PAPER CUTS

Nudge I’ve always said there are two kinds of people in the world: Those who watch Coronation Street and those who don’t.

(We’ll disregard fans that watch but won’t admit it. Put it this way, would you recognize Tyrone if he walked into your local?)

There are as many categories as there are people on this planet--including those who don’t want to be included in any category at all. Why do people do this, anyway? Do dogs categorize each other? Chipmunks? Dolphins?

One of the things that distinguish us as human beings is the ability—that is, responsibility--to develop and nurture a social conscience.

The great thing about cultivating a social conscience is that you have the power to rise above the categories. No boundaries of any kind.

It’s important we don’t allow our efforts to propel us from the micro to the macro without touching ground. In other words, don’t overlook family—extended or otherwise--in favour of community and world. Either extreme creates the potential for losing your balance. The fact is, social conscience begins with self.

Then you teach your kids. Set examples for siblings and friends—and vice versa.

Cover Photo: Susan Simmons

And on we go. Balance, explore.

Think. Do.

I like to wear things that are symbolic.

A piece of jewellery that is meaningful to me is my silver pendant inscribed: I close my eyes so I can see.

It’s that touchstone. A mental and emotional nudge, even if it’s sitting in my jewellery box.

I don’t know about you, but like them or not, nudges are necessary.

Although I know a lot of things, I don’t know it all. Things I do know, I don’t always remember. Sometimes I allow my priorities to get shuffled. Sometimes I lose sight of what is good and fair and right.

It took many wyears to be recognize and admit this.

September is like a rehearsal to the New Year. Time to take inventory, refocus, and re-direct energy and efforts and priorities.

A dear friend used to say there are two kinds of people in the world: Those who divide people into categories and those who don’t.

As you read your issue of The Promoter, overlook any categories and “close your eyes.”

You might see more than you even imagined possible.

All opinions expressed are those of the writer.

Editor:

I see where the council is going to start talking about the budget and according to what I read the advisory committee says their goal is 2.5%. What happened to ZERO increase? (Where did all the DOLLARS amalgamation was supposed to save...go to???) but then again there is a lot of work NOT being done but taxpayers dollars in this MISTAKE are going to a North West Trunk Line that the amount just keeps climbing, should we go through the river, under the river or over the river and now the MOE says they have to look at over the river so all options are looked at, more dollars.

Then you come to Fenelon and look at what I call the white elephant that the cost kept rising on and then they spend money and build a ridiculous roundabout at the entrance (that very busy intersection) and again, according to what I am told many vehicles can’t even drive around it and next they will be ripping up the street, again, to finish the sewage hook up and they just had to redo part of the roof.

OK so they set a budget but did you know, that on your last tax bill it listed the various items, like the debt for the donation to the hospital and according to what I am told by some that it is already paid, I don’t know, just what I have been told, BUT on top of that you see fire etc...and, then there is a line called PRIOR YEAR DEFICIT re: fire and some folks tell me in Lindsay they ALSO have PRIOR YEAR DEFICIT re: transit....so that means it doesn’t matter what the budget is, if you go over we just hit the taxpayers for the DEFICIT on a separate line.

ALSO, I read the article that says they have RAMPED up the issue of those farmers having stands on their property to try and sell you some of the goods they have grown, can you imagine with ALL the money the farmers make, they try and have us buy good, local grown, fresh products, so the Mistakes decides it is better do what we can to make sure they don’t make tooooo much money.

Oh well, it is easier to hit taxpayers with more fees and headaches to collect $$$ than to listen to them.

In this MISTAKE we have more cows than people.

Is this what happens when the CITY comes to the COUNTRY and tells the country folks how they should be living. MAYBE the country folk should call it what it is COW SH__ and the CITY should get out of our COUNTY. Just my thoughts.

Re: HOW STUPID CAN THEY GET?

Just come down to Bass Lake Road. They have taken a perfectly good paved road and put gravel on it.

Why, we are not sure.

It has created a lot of dust and a less stable surface.

CANAL SYSTEM

In order to maintain the canal system and the economies along the canal, one of the fairest ways to raise revenue is through the users.

While not all boaters use the canal possibly increasing locking fees and boat and or trailer registration fees might attract the funds required.

Persons employed as a result of an efficient and well-funded system pay property, income and consumption taxes. Reduction of employment would reduce the benefit these taxes have to the municipal provincial and federal coffers.

Let’s retain this great asset!

ANOTHER SUCCESS Fiddle and Step 2012

A Florida resident who has been cottaging in the Kawarthas for 55 years has been coming to the Ontario Open Fiddle and Step Dance Competition for almost as long!

This year marked the 43rd anniversary of the contest. A survey, completed by out-oftown guests revealed that while some visitors were at the competition to accompany family members who were competing (including Natalie MacMaster’s family), others came to Bobcaygeon purely to enjoy the competition and the Kawartha Lakes area.

One survey respondent related a story of a fiddling competitor in the past that swam across the Little Bob Channel to reach the contest just in time to perform in a dripping wet bathing suit!

Needless to say, he won the competition. There was no mention of whether he accepted his prize fully clothed.

While not in the arena tapping their toes to fiddling and step dancing, visitors reported enjoying shopping, dining, the farmer’s market, the Kawartha Dairy, the boat tour, theatre, Settler’s Village, golfing, boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, site-seeing and garage-sale-ing. However, socializing with friends and relaxing was top of the list.

Many people commented on how enjoyable and interesting the event was. They felt it was a great opportunity for performers, both young and mature. In addition, they said it was very well organized and the staff was warm and friendly.

They definitely want the contest to continue!

The 43rd annual Ontario Open Fiddle and Step Dance Competition was held in the Bobcaygeon Arena July 27 and 28, 2012. It was financially

supported in part by a grant from the City of Kawartha Lakes, Special Events Development Partnership Fund.

The directors appreciate the grant received from The City Of Kawartha Lakes, financial assistance from the Bobcaygeon Agricultural Society for sponsoring the Open Fiddle and Step Dance championship awards and from the numerous other sponsors and advertisers who participated in the program. A sincere thank you is also extended to the many volunteers, who organized, facilitated and ran the competition.

Without all of this support such a popular, worthwhile and entertaining event would not be possible.

Re: Letter to the Editor from last issue

I would be remiss if I didn’t also thank everyone involved in making Bolton Street a great success. I am truly heartened by the community spirit shown by everyone involved. The flowerbeds, baskets and streetscape look beautiful! All the banners look great and they add that special touch to our downtown!

Well Done, everyone!!!

City Hall

The North West Trunk Sewer Project

Special By Gord Killen

The next Council meeting is not scheduled until Sept. 11. In the meantime, there are a couple of things to consider in this abbreviated report.

AMO

The Association of Municipalities of Ontario has reappointed Ward 8 Councillor Donna Villemaire, to the Board of Directors. Donna has been with AMO since 2007. The AMO is a non-profit organization and its mandate is to support and enhance strong and effective municipal government in Ontario.

Every municipality in Ontario is eligible to become a municipal member of the AMO. The appointment of Villemaire is from 2012 - 2014.

At the last council meeting you may recall, it was decided, by the slimmest of margins, to bore or drill under the Scugog River rather than run a pipeline over the bridge as suggested by Councillor James. Now, out of the blue, the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) has stepped into the picture and is apparently insisting that all options should be reviewed and considered.

What is not clear is what caused the MOE to come forward and why now? This project has been in the planning stages for years. Why were they not consulted as a matter of course during the initial stages of the planning of the NWT?

Now we will surely see the costs escalate and will the developers be willing to still participate?

Electoral Boundaries

The Electoral Commission has suggested adding/ changing the electoral boundaries for our area and if this becomes a reality it would split the City of Kawartha Lakes in two. Essentially, Lindsay and area south would be part of Cobourg, Port Hope whereas Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls and area north would be part of Haliburton. Both our representatives, MP Barry Devolin, Federal and our MPP Laurie Scott, Provincial are against this move. So what, I thought.

The GTA is split into far more electoral areas than we would be. Big deal, I thought.

However, when I gave it further consideration, there are some possible dark clouds on the horizon should this change in boundaries be put into place.

Consider that since the City of Kawartha Lakes was originally conceived and has become a reality by a Provincial edict, not everyone is happy. True, there has been significant energy spent on harmonizing and putting the disparate pieces into a whole.

Still, there are deep-seated feelings regarding this change.

Now it seems to me that this move could negate the gains made and could very well have a negative impact, almost like the North versus the South.

Plus, when it comes to seeking Provincial or Federal assistance for the City of Kawartha Lakes, our council will now have to gain the assistance of two Federal MP’s and two Provincial MPP’s, double the members of parliament than we deal with today.

And that is just the beginning. I, for one, hope this change is either squashed or changed for the better.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE UPDATE Cars, Chamber Job in Your Future

If you fondly remember the days of 40-horsepower runabouts that sped around at a blazing 40 miles per hour on 40-cent-a-gallon gasoline, you’ll want to take in Bobcaygeon’s 17 Annual Cruisefest Antique and Classic Vehicle Show.

Another Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce community event, with Gus Brown’s Edgetown Ford-Lincoln as event sponsor, it happens at the fairgrounds between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm on Sunday, September 16.

Last year’s Cruisefest attracted 258 vehicles and, because Bobcaygeon is widely regarded as an excellent day’s outing destination, this year’s show promises to welcome as many or more.

Calling all good men and women! The Chamber’s Annual General Meeting will be held at the Service Centre, East Street South and King Street East at 7:00 pm, Tuesday, October 30. Reports, kudos and criticisms and refreshments will be served.

The Chamber has been fortunate over the years in attracting really good people who have shown their dedication to Bobcaygeon, its businesses and all that goes into making our community the fine place it is by giving their time and talents to the Chamber’s events, programs and activities as “working directors.”

There are 14 committees in two categories, seven that oversee the Chamber’s operations and seven that plan our community events -- the Awards Dinner Evening, Unlock the Summer, Bikefest, Canada-U.S. Walleye Tournament, Midnight Madness, Cruisefest and Christmas House Tour.

There could be a place for you on the Board of Directors. All it takes is having a member nominate you--there are more than 250, so they won’t be hard to find--and standing up at the meeting.

DID YOU KNOW?

Bobcaygeon Farmer’s Market The recent Corn Roast held at the Farmer’s Market might not have been quite the success it was were it not for two significant donations.

“Uncle Ivan” Fisher contributed all of the delicious corn while British Empire Fuels contributed the propane used to cook it. Add that to the tireless spirit of the volunteers and you get an event we’re still talking about!

ARE WE NEARLY THERE YET?

By David Sparkes

Apparently it takes about 30 minutes into a long car ride for a child to call out those immortal words which will then be repeated ad nauseam during the rest of the trip. As far as I know research has not been carried out on how long it takes for parents to utter something similar after the school year ends and the long summer vacation starts. I suspect that many moms and dads will be sighing with relief that the kids are heading back to school. It’s been a long hot summer and we can all agree that global warming is not a myth; but hey, be careful what you wish for!

For most of us there is certain sadness about the Labour Day weekend and the fact that another summer draws to an end. We probably have several more weeks of warm weather to enjoy but it is not the same once the schools re-open and the tourists and summer folk have gone. Another summer has come and gone and we are older and hopefully a little wiser. It puts a whole different meaning on the words those children repeat: Are we nearly there yet?

The thing we must remember is that it’s all about the journey and not the destination. It’s about enjoying the experience and not looking back or anticipating the future. It’s easy to say but not so easy to do. But it’s the very reason the child who is cooped up in the back of a car begins to repeat his mantra after a short period of confinement.

Children want to enjoy the moment and I guess it’s not so easy to do that when you’re strapped into a car seat. We dash from here to there in search of enjoyment, sometimes sacrificing hours of precious time in the process and arriving in a state of mind which prevents the very enjoyment we are seeking.

Perhaps we should learn from the kids.

Every season has something to offer and it’s up to us to find enjoyment in every day of every season and every year. Most important of all, I believe, we should try to avoid putting our lives on hold while we await some future event. No regrets about the past and no thoughts about being “nearly there”.

Live for the moment and enjoy!

You don’t have to look far to find words which underline the truth, even as simple as the words in a song written by the late John Lennon in the song Beautiful Boy: Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.

They’re available at My Favourite Things, The Promoter, My Kawartha and at our office. “At the door” tickets will be $12.00 each, while available.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION Come Help Us Build

Sam Mawhinney, Sports Officer, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 239, and Pat Thurston, Advertising Sales Manager, The Promoter, graciously and gratefully accepted cheques from Just For The Halibut’s, Matt Leaver.

Matt contributed $300 each to the Legion and The Promoter’s Mega Blok project to help build a Habitat for Humanity house, along with an equally generous donation to Bobcaygeon Helps Food Bank.

Matt explains the proceeds resulted from their, “First Annual Golf Tournament,” held August 20.

Twenty participants paid registration fees of non-perishable food items for the Food Bank.

The event included lunch at Just For The Halibut although, according to Matt, “Nobody was cooking that day. It was a cold lunch.”

He extends thanks to the participants and all local businesses that donated tournament prizes.

Bobc

A dollar per piece! Each of us-as individuals, as a team, as an extended community-can build (and landscape!) this Mega Blok house. We need your help!

Come and use your imagination. Build a Blok in honour of your children, grandchildren…anyone and everyone you know who would appreciate this wonderful gesture of humanity.

The Mega Blok house must be built by Monday, September 17, 2012. Tick tock!

Habitat for Humanity is a not-for-profit organization that builds simple, decent houses and sells them, with no down payment or interest charges, to low income working families seeking affordable and safe housing. The first home is slated for Lindsay.

Please, gather your group and individual dollars and drop them in to The Promoter office and build with us!

More than 100 people showed up to the August 24th grand opening of The Kawartha Store in Fenelon Falls.

Models wearing gorgeous pieces by Joseph Ribkoff, Frank Lyman, Soft Works, Robert Kitchen, Miik, Ezee Wear, and Gitane offered guests locally made wine while Catfish Willie and the Cue Balls played western swing tunes in the garden.

Mayor Ric McGee was there for a ribbon cutting ceremony and councilors Doug Elmsley and Stephen Strangway were also in attendance.

Owners Trish Dougherty and John Rufa expressed thanks to a long list of people.

Manager Cheryl Dyer agrees that the community has been incredibly supportive.

“With the opening of The Kawartha Store, Trish and John brought with them such great ideas as to what they wanted to add to Fenelon Falls, and, as they progressed, the excitement of local residents and the members of the Fenelon Forward Committee and our great Chamber of Commerce fuelled their excitement. I am thrilled that we seem to be helping to create a positive buzz in town and truly hope that what we are offering compliments the many great shops and services that already exist here.”

The new store features Canadian made clothing along with a range of gourmet food

by Kawartha Country Wines.

Their slogan is “A River Runs Through It”, as the store also features a small river viewable through a glass floor.

Bobcaygeon Helps Food Bank welcomed Bill Laidlaw, Executive Director Ontario Association of Food Banks, Carolyn Stewart, Associate Operations Manager and Debra Hubner Member & Government Relations Coordinator.

BOBCAYGEON HELPS

By Susan Simmons

The need doesn’t go away. We don’t eat dinner one day and that’s it. In an ideal world, we get three balanced meals and a couple of nutritious snacks.

Every day.

Nourishment.

That’s what the human body requires, isn’t it?

It is our right. Isn’t it?

Sadly, it doesn’t necessarily work that way.

So, the question Ontario Association of Food Banks (OAFB) Executive Director, Bill Laidlaw asked Bobcaygeon Helps Food Bank management and volunteers was, “What do you need from us?

What can we do to help you help the clients you serve?”

Laidlaw, along with Debra Hubner, Government Relations Coordinator, and Carolyn Stewart, Associate Operations Manager, was visiting area food banks on a fact-finding mission.

The goal: Determine how the provincial association can advocate for and support the agencies that try to meet a need that doesn’t end.

They agreed to focus on ways to create consistency in obtaining and supplying enough food to go around, year ‘round.

Options include: partnering with more corporate organizations and associations for

financial and product donations; ongoing food and financial contributions from service clubs, businesses and individuals and enlisting additional assistance within the community to develop more ways to create partnerships.

“If you don’t knock, no one knows you’re there,” said Laidlaw. They knock. And knock. And talk. And ask.

It has to be that way.

He said perception is one of the biggest challenges. Were it not for negative—or mistaken-perceptions of food banks and the clients who use them, people would likely do more to help.

“There are people who don’t even know what a food bank is. It’s a part of life that some people don’t really want to think about.”

The key to creating an informed, positive image is communication, visibility and education.

Increase public awareness of both the need and the reason for the need.

Laidlaw said, “The food bank client may be someone who is retired and struggling, or lost their job, is between jobs, or a single parent. Anyone.

Just people who need assistance to get on with their lives. There is always something we can do to make things better.”

As for Bobcaygeon Helps Food Bank, there have been numerous generous and innovative projects resulting in donations over past months.

However, it is an ongoing and necessary request for community help.

“We need more food and more nutritious food,” said General Manager, Sue McGill.

Because, as much as we’d like it to be so, the need does not go away.

Bobcaygeon Helps is open Tuesdays and Fridays, 2 to 4 pm; Park Street Entrance of Christ Anglican Church, Bobcaygeon. To donate, contact bobhelps@sympatico.ca.

TOP TIPS FOR SCHOOL SUCCESS

How To Put the “Home” Back in “Homework” After a long hot summer it can be tough to get kids back into a routine, and focused on homework. But homework is a key part of your child’s education, and it’s important that they not only complete it, but also understand what they’ve learned.

1. Develop a daily routine by setting aside a specific time each day/evening for homework.

2. Provide a quiet, well-lit place with basic school supplies.

3. Understand your child’s style of learning – this will help you develop a personalized homework plan for your child.

4. It’s not uncommon for kids to get overwhelmed with big assignments or projects. Help them break the project down into smaller steps. Work on pieces throughout the week and do the hard parts on the weekend.

5. Talk with your child’s teacher and be aware of their method of teaching. Help your child by using familiar terms and examples.

6. Don’t reserve learning to homework hour. Make learning a part of daily life.

7. If your child gets frustrated or distracted with their homework, allow them to take a short break. If this frustration continues, talk with your child’s teacher to determine if a tutor might be needed.

8. To reinforce comprehension and memory skills, take 10 minutes to talk about the stories you’ve read together.

9 Show your child that the skills they are learning relate to real life. If your child is learning math, for example, balance your cheque book or have them count out change for you.

10. Teach your child to be independent. Offer to help them with difficult homework challenges, but then let them complete the remainder on their own.

LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS SEEK INPUT ON IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES Over the next few weeks, local organizations providing health services to the residents of Haliburton County are distributing surveys to their staff, board members, volunteers, the general public and their health care partners to get their input and advice as the group continues working on the development of a new DRAFT Service Delivery Model.

The Haliburton County Integration PlanningTeam (IPT) includes representatives from Community Care Haliburton County, Haliburton Highlands Health Services, and SIRCH Community Service. Unique to the Haliburton County integration process, two critical partners, the Central East Community Care Access Centre and the Haliburton Highlands Family Health Team have been included on the IPT because of their significant contribution to service delivery to local residents. The IPT has been working together since the spring to develop a new Service Delivery Model for local health care that will improve access and ensure that their organizations are ready to meet the needs of a changing population.

Their work is part of a larger Community Health Services Integration Strategy project, being facilitated by the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) that was approved by the Central East LHIN Board in February 2012 and is focused on delivering better care, a better health care experience and value for money in the community.

One survey, which is available through each of the organization’s offices and on the Central East LHIN website, asks people three questions: When you need community and/or health services...

1. Are you able to find what you need?

2. Is it easy for you to find what you need?

3. What would help you find what you need?

A second survey for the organizations staff, board members, volunteers and other health service providers asks how they, as a community of service providers, can better support people to access services and how this could be reflected in a new Service Delivery Model.

DEADLINE! Do you want to submit editorial, Make sure yours is included.

The next deadline for The Promoter is WEDNSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12.

PS: Please email Susan, editor@thepromoter.ca, for your copy of editorial submission guidelines.

STIGMA HINDERS TREATMENT & AWARENESS One of Canada’s Leading Causes of Disability

According to a recent poll conducted by The Arthritis Society, more than a quarter of Canadians report that if they had joint pain, they would not view it as a health priority and close to half still believe that joint pain primarily affects older Canadians. These and other stigmas surrounding arthritis have far-reaching implications for all Canadians, including costing our economy almost $33 billion.

“Arthritis is one of the leading causes of disability in the country,” says Joanne Simons, Executive Director of The Arthritis Society, Ontario Division.

“With September being Arthritis Awareness Month, our goal is to bring the common misperceptions about arthritis to the forefront so that Canadians better understand the disease and seek treatment and support. Arthritis is not just aches and pains; it is not just an inevitable part of getting older.”

Missy McGuire, Manager, Renal and Diabetic Programs at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre, understands the importance of making joint health a priority. Investigating swelling in her ankles the size of tennis balls, she was ultimately diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

“It took some time, but I accept that I have this disease,” says McGuire. “In my acceptance, I tell myself that it’s ok for me to indulge in self-care in order to live the life that I want, whether it’s a hot wax treatment or going to bed early. I put myself first when I need to, so that I have energy left for everyone else,” she adds.

“People who do not consider joint pain a health priority are at risk of developing life-altering symptoms down the road, including severe pain and inflammation, fatigue, joint damage, loss of mobility, potential surgery, physical and emotional fatigue and possible psychological effects,” says Janet Yale,

President and CEO of The Arthritis Society.

The poll results are concerning to The Society because the disease not only puts people living with arthritis at risk, it has far-reaching socio-economic implications for all Canadians. The poll, conducted

by Ipsos Reid, was made possible through the generous support of Rub-A535®.

Not only can arthritis inhibit daily activities most take for granted, such as getting dressed, opening a door or holding a fork, it impacts people in the workplace, costing the Canadian economy billions.

This September, The Society is launching the ultimate go-to resource for Canadians – a new website: www.arthritis.ca. It offers visitors customized information on types of arthritis, options for treatment and advice from experts. Some of the unique features of the website include a portal providing access to tips on living well and invitations to educational and community events; a large collection of online educational presentations and resources to help users manage daily activities and take charge of their disease; and engaging discussion boards, empowering users to connect and create their own discussion topics and private groups.

ABOUT THE ARTHRITIS SOCIETY The Arthritis Society is dedicated to a vision of Living well while creating a future without arthritis.

It is Canada’s principal health charity providing education, programs and support to 4.6 million Canadians with arthritis and their loved ones.

Since its founding in 1948, The Society has been the largest non-government funder of arthritis research in Canada by investing more than $180 million in projects that have led to breakthroughs in the diagnosis, treatment and care of people with arthritis.

grilled cheese hideaway ...yum, right? the practically hip. reuben tuesday. total meltdown. za.

These are grilled cheese sandwiches?

Indeed they are. Each has a distinct personality-just like their inventors—and names as eclectic as the flavours, art, music and overall ambiance that reflect The Grilled Cheese Hideaway.

Ask Daniel and Christopher why they chose to introduce a restaurant that features grilled cheese, of all things. “It’s the ultimate comfort food!” they say.

“And we can always reinvent a grilled cheese with different ingredients,” adds Daniel.

In short order, the options have already evolved. Christopher said he began making chutney and jams to use in The Hideaway and people were buying jars of it. Now he invests evenings creating the delicious preserves.

Coming soon are coffee, tea and desserts.

The emphasis is everything fresh, homemade and local where possible, plus award-winning products from Mariposa Dairy and Empire Cheese. In addition to the menu, you’ll find weekly specials of salads, sandwiches and soups. There’s always a pot of homemade creamy tomato simmering, plus one revolving option such as the delicious black bean, lime and cilantro or fresh corn chowder.

The team plans to offer an ongoing adventure of new soups, sandwiches, art and music. Christopher explains their goal is, “To make a space that everyone and anyone can like and feel comfortable in.”

“There is a creative, sophisticated crowd in Bobcaygeon,” says Daniel, who summered here his whole life. The decision to move from Toronto was an easy one.

Registered members of the Chamber of Commerce as both a restaurant and an art gallery, they are on the watch for new artists to exhibit their work. In the interest of inspiring and promoting talent, they do not charge commission on art sales.

33 King St East

The restaurant is quirky, comfortable and spotless.

They say,” We were going for the really homey cabin in the woods feeling, with something great to look at in every direction.”

It’s working. The only distraction may be the delicious food.

Go there. Find out for yourself. Ask for Daniel or Christopher. And maybe The Great Northern.

The Grilled Cheese Hideway is at 33 King Street East, Bobcaygeon. Open all year, closed Thursdays. Contact grilledcheesehideaway@ gmail.com. Phone 705.821.2137.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR KAWARTHA ARTS FESTIVAL Wonderful weather, wonderful art, people and more people!

Artist Eddie LePage

ANNUAL ART AUCTION Windows of the Community

On an ideal summer’s evening, approximately 80 people congregated at the Stewart Morrison Insurance office on Bolton Street in Bobcaygeon for the “Windows of the Community” art auction.

It was an apt title as all the donated offerings depicted ‘windows’ as the focal point of the art exhibit. This is the first time the United Way, Community Living and the Lindsay Art Gallery collaborated in this worthwhile effort.

Before the serious bidding started, those attending had an opportunity to sample horsd’oeuvres from Savoury’s.

The Mistress of Ceremonies of the evening was ably handled by Peterborough radio station 96.7 newscaster, Deb Crossen. Bruce Kellett, Blackstock, Ontario, volunteered his services as the auctioneer for the evening and $1,410 was raised for these worthy causes.

If, for some reason, you missed this one, take heart-another one is planned for September 11th at the Lindsay Golf and Country Club.

It is a breakfast auction starting at 7:30 am and many media type people will be there.

Horoscope

For September 7 to 19, 2012

by Melodie Mc Cullough

Aries (March 21 to April 20) The astrological traits of an Aries show that you are... drum roll, please... adventurous! Who knew?

Why have you been sitting at that desk all this time when what you really want to do is explore the big wide world, sail across the seas and let the wind carry you wherever? Get going now!

or barley moon. The aboriginal belief is that the moon at this time teaches us the cycle of life. Each cob of corn has 13 rows of seeds representing the spirits waiting to begin their Earth Walk. These are the future generations for whom we must prepare.

Perhaps an announcement of a new birth in your family is in the near future, Virgo!

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) It’s not too late to make amends, hold up your hands and apologize. Taking the time to sit and talk things over can only improve your relationship and bring you closer together, dear Taurus. Don’t put it off – it’s too important.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Friends are like angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Sometimes, however, it seems that everyone else has the best friends, and the most fun with them, and you, Libra, are left alone. Do NOT feel sorry for yourself! Get out there and make friends by being a friend. Often the best friends are the ones who also need a friend!

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Feeling burnt-out, panicky, nervous, exhausted?

Your astrological colour, Gemini, is yellow! Like the energy of a bright sunny day, yellow brings clarity and awareness and is full of creative and intellectual energy. It also symbolizes wisdom, joy and happiness. So put some yellow in your life when you want relief from ‘burnout’, a sharp memory and protection from lethargy and depression!

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) “Immature love says I love you because I need you; mature love says I need you because I love you.”

(Erich Fromm). Are you mature enough, Cancer, to know the difference? Take a long look at the love in your life and work at making sure the love comes first, before everything else.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) A new love is waiting to surround you, Leo! Its warmth will melt your heart and send you to the stars. What more can we say? Welcome and embrace it.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) There’s a new moon rising on the 15th, Virgo, and, as you know, this is your phase as well. This moon is known by various names – fruit moon, corn moon

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) There’s an old saying about child rearing: the child that is hardest to love is the one who needs love the most. Perhaps you are in a relationship with a child, Scorpio, and it seems like they don’t need you or want you in their life, right now. Don’t give up. Be there, and remember the above advice.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) New beginnings are everywhere! Summer is over, the kids are back in school, and you, dear Sag, can now focus on yourself for a change. What new adventures would you like to try? There are all kinds of exciting experiences, new programs and classes right here in the Kawarthas. Start looking now!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) We know you are bursting at the seams with fresh ideas and visions, Capricorn, but please take things slowly. Do not rush headlong into the unknown. Pause for a moment and consider all twists and turns.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) You are in control of your own destiny, Aquarius, and don’t ever forget it or let someone take that control away from you. Especially now, you must stay strong and forge your own path, at your own pace.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Allow yourself to be open to other people’s opinions and ideas and you may be pleasantly surprised, Pisces, with the outcome. However, do be on guard for those who may try to talk you into something for which you have no desire.

Understanding Residential Mortgages Barbara Hnatiak Financial Security Advisor A mortgage may be the largest investment in your life, and the right mortgage is an essential part of a comprehensive financial security plan. Whether you are looking to buy your first home or renew your current mortgage, it’s important to understand the steps and strategies that can help you when considering a mortgage option for your situation.

Pre-qualifying for a mortgage can help you set realistic expectations when shopping for a new home or when you plan to move.

Amortization (length of time to pay off a mortgage) and frequency (how often you make payments) are two very important considerations. The example below is based on the following assumptions: a $100,000 mortgage, 4% interest rate and 25-year amortization.

The table helps illustrate how accelerating your payment frequency can help save you money in interest over the term of your mortgage.

Renewing your mortgage You know a mortgage can help you purchase a home, but it can also help you use your home’s value to finance other priorities. When it’s time to renew, things to consider include: refinancing for renovations, debt consolidation, or topping up your RRSP contributions. If you want to eliminate mortgage debt, you may also consider increasing your payments, changing the amortization or frequency, or paying down the balance.

For more information about how a mortgage may fit into your financial security plan, you can have your financial security advisor put you in contact with a London Life mortgage planning specialist to discuss a variety of mortgage solutions.

Barbara E. Hnatiak is a financial security advisor with Freedom 55 Financial, a division of London Life Insurance Company.

GREAT REWARDS Big Brothers Big Sister Month

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kawartha Lakes-Haliburton is celebrating September as Big Brother Big Sister Month. This is a yearly event that is celebrated across Canada. It is a chance for all of us to recognize all the great things that big brothers and big sisters do throughout the year.

Jim DeFlorio, Executive Director, said 2012 has been a busy year overall for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kawartha Lakes-Haliburton. It all started with new branding and an updated slogan from “Share Little Magic” to “Start Something”. The organization also initiated a new fundraising event called Touch A Truck, which was held in conjunction with Classics on Kent. DeFlorio hopes the organization can continue this event on a yearly basis. All of the mentoring programs continued to be a popular opportunity for individuals that want to volunteer and mentor a child.

Both our Traditional One-to-One program and In-School Mentoring Program continued to offer friendship opportunities to both volunteers and children. A Big Bunch program was provided throughout the summer months for children on our waiting list who wanted to stay connected with the organization and two Kids N’ Kops programs were delivered through a partnership with both the O.P.P and City of Kawartha Lakes Police Services.

Big Brothers Big Sister of Kawartha LakesHaliburton is a small organization that does BIG things in our community, with the financial help of United Way for The City of Kawartha Lakes. These BIG things are accomplished with the commitment and dedication of many volunteers who enjoy spending time with a child to assist them with reaching their full potential. Big brothers and big sisters spend approximately 3-4 hours a week with the “little”, providing new and interesting experiences that will build self-esteem and confidence in the child.

Recently a little brother had the opportunity to meet one of his big brother’s close friends, who happens to be Alex Lifeson, the lead guitar player for the band Rush, some of the little brothers and sisters experienced tubing for their first time, some had the

This was all possible through the dedication of volunteers. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kawartha Lakes-Haliburton must recruit a volunteer for every child served in the unique one-to-one mentoring programs.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kawartha LakesHaliburton will fly a flag at the Lindsay Library to recognize our amazing volunteers that come from communities such as Wilberforce, Haliburton, Minden, Lindsay, Little Britain, Omemee, Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls and so many other small communities in The City of Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County.

All About Your Health MEALTIME MAGIC

Family Meals Essential to Back to School Routine As families get ready for back to school, a local nutrition expert suggests it is also time for dinner – especially one that’s healthy, home-made and enjoyed by everyone.

When families sit down to eat a meal together, there are benefits for everyone sitting around the table, says Laura Danilko, a Registered Dietitian with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. Family meals allow parents and caregivers to be good role models for healthy eating, while helping children learn lifelong healthy eating habits. Studies also show children develop higher self-esteem, better mealtime manners, and improved sense of structure and belonging.

“There really is mealtime magic in making the time to eat together as a family,” says Danilko. “That’s especially true as summer winds down and we head back into the hustle and bustle of fall with the return of school, work and other activities.”

Eating together as a family is not without challenges, she admits. With increased demands

at school, longer work hours and extracurricular activities, Danilko isn’t surprised by research that suggests up to one-third of families do not sit together at mealtimes. In many cases, those who eat together typically do so while watching TV. To reduce distractions, Danilko encourages families to make meals “technology-free zones” where the focus is on the food and each other.

Another way to make family meals more enjoyable is to get everyone involved in creating the meal from menu planning to clean up. Serving food that everyone likes can also make it more appetizing.

“If you are making a meal or trying new foods that you’re not sure your kids will like, serve it with a side dish that you know they will eat,” Danilko advises.

While the role of parents and caregivers is to provide healthy meal options and act as positive role models in enjoying healthy foods, it should not be to force or bribe children to eat their meals. According to Danilko, this approach is sure to backfire and will just create tension and anxiety around mealtime.

“It’s better to let children decide if and how much they will eat,” she says. “Over time and with some positive reinforcement from parents, children will pick up their healthy habits and be more likely to try new foods and make healthy choices on their own initiative.”

For families on the go, it’s not always possible to eat together. In these cases, Danilko makes the following suggestions: • Try to aim for at least three family meals per week.

• Keep meal preparation quick and simple. Plan meals ahead of time and make enough food for two meals rather than one. This way, on busy days, food prep just involves reheating the leftovers.

• Be flexible. If families can’t get together for dinner, plan a meal together at breakfast or lunch.

• Be creative. Wherever they are, families can sit together for mealtime.

People living in the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) are invited to share stories about their recent experiences with the health care system as work continues on the development of the LHIN’s third Integrated Health Service Plan.

The current plan, which was launched in April 2010 and runs until March 2013, provided a road map for health service providers as they worked together to save a million hours in time spent by patients in local emergency departments and reduce the impact of vascular disease.

It included stories from a local resident who had to take her daughter to the emergency

department for a minor illness because she didn’t know what other options were available, a father who questioned how patients were moved through the various stages in the emergency department, a gentleman whose family was suddenly faced with the reality of vascular disease after an unexpected death and a friend of a woman who didn’t realize she had serious kidney disease until she followed up on her high blood pressure results.

By leading the creation of a system that is integrated and sustainable and that ensures better health, better care and better value for money, the LHIN has seen a decrease in emergency department wait times during the timeline of the current plan and fewer people are being admitted to hospital for conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and asthma.

As the LHIN gets ready to launch its next plan in April 2013, people are invited to once again share their stories and specifically let the LHIN know what should be available or provided by the system, which experiences have impressed them, which ones were frustrating and how they could be improved.

“It’s important that we hear from as many people as possible so that we align the goals of the 2013-16 Integrated Health Service Plan with what matters to local residents and their families. That’s the value that the LHIN provides in developing local plans based on local needs,” says Wayne Gladstone, Chair, Central East LHIN Board of Directors. “Ensuring that the health care system is meeting the health care needs of our seniors, people with mental health and addiction needs, chronic diseases or requiring end-of-life care will be our focus for the next three years.”

New programs and services introduced over the past three years include Home First, the Geriatric Assessment and Intervention Clinics, Behavioural

Supports Ontario, Code STEMI, Regional Cardiac Rehabilitation services, NPSTAT and Chronic Disease Self-Management Training and much more.

The LHIN funds local health care providers – hospitals, the Community Care Access Centre, community health centres, community mental health and addiction agencies, comm. unity support services and long-term care homes – based on the healthcare needs of local residents – and holds providers accountable for their results.

To ensure that each person’s health care journey is as seamless as possible, the LHIN has approved a number of integrations that focus on efficiency, quality, accessibility and sustainability.

SPINAL BALANCE It Begins In The Feet

Because, the foot bone is connected to the leg bone and the leg bone is connected to the hipbone.

If the arch in one or both feet collapses (wear and tear, poor shoes or result of accident) the body does not receive the proper postural support.

Structural balance relieves wear and tear and joint pain. It also reduces the chance of malfunction of legs, hips and knees.

Custom orthotics of leather or flexible material, specifically designed according to spinal and structural measurements, will help to keep your body in proper alignment. Your spinal adjustment will then prove to be more effective.

Three arches must be checked in order to achieve correct structural support. Often two

arches only are checked. Medial, lateral, anterior transverse arch and heel strike must be assessed together in order to achieve correct spinal balance.

Spinal disc degeneration can be avoided or progression slowed by wearing supportive shoes with custom orthotics constructed according to spinal measurements inside as well as outside the house.

COMMUNITY CARES

By Mike Puffer

There hopefully will be a strong turnout for the September 15 public open house to review the draft report of the City’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. The long-term plan is designed to provide direction for this municipality in the years ahead in order that it remains a community of choice for present and future generations.

It is hoped that the Plan reflects the unique demographic composition of our city. With a senior population that is 50 per cent higher than the provincial average, policies, services and structures in the years ahead will have to enable people to age actively and healthily here--or else they will look elsewhere for more age-friendly communities.

By 2040, it is projected that the number of Canadians age 65 or older will be 10 million. Most, if not all, communities will have to be capable of providing services and supports that translate into healthy lifestyles for older adults.

Locally, some of the matters that are of the most concern to seniors include equitable and accessible health care, affordable and safe housing and transportation, and matters concerning elder abuse education and prevention. Will this plan reflect such needs and concerns?

The draft sustainability plan recommendations and actions will be presented September 15 at 1 pm at Settlers Village in Bobcaygeon.

Those with a vested interest in the future of our community --meaning all of us--should try to be there.

MORNING CRUNCH TIME New Survey Says Breakfast a Priority, Skipped By Majority

While teary bedtimes or family dinners can make afternoons and evenings taxing for parents, it’s mornings that Canadian parents have declared the hardest.

Six out of 10 Canadian moms and dads say morning is the most stressful period of the day, according to the results of a new poll conducted by Ipsos Reid on behalf of Breakfast Cereals Canada.

Morning Time “Thrival” “As a mom and a dietitian, I know how crazy and chaotic the morning can be,” says Andrea Holwegner, a registered dietitian and mother of one. “It’s important not to skip breakfast. Eating well in the morning is easier – and faster – than many parents think.”

A breakfast that’s high in nutrition doesn’t need to be high in stress. “Many breakfast cereals are an important source of whole grains and help kids meet their daily fibre recommendations – which otherwise isn’t so easy to do,” says Holwegner.

The “Me Time” Connection Not taking enough time to take care of their own needs also ups the stress factor for many parents.

Among those who reported spending lower amounts of their time on themselves, 71 per cent say it’s the most stressful part of the day. “Breakfast cereal is a delicious, convenient, nutritious and economical option for busy Canadian families,” says Kathryn Fitzwilliam, Executive Director at Breakfast Cereals Canada. “It’s our hope that by understanding what’s causing parents stress in the morning and by providing some simple solutions to get the family involved in preparing a healthy breakfast, we can help them smooth out crunch time.”

Think Outside the Box If you are looking for a change from cereal with milk, try one of these equally quick morning

options, as featured in the Morning Crunch Time Thrival Guide at morningcrunchtime.ca: • Combine fruit, yogurt and cereal in a parfait glass • Add bran cereal to a fruit smoothie to boost fibre content • Spread nut butter on a banana and roll it in your favourite cereal • Freeze a batch of muffins or cereal bars using bran or whole grain cereal • Sprinkle high fibre cereal and fruit atop frozen pancakes or waffles

• Make trail mix by combining cereal, nuts and dried fruit in a portable container • If you do need to dash and dine, bring a bag of cereal and a portable cup of milk.

Cereal Facts

An important source of whole grains: For many breakfast cereals, a 30-gram portion counts as one serving of Grain Products from Canada’s Food Guide.

An important source of fibre: Breakfast cereal is an easy way to meet daily-recommended intakes for fibre.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR DAD, IAN RAYNER Who passed away September 17, 2010

What we’d give if we could say “Hello, Dad.” in the same old way; To hear your voice, see your smile, To sit with you and chat awhile.

So you who have a father, Cherish him with care, For you’ll never know the heartache ‘Til you see his vacant chair.

LOVE ALWAYS & FOREVER MISSED SCOTT & IAN

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY HUSBAND, IAN RAYNER Who passed away September 17, 2010

Kawartha Cooks

Featuring Christopher Tuberdyke Frittata is one of my biggest go to meals. It’s super simple, super cheap, and a totally fancy way to do ‘breakfast for dinner’, which I love. With some multigrain toast and a green salad it easily could feed up to six people.

Not to mention it doesn’t take long and once you know how to do it you can substitute the filling with pretty much anything. And the ingredients were featured in the ‘fresh and local’ section at the grocery store!

Broccoli-Potato Frittata with Rosemary & Cheddar Ingredients: 8 eggs 2 heads of broccoli florets, chopped 6 baby yellow new potatoes, thinly sliced 1 clove garlic, minced 2 sprigs rosemary, chopped 1 cup shredded old cheddar Salt/pepper 2tablespoons olive oil Method: 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees 2. In a medium bowl, crack and scramble eggs until light and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper. Add cheese and mix. Set aside.

2. In an oven-safe nonstick frying pan (one that

doesn’t have a plastic handle), heat olive oil over medium heat. When hot, add potatoes, rosemary and garlic. Cook until tender and slightly browned 6-8 minutes, tossing occasionally. Add Broccoli and cook 2-3 minutes until broccoli is bright green and starting to get tender. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Reduce heat to low and add egg mixture. Cook about 3 minutes until it seems like the edges of the egg are starting to set just around the rim of the pan.

5. Remove pan from heat and place in oven, baking 20-25 minutes until frittata is set. It will rise and be fluffy and golden.

6. Remove from oven. Cool 5 minutes. Run a butter knife around the rim of the pan to help loosen the frittata. Or use a rubber spatula to help slip it out of the pan. Cut and Serve! It may deflate as is cools, but that’s okay! It’s still delicious!

P.S. You can make a pan with a wonky handle oven-safe by wrapping it in aluminum foil!
