . . but that is another story.

Horoscopes

Nov. 4-17 Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) Are you finding it hard to remember things, Aquarius? Perhaps you could start by “deleting” some information in your brain that isn’t necessary. Get rid of the clutter and concentrate on the important things.

Pisces (Feb. 20 - March 20) You need to be flexible right now at your workplace, Pisces. There are rumblings and mumblings with which you need to deal. Do not look at these only in terms of black and white. There are many other ways to explore, as well.

Aries (March 21 - April 20) Most of us know rationally that age is a matter of feeling, not of years. Yet we so often forget this emotionally. Remember to always look to the days ahead—the best is yet to be.

Taurus (April 21 - May 21) Here’s a nasty four-letter word for you, Taurus: CAN’T. Don’t let this word ruin your life. Every time you start to think—“I can’t”—substitute it with—“I can.”

While you may not be able to do every single thing, it will definitely change your outlook and promote motivation.

Gemini (May 22 - June 22) “But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored and sorrows end”— William Shakespeare. Isn’t it lovely to have a friend who can restore your energy and make you happy? And if you don’t have that kind of friend, Gemini, then be your own best friend.

Cancer (June 23 - July 23) Cancer, one of the traits dictated by your zodiac sign is that you will fight tooth and nail to save a disintegrating love relationship—often refusing to believe it is

over. But sometimes you just have to say: “Time to MOVE ON.” Leo (July 24 - Aug. 23) Your outgoing nature, generosity, and wild sense of humour set you apart, dear Leo. You brighten everyone’s day. What more can we say?

Virgo (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23) The astrological omens are telling you to not take any great risks during this phase, Virgo. We’re not sure what the problems could be, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) Focus on the common, every day “miracles,” dear Libra. They are there to find if you search hard enough.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) With a full “Freezing Moon” falling on Nov. 14, Scorpio, it’s time to prepare for the coming hardships of winter—the dark nights and days of less bountiful food that lie ahead. The Indigenous people of Turtle Island (North America) prepared by learning the sacred teachings and songs that would sustain them on their spiritual journey to spring. How will you prepare?

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) There will always be times in life when the going is tough, Sag. Confrontation and drama are not the answers, though. Work at taking, tiny steps one at a time—yes, ONE at a time. And try to be as compassionate towards people as you would like them to be towards you.

Courage is the accumulation of small steps.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 21) Congratulations, Capricorn.

You’re really on a roll. You’ve learned to walk away from the unnecessary conversations that so often consume our daily lives. And this has had a good impact on your ability to move forward and do what’s NECESSARY TO SUCCEED.

Health & Wellness Dr. Bowen comes to town

Dr. Cody Bowen—born and raised in the City of Kawartha Lakes—is coming back home to join the practice of Dr. Brian Fagan. Both docs will care for Dr. Fagan’s patients.

“Dr. Bowen completed a number of medical electives in Lindsay during medical school and residency. I am very pleased that he has chosen to return home to practice,” says Cindy Snider, Recruitment and Retention Coordinator for the Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative (KLHCI).

Bowen received an honors Bachelor of Medical Science from Western University in 2008, a Doctor of Medicine degree from Saba University School of Medicine in 2013, and completed his Family Medicine Residency at a Michigan State University program in Grand Rapids, Michigan this July.

Bowen, and his wife Kaja, are the proud parents of Aidan and have already established their home in Lindsay.

Bowen will join the doctors of the City of Kawartha Lakes Family Health Team. Local doctors work with the team’s nurse practitioners, family health nurses, dietician, pharmacists, psychologist,

clinical social workers, occupational therapist and respiratory therapist to provide patients with complete health care.

The family health team also partners with local health organizations and offers a variety of health programs designed to help keep residents healthy.

KLHCI is a non-profit, charitable organization mandated to recruit and retain family doctors for the City of Kawartha Lakes. To offer support, contact Cindy Snider at 705-328-6098 or info@ kawarthalakesdoctors.org. Or visit the website at kawarthalakesdoctors.org.

USE IT OR LOSE IT!

We are all familiar with the saying “use it or lose it” that says if you do not exercise, you will lose muscle mass. As it turns out, this warning applies to areas of the body other than the muscles. A study involving mostly seniors found that those living with hearing loss actually experienced brain shrinkage.

That is, when deprived of auditory stimulation, gray matter volume in the auditory cortex was seen to decline. This conclusion was reached by comparing MRIs of individuals with hearing loss to others without hearing loss. Overall, the scientists reported that those with impaired hearing lost more than an additional cubic centimeter of brain tissue each year compared to those with normal hearing.

Hearing loss is an invisible condition; we cannot see hearing loss, only its effects.

Because the presence of a hearing loss is not visible, these effects may be attributed to aloofness, confusion, or personality changes.

To schedule a hearing test, please give us a call. We offer a full range of services including complete hearing assessments, hearing aid sales and service, batteries, earwax removal, and dizziness and balance treatments.

P.S. The study mentioned above gives another very good reason to address hearing loss sooner rather than later.

Christian students support cancer patients

Grade eight students from Lindsay’s Heritage Christian School recently visited Ross Memorial

Hospital to present the proceeds from the school’s fundraising activities for local cancer care.

Accompanied by their principal Lonneke Brown, they donated $118—in memory of Terry Fox—to help enhance diagnostic imaging services at the hospital, which are used for cancer screening, diagnosis and biopsy testing.

The visit also became a learning opportunity when they met with RMH President and CEO Dr. Bert Lauwers and RMH Foundation Executive Director Erin Coons.

“Here at the Ross Memorial, patients receive cancer care in many ways from imaging and surgery to pain and symptom management,” explained Lauwers.

“We’re so touched that the students at Heritage Christian School want to help local patients.

Knowing that the community is rallying behind our patients’ health inspires our patients and their families, and our team.”

Free CPR training

Kawartha Lakes Paramedic Service is offering a free, hands-only Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) clinic in the lobby of the Lindsay Recreation Centre on Saturday, Nov. 5, from 10 am to 4 pm.

Anyone can attend. The clinic is designed for people interested in learning a lifesaving skill or looking to refresh their existing skills and knowledge.

“Our training is designed to empower citizens with the knowledge to save lives,” says City of Kawartha Lakes Paramedic Autumn Campbell. “In an emergency, every second counts.”

The paramedics will also teach participants how to effectively use an automated external defibrillator (AED).

Persons trained in CPR will do a “scene survey” first (looking for heart attack signs), then arrange to get help, including calling 911 and sending for an AED if available, before beginning CPR.

A person trained in CPR will place the person on a firm, flat surface, put their hands in the centre of the upper chest with shoulders directly over their hands and their elbows locked to give 30 hard and fast compressions.

They then open the airway by tilting the head and lifting the chin, pinch the nose, make a tight seal over mouth, and give two breaths, using enough air to make the chest rise.

They repeat that cycle of 30 compressions and two breaths until either help arrives, the casualty responds, or an AED instructs them to stop.

Kawartha Lakes residents can get their CPR certification through St. John’s Ambulance (sja.ca).

get your flu shot

With winter just around the corner, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit wants local residents to not only get their flu shots but also ensure they are up-to-date on all their vaccines.

their risk of influenza.

“Flu vaccine can reduce your risk of getting sick from influenza, so it’s worth rolling up your sleeve to get one,” says Marianne Rock, the HU’s Manager of Communicable Disease Control, Epidemiology and Evaluation.

“Even if you get the flu after getting a flu shot, your illness is usually milder than if you had not been vaccinated.”

Vaccines are safe and one of the most effective ways to stay healthy, says the Health Unit. In Ontario they are available at no-charge and recommended at different ages and stages of life (ontario.ca/vaccines).

To get a flu shot, speak to your doctor or health care provider, visit your local pharmacy (for a complete list of approved pharmacies see hkpr.on.ca), or book

Don’t let diabetes sneak up on you

Ross Memorial Hospital and its community partners will host a Diabetes Health Fair on World Diabetes Day, Nov. 14.

Both type 1 diabetes (generally infant onset and insulin dependent) and type 2 diabetes (mostly adult onset—although that’s changing—and may or may not require insulin) are serious conditions, and can lead to the same complications.

The health fair will feature stations where

New Patients Welcome Emergency Care- Root Canals Implants - Wisdom Teeth Extractions

participants can speak to healthcare professionals, test their blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and learn the signs and risks of diabetes.

Come and learn about the Family Health Team walking club, eye and foot care, Community Care CKL, RMH Cardiac Rehabilitation and “Heartwise” exercise links, sleep apnea, and the Diabetes Education program at RMH.

Bring your running shoes and try the SAGES exercise class.

The Diabetes Health Fair will be held at the Lindsay Recreation Centre (133 Adelaide St. South, from 10 am to 1 pm.

Meanwhile, here are some things to consider— and do—about diabetes: • Early detection and timely treatment of diabetesrelated complications can reduce its impact.

• Up to 70 percent of type 2 diabetes cases can be prevented or delayed by adopting healthier lifestyles.

• Screening for diabetes complications is an essential part of managing all types of diabetes.

• Anyone over the age of 40 should be tested for diabetes at least every three years.

• If you have type 2 diabetes, your children, brothers and sisters are at risk, and should get tested.

• If you think you might be at risk for developing diabetes, complete the Canadian Diabetes Risk Questionnaire (do an online search for CANRISK).
