From my perch

There’s nothing quite so profound as the deep peace and quiet that descends on the Kawartha Lakes in the blink of an eye after Labour Day.

As the last summer weekend winds down, cottagers and tourists alike begin streaming southward for home. All roads lead to the Golden Horseshoe.

The change is like someone threw a switch.

The days immediately begin to feel more peaceful and calm—even than the depths of January. Cool nights finally come back, and still, beautiful mornings.

Those of us who live here year round can sit back, relax, and take a deep breath.

Don’t get me wrong. We love the summer people. Our local economy depends on the money they spend in our stores and restaurants—buying food, drink, gasoline, furniture and décor, lakeside toys, fishing gear, building supplies for new docks and decks and so on.

More than that, they bring a

different and more exciting energy to our sometimes sleepy world—a city energy that even on vacation is more jazzed up and fashion conscious than many of us who call the Kawarthas home.

They bring a wider and more selfconscious viewpoint to our little world of natural peace and beauty. They are why new and more adventurous restaurants keep springing up in our villages.

But now we can go back to being ourselves—and to the real fall fairs, for example, that are so much a part of our agricultural history.

Watch for the Lindsay Exhibition, Sept. 21-25. And then, of course, there’s the 157th Bobcaygeon Fall Fair, the “Daddy of ‘Em All,” which comes to town Sept. 29 to Oct. 1.

Some city folks come back for those too. See you there.

Wasn’t that a party—except . . . ?

The street party on Saturday evening, Aug. 20, with live broadcasting of the Tragically Hip concert in Kingston, was amazing.

The turnout was exceptional and it was a joy to be a part of the evening. Even the pets were well behaved.

The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed.

People had placed their chairs in the street—and the sidewalks were left to the pedestrians who wanted to get from one end of Bolton Street to the other, pick out a spot on the street to place their chairs or simply stroll and enjoy the excitement.

When the event was at its busiest, the closer one got to a certain cafe, the more the mood shifted. The cafe had completely blocked the sidewalk in front of its store with sofas and chairs. No one coming from either side could go by unless they detoured into the street, thus disturbing all those who were watching the concert from their lawn chairs.

My reaction was one of disbelief. People carrying chairs in hopes of finding a place to sit further along the street, families with strollers and children trying to

stay together, people with pets, etc.—all were forced into a funnel to go around the cafe.

There was a lot of grumbling and raised voices.

I was appalled, knowing that the owner of the cafe is an elected councillor in Bobcaygeon. It was a show of utter disrespect for others, not to mention the safety issues involved.

I hate to imagine the mess we would have been in if the other stores and cafes bordering Bolton Street had done the same—and I would like to take this opportunity to thank those owners for their courtesy and common sense.

Never say never

We are writing in response to Glenna Burns’ excellent reporting on Trent Lakes Council. According to Glenna’s article, Housing or aggregates? Pick one (Aug. 26, page 6), council has recently approved two new severance applications close to areas zoned for aggregate development (Schedule C).

They are choosing in favor of residential lots as they think there will never be an aggregate application in these areas because residences are already established.

Never say never. It would have been nice if the former council and staff had felt the same in the case of the Dewdney Mountain Farms application on Ledge Road in Trent Lakes.

In that case there were also residences in the area that had been established for years back. There are also many hunt camps in the area.

New homes were built in 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008. The area was designated Schedule C in 2010, and in many cases this schedule falls on top of the newly created homes. In that same year a new building permit was issued and a house was built.

Did the former council with referral from staff use the same rationale for approving that permit, that there would never be a quarry in this area? The You’re Always Next at

summary statement from the agent for Dewdney Mountain suggests the former council as well as Peterborough County were well aware of the quarry application coming forward.

According to the Ontario Government (Provincial Policy Statement, section 2.5.2.5), land designated for aggregate development is to be protected from other activities that could hinder resource extraction unless: extraction is not feasible, another use serves a greater long-term public interest, or aggregate extraction would have adverse effects on public health, safety or the environment.

In issuing that building permit and allowing the severances, the Trent Lakes council of the day seemed to choose another use over resource extraction. But it reversed itself when the Dewdney Quarry application came along in 2012 and chose the quarry over already established residences.

Current Mayor Bev Matthews was the only member of the former council who voted no.

Dewdney Mountain’s application is still being challenged by local residents with their own money.

The current council could choose to reverse the previous council’s decision but has not. As the mayor said, “council has to decide what’s in Trent Lakes’ best long-term interest.”

If your established home or cottage in Trent Lakes falls within or near a designated area of Schedule C, be aware that at some point council may have to choose between you and aggregate development— and you may not be happy with its choice.

week I had our home.

I worked hard, decorating, new floors throughout, landscaping—plus working, taking care of my boys, the house and my husband.

I was unaware that my husband did not pay the mortgage for two years, and I lost our lovely home in Alberta.

We moved to Oshawa and rented. I took care of the money and within a year we were out of debt.

I purchased a home from my mom with money I saved for a down payment.

Within a year, my husband wasn’t paying the mortgage—again. I could see he didn’t care for our family’s well being so I had to let him go. It was a struggle; there was no help financially from my husband, but I saved my home for my family.

Two years later, I rented out my home and moved up north to Bobcaygeon with my last son (the others were old enough to be on their own and two moved in with dad).

It was a bit of a shack, but love was there so I never noticed my surroundings.

My second husband and I were together for 28 years and he was always trying to improve on the “love shack”—and I helped with some earnings and hard labour.

He died of alzheimers disease, and left me seven-plus acres and the love shack. There were many mistakes because of his alzheimers. He had it for many years and we were unaware of the symptoms.

I turned the love shack into a beautiful home with the help of my contractor son and other contractors. The workmanship is outstanding.

It took me 10 years and now I’m done. The love shack is up for sale, and I’m ready for a new journey.

Silly me, I also have property in Jamaica.

This is what I know.

The comment made me think of my accomplishments . . . and that I am a strong, caring (and as I was told the other day), classy woman.

So ladies and gentlemen: Get what you need.

Fight for what you want. Love with truth and honesty, and have it returned to you. And if not, say goodbye.

What do you know?

They’re just kids

We wise, “older folks”—who seem at times to dominate the scene here locally, sometimes need a refresher course on the nature of kids.

Indeed, I have observed so many of us “golden ones” frown when we see a two-year old throwing a temper tantrum in the grocery store despite a poor mom’s best efforts to get the child under control.

I have observed the dirty looks on the faces of some folks when kids get a bit boisterous at our usually very quiet medical centre while waiting to see the nurse practitioner. The term “stink eye” comes to mind when I notice the condemning glares of some seniors whenever kids are at noisy play.

Of course there are so many more seniors out there who smile or nod in understanding when kids are just being kids. These folks tend to be the knowledgeable grandmas/grandpas and (or) great grandmas/grandpas. Ah yes, they’ve seen it all and in turn they’ve learned a lot.

True, kids can be a handful at times as my own daycare responsibilities have taught me, but on the other hand they can also be so incredibly wise, compassionate and understanding.

Two years ago, my eldest grandson finally threw away his training wheels and learned to ride his two wheeler in proper fashion. My wife and I had taken him to Anderson Park so he could first develop his balancing skills by coasting down those gentle green embankments.

Of course this resulted in the inevitable falls. He was ready to give up.

Several preteen boys and girls observed the antics taking place. Eventually the, “gang” came over to us and asked if they might help out. They took over while my wife and I sat on a picnic table under the shade of a tree to watch the proceedings.

In no time at all, they had my grandson riding like a pro. They were such a nice bunch of kids. Several of them hung around our table, talking amiably for some time before politely bidding us goodbye.

Two weeks later that same summer, I found myself back at the park with my grandson who was a true bicycling veteran by now. He was ready to tackle the big stuff, the “heavy metal” ramps and jumps. The only problem was that there were four teenage boys there doing their own thing on their beat-up stunt bikes.

My grandson was a little intimidated by their expertise and by their frequent but amiable use of the dreaded “F” word.

One of the boys looked up and spotted us. “Quit swearing,” he said. “There’s a little kid coming over.”

Not only did they comply but they took time to show my grandson how to tackle the hardware in place. They were polite, caring kids who contributed so much to a little kid’s confidence and self esteem.

Two weeks ago, it was grandson number two who was ready to brave the metal. He was there at the skateboard park with two other friends and his brother (grandson one). They were having a great time of it.

I sat under the picnic table cover with the other two boys’ grandparents. We were talking away when I glanced up to see five-year-old grandson two lose his balance and begin to take a header off one of the ramps. However, he was prevented from falling to the unyielding pavement by another older boy who was close by. This kid was doing stunts on his scooter.

He reached out and prevented G2 from hitting the tarmac. Nice kid.

He left before I could thank him but I did get his name and emailed his grandma my thanks.

These are just a few little things that I have noticed lately. I have seen so many more. Big kids at the arena including little ones in their play activities

upstairs while their older brothers and sisters are on the ice. I’ve seen French-fry sharing by older kids with younger ones and heard so many words of encouragement from this “Generation Z.”

I am a long-retired elementary school teacher now, but I can still remember saying to my school kids at the end of each school year that they taught me more than I could ever hope to teach them. You know what? I was right.

Kudos to you parents who have encouraged this kind of positive behavior in your children. But mostly: Thanks kids. Keep it up.

City Hall Challenging King Car in Caygeon

By Robert Voigt

Environmental Action Bobcaygeon, with the support of the city, has engaged my associates and I in Cambium Inc. to develop a “Walking and Cycling Plan” for Bobcaygeon.

Do you Have a news Tip or idea?

We would like to hear from you editor@thepromoter.ca

Another local family is happy to service Kawartha Lakes and the surrounding area.

At Kawartha Blinds, we offer a variety of window coverings for residential and commercial spaces; which include custom made & fitted products at affordable prices.

Having a community that makes walking and cycling safe for everyone is no longer a luxury we can put off to another time. The benefits of walking/ cycling-friendly towns and cities are far reaching and affect everyone. Such communities are safer for all ages, improve accessibility, reduce infrastructure costs, increase property value, and are better for business.

Public health, real estate, engineering, tourism, and economic development industries across North America have all been increasingly recommending such action lately. And in fact, the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario highlighted this need in two 2012 reports.

The good news is there are many, very easy things we can do to improve the way we take trips on foot or by bike.

However, we should not lose sight of the fact that there is also critically important work that needs to be done.

“A Complete Streets approach should be adopted,” the coroner said in the 2012 reports, “to guide the development of new communities and the re-development of existing communities in Ontario. Complete streets should be designed to be safe, convenient and comfortable for every user, regardless of transportation mode, physical ability or age.”

We welcome your ideas and insights and have set up a Facebook page titled Alternative Transportation Bobcaygeon, for the Project. We’ll also be holding meetings with opportunities for the public to attend.

In the end this is your community and it needs to be your plan. We are here to help you craft it for your needs.

Power, internet, growth, policing on municipal agendas

Kawartha Lakes Mayor Andy Letham and Trent Lakes Mayor Bev Matthews joined the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) to raise key issues with Ontario cabinet ministers at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) annual meeting in Windsor last month.

The caucus spoke directly with Ontario ministers, said Letham, about “the rising cost of policing and emergency services, and the broken interest arbitration system contributing to those escalating costs”. The current legal system known as joint and several liability holds municipalities financially responsible for issues often out of their control and jurisdictions, he added, and raises their insurance premiums.” home “Municipal taxpayers are increasingly of realizing the home that local governments cannot continue to manage of

these costs and that the province must take action on these issues to ensure we can continue to fix our roads, bridges and water systems,” added EOWC Chair Peter Emon, who is also warden of Renfrew County.

EOWC represents 103 municipalities across eastern Ontario. Issues it says need urgent attention for residents, commerce and industry include: • Extending natural gas into rural communities; • Improving and expanding the hydroelectric transmission grid; • Closing coverage and capacity gaps in cell networks to improve mobile broadband services • Building a model first-responder public-safety network; • Dismantling provincial government barriers to development, to focus on growing rural Eastern Ontario’s economy; • Stemming rising OPP and other emergencyservice costs, which are discouraging investment in local municipal infrastructure.

Energy costs “are increasing at an unprecedented pace, with no end in sight,” said Emon. “Rural customers are shouldering a disproportionate burden compared to their urban counterparts,” with families facing ‘energy poverty’ as they are forced to choose between electricity bills and other basic necessities and services. “They also hurt the growth potential of our businesses.”

EOWC also delivered a written formal submission to the Ministry of Energy regarding

the province’s next Long-Term Energy Plan. It recommends making the infrastructure investments needed for the expansion of energy systems; bringing a reliable flow of natural gas and electricity to rural and remote areas of Eastern Ontario; and advocating for more affordable energy solutions for rural Ontario.

the city,” says Environmental Services Manager David Kerr. And that means “managing and designing our landfills properly.” For more info call 705-324-9411, ext. 2360.

DON’T BAG RECYCLING: The city wants to remind residents that materials for recycling should be taken to the curb in wide-mouthed bins (blue and green boxes), not in bags. “Bagged recycling is not in compliance with the waste management by-law, and will be left on the curb. The Clear Bag Waste Collection program, which becomes mandatory on January 1, 2017, applies to garbage collection only.”

See the Recycling & Waste Collection Calendar— available at Municipal Service Centres—for detailed information. Next year’s calendar should be available in late November.

WATER RESTRICTIONS LIFTED: Phase One Water Restrictions (bylaw 2011-260) have been rescinded for municipal drinking-water systems only in Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls and Southview Estates. All other drinking-water systems remain on a Phase One Water Restriction, and all residents are still encouraged to reduce non-essential water use since the Kawartha Conservation’s watershed remains at a Level II Low Water Condition throughout the city.

Share your thoughts on electoral reform with your members of parliment

Peterborough Liberal MP Maryam Monsef, whose riding includes Trent Lakes, started a national tour on electoral reform in Iqaluit last month that

KAWARTHA CARVING COMPETITION & SHOW Saturday September 10, 2016 8:30am - 4:30pm Public $3.00 - Door prizes

will include community conversations in her own riding.

One of Monsef’s conversations is scheduled for the Buckhorn Community Centre, 1782 Lakehurst Road, on Tuesday, Oct. 11 from 1-2 pm.

Others have been set for Peterborough, Apsely, Havelock, Lakefield and Douro (for schedule, see maryammonsef.ca). Register in advance, or send in your thoughts on the issue by emailing Maryam.

Monsef@parl.gc.ca or calling 705-745-2108.

The meetings are an opportunity for people “to discuss and share their ideas about the future of Canada’s federal electoral system,” says Monsef.

“Each conversation will explore the principles and values that shape Canadian democracy, consider the different electoral systems, and invite participants to discuss the ways they can participate in voting.”

Monsef, who is also the government’s Minister of Democratic Institutions, has been given the responsibility of coming up with a plan for electoral reform and the modernization of Canadian democracy. Liberal leader (and now Prime Minister) Justin Trudeau promised during the last campaign that he would make 2015 the last election under the current first-past-the-post electoral system.

Monsef has struck a special all-party parliamentary committee to consider options.

It will report back to the House of Commons in December.

Meanwhile, Haliburton-Brock-Kawartha Lakes Conservative MP Jamie Schmale also wants to gather input and feedback from his constituents— to forward to the special committee.

Schmale says he will send every household in his riding an information package on electoral reform, presenting arguments on both sides and a timeline—plus constituent ballots.

The ballots can be filled out and returned by postage-paid mail by Sept. 30. If your household doesn’t get a copy, or if you need more for a larger household, contact the constituency office. You can also find it at jamieschmale.ca. Print out the ballot and mail it in.

Anyone can submit a brief to the Special Committee on Electoral Reform or complete the committee’s online e-consultation questionnaire, at parl.gc.ca/ERRE-e before midnight on October 7. home

Minaajim: Good Stories from Curve Lake First Nation The Tree from the Sky World

As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka

Trees have always been very important to Nishnaabe people. They provide all sorts of things for us. They provide us with foods and medicinesand with shelter and fire.

We must not forget that trees also bring us happiness and peace of mind. Without these things we simply would not survive as a species.

Although all trees are essential to our survival some trees are rather extraordinary for us—for example, the cedar tree.

Cedar is special. We believe it is one of those gifts that came with our own creation, when we were put here. Cedar was always with Nishnaabe peoples. Nishnaabe peoples were created in the Sky World and there is lots of cedar in the Sky World.

Now that tree came with us at that time and we know sacred things about the spiritual aspect of that tree. GIIZHIGAATE (there is moonlight); GIIZHIG (heaven, sky); GIIZHIK (cedar tree)—which means sky tree, because it literally came from the sky.

One of the reasons it accompanied Nishnaabe is so we would not forget our original instructions— about how to live here beautifully and how to take care of the earth and save her from greed and overharvesting and that kind of thing.

That tree reminds us in its own way of how we are to live humbly and with gratitude.

If we forget certain things in our prayers, the cedar will do the work for us and bring those thoughts to Creator to be dealt with in a good way.

The bark is useful and the flesh is good for carving light and strong shafts for tools and for arrows. It is also good as a base structure for WIIGWAMUN (homes). If you put cedar into the ground it will not rot that readily.

Once cedar is left out in the sun and the

home home of of the the

home of the

elements, it will dry to the point where no bacteria is able to break it down to rot. In the modern day, lots of cedar is used-for posts and rail fences, as well as for decks.

The cedar tree is also medicinal and can be used in several ways. You can boil it for tea and also steep it and cool the water down to have what we call a ”cedar bath.” This protects you spiritually and also from skin afflictions.

When drinking cedar tea one must take care because it is Nishnaabe homeopathic medicine, meaning it is a poison that fights poison with poison. It cannot be drunk casually or be made too strong. No more than one glass should be drunk per day.

Oil from the leaves is also a good medicine.

When the cedar leaves are placed on hot rocks the steam carries the oil and it will be absorbed by the body. It has good anti-inflammatory properties.

When the steam is inhaled it works with your lungs to make them strong. It is also good for an inflamed trachea.

Cedar is also good for bedding. You cut the boughs into the size of your hands and layer them on the floor. It is extremely soothing and provides a good soft bed. It is also good aromatherapy.

Cedar is also one of the four sacred medicines.

It represents the southern direction on the Medicine Wheel and has many Teachings . . . but that is another story.

A time-honoured Legion tradition is returning to Fenelon Falls. The Drumhead Weekend combines the District “F” Fall Council meeting with seminars and the Drumhead Parade and Ceremony.

It’s the wrap-up to Legion Week, and the public is invited. On Friday, Sept. 23, the Fenelon Falls Legion will host a barbecue from 4-8 pm. Karaoke with “Big Z” starts in the clubroom at 7. Discover the social side of Branch 238.

On Saturday, Sept. 24, live music for all by “The Blackfly Band” begins at 7 pm.

On Sunday at 1:30 pm, Legion members and Colour Parties from across the 53 Branches in District F will march from the site of the old arena to the Cenotaph for a wreath-laying, followed by the Drumhead Ceremony.

“What is a Drumhead?” Well, for centuries, regimental padres conducted services in the field as soldiers prepared to go into battle. This called for a platform where the padre could place his Bible for a formal service, and regimental drums were stacked in layers to make a temporary altar.

The first use of the drumhead for this purpose was documented in the 1700s. Like many things military, it soon became a tradition, and was adopted

by Canada’s first regiment in the 1800s. The Royal Canadian Legion continues it today by conducting a Drumhead Service to pay homage to those of our comrades who offered their lives in defence of our country.

The sight of flags and banners from across the District undulating in the breeze, the precision of the Hastings-Prince Edward Regiment Pipes and Drums, the sounds of Last Post and Rouse and the sharp barking of orders as the drums are piled and draped, combine to bring history to life and perpetuate a beloved military tradition.

Gather at Fenelon’s Cenotaph Park, Francis Street West at Market Street, by 1:30. Chairs will be available, or bring a lawnchair. For more info, see fenelonfallslegion.ca, or visit the legion at 23 Veterans Way.

NONEGENARIAN INVENTOR’S LATEST—A POCKET ASHTRAY

By Julia Taylor

Fed up with cigarette-butt litter outside his door John Lok is solving the problem with his latest invention—the Pocket Ashtray.

Designed with left-over scraps of vinyl from Holsag in Lindsay and sewn by himself, the simple flexible packet fits into your pocket and allows you

to extinguish the lit cigarette by dropping it in, so you always have a place to butt out—no fires, burns, or litter.

A few trial runs from local smokers have proved the product is effective and useful.

“Cigarette butt litter accounts for about half the litter we pick up,” says Rochelle Archibald from agreenerfuture. ca, an international non-profit committed to protecting wildlife and the environment.

“Many people don’t realize that when a cigarette butt is littered

it poses a huge health risk to wildlife and humans. Thousands of chemicals contained in the filter leach out when they come into contact with water. This very quickly and easily contaminates water.”

John Lok, a retired Canadian Marine Veteran has been inventing most of his 90+ years, coming up with ideas to make opening doors easier, a tail light that displays how fast a vehicle is going with the green/yellow/red system—and most notably a set of tools designed to make it easier to scoop the last of the ice cream out of the pail—used by some local ice cream shops.

John is known in his local community for being a recycling and environmental champion and has even won Ajax’s Environmental Achievement Award in the past.

Is someone throwing butts at your doorstep? Why not buy them a pocket ashtray. They’re a buck a piece from Lok Enterprises at 705-320-8522.

Horoscopes

Sept. 9 to 22 Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Travel of some sort is definitely on the horizon for you soon, Aquarius. We can’t say if it is work related or vacation time, but either way it will be fun and rewarding.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) You are never too old. You are never too old. Keep repeating this, Pisces, because you need to believe it. Whatever your dreams and goals—get crackin’ and make them come true.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) “Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair” — Khalil Gibran. What a lovely sentiment, Aries. Looks like its time to do some running and jumping out in Mother Nature. Delight in it.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Sharing your feelings, thoughts and opinions can be scary. But it can also earn respect. So take a stand, Taurus. Be brave — right from the start.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) The subject of money can be very emotional, Gemini. It brings with it all kinds of things, other than just plain buying power. It can represent status, accomplishment and influence. But it can also control us if we let it. Beware of its push and pull.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Feeling a little flirty these days, Cancer? It could be a sign of autumn ahead with its promise of bright colours that is exciting you. Or it could mean that an adventurous love life is about to unfold, and you just can’t wait. Make the most of it.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) With September comes the feeling of new beginnings, just like starting school again. Perhaps it’s time now to look into some new-fangled ideas and maybe even some wild escapades. Do something for the fun of it, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) It’s decision time, Virgo. Yes, that’s right, it’s time to figure out your next step, and stop dithering because you are afraid of the unknown consequences. You MUST act now.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Lucky Libra, the social butterfly.

That’s you. Idealistic, urbane, and charming, Libras are known as “people persons.” You have been blessed with these characteristics, so use them to your advantage. Don’t bury them. Let them, and you, shine.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) NOTHING is a waste of time.

Everything has meaning and everything has teachable moments. So don’t worry about taking a break, or relaxing, or daydreaming. There is a purpose to all.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) You can be quite philosophical at times, dear Sag. People enjoy your conversations because you make them think. Continue to improve your mind, and share your knowledge.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan 20) A reunion is coming your way, Capricorn. Be open to this. Be ready to explore past relationships, with a promise to work on future ones.

DONT GET CAUGHT IN THE COLD!

RUN FOR TERRY— AND AGAINST CANCER

It’s 36 years since true Canadian hero Terry Fox bravely ran his Marathon of Hope to raise money for cancer research.

But his remarkable legacy continues so strongly that on Sunday, Sept. 18, from 1-5 pm, you too can run, walk, bike, rollerblade or ride along two-km, five-km or 10-km routes in Bobcaygeon’s Terry Fox Run.

“In fact,” say organizers Joy and Jerry Mous, “last year we loved seeing some of our senior citizens participate in their motorized wheelchairs and scooters. Make this a fun day with family and friends.”

The annual run keeps Terry’s hope alive, they add, “that one day the hurting will stop and a cure for all cancers will be found.”

Students and staff at Bobcaygeon Public School will hold their own Terry Fox Event as well, but the community run is of course open to students too.

All runs start and finish at the Retirement Suites of Kawartha Lakes, 60 West Street North. Registration begins at noon and a fun, pre-walk warm-up event, led by Chris Longo, will start before 1 pm.

Pledge forms are available at local businesses or at the registration desk. Donations can also be made the day of the run or online at terryfox.org.

You can participate as an individual—or as a member of a team, which can add to the fun.

Teams can be family members, friends, co-workers, neighbours, church or community groups, or any combination thereof. “Come up with a creative name for your team, and bring as many participants as possible.”

After the run, organizers have prepared a BBQ and entertainment in the courtyard at the Retirement Suites where you can take pride in being a part of a very worthwhile cause.

For more info, contact Joy or Jerry at jmous2468@gmail.com or see Bobcaygeon’s Terry Fox Run Facebook page.

Did you know the City of Kawartha Lakes has an Environmental Advisory Committee? Do you know what the Environmental Advisory Committee does?

CKL’s Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) supports and advises council in implementing the city’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (along with other community initiatives). It’s a community-based committee that also includes members from Kawartha Conservation, Fleming College, city council, and Kawartha Field Naturalists.

Roots & Ramblings PLAN YOUR GARDEN FOR THE WHOLE SEASON

By Linda Friend, Bobcaygeon Horticultural Society

• A good winter project might be to make a realistic assessment of your garden. In the next few weeks, stroll through the village, noting which landscapes have survived this arduous summer. Take photos and notes of your own garden. Consider designing your “streetscape” for tidy foliage plants and shrubs rather than blossoms.

• Brilliant containers featuring dragon-wing begonias, geraniums, petunia varieties and trailers like sweet-potato vine will sparkle. Not every area can be colourful from May to October.

• Concentrate fall bloomers like mums, cornflower and rudbeckia (brown-eyed Susans) in one or two beds for knock-out combinations.

And as summer draws to a close, let’s celebrate the brilliance of autumn.

For gardeners, May was the optimistic month.

CHURCH DOINGS BAPTISTS MERGE

There’s a new church in two of our towns-sort of. Trentside Baptist Church, as it is now called, is the result of a merger between Village Baptist Church in Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls Baptist Church.

That makes Trentside Baptist one church in two locations, as both congregations continue to function in their long-time church buildingsBobcaygeon at the corner of Sherwood and King streets, and Fenelon Falls at 705 Colborne St.

After some painting, some new carpet and chairs, the Bobcaygeon building looks like new. On the first Sunday, more than 125 people attended, and the church has been averaging 85 to 100 weekly ever since.

The church will have its formal Bobcaygeon launch on Sunday, Sept. 25, at 10 am, with a service

followed by cake and refreshments—and everyone’s invited.

Regular worship is continuing every Sunday at both churches (at 10 am). Friendliness, great music and a message from God’s Word are promised.

There is a Sunday School program in place for children up to Grade 5. The music can be heard on the street as you pass by on a Sunday. On Wednesday Sept. 21, BLAST (a program for children) will launch.

For more information, check out TrentsideChurch.ca or call 705-887-3228.

CRAFT BEER FEST A SUCCESS

The inaugural Bobcaygeon Craft Beer and Food Festival at Kawartha Settlers’ Village on Aug. 12 drew 1,500 people to enjoy hand-crafted beers from six different regional breweries, plus delicious food and music.

With that first success under their belts, the organizers at Settlers’ Village are ready to do it again next year. “Save the date,” they say. The Bobcaygeon Craft Beer and Food Festival, volume two, will be back, bigger and better, on Saturday, August 19, 2017.

“Thank you,” they say, to all the many businesses and volunteers who contributed to the event’s success. The warm, sunny weather and the draw of that evening’s Tragically Hip concert simulcast on Bolton Street also can’t have hurt.

BEAUTIFICATION EFFORTS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

By Hayley Winterburn

While the Kawartha Lakes region has always been visually pleasing with its natural landscapes and pristine lakes, there’s always been more than meets the eye to this area as well.

The Coboconk, Norland & Area Chamber of Commerce has been working to attract growth to the area, and part of our work is accomplished through the Beautification Committee of Coboconk, Norland, and Rosedale (BC).

Since its founding, the Beautification Committee has made impressive progress. In the past two years, it has received more than $63,000 in grant funding for community beautification initiatives. This money has been put to good use on different beautification projects, such as: • seasonal banners, • fall and winter decor installations, • bikes and flowers, and • the brand new pergola that is almost completed in Norland’s Riverside Park.

The BC does more than just decorate the towns, however. It’s also responsible for installing new garbage bins and picnic tables, rejuvenating baseball

diamonds, and organizing community clean ups.

All this contributes to the aesthetic appeal to Coboconk, Norland, and Rosedale, which attracts tourists, new businesses and families to the area.

It also helps residents feel a pride of place—a connection with, and commitment to care for their community.

Just recently Coboconk held a fun “Paint, Party & Pinot” event to raise money for the Beautification Committee. It’s clear that community members see the value in beautification as tickets were sold out a week before the event, which was organized completely by volunteers.

By the way, the painting easels we used are also available to other groups to rent for their own events.

Two other groups that play a very important role in the beautification of our communities are the Norland and Coboconk Horticultural Societies, who maintain our hanging baskets, barrels, and gardens.

It is clear that the beautification of our communities is an important endeavour—one that’s best accomplished in teams. If you would like to be a part of this project, or to share your ideas, contact Jennifer at the Coboconk, Norland & Area Chamber of Commerce office at 705-454-1110.

ALL ABOUT THOSE MOOSE, ‘BOUT THOSE MOOSE, ‘BOUT THOSE MOOSE

By Glenna Burns

The Aug. 26-27 weekend in Bobcaygeon was “all about that moose.“ Well not just that one moose, but a few moose.

Moose were spotted frolicking in Port 32, in the Little Bob River, on Pigeon Lake Road and at Kings Wharf Landing.

One resident on Pigeon Lake Road saw the same beautiful dark animal on Saturday morning and evening sauntering leisurely by his pool.

Are moose an unusual sight in the Kawarthas?

Well, not really it seems. The estimated numbers of

moose in the south-central region of Ontario (Cervid Ecological zone C3) in 2015 were 141 animals.

In recent years the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MNRF) has reported a decline in the moose populations of the more Northern Ontario regions while populations have increased slightly further south.

As a whole across the province, populations are in general decline. Factors contributing to this decline are hunting, parasites/disease and climate change.

Ontario has more hunters than moose. According to the MNRF there are 98,000 provincially licensed moose hunters and 78,600 moose in “huntable areas.” Another 13,700 moose live in areas free of human hunters.

Our region is one of those off-limit areas. But maybe not for long.

A big problem for moose health, especially the young and aged, is a parasite known as brain worm.

It’s a roundworm found in the brains of white-tailed deer that doesn’t harm the deer. But when the moose ingest it death soon follows.

Winter ticks can also make a moose’s life miserable. In Ontario the average infestation of ticks on an animal is 3,800. Some animals carry many, many more of these blood sucking creatures on their

bodies.

Perhaps the biggest issue for moose (and us too), is climate change. Moose do not tolerate warm springs and autumns. Heat stress affects feeding patterns, which impacts body fat resources and calf milk quantity. Weak calves are more vulnerable to predators.

So as temperatures warm, moose are looking for ways to stay cool and forage for food. The MNRF is reporting that moose are migrating further south.

We can likely expect more sightings of this spectacular and important animal in the Kawarthas.

Hopefully not in the neighbour’s pool.

Health & Wellness 20,000 HOMES—WHAT WE KNOW NOW

Dependence on emergency health services was astoundingly high among the 112 homeless people surveyed about housing and health-care needs in Kawartha Lakes-Haliburton last month.

Eighty-one of the 112 people without permanent homes reported visiting a hospital emergency room at least every other month, for a total of 246 ER visits over the last six months.

Also in the last six months: 31 of the 112 people required a total of 58 ambulance trips; and 35 were hospitalized as inpatients a total of 86 times.

Surveyors with the Kawartha Lakes-Haliburton chapter of the 20,000 Homes campaign shared their initial survey results in a community update at the Coboconk Community Centre on Friday, Aug. 26—the end of their week of initial research (Registry Week).

Organizers also expressed surprise at the high number of homeless in the communities overall.

Seventy-eight of the 112 homeless people identified were in Lindsay. Eight were in the outer areas of Kawartha Lakes, and 26 were in Haliburton County.

Forty-seven people (42 percent) told the 40 volunteers and professional staff who conducted the surveys that they “do not have planned activities each day that bring happiness and fulfillment, other than simply surviving.”

Survey sites included known areas with unsheltered individuals, within agencies that provide services to the homeless populations, at food banks and libraries and at special events in parks across the city and county. The volunteers and staff also worked to create public awareness around homelessness.

“We will use the results of the campaign to prioritize actions and work with stakeholders to increase the co-ordination of resources for the most vulnerable in our community,” said CKL’s Director of Human Services Rod Sutherland.

The survey is a key first step in the Kawartha Lakes-Haliburton campaign to end homelessness, which includes a commitment to house 24 of the most vulnerable homeless in our communities by July

THE ‘THREE AMIGOS’ OF BODY TOXICITY

By Benjamin Stone

Do you have any of these conditions?

Occupational Stress?

Unlevel Pelvis?

Short Leg?

Low Back pain/ Spinal Instability?

Hip Pain?

Knee Pain?

Are you going through life battling with fatigue, brain fog, weight-loss resistance, and hormonal issues, to name a few?

According to Dr. Daniel Pompa, the founder of the True Cellular Detox program, the “Three Amigos” of a toxic body are: biotoxins, heavy metals, and infections.

Biotoxins are living organisms (moulds, candida yeasts, and other fungi and parasites), organic chemicals (herbicides and pesticides), GMOs (genetically modified organisms), and mycotoxins (like the aflatoxins found in peanuts).

Heavy metals include mercury and other toxic metals found in amalgams, inorganic ingredients in processed foods, as well as non-certified-organic food sources grown in nutrient-deficient and toxic soil. In other words, conventionally grown foods that can be or include GMOs, and have been treated with pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.

Please note that chemicals always contain toxic heavy metals as part of their makeup. Additionally, this includes environmental pollution as well.

Infections are often dental in nature, such as root canals. Other common areas of infection include urinary tract, sexual organs, sinuses, ears and hidden imbalances in the gut flora, like candida and other fungi, e-coli, salmonella, parasites and other pathogens.

These Three Amigos of a toxic body are the culprits that lead to a host of diseases in our body.

In the next article, I will explain how the Three Amigos cause cellular inflammation, break down our natural detoxification ability, cripple our ability to

LEARN TO BE A HOSPICE VOLUNTEER

The Community Care Health and Care Network is offering training courses for people interested in volunteering with the agency’s Hospice Services. The Hospice Core Training begins Sept. 20.

Community Care’s Hospice Services supports hundreds of local residents dealing with serious illness and grief. The training courses teach volunteers how to support others through a journey of illness, grief and bereavement with confidence.

There will be five classroom sessions, combined with a new online-training module developed by the Hospice Palliative Care Ontario Association. Volunteers must attend the classroom sessions and complete the online training before they can work with clients, says Carolyn Parkes, Palliative Program Co-ordinator.

The classroom sessions will be held at Hospice offices, 2 Kent St. W., Lindsay. Training topics include: the Hospice Palliative Care philosophy, listening and communication, attitudes towards death and dying, family dynamics, ethical decision making, comfort measures for end of life, pain and symptom management, care for the caregiver, bereavement and

PARTNERSHIPS ARE RMH’S ‘SCHEER’ DELIGHT

Since 2007, Therese Scheer has raised $88,762 for the breast health program at Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH), through a pile of golf tournaments, fashion show and dance events, ornament sales, raffles, and bake sales.

Her goal is to raise $100,000 in ten years—in other words, by next year.

It started with a visit to the hospital’s Diagnostic Imaging Department in 2007, where Therese learned that some of the breast-screening equipment needed upgrading.

Wanting to help, she came up with a simple plan.

She invited friends to golf together, and collected donations from the group.

Building on that success, she then challenged golfers at other courses around the City of Kawartha Lakes, with fabulous results.

IN MEMORY

RAYNER, JOHN ( IAN) In memory of my dear husband who passed away Sept 17, 2010.

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new.

I thought about you yesterday and the days before that too.

I think of you in silence,

I often speak your name.

All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is a keepsake from which I’ll never part.

God has you in His arms, I have you in my heart.

Love always, your wife Eileen

es Our Explore magazin reach far and wide

As you wander around the Kawarthas—and throughout southern Ontario—you’re sure to come across displayed copies of Explore Bobcaygeon and Explore Fenelon Falls, our full-colour, glossy digests that promote the Kawartha’s best businesses and attractions.

• Pet Valu advertises in Explore Bobcaygeon because pets need food, treats and all sorts of accessories to keep both owners and animals happy. Pet Valu knows Explore Bobcaygeon is the best way to show folks it’s the supplier of choice in Bobcaygeon.

• The Kawartha Lakes Trading Post chooses Explore Fenelon Falls because as a landmark general store, trading post, bakery, deli and restaurant that has served tourists and residents for many years on Highway 35, they understand how important it is to keep their name and brand foremost in the public’s mind.

• Community Care puts advertisements in both our Explore magazines because they offer important and necessary social and health services to the people of the area. They know residents as much as visitors, pick up these attractive and informative digests and keep them around the home as a ready reference to the region.

Every January we publish and distribute more than 20,000 copies of brand new editions of Explore Bobcaygeon and Explore Fenelon Falls to local businesses and tourist outlets across southern Ontario.

They remain available through the year, so your ad will be seen and read by thousands of tourists, cottagers and year-round residents—all potential customers.

Call Laura 705-738-6188 for details.

Running against depression

Clay Williams will run 750 kms this month— including right through our own backyard—as he fights his own personal battle against the debilitating disease of depression.

The Kawartha Promoter

is supported entirely by our advertisers. We encourage you to choose the businesses that you see in these pages. We do.

34 September 9, 2016 - The Kawartha Promoter

From Sept. 11-23, Williams will run along the Trent Severn Waterway and the Rideau Canal, passing by 88 locks, averaging 60 km a day, and ending on Parliament Hill.

He has partnered with the Mood Disorders Society of Canada and their Defeat Depression campaign, and is running in honour of his wife, daughter and sister—who all suffer from mood disorders—and in memory of his two older brothers who lost their battles with depression.

Williams’ goal is to raise funds, to increase awareness of depression, and to end the stigma of mental illness that often stops people from reaching out for help.

His message is simple: Talk to someone you trust.

Every year, one in five Canadians will experience a mental illness or a mental health problem. That means that mental illness impacts virtually every family in the land—from all socio-economic, educational, and cultural backgrounds.

“As a society,” he says, “we must all work together to raise awareness, provide timely supports, and reduce and ultimately eliminate harmful stigma.”

To learn more about Clay and support his journey, go to: mdsc.akaraisin.com/canalpursuit.

CRACKED SCREEN? WATER DAMAGE?

We can fix that!

Testimonial:

I’m a typical cell phone user. I update my device every couple of years, and the team at The Bell Store on Kent Street in downtown Lindsay has always taken great care of me. They have consistently provided excellent advice on updating, and seamless service transferring data between phones.

I recently learned about their other services, including restoration. You know, when your child drops your phone and the glass smashes into pieces. Or when you get pushed into the lake by that not-so-funny friend, and your cell phone goes phtt. They can fix it.

The staff can navigate a device and work through issues that seem impossible. They are super friendly and amazing at what they do.

Give them a try. You’ll be glad you did.

Bring your tablet or phone in today, you’ll be glad you did.
