OFF THE TOP If you had an opinion on whether or not the City of Kawartha Lakes needs to reduce the number of councillors, or vote them in at-large rather than by ward, the current council shut you down at its Mar. 25 meeting.

During a lengthy debate, some of the reasons for harpooning a ballot question included: fewer councillors and councillors elected at-large equating to less representation; the age-old urban-rural divide that has yet to dissipate despite 13 years postamalgamation; the question being posed for pure political and control reasons and one councillor later saying it didn’t matter what the voters wanted anyway since the province has the final say.

We asked the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing their take and senior for communications advisor Mike Maka told The Kawartha Promoter

The Municipal Act gives councils the authority to change the composition of council, as long as there is a head of council elected at-large and at least four other councillors. Council also has the authority to create, change or dissolve wards.

When the city was created, the restructuring order set out the number of councillors and the ward system but the restructuring order does not prevent council from exercising its authority under the Municipal Act to make changes to council composition or the ward system.

“City of Kawartha Lakes council does not need approval from the province to make these changes, or to put a question on the ballot seeking the public’s opinion on reducing the number of council members,” Maka told us.

So, why not ask the question?

If council won’t, we will. Go to our Facebook page and respond to the following question:

“Are you in favour of reducing the number of councillors?” – yes or no. editor@thepromoter.ca

April 4, 2014 - The Kawartha Promoter

the very real likelihood of the Township of Trent Lakes being the centre of quarry development for Ontario and Bobcaygeon being the conduit of thousands of large trucks per year and the cost of road repair.

As other more boisterous and influential townships and villages steer quarries away, our township and Hwy 36 ends up in the crosshairs of those who would take advantage of a complacency that appears to exist in the public and the leadership.

Those who are actually fighting the cause of what is good governance at the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board) come the spring of 2014 are fighting a battle for you and your future enjoyment and value of Kawartha region properties. Please do what you can to help finance the exorbitant costs these brave individuals have to bear to try and make a stand and obtain good development that appreciates people live here not just limestone. The clarion call is out for your help please.

City Hall

by Lisa Gervais

Sunshine list

CAO Mark Fisher is the highest paid city employee following Public Sector Salary Disclosure Mar. 31. Fisher made $160,000.10 in 2013 with taxable benefits of $1,405.54.

Forty-three employees made $100,000 or more with a mix of senior managers, paramedics and firefighters. Meanwhile, the Kawartha Lakes Police Service chalked up 17 on the Sunshine list for a total of 60 for the CKL.

No ballot question

Council decided it will not ask voters at the Oct. 27 municipal election if they are in favour of reducing the number of councillors. A committee of five councillors had recommended that the question be put to the electorate but a majority of councillors opted for no question on the ballot during the Mar. 25 regular council meeting. In a tabled report, it was estimated that the process of a question and carrying out the results could cost taxpayers $30,000.

Council spending for 2013

The 2013 annual report on council remuneration and expenses was tabled at the Mar. 25 meeting. Salary expenses for the mayor and council increased 1.5% over 2012. Overall milage, conferences and other expenses were comparable to 2012. Police board salaries and expenses were down, with board members not attending any out-of-province conferences in 2013. Mayor Ric McGee was paid $86,432.44 in 2013. The next highest councillor total was Ward 16 Coun. Heather Stauble at $37,201.06, while the most frugal was Ward 6 Coun. Doug Elmslie at $29,419.21.

Emergency funding request

The Lindsay Gallery asked council on Mar. 27 to waive the gallery’s monthly rental fee of $400 and provide emergency operating funds of $50,000 beginning May 1. The gallery board indicated that without any immediate funding it may have to lay off its one full-time staff person and close in two years. It said it has a full calendar of new and ongoing programming for 2014 as well as fundraising events and added that it provides employment. Meanwhile, organizers of the Lindsay Ribfest are seeking an additional $20,000 in funding.

C.H.E.S.T. request approved

The Bobcaygeon Legacy C.H.E.S.T. Fund committee asked council to bring forward its annual application deadline at the Mar. 25 council meeting and the request was approved. The date will be moved up to the last Friday of October, from the second Friday in November.

More bingo events allowed

Organizations that hold fundraising bingo at Lindsay Bingo Hall can now stage 104 events a year, up from 78. A report to the Mar. 25 meeting said revenue had decreased the past two years, and the number of organizations was also in decline. This will allow keen organizations to stage more events.

New logo

The city is looking at a new logo that will drop the “Catch the spirit” tagline. In addition, they will scrap the “city of” reference. A report to the Mar. 25 meeting said the change would not cost the city anything. However, some $45,000 has been spent on the re-branding initiative that was recommended back in 2011.

More staff hired

The city has added another three staff for a combined cost of $205,523.14 a year. It came on the recommendation of public works director Michelle Hendry, who said her department needed two junior engineering technicians and an asset management person.

Wpd road use refused

A request by Wpd to access Wild Turkey Road as one of its proposed routes for the Sumac Ridge Wind Project was refused by council.

City Hall – by Gord Killen

It is time to go! I have been covering city hall for more than two years. At times I have found council meetings to be funny, sad, frustrating, wondrous and more often ponderous. There comes a time in everyone’s journey when it is appropriate to ‘let go’. Sometimes we know when to do that and sometimes we need a little push. In this instance it was more like a big shove. For personal reasons I have decided it is time to bow out. However, this being an election year I will stay current with what is happening by reading The Kawartha Promoter and attending public meetings. I hope the voting public will also take a greater interest in who is running for mayor and council as well as trustee positions because it is our tax dollars they will be spending.

LINDSAY – Premier Kathleen Wynne was “mightily impressed” with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Kawartha Lakes during a Mar. 28 tour.

Following the tour, Wynne told the Kawartha Promoter she was impressed with the partnerships the club had established and said “when I think about a hub for kids, this is the kind of place that I imagine.

It just seems to have touched everything and I’m just mightily impressed.”

She lauded all aspects of the club’s offerings, from childcare, to before and after school programs, close links to school boards, the criminal youth diversion program, alternative education and opportunities for sports and recreation.

“So I can tell you I am going to be carrying this model in my mind as we make policy decisions and platform decisions going forward.”

During the tour, Wynne showed great interest in the gymnastics room, later quipping “I love gymnastics.

It was hard to keep me off of that trampoline.”

She said she thinks kids need to, in a safe environment, learn how to take risks, both in interpersonal relationship and physically. “I think if we try to protect kids from that, then we do them a disservice so we all need to push ourselves.”

Wynne also visited Common Grounds coffee shop in Lindsay to meet with businesspeople and farmers.

Masters-bound

By Lisa Gervais

BOBCAYGEON - On Apr. 6, nine-year-old Bobcaygeon girl Nyah Kelly will stand on the 18th hole of Augusta National and putt her little heart out as she competes in the “Drive, Chip and Putt” contest at the home of the Masters.

The fact she will be there at all is a miracle as her name had to be selected from more than 17,600 entrants in a lottery and she had to place first or second in two qualifying competitions in New York state to get to America’s most exalted golf green.

She will now join 87 other kids between the ages of seven and 15 in the contest on the Sunday before the Masters begins. She will compete in the seven to nine girls’ category.

The driving and chipping competition will take place on Augusta’s practice range but the putting contest will be on the fabled 18th green, where Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and so many others made putts that won the Masters.

The finals will also be televised by Golf Channel.

Augusta National, the U.S. Golf Association and the PGA of America are in charge of the program.

“I’m pretty excited and I’m nervous too,” Nyah told The Kawartha Promoter, noting she will be playing in front of a large crowd as well as a TV audience. She admitted that she wants to win, not just compete. She will have a large contingent of family on hand too.

Golf is in this kid’s blood. Her mother is Shana Kelly, a PGA of Canada Class A Professional at Kelly’s Glen Golf Learning Centre on Pigeon Lake Road and the entire immediate and extended family is golfmad. Nyah first picked up a club at age two-and-ahalf. Shana said it is a dream come true for the whole family.

Nyah said she had been practicing every day for half-an-hour to an hour at the centre. She said putting is her strong suit; she has a new driver she hopes will give her another 30 yards off of the tee but she needs to work on her chipping.

Asked who her favourite golfer is, she replies Bubba Watson.

An accomplished figure skater, she is asked what sport she would pick and says it is a dead heat. She also loves horseback riding and playing volleyball.

But for now the focus is golf.

“I want to be on TV and on the women’s LPGA.” * See www.drivechipandputt.com and GolfChannel. com for more. The Golf Channel plans live coverage from 8 a.m. ET on the day, concluding at 1 p.m.

Fundraiser for anti-Dewdney group

By Lisa Gervais

BOBCAYGEON - A prominent environmentalist is coming to help a group fighting zoning bylaw approval of the Dewdney Photo credit: Mountain Farm limestone Clinton Global Initiative/ quarry in Trent Lakes.

Adam Schultz

Maude Barlow will attend the Earth Day event, scheduled for the Lakeview Arts Barn, on Saturday, Apr. 19.

Barlow, who has written numerous books on water, is coming at the request of Ward 13 Coun. Pat Warren who met Barlow socially a few years back and the two have kept in touch. Barlow will be on hand from 4 to 6 p.m. and then there will be a dance from 8 p.m. featuring the Eclectic G-Strings.

Warren said the event is a fundraiser for Citizens for Responsible Aggregate Development (formerly known as the quarry committee under The North Pigeon Lake Ratepayers Association). Nine citizens are fighting the municipal zoning bylaw approval before the Ontario Municipal Board in a hearing slated to begin May 20.

Warren said she did not think the Bobcaygeon community realized the impact the quarry could have on the town, with the possibility of trucks rumbling over the bypass bridge by Port 32 on a regular basis.

She said that route gets congested in summer as it is.

With the appeal pending, the Municipality of Trent Lakes will not comment but mayor Janet Clarkson told the Kawartha Promoter in October the province is the driving force behind the development, not the municipality and believes that is where angry residents should take their fight. The quarry owner maintains it has carried out required studies on hydrogeology, production noise, blasting, traffic, archaeology and the environment for its planned 432-acre limestone quarry on Ledge Rd., about 15 km northwest of Buckhorn.

Barlow told The Kawartha Promoter: “The latest rewrite of the provincial Aggregate Resources Act has disappointed communities across Ontario. Our demands for robust regulations to protect land and water were ignored. The lesson, once again, is that it is up to the communities themselves to protect what is most important. We have the right to water and we have the obligation to protect it.”

Tickets are $30 for Barlow and the dance or $20 if you want to go to only one. They are available: at the Bobcaygeon chamber office; from CFRAD committee members; at Pillsworth Service Centre, Hwy 36, East Side Auto Plaza beside St. Dave’s Diner in Lindsay.

Weddings

A Wedding Florist Beautifies Your Day

A professional wedding florist can take an ordinary wedding and turn it into an extraordinarily beautiful event. With experience decorating hundreds or even thousands of weddings, a professional florist can create arrangements to suit any budget, any style, and any venue.

The services of a wedding

go beyond simple florist centerpieces and bouquets.

She can create a total package that includes bouquets, pew decorations, centerpieces, altar adornments, hanging baskets, free-standing arrangements and more. The floral arrangements can range from wildflowers to exotic tropicals, from traditional to modern, from simple to elegant. Whatever your tastes and preferences, a wedding florist will do her best to satisfy.

A wedding florist is available to create each floral arrangement needed for your wedding ceremony and reception. From start to finish, she can offer ideas and suggestions for specific arrangements, embellishments, and the types of flowers best suited to your preferred wedding style.

The bride and groom can be as involved or as ‘hands-off’ as they prefer during this process.

Many florists are willing to arrange at least some of the bouquets or centerpieces while the bride and groom are present so that they can offer suggestions or request changes during the creative process.

If desired, a wedding florist may also be able to personally help arrange the floral decorations at both the wedding and reception sites. This allows her to make any

last minute adjustments and to replace any flowers that may have been damaged in transport.

If possible, the wedding florist will visit the wedding and reception venues prior to the wedding date in order to get a better idea of how

the areas should be decorated.

Characteristics of each venue can have a big impact on which types of floral arrangements will look best. Will the wedding and reception be held indoors or out?

Is the setting formal or casual?

Large or small?

After learning about the bride and groom’s vision for their wedding day, the wedding florist will offer suggestions on appropriate arrangements and will also show the couple photographic examples of the arrangements. An experienced wedding florist will also be able to show the couple photos or video footage of previous weddings she has decorated in a similar style. And, finally, a wedding florist has access to virtually any flower or plant that you can imagine.

Along with flowers, a wedding florist can incorporate embellishments like fruit, sand art, candles, sculptures and figurines into the decorations.

Any theme - such as orchids and seashells for a tropical theme - can be accommodated with the creativity of a professional wedding florist.

Choosing a wedding site

The wedding site often sets the overall tone for a wedding, whether casual or formal, extravagant or subdued.

It’s usually best to decide what tone you want for your wedding before you begin looking at potential sites. A wedding consultant is able to discuss various styles and themes to help you decide on what you would like best.

Once the tone has been decided, your wedding consultant will suggest appropriate venues to fit.

These ideas will also help you choose the best site for your needs.

In the City of Kawartha Lakes, we are blessed with abundant options for both weddings and receptions that include two very different venues: Eganridge Golf and Country Club and Kawartha Settlers Village.

Lavish weddings are usually held in formal locations like large church sanctuaries or cathedrals.

These houses of worship provide a beautiful backdrop

for the often-religious ceremony of marriage. Flowers, candles, and ribbons look perfect in this type of setting and can turn a familiar church into a fairy tale garden.

Even the most elegant wedding can be held outdoors if the couple prefers. The steps of an historic building can make a lovely spot for a couple to exchange their vows. Chairs for the guests could be placed at the bottom of the steps, and the bride and groom could stand perhaps six to 10 steps up. If the bride’s train is very long, it could be draped over the steps and will make a lovely picture for guests and photographs.

A casual wedding may be more conducive to an alternate wedding site than a formal ceremony would be. Of course, a smaller or more casual wedding will look just as beautiful inside a house of worship as a large, elaborate ceremony will. On the other hand, possible outdoor locations are almost unlimited.

Your wedding planner will help you explore each potential wedding site, weighing out the pros and cons. Once you’ve made a decision, the consultant can make the needed reservations and will start working on the planning details.

5 Reasons to Hire Honeymoon Travel Agents

• Honeymoon travel agents are experts in their field.

Not only are they seasoned travel agents, but they specialize in honeymoons and know the ins and outs of the industry. They know the resorts, cities and destinations suited to honeymoons, the spots that offer complete privacy, or couples-only philosophies, and can get some of the best deals offered due to unadvertised specials.

• Your honeymoon travel agent can free up valuable time. If taking a honeymoon immediately after the wedding, honeymoon planning must take place concurrently. Handling wedding details can be a nearly full-time job, when honeymoon research is added to the mix (deciding if the location is appropriate and what there is to do both on premises and in the surrounding area, researching accommodations, booking transportation, etc.) it can create extra stress. Hiring a honeymoon travel agent takes the honeymoon planning off an already overflowing plate, and allows the couple the opportunity to look forward to the chance to escape and relax, or party.

• Your honeymoon travel agent will help you stay within your budget. The goal of the travel agent is to incorporate your idea of the perfect honeymoon into a package that suits your financial needs. Unless your travel goals are completely on opposite ends of the spectrum from your budget constraints, your travel agent should be able to present you with multiple ideas about how to produce a dream honeymoon.

Even if there is a bit of a gap, alternatives should be offered that do meet the desired criteria. If a package does not meet your budget, be sure to mention it to your agent and help him/her create your dream honeymoon without breaking the bank.

• Not only do some travel agents bring business experience to the table, but some are certified and have earned the designation as Certified Travel Counselors, which mean they have been in business for over five years, and have taken an 18-month course. In addition, some have studied to become DS (Destination Specialists) and know a great deal about certain countries or destinations. The Institute of Certified Travel Agents can be a good resource tool.

• If you’ve put off the planning of the honeymoon and are facing a relatively short deadline, the skills of a honeymoon travel agent could be a necessity. In many cases prime destinations will require advance reservations, so a honeymoon travel agent may have to work on your behalf to call in a few favors to secure your desired dates. In addition, a skilled agent will take this mishap and turn it into opportunity by asking for a discount due to the late booking, knowing that the room/package would have gone unused had he/ she not asked for it.

John Bick

Bobcaygeon & District Horticultural Society Although we have endured and/or enjoyed one of the longest, coldest and snowiest winters in recent memory, it is not all grim news for the gardens.

The heavy snow cover is a blessing for plants, insulating them from sub-zero temperatures and dry piercing winds. The density and depth of the snow pack should have made it harder for critters to feast on roots, branches and trunks this year.

So what is there to do right now while we wait? Growing seedlings indoors under lights or on windowsills is an option. It is a cheerful and practical way to get a head start on perennials, herbs and tomato plants. Always check the seed package instructions. Start dahlia, canna or other container plants any day now.

Those of you who have year round house plants should give them a good cleaning at this time of year. Accumulations of winter dust on the leaves can block out sunlight and reduce the plant’s ability to feed itself. It is also an ideal time to trim out dead foliage, remove any chemical deposits on the outside of the pot, top up the plant growing medium, start regular feedings and transplant root-bound plants to bigger containers.

Attend a meeting of your local horticultural club.

They can be found in communities such as Lindsay, Omemee, Fenelon Falls, Coboconk, Norland, Minden, Ennismore, Peterborough, Lakefield and Bobcaygeon. They share gardening tips, organize community projects and host interesting speakers.

Paul Zammit, one of the most informative and entertaining speakers on the gardening circuit is coming to the Presbyterian Church Hall in Bobcaygeon on Thursday, Apr. 17. The topic is Tropical Plants – Inside and Outdoors. Be there for 7 p.m. He is well worth the $10 admission fee.

Choristers Corner

The Bobcaygeon Choristers recently entertained the residents at both Pinecrest Nursing Home and Case Manor. The choir also performed at Retirement Suites of Kawartha Lakes on West Street. Each evening they had a sing-a-long with the audience and were surprised at the response. They could have had choirs of their own.

The choir also discovered that it had an excellent master of ceremonies in its midst. Laura Plummer, who just happens to be the director’s wife, did a wonderful job of introducing the director, the accompanist and the choir. While announcing the numbers in the program, she always had a story to tell along the way.

The group would like to thank the three venues for allowing them to hold their weekly practice following the performances. Some of the residents stayed to listen and I do believe that I heard some applause at one point.

An afternoon trip to Ross Memorial Hospital to

perform for some of the patients was also part of the choir’s community spirit. It was hoped that a little bit of choral sunshine could brighten their day.

Now that spring is upon us and we can get beautiful weather one day and a raging snowstorm the next, it is the time when some of our snowbirds will be returning from warmer climes. It will be great when we have our full compliment of members once again.

ANSWERING THE CALL

The spirit of volunteerism is alive and well in Bobcaygeon and moving on all fronts to benefit our community, its citizens and its visitors over the forthcoming year.

The Chamber of Commerce article and advertisement in the Mar. 7 issue of The Kawartha Promoter carried the message that Midnight Madness, the wildly-popular Aug. 2 event supported by the chamber, needed to build a new committee.

We’re happy to report that 10 positions have been filled to date, with the first committee meeting already held. Bobcaygeon newcomer and Re/Max All-Stars Realty representative Kent Leckie is the new chairperson, Marylynn Lindsay (Purdy’s Jewellers) continues as treasurer and Bob Hughes has signed on as secretary.

Gillian Barrett, Kerry Cook (In Fine Feather), Kevin Foster (Spitting Images), Nancy Hartai (Thompson’s Ready-to-Wear), Shaukat Mohamed (Pick’N’Save) and Joy and Jerry Mous (My Favourite Things) are committee members. Gillian and Bob also represent the chamber.

Meanwhile, the chamber’s ever-popular Unlock the Summer will be chaired by new-this-term director Cathy Hopkins-Poole, Re/Max All-Stars Realty, who is looking for committee and day-of volunteers for this labour-intensive event.

And, although June 14 may seem a long way away, it’s really not in terms of this event’s extensive planning, programming and setting up. There’s fun and a sense of achievement for those who’ll take some time out of their lives to enjoy meeting and overcoming the challenges.

Submitted by Bob Hughes, Secretary.

The Alzheimer Society of Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland, and Haliburton would like to invite the community of Bobcaygeon to join them for an information session.

Come hear about a new Dementia Friendly Community Program in Bobcaygeon, “Living Well with Dementia”.

Join us on April 11th from 1:00pm - 2:30pm at the Retirement Suites of Kawartha Lakes 40 West St. Attend the session, and make a difference for those living with dementia.

Confirm attendance to 705-878-0126.

How to find a real estate agent

Whether you’re looking to buy or sell your home, a good real estate agent is essential – and can be hard to find. Here are the top 10 things to look for in a potential agent.

Tell Me About Yourself This open-ended question opens the floor to bragging rights. What you want to hear: how long the agent’s been practicing, his best sale, how he refers to past clients, a sense of professionalism and the ability to be honest with you. Once the agent’s done boasting, ask him to send you information about his business. You’ll see how quickly he responds to your request and how professional the brochure is (which will give you an idea what your sell sheet will look like if you’re selling your home).

TEAMROCK is regarded as one of the most successful real estate teams in the City of Kawartha Lakes by providing the most innovative and effective marketing of residential real estate and unparalleled personalized service through our team members.

Sell your home FAST and for Top Dollar With TeamRock’s Guaranteed Homeselling System When you list with TeamRock, you receive these Guarantees: • Your home advertised 24 hours a day until it’s sold • Your home advertised to millions on www.

TeamRock.ca & www.remax.ca • Our Team for the same price as hiring a single agent • Your home sold in 120 days or we buy it Call RON Today!

705-324-6153 ext. 211

Selling Skills How many homes has the agent listed and sold in the last six months? This question will tell you where the agent’s strength lies – in helping clients buy or sell homes – and his rate of success.

Home Sense Does the agent excel in helping clients buy or sell homes? Do they know the starter-condo market or the 18th century, multi-million-dollar estate market? What type of home did he last buy or sell?

Location, location, location What area of the city is the agent most familiar with?

You want an agent who knows the neighbourhood you’re looking to buy or sell in.

Organizations & Affiliations There are more than a dozen organizations and qualifications a Canadian real estate agent can hold. Find out how many your agent belongs to (since they can be a great source of networking, they can also be an indicator of the number of people your agent knows. More acquaintances can translate into a bigger turnout at your open house).

Tip: Want to check up on an agent? Visit www. reic.ca (the Real Estate Institute of Canada) to do a name search of an agent’s qualifications and affiliations.

References Ask for three references. This will give you key information: how quickly the agent offers up three sources, how long ago these people were clients, what type of home they were buying/selling and what their experiences were like with the agent.

Does the agent practice full-time or on the side of another job? Will he be available to show your home to potential buyers or show you homes when it’s convenient for you – or will you have to rearrange your schedule for him?

Competition Find out who the agent sees as his main competition. What sets him apart? You’ll learn not only other agents to contact for comparison, but how each agent responds to this question – positively or negatively and whether the other agents are selling/showing homes in the area you’re interested in.

What’s the Plan?

Whether you’re buying or selling, your agent-to-be should have a plan (open house, public or private open house, appointments, number of viewings a day). Whether you want to look at a new home every time one is available, or save up six for a Saturday morning, your agent and you should be on the same planning page. If you’re not, tell him what you want or look for a different agent.

Money Matters How does the agent respond to your budget requirements or desired price for the home you’re selling? A good agent will understand your needs, offer his advice (he should know whether your expectations are realistic) and then support you (not telling you to say yes to the first offer if you’re All-Stars Realty Inc., Brokerage

Safety most important

Canadians view the safety of a neighbourhood as the most important (63%) feature of a home’s location, according to a new BMO Bank of Montreal survey.

The survey, conducted by Pollara, also found that living on a quiet street (43%), having good neighbours (30%) having a short commute to work (28%) and being near family and friends (25%) rank high on Canadians’ list of location priorities when buying a home.

“Everyone has a unique set of personal and financial priorities, so it’s important that those particular needs are considered when deciding on the right location to purchase a home,” said Laura Parsons, Mortgage Expert, BMO Bank of Montreal.

“Taking a practical approach to home buying is the key to preventing yourself from getting ‘swept away’ by the bells and whistles of a house.

Home buyers should make a list of needs versus wants and prioritize them in order of highest to lowest importance.”

The poll also revealed that significant differences become apparent when comparing

the national averages to first-time home buyers.

For instance: • Having a short commute to work is more important to first-time buyers than the average buyer (34% versus 28%) • Living near public transit (28% versus 19%) is also higher on the priority list for first-timers than repeat buyers • However, living on a quiet street (30% versus 43%) and having good neighbours (21% versus 30 %) are far less important to first-timers.

Some things don’t change...

Horoscopes Aries (March 21 to April 20) At mid-month the full moon rises. According to teachings of the indigenous people of Canada, this early spring moon tells the story of Sucker, who goes to the Spirit World to receive cleansing techniques. When it returns to this realm, it purifies the path for the Spirits and cleanses our water. Aries: take this time to cleanse yourself of any “un-necessities” left over from the winter months and prepare to be replenished.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Perfection should never be a way of life, dear Taurus. You may wish it was so, but no one can be perfect all the time. Accept this in your every-day life, and keep going, keep looking your best, doing your best and being your best. You may fail ... so what?

Only angels are perfect!

thinking of the good things about change.

It’s headed your way!

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) When a Cancer falls in love, they often appear to be shy and quiet at first and will seldom make the first move. But never fear – many other signs are attracted to you, so you have lots of admirers. Scorpio, Pisces and other Cancers are perfect matches.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Contemplation is a key word for you now, Leo. There may be decisions to make, big and small. Stay grounded; don’t get distracted. Stay the course you’ve always wanted.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) As a Virgo, you are refined and very conservative. You may come across as somewhat superficial to some people. This is because Virgos prefer to hide their true feelings – hating to show uncertainty, choosing to remain aloof. Try to put a positive spin on these traits by using them to your advantage.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) The setback you experience today could be a blessing in disguise, Libra. One never knows what life has in store for us. It’s best not to fret. Rest your body; ease your mind.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Can Spring really be here? Kick off away those winter boots, toss your scarf to the back of the closet and get out there and enjoy!!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) “Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.”: Albert Schweitzer.

Dear Sag, is there someone who has helped you along the way when your path was dark? Please, reach out to them today – and thank them!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security, Capricorn. Keep your ears to the ground, and be prepared for any setbacks. If you do, they will not be as startling as if you start thinking they will never happen.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Lady Luck is headed your way, dear Aquarius, and pleasant news is about to arrive on your doorstep! Wow! What an auspicious time you are travelling in.

on l i ne filing

OTTAWA – Minister of National Revenue, Kerry-Lynne Findlay has revealed that more Canadians are filing T1 income tax and benefit returns online than ever before.

As of Mar. 24, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has received more than 6.7 million returns, with close to 84% filed electronically, compared to 80% at the same time last year. The CRA says electronic filing is quickly becoming the norm, as tax filers discover how convenient, easy, and secure online filing is.

The CRA said direct deposit has also increased. So far, 65% of taxpayers getting a refund received it by direct deposit compared to 61% at the same time last year.

When combining online filing with direct deposit, taxpayers may get their refunds in as little as eight days.

Given the number of free software options available, filing a T1 income tax and benefit return couldn’t be easier or simpler, the CRA said.

Quick facts: • Taxpayers have until midnight Apr. 30 to file their 2013 T1 income tax and benefit return and to pay any balance owing.

• I f an individual, his or her spouse, or common-law partner is self-employed, the deadline to file a 2013 return has been extended until midnight June 16,

since June 15 falls on a Sunday. However, any balance owing must still be paid by Apr. 30.

• So far, the average refund amount is $1,619.11.

• On Mar. 24, the number of online submissions processed on the CRA website hit a seasonal high to date of 1763 per minute.

Did you know about this tax break?

If you have a dependant with a physical or mental impairment, you could be eligible to claim up to an additional $2,040 in certain non-refundable tax credits, the Canadian Revenue Agency says.

The family caregiver amount (FCA) helps Canadians with the costs of caring for a dependant with a physical or mental impairment.

To claim the FCA, the dependant must be: • 18 years or older and dependent on you because of a physical or mental impairment; or • a child under 18 with a physical or mental impairment.

The impairment must be prolonged and indefinite, and the child must be dependent on you for assistance in attending to personal needs and care when compared to children of the same age.

You may be asked to provide a signed statement from a medical doctor that provides information on the nature, commencement and duration of the dependant’s impairment.

You can claim the family caregiver amount for more than one eligible dependant.

first-time home buyers

If you are a first-time home buyer, you may be able to claim a non-refundable tax credit of up to $750 on the purchase of a qualifying home.

To qualify for the home buyer’s tax amount, you or your spouse or common-law partner must have bought a qualifying home and you can’t have lived in another home owned by you or your spouse or common-law partner that year or in any of the four preceding years.

If you are buying a home and are eligible for the disability tax credit or if you are an individual buying a home for a related person who is eligible for the disability tax credit, you may also qualify for this credit even if you have already owned a home.

A qualifying home must be registered in your name, in your spouse’s or common-law partner’s name, or in both names, according to the applicable land registration system, and must be located in Canada. It includes existing homes such as singlefamily houses, semi-detached houses, townhouses, mobile homes, condominium units, apartments in duplexes, triplexes, four-plexes, or apartment buildings, and homes under construction.

You may also be eligible to participate in the Home Buyers’ Plan, which allows you to withdraw funds from your RRSP to buy or build a qualifying home for yourself or for a related person with a disability. You can withdraw up to $25,000 in a calendar year, and you have up to 15 years to repay.

The Financial Corner QUESTION: I’m recently widowed and I really don’t know what my financial situation is, what I can afford to do, what I can spend and I’m scared. Usually I can handle these things but right now I feel overwhelmed and need help.

RESPONSE: It is common for individuals to feel this way and not know what to do. These are the steps an advisor can help with: • Executor responsibilities o Paperwork around the estate o Decisions to be made (analyze, and support) o Forms to fill • Understanding their new financial situation o Identify their new financial and other life goals o Draw up a current household budget o Develop a longer term financial plan • Set up regular routines for banking and bill paying etc.

• Consider how their own estate plans might need to be adjusted

Contact an advisor and follow these steps to reduce anxiety and bring calmness and a needed peace of mind.

SCOTT LAUNCHES BUSINESS SURVEY

“Small businesses employ more than 90% of workers in rural Ontario, so it is important for me to know what the government can do to help these businesses succeed,” said Scott. “I am looking forward to seeing the responses.”

Scott’s office mailed out approximately 1,000 surveys asking business owners about issues such as how the cost of hydro is impacting their business, whether red tape has increased and if they are experiencing a shortage of skilled tradespeople.

“The cost of doing business in Ontario has steadily increased under this Liberal government,” said Scott. “Hydro rates have skyrocketed and will continue to go up another 42% over the next five years. High apprenticeship ratios make it hard for apprentices to find positions, and new bureaucracies like the College of Trades are tying businesses up in red tape.”

The survey is also available on her website at www.lauriescottmpp.com/business.html.

LINDSAY - Laurie Scott, MPP for HaliburtonKawartha Lakes-Brock, is reaching out to local businesses to get advice on what the government can do to help businesses create much-needed jobs.

issues. It also wants to study how these organizations are implementing the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace.

The health unit recently learned that it was among the workplaces selected by the MHCC.

“It is a tremendous honour to be among a small group of workplaces in Canada selected for the project,” says Dr. Lynn Noseworthy, Medical Officer of Health with the HKPR District Health Unit. “Having access to the Mental Health Commission’s experts will be valuable and timely as we move forward to implement the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace.”

The voluntary Standard is the first of its kind in the world, providing tools and resources to help

workplaces promote and improve their approach to mental well-being among workers. The goal is to prevent mental injury, reduce absenteeism and support healthier workplaces. According to the commission, on any given week, roughly half a million Canadians will miss work due to a mental health problem or illness.

The health unit added that its participation will benefit other local workplaces as it can share its journey and motivate and support them in their own efforts to address mental health issues at work.

Area workplaces are encouraged to visit the health unit’s workplace health portal (www. solutions2workstress.ca) to access the Standard, as well as other resources and videos to help them work through the process. Workplaces can find out more about the Standard by attending a ‘Strategies for Success’ workshop in Cobourg on Apr. 9 featuring workplace mental health expert Mary Ann Baynton.

For more details, call the health unit at 1-866-8884577, ext. 1256, or email healthyworkplaces@hkpr. on.ca .

of programs such as Meals on Wheels, volunteer transportation and Adult Day care, serving on volunteer boards and committees, helping out in the agency’s administrative offices or playing vital roles in fundraising and special events put on by the organization.

Collectively, those caring people contributed close to 80,000 volunteer hours to the agency last fiscal year. That’s the equivalent of approximately 45 full-time paid positions. Do not let anyone ever undervalue the contributions made by volunteers!

Community Care’s annual Volunteer

Appreciation event will be held Thursday, April 17 at the Victoria Park Armoury in Lindsay. The agency’s volunteers have received invitations, and we are hoping for a strong turnout so that staff can pay tribute to the volunteer contributions. The theme of this year’s event is “Exceptional People, Extraordinary Hearts” and it exemplifies not only what kind of individuals the agency’s volunteers are, but also sums up what Community Care’s staff and board members think of those people who give unselfishly.

With such a large volunteer contingent, there is always significant turnover. As a result, new volunteers are welcomed, and people are encouraged to join the Community Care team. Call the agency (705-3247323) to find out how to get involved as a volunteer.

CMHA NEWS

LINDSAY - The Canadian Mental Health Association, Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (CMHA HKPR) has moved.

The new Lindsay office is at 33 Lindsay St. S. CMHA HKPR was formed through the voluntary

amalgamation of CMHA Kawartha Lakes and CMHA Peterborough in April 2013. The Kawartha Lakes branch used to be at 2 Kent St. W.

In other CMHA HKPR news, the organization wanted to thank Riley Thompson and Kayla Hinze, first year students in the Police Foundations Program at Fleming College, for raising $250. With the recent announcement of a new mental health component being added to their program, Thompson and Hinze thought the CMHA HKPR would be a great place to donate the money.

“Mental health is a huge aspect of policing and we need to be more aware of the different signs and symptoms regarding mental illness,” Hinze said.

Thompson and Hinze will be part of the first class to go through the new mental health course beginning in the fall of this year.

Employers fight higher CPP costs

BOBCAYGEON - A representative of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) said federal and provincial governments have been considering an increase to Canada Pension Plan (CPP) payments for small business owners.

In Bobcaygeon last week, Sandi Evans said finance ministers did not reach an agreement on increasing CPP payments earlier this year but it is clear the threat is not going away.

She said the federal government and the provinces have been considering an increase to CPP payments for some time but the majority of working Canadians don’t see this as their top choice for boosting retirement savings.

The CFIB is calling for a freeze on CPP paid out by small business owners and greater government transparency on the issue. The CFIB has successfully lobbied to have employer EI contributions frozen until 2017.

Evans said that before any further thought is given to hiking CPP or creating mandatory provincial plans, ministers must commit to full public consultations as increases would mean a significant premium hike for employers and working Canadians and even more serious impacts for the economy.

Law to combat Asian carp

The Ontario government has introduced a bill to support the prevention, early detection, rapid response and eradication of invasive species.

The proposed Invasive Species Act would give Ontario the tools to only allow gutted Asian carp into the province. The proposed Act includes provisions allowing for strong penalties and enhanced enforcement powers to investigate violations. And if a high-risk species such as Asian carp were found in Ontario, the legislation would enable rapid response actions, such as working with partners on control and eradication efforts.

If the proposed legislation is passed, Ontario will be the first jurisdiction in Canada with standalone invasive species legislation.

A press release said everyone can help prevent the spread of invasive species. Here are some tips: • If you see an invasive species, report it to the Invading Species Hotline at 1-800-563-7711 or to info@invadingspecies.com.

• When fishing, don’t empty your bait bucket in or near water – it’s against the law.

• When boating, wash your boat before you move to another lake or river.

• If you’re travelling, don’t take plants, plant parts, seeds, or fruit across borders.

• Look before you leave: check your camping equipment, boats, tires, boots, etc., that may harbour invasive species, seeds or plants, insects, or tree diseases.

• Buy firewood locally, burn it on site, and avoid transporting it long distances as it may contain invasive forest insects or diseases.

C-Links social services map launched

LINDSAY - Accessing social services just got a whole lot easier following the Mar. 26 C-Links launch of a social services map for the city.

The map, which can be accessed through the C-Links website (www.c-links.ca), includes approximately 300 points indicating social services in the city and a mass transit overlay showing the three bus routes in Lindsay and each stop along each route.

A number of agencies helped fund the project, including federal money administered by the Kawartha Lakes Community Futures Development Corporation, Fleming College, the United Way 30 April 4, 2014 - The Kawartha Promoter

of the City of Kawartha Lakes, the City of Kawartha Lakes and partnerships with VCCS Employment Services and the United Way. The money allowed C-Links to hire a social mapping intern - a graduate of Fleming College’s Geographic Information Systems – Cartographic Specialist Certificate Program – to complete the project.

Spring fling in Coby

COBOCONK - The Ladies Auxiliary of Branch 519 Coboconk is hosting its annual spring fling on Friday, Apr. 11 at the Coboconk Legion.

The event gets underway at 7 p.m. and will feature door prizes, finger food, a fashion show, a tarot reader, jewelry, beauty products, fashion accessories and more.

Tickets are now on sale at the legion at Hwy. 35 and 48.

Organizers said the spring fling started in 2008 as a way to bring women from the area together to shake off the winter blah’s and have a fun night out.

Usually, 80 to 90 women attend and there are 10 to a dozen vendor tables as well as the fashion show featuring a local store. Women get a complimentary glass of wine with admission.

Funds go to supporting the Legion branch and the community through the auxiliary’s bursary fund which supports youth education, youth sports (such as track and field), seniors (Community Care) and homeless veterans.
