Paper Cuts Clarity

People who talk with their hands are said to be friendlier and more approachable than those who don’t.

Perhaps. Some of us aren’t aware we’re doing it yet find it almost impossible to utter a word without gesturing.

Several years ago, I instructed a specialized fitness class which included a new participant who had no vision. I was informed moments before the class began so there was no additional prep time. The woman’s spirit was inspiring. It was a natural decision for me to rise to the challenge.

And a challenge it was, especially for a person who talks with her hands.

It meant teaching two classes at the same time. In order to make the process safe, productive and meaningful for everyone present, it was imperative that I observe, listen, respond, modify and articulate every move. It was my role to provide clear direction and constructive feedback to everyone in the class, from beginning to end.

What a great experience. I’ll never forget it. It was skill-testing exercise, if you will, in my abilities as a leader and communicator. I welcomed the opportunity to grow.

I am drawn to individuals who demonstrate spirit, good manners and clear values. These are just three qualities that are indicative of character and so much more. I also relate to people who talk with their hands or, shall we say, friendly and approachable people.

Summer is a big deal in this part of the world. As part of the Kawartha Lakes, we host great festivities and events for our visitors and residents, friends and families. Events for everybody. The most successful activities inevitably come out of the times when “community” bands together; when individuals work as a unit to serve a common goal and, ultimately, the common good.

It’s one thing to say we’re community minded and quite another to practice it. It is a privilege to be involved in whatever ways we can. Community support doesn’t fly on lip service (hey, someone had to say it). It succeeds and soars with leadership, fellowship and often followship.

Community mindedness. Community involvement. Community support. It begins and ends with each one of us.

Still – and always – it begins in the heart, the brain, at home, at work, out in the world… and it radiates from there.

Roy E. Disney said, “It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.”

And it isn’t. editor@thepromoter.ca

Full Time versus Volunteer Firefighters

Response

This is a response to the recent article “The Mayor and the Dinner”. It is not to take issue but to further clarify to those who criticized the mayor’s attendance and the role of a member of parliament at either the provincial or federal level once they are elected.

It is true that partisan politics is not a part of election to the municipal level but it is beyond that. However, regardless of what political party a candidate runs under, once they are elected they become the Member of Parliament, MPP or MP, of ALL the people of the constituency. They are there to represent their constituency in parliament and the legislature. The partisanship of the member is, or should, only be a factor in caucus.

Therefore, the Mayor’s attendance at the dinner was to meet with the MP, who represents him and the people of the City of Kawartha Lakes.

By Gord Killen

An analysis of 2012 data determined that the cost of Area B (Omemee and Bobcaygeon) full-time firefighters responding per call is approximately $2,927 per call. The cost of Area B volunteer firefighters (Omemee, Bobcaygeon, Dunsford, and Emily) responding per call is approximately $628 per call. The report asked that the fire protection delivery model remain fixed at current service levels.

Little Britain Ice Plant

City staff are recommending that $30,000 be spent on a new compressor for the Little Britain Ice Arena.

A number of Councillors asked Craig Shanks, Manager, Parks and Recreation if the current compressors could not be refurbished and at what cost. Shanks replied that the cost would range from $12,000 to $15,000, but he felt that due to their age (30 years) they should be replaced. Councillor Junkin reminded Council that at the time when the Fenelon Falls arena opened they wondered what to do with the spare compressors. One was refurbished and was installed in the Bobcaygeon Arena and it was 30 years old. Shanks felt that in this case they could use the spare compressor from Fenelon as a backup. Council agreed and approved the motion. Go figure.

consisting of 10 artificial ice surfaces and 1 natural ice surface (Norland). These facilities range in age from 1 year (Fenelon Falls Community Centre) to 60 years (Bobcaygeon Community Centre) with the majority being in the 35-40 year range.

Road Conditions

Ward 1 Councillor John Macklem presented a petition (133 signatories) to Council asking that the roads in two areas in his ward receive consideration for improvement. Macklem sited the fact that there have been no major improvements in 40 years. Michelle Hendry, Director of Public Works said that the area under question is slated to be done in 2017.

A couple of Councillors offered the opinion that if that’s all it takes to get special consideration then they too could generate petitions if necessary.

When all was said and done the issue was referred to staff for input and then it will go to the Budget Advisory Committee for the possibility of brought forward to the 2014 budget. Guess who chairs the Budget Advisory Committee… John Macklem.

Property Tax and Unpaid Vehicle Offenses

A source tells me that the City of the Kawartha Lakes will soon enter into an arrangement with the cities of Toronto, Mississauga, Ottawa and Hastings County to collect unpaid traffic violations under the Provincial Offences Act. It is estimated that $1billion is out there waiting for a system to retrieve this money from offenders who do not live in the area where the offense occurred.

This will be an 18 month project whereby those individuals who have outstanding vehicle violations such as speeding, parking, not wearing seatbelts and careless driving while in the afore-mentioned cities, will have the amount appear on their tax assessment.

As an example if you are living in CofKL and you visit friends or relatives in Ottawa, or Toronto and got a parking ticket which you have ignored, you will see it on your next residential tax bill.

Unfortunately people who rent are not affected.

What one has difficulty understanding is why do they not just do what is being done with unpaid 407 toll road arrears? When you try to renew your license you either pay up or you do not get your license. And this would include renters. Is this too simple or am I missing something?

“Come get your munch on.”

It’s a chip truck with an edge. Proprietors Jennifer and Andy Johnson are enthusiastic when they talk about their new business, Get Fried.

“We always thought it would be fun to do this. We want to serve as high a quality of food as is possible from a chip truck. It’s fresh, it’s good.

It’s more of a food truck,” says Andy.

It’s a chip truck, a food truck – or a take-out restaurant on wheels.

100% beef burgers, fresh cut fries, hot dogs, sausages, Pennsylvania Dutch funnel cakes with three different toppings.

Poutine prepared with real cheese curds. The

best quality available for everything they serve.

“We shop locally whenever we can, and we do everything possible to keep the prices low so we can pass the savings on to our customers,” says Andy.

Jennifer adds,“We want people to know they can stop on their way home for an affordable take-out dinner, or enjoy snacks and meals in the picnic area.”

Get Fried’s grand opening happens July 20 but Jennifer is already serving customers and perfecting their process at the same time.

She uses social media to conduct customer surveys for their “expanding menu.”

“Once people try the food, we know they’ll recognize the quality and they’ll come back.”

Watch for Jennifer’s Get Fried updates and customer specials on Facebook and Twitter.

Meanwhile, show up to their official opening on July 20 and enjoy the celebrations.

What strange creatures we are!

We spend our time worrying about the Leafs or the Jays, delight in watching corrupt politicians squirm under intense media pressure and tune in to the 24 hour news channels to get our fix on the latest disaster zone. When we are not preoccupied with the discomfort of others we fuss about our workplace, our family or the weekend weather. There is never a shortage of things to worry about but if we need to find something new there is always a financial crisis going on somewhere – probably right in our backyard if we look closely enough.

Well, the time has come to put those things where they belong and enjoy the peaceful days of summer. This is the time to kick back and enjoy the delights of the season, munch on an ice cream cone and cool off in the lake. Fire up the barbecue and call up some friends or neighbours to join you. Forget about your worries and concentrate only on the moment at hand, after all it’s what really matters.

The things that worried you a few weeks or months or years ago are of no real consequence and seem so trivial with the benefit of hindsight.

Everything resolves itself with the passage of time and worrying about what might happen only creates

Rest. Relax. Rejuvenate.

additional reason for worry. Bad things are going to happen – but good things will happen too and the truth of the matter is we have very little control over them. So why worry? That’s easy to say and considerably harder to tackle. But if you don’t go for that ice cream or fishing trip now you might miss the opportunity and spend the winter months worrying about what you missed.

No doubt there will be hurricanes sometime soon and you can keep checking to see exactly when and where they are taking place. Or you can get a good book from the library or bookstore and settle down in a comfortable chair with a glass of lemonade or something similar.

Which of those two alternatives sounds more appealing?

Do you remember how it felt when you were very young and school ended for the summer.

The warm carefree days stretched before you invitingly and seemed to go on forever. Think that way again, you might just enjoy it.

GET TO KNOW ITS TRUE COLOURS

Beware – and Be Aware of Potential Risks to Public Health People who swim, drink and use water from area lakes are being reminded to be on the lookout for blue-green algae (BGA), and to change their habits accordingly if they detect it.

The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit is encouraging residents, cottagers and visitors who use area lakes and waterways to educate themselves about BGA to reduce their potential health risk. In the past few summers, BGA has surfaced in local lakes, particularly in shallow, still water and during extremely warm temperatures.

“Reports of blue-green algae in our region have been more common in the summer months, so it is important to beware of the risks associated with BGA and be aware of what to look

for in the water,” says Richard Ovcharovich, Manager of Environmental Health with the HKPR District Health Unit.

BGA, also known as cyanobacteria, are primitive microscopic organisms that occur naturally in lakes, bays and inlets around the world. Normally, the algae are barely visible, but during warm weather the algae can rapidly increase in shallow, still waters to form a large mass called a bloom.

Dense blue-green algae blooms can make the water look like a bluish-green pea soup, or a shiny

paint slick. Most algae blooms are short-lived and will break down in a few days or weeks.

While many forms of bluegreen algae are harmless, some forms produce toxins that can be harmful to humans and animals.

This means that any exposure to the water, be it drinking, swimming, bathing, cooking or washing, can lead to health problems. The extent of how sick people can get depends on the type of BGA and how long they are exposed to the toxins, Ovcharovich says.

“If you see or detect serious

It’s all about your lake!

You are invited to attend one of five open houses on lake management plans being developed for Balsam, Cameron, Pigeon, and Sturgeon lakes. We are seeking your input on dealing with issues such as excessive aquatic plants, contaminated runoff, development pressures, E.coli, sediments, invasive species, and other issues. Each plan is in a different stage of development, and will be completed in upcoming years.

The Ontario Water Sector Strategy proposes to make Ontario a “a leading North American site for new water and wastewater technology innovation, demonstration and commercialization” The City of Kawartha Lakes is proud to play a role in this strategy.

With the formation of WRAIN, we are working collaboratively with organizations throughout Kawartha Lakes to meet the demands of the water sector in order to support economic growth.

Water sector jobs are well paying and can’t be outsourced overseas. For every demonstration project we support in Kawartha Lakes, there are economic spin-offs as these companies bring customers and staff to our area for training and marketing purposes.

Please join me in congratulating the team at Water & Wastewater for taking the lead on installing floating wetlands – Kawartha Lakes is being recognized for this outstanding innovation and as a result, we now have another 60+ companies looking to work with us.

Mayor Ric McGee

signs of blue-green algae in a lake or local waterway, avoid using the water at all costs,” he says. “Boiling the water won’t help either, as this kills the algae resulting in the release of more toxins into the water.”

The Health Unit is helping raise awareness about BGA through an information campaign called Blue-Green Algae: Get to Know Its True Colours. The goal is to help people who use area lakes recognize BGA and take appropriate precautions.

United Voice

Waterfront Property Associations On Sunday, July 7th, Mayor Ric McGee ventured to the Fenelon Falls Community Centre to meet with delegates from local waterfront property associations. Over forty residents represented their associations at this Sunday morning meeting. Presentations from the City of Kawartha Lakes Manager of Innovation Tonya Kraan and Kawartha Conservation’s Dave Pridham kicked off the meeting.

Ms. Kraan shared a snapshot of what the Water Research And Innovation Network (WRAIN) has been doing to improve water quality in many of our 250 lakes and rivers. Our waterways, water and wastewater treatment plants are becoming a hub of innovation for water technology. WRAIN is promoting Kawartha Lakes as a willing host and collaborator for companies at the forefront of emerging water solutions.

After the presentations, five local associations took time to share information, best practices and concerns with the rest of the crowd. As the meeting continued, it was clear that attendees were supportive of a unified waterfront voice in Kawartha Lakes. While each association is unique in personality, it was obvious they all share many of the same concerns.

Attendees were eager to take the next step to establish an umbrella group.

If your association is interested in becoming involved with this initiative, please contact Cody Welton, Executive Assistant to the Mayor and Council, at cwelton@city.kawarthalakes.on.ca 705 324.9411 or 888 822.2225 extension 1310 for more information.

A very special thanks to The Promoter as the official media sponsor and the Kawartha Lakes Stewards’ Association and Kawartha Protect Our Water for their attendance and vision over these past number of years.

Tried & Tested in Kawartha Lakes It’s been a busy two weeks in the Economic Development office. As a result of our marketing activities, we have a number of water sector companies interested in working with the City of Kawartha Lakes.

We set a goal to have 11 clients this year. We currently have 18, plus another 50 in the pipeline. Many of the technologies that we are evaluating are confidential in order to protect their intellectual property.

Once they are market ready, we will promote them on www.wrain.ca.

Clients range in size from 2 employees to 1000+, but they all have one thing in common: they need access to ‘real life’ demonstration sites. This is where the City of Kawartha Lakes has an advantage over other communities across the Province – we encourage collaborative demonstration projects.

Environmental Services, Water & Wastewater, Economic Development, Development Services, Parks & Recreation, the Mayor and Council are all working together to improve water quality for residents, tourists and future generations. We will support water sector companies and they will help us reduce operating costs and improve quality.

Kawartha Lakes is well positioned to enjoy economic growth as a leader in the water sector.

Showcasing Water Innovation Project Background The goal of the project is to use floating wetlands to improve the water quality and natural habitat in our lakes and rivers. In addition to swimming and boating, many of our water courses are used as a drinking water supply for many residents in Kawartha Lakes. The floating wetlands will enhance this natural resource.

Horoscopes July 12 to 24, 2013

Melodie McCullough

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Every experience is a life experience – the good, the bad… and the ugly! Don’t be discouraged, Aries, by mistakes or what you feel are regressive moves. We learn from every step we take, backward and forward.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) We sense some tension in your work environment, Taurus. Pressures are mounting. Don’t take on more than you can handle, stand your ground, and do not let anyone take advantage of your generosity.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Ah, those summer days, Gemini! Enjoy them while they are here. In other words, focus on the present, not the past and not the future. Bask in the warmth of the summer sunshine.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) This is your phase, Cancer, as you know only too well. The Summer Triangle (the three brightest stars – Vega, Deneb and Altair) and the Milky Way dominate the night sky. Let them be your guide! Look to the skies for direction and sustenance on these warm summer nights.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Friendship. You know you are someone’s friend when they succeed at something and you feel happy for them. So often friendship can get tied up in jealousy and envy – it’s only normal to want what others have. But if you count your blessings, you’ll realize there are many, many people who would give anything to have what you have.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) “Try to be like the turtle – at ease in your own shell,” – Bill Copeland. Don’t let anyone change you, Virgo! Don’t let them tell you who you are. Just like the turtle’s shell was made especially for him, so is yours made for you.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Oo lala! Libra in love! Yes, that’s right. You, dear Libra, are on the verge of what could be a great love! Don’t go too fast, but fast enough to enjoy the ride!

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Are money worries bogging you down, dear Scorpio? We’re here to tell you that everything will work out, although now is not the time to make any grand expenditures. Keep to your budget, enjoy some small treats, and all will be well.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) A serious, but non-life-threatening illness may appear during this phase, Sagittarius. It will be a minor setback, but a setback, nonetheless. So take time to heal and accept the help of those who love you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) We feel you are in need of some inspiration, dear Capricorn. Never fear – it can be found in many, unpredictable ways. Perhaps a soft melody that evokes warm memories; the enthusiasm of a young street artist; or a beautiful wild flower among the roadside weeds. Take a moment – it is everywhere.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Is the idea of instant gratification impeding your life, Aquarius? Perhaps a distant dream is the answer.

Instead of wanting something right away and never being satisfied with the result, set some long-term goals. Think about how to reach that dream and start taking the first steps towards making it come true!

Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce Long Live the new Royal Princeling! God Save the Queen! Huzzah!

To celebrate the birth of the newest Royal, the offspring of Prince William and Catherine (Kate) Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and in line of succession, and the 60th Year of the Reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the grandmother, loyal, true blue Bobcaygeonites, area residents and visitors, including our American cousins, are invited to ROYAL TEA: The Queen’s Luncheon Tea and Duchess of Cambridge Baby Shower.

sandwiches and desserts, tea and coffee, served in royal memorabilia-decorated surroundings. Ladies are requested to wear their finest dresses and hats, with suitably-attired gentlemen also welcome. (If you have memorabilia to share for display, please contact Ruthann.)

Proceeds from the $15 tickets, which must be purchased before the day of the social occasion, will go in part to re-floor the Chamber offices and as funds for the museum’s collection conservation and development. Guests are also requested to honour Kate’s new-born by bringing baby shower gifts, to be donated to the Women’s Resource Centre, a Lindsay shelter for abused women and their children.

Closer to home, in regard to the 70 street-side hanging baskets, the Chamber thanks the business sponsors; the City, which matched the $6,500 in donations dollar-for-dollar; Miriam Newton, Roger Leclerc and Councillor Pat Warren, who collectively spent over 30 hours hanging the baskets following preparation and delivery by Rural Roots; and Gary Gee, who is ensuring their continuing colourful presence.

Sincere appreciation to all of our Supporters.

Annual Garden Tour Saturday, July 13

Gardens Galore!

ROOTS & RAMBLINGS

It is the time of year when The Kawarthas look their best. There is still a freshness to the landscape before enduring heat or an extended dry period can take a toll. By now, all the hard work of planting, weeding and pruning is paying off for local gardeners.

That is why it is a good time to go on the annual Garden Tour organized by the Bobcaygeon Horticultural Society. It is on this Saturday, July 13, from 10 to 4 pm. For $15 guests get to see eight local gardens at their finest (even though the owners will likely tell you that you should have seen them last week.) Look for the red petunia signs on Saturday morning.

You can expect to see well-tended gardens with healthy, colourful and unusual plants. However this year’s co-organizers are retired teachers. I think that they want you to learn from as well as enjoy the experience. Are you intrigued by what grows behind that stony berm on East Street? Want to keep the geese in the water and not on your lawn?

Ever wish you owned a fish pond to take your mind off all that weeding? Is it time you concentrated on special collections instead of growing one of every thing? Can you integrate art and sculpture into your setting? Do you know how to truly relax on a garden seat in calm solitude? All this is on the tour.

As well this month, we will have a team out looking for candidates for our Gardens Beautiful Awards. These will include not only the best residential and commercial plantings but also vegetable, water, and container gardens and the best Community Organization landscape.

HITTING CLOSE TO HOME Risk of Lyme Disease Increases as Ticks Spread

It’s a common problem in other parts of Ontario, and now local residents are being encouraged to take the threat of Lyme disease seriously in their own backyards this summer.

With blacklegged ticks that can spread Lyme disease being found in many areas of the province, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit is asking people to take precautions. While the risk of Lyme disease is relatively low, the illness can lead to serious problems for some individuals who become infected through tick bites. The earlier Lyme disease is treated, the better it is for a person.

“Be watchful of infected ticks that can spread Lyme disease,” says Richard Ovcharovich, Manager

of Environmental Health with the HKPR District Health Unit. “Ticks that spread Lyme disease act like hitchhikers. The ticks are tiny and do not fly, but will settle on tall grasses and bushes until they can attach themselves to a passing person or animal.”

Once attached to people or animals, the ticks will feed on their blood. Ticks are more likely to transmit infection to a person after being attached for more than 24 hours of feeding. That makes it important for people to check for ticks on their bodies, especially if they spend time doing outdoor activities, Ovcharovich says. To prevent ticks from biting, the Health Unit advises local residents to: • Wear light-coloured clothing, which makes ticks easier to spot.

• Wear closed footwear and socks, a long sleeved shirt and long pants. Tuck your pants into your socks.

• Use a tick repellent that has DEET, following the manufacturer’s directions.

• If in an area where you might get bitten by ticks, search your body for ticks at least once a day.

• Dogs, cats and other pets can carry ticks that spread Lyme disease.

Pet owners should put tick and flea collars on pets and periodically check dogs and cats for the presence of ticks.

According to Ovcharovich, if people locate a tick on their bodies, they should remove it quickly and

properly to prevent infection. Avoid squeezing the tick, putting anything on it, or trying to burn it off, he advises. Instead, with the use of fine-tipped tweezers, carefully grasp the tick by the head as close to your skin as possible. Pull it straight out, gently but firmly, then thoroughly clean the bite area using soap and water or a disinfectant. If possible, place the live tick in a screw-top bottle and take it to your health care provider or local Health Unit office.

Testing can be done to determine if the tick is the type that can carry Lyme disease. Symptoms of Lyme disease include fever, headache, tiredness and muscle and joint pains. A good indicator of Lyme disease is a skin rash in the shape of a bull’s eye.

Symptoms can occur as soon as three days or as long as a month after a tick bite. If you experience Lyme disease symptoms, seek medical attention.

For more information on Lyme disease, call the Health Unit at 1.866.888.4577 or visit www.hkpr.on.ca.

Did You Know That Legally...

If your landlord is also your employer, and he has terminated your employment, he may also terminate your tenancy? According to s.58 (1) (3) of the Residential Tenancies Act, you may find yourself in this unlikely position if your residential rental is

conditional on your employment. The notice period for this situation is normally 60 days. An example of this type of employer/tenant relationship would be a superintendant, or property manager of an apartment building. For more questions or concerns about landlord and tenant issues you may wish to contact a licensed paralegal.

Health & Wellness NEW WAYS TO TIGHTEN THE SKIN ON YOUR FACE As we age, the skin starts to sag for two reasons. First, the connective tissue in the skin called collagen, gradually decreases in volume, causing the support tissues in the skin to weaken. Secondly, the collagen that is present, loses its elasticity, making the skin less able to spring back.

To counteract these factors, and to tighten up the skin, there are two exciting new technologies now available: Ultrasound and radio frequency heating.

Ultrasound technology uses focused ultrasound to tighten up the collagen and stimulate the tissues to make more collagen. The disadvantages of this method are that it is painful and expensive, however it is effective with no downtime.

Radio frequency increases and tightens up the collagen fibers by using controlled heating. This is a less expensive treatment, has the advantage of being painless and very affordable. This treatment gives great results with no downtime.

Both technologies offer promise for people who want to tighten up their skin, without painful and expensive surgery.

Dr. Peter Ursel has been treating the aging face for over 20 years. Consultations are available at 705 328 1747. For more information and videos go to www.doctorursel.com

Community Cares They’re Out There – Be Prepared!

“They” are volunteers found outside of local businesses on most weekends at this time of the year, raising money for worthy causes by asking the public to support their Tag Day efforts. Community Care’s annual Tag Day fundraising takes place this weekend in Fenelon Falls and Kirkfield, and July 25 - 27 in Bobcaygeon.

Agency volunteers will be greeting the public outside of several local businesses, equipped with coin boxes for donations, and agency information should anyone wish to learn more about the organizations and its services.

To anyone who scrounges around the seats of the car or digs into change purses for 50 cents or July 12, 2013 - The Promoter 25

a loonie to drop into the bucket, it may seem that Tag Days don’t really raise much money. However, each year throughout the City of Kawartha Lakes, Community Care raises close to $15,000 with Tag Day donations – that’s a lot of quarters and loonies!

The funds are important and the public’s support is valued. None of this would be possible without the support of two important groups – local merchants who allow the agency reps to tag outside of their places of business, and the dozens of volunteers who give a couple of hours of their time to contribute to the project.

Tag Days are a great example of how every little bit adds up and makes a difference. In the next couple of weeks, if you spot a Community Care volunteer in a bright blue vest outside of a local store and you can spare some change, it will be very much appreciated!

Thank you!

ROBBED OF ENERGY?

There are many reasons for feeling tired such as lack of sleep, or working too long without a break.

But did you know there other reasons we suffer from fatigue?

Structural or biochemical imbalance can have a major impact on our energy levels and can become chronic if not treated effectively.

Eating the wrong combination of foods: Junk and processed foods, sweets and sodas will decrease energy levels and stress the body’s digestive and immune systems.

Eating protein and starch together (meat & potatoes) or eating too much protein and not enough veggies and fruit can also cause energy problems.

• Lack of exercise (20 – 30 min. a day) Shallow breathing. Deep breathing will increase oxygen to the body and increase energy.

• Poor sleeping conditions: sleeping in a very warm room, or on a poor quality mattress and pillow will affect sleep patterns as well as structural balance, impacting the body’s ability to deal with day to day energy requirements.

• Poor digestion or sluggish bowels can be very detrimental; therefore a balanced diet high in fruits, vegetables and fibre along with appropriate supplements is essential.

• Too much weight, smoking and alcohol can also be contributing factors.

It is a non-surgical approach to treating back pain that gently stretches apart the vertebral segments of the spine, to relieve pressure on pinched nerves and discs. Many back and neck problems develop because the force of gravity compresses the spine. Day to day activities such as standing, sitting or walking cause wear and tear on the discs resulting in pressure - on the July 12, 2013 - The Promoter nerves. Decompression-treatment relieves the buildup of pressure by stretching the spine, reversing the effects of gravity. The decompression equipment is designed to gently introduce

Use Your Head Wear a Helmet!

When used properly, bicycle helmets can prevent up to 88 per cent of brain injuries occurring from crashes. By preventing head injuries, these helmets save lives.

As the mild weather returns, the Canada Safety Council encourages Canadians to get active and stay safe by wearing a well-fitting helmet whenever on a bicycle.

• Before using your bike helmet, check it for cracks and other damage. If the integrity of the helmet has been compromised, replace it.

• Replace your helmet if you are involved in a crash where you hit your head. The foam inside the helmet will have compressed, and will no longer offer adequate protection.

• Replace your helmet if it is five years old or older.

With time, the plastic making up the helmet dries out and becomes brittle, compromising the protection the helmet can offer.

• Look for a CSA safety sticker when buying a new helmet. Avoid purchasing used helmets, as they may not meet current safety guidelines or may be more than five years old.

• A well-fitting bike helmet will have no more than two-fingers of space between your eyebrows and the base of helmet.

• A good example for your friends and the children in your life – wear your helmet.

• A helmet only works if you wear it. So wear it!

IN MEMORY

MEMORY OF MY DAD CLARE DAVIS 10 years from today, I sit here writing what I have to say.

I feel your love as strong as when God took you away.

Love patiently accepts all things.

Love - always trusts, always hopes, and always remains strong.

Which is what I have tried to do since losing you.

There was nothing as nice as to have a DAD who sees the good in me, believes in me, always encouraged me to become the person God made me to be.

Thats one of the things that made you my exceptional DAD. I will never forget the love you showed me, your big hugs and kisses.

My unconditional love for you will never fade, for you were the BEST DADDY OF THEM ALL; from your humor to laughter, your encouragement to your

guidance, giving and caring and most of all your big heart of gold that glittered in every smile you gave.

All I ask is never leave my side from up above and I will never stop loving and missing you from down below.

I will continue to pray that God is looking after you each and every day because if you were here below I would care for you in a very loving way.

Sending all my love to you up above (by airmail) LOVE you.

Your daughter, Carolee OXOX _____________________ In Loving Menory of our beloved husband, stepfather, grandfather, Helmut Al Kuenle who left us 13 years ago. August 2nd 2000.

If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, We’d walk right up to heaven, And bring you home again.

Your Loving wife, Ginny; Alan, Cheryl, David and Chris Clause.

HAINES, Donald Walter (Don)

Passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday July 3, 2013 Don Haines of Bobcaygeon, formerly of Scarborough at the age of 71. He is survived by his partner Dorothy Black, his five children Neil, Janice, Ross, Dean and Denise, 11 grandchildren and his sister Yvonne Barbuto.

He is predeceased by his wife Colleen. Don was an avid curler with many passions, including fixing small engines.

He was a very busy volunteer at Kawartha Settlers’ Village in Bobcaygeon.

Some very important person upstairs must have needed a handyman. Don will be greatly missed by everyone. We love you Papa. The family would like to express their gratitude to Kristen Cazabon and Amanda Coates from “We Care Home Health Services” for their support and kindness. A Celebration of Don’s Life will be held in the Murphy Barn at Kawartha Settlers’ Village on Friday, July 12, 2013 from 11:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Hope to see you there. Arrangements entrusted to Monk Funeral Home, Bobcaygeon. If desired, memorial donations to Kawartha Settlers’ Village, Lakefield Animal Welfare Society or the charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Kawartha Cooks

Featuring Christopher Tuberdyke Down a road that’s calm and peaceful, Guided by God’s loving hand, You have gone upon a journey To a distant, brighter land, And although my heart is heavy The sorrow I still bear, It helps to bring me comfort, Knowing you are happy there, I “awake” and hear you call my name As you have many times before I “look” around but you’re not there It’s not the same anymore, The many years we shared together, Your mom and my mom and dad When your call came eight years ago I was left so “lonely and very sad” If I could have one lifetime wish, One dream that could come true, I’d pray to “God” with all my heart For yesterday and “all of you” I said it before, “Bev” And I will say it again, When I married you, “love” I had all the “wealth” in the world God Bless you “sweetheart”.

You will always be my “Special Angel” And “our parents”, too.

Love always and forever, Your loving husband, Bill.

I’m sure there are other things you’d rather be doing on any given summer evening than cooking dinner, and that’s okay. It’s summer, and summer is short.

No one wants to spend a sunny evening tethered to the stove while everyone else is playing ‘Marco Polo’.

Let fresh summer flavors speak for themselves.

They don’t need a whole lot of fuss. Less fuss equals more time for you.

This soup comes together fast, requires little work, and because it’s delicious either warm or chilled, its ready when you are.

Fresh Corn and Basil Soup 6 fresh corn cobs, washed and peeled 1 cup chopped shallots 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoons olive oil 1 russet potato, peeled and diced 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock 1/2 bunch basil, roughly chopped Salt/fresh cracked pepper

Basil Oil Garnish (optional–see below)

1 Remove kernels from cob. To do this, cut one end of the corn so it stands up flat on your cutting board and run a sharp knife down the sides. Set aside corn and reserve the cobs.

2 In a large pot combine butter and olive oil over medium heat. When hot add shallots and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-10 minutes.

3 Add corn kernels, diced potato, and stock to the pot. Break reserved cobs in half and add. Season with a bit of salt/ pepper.

4 Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and allow to simmer until tender, 10-15 minutes.

Remove cobs and add basil. Puree using an immersion blender, or in batches in a stand blender. Enjoy warm or cold!

Basil Oil

Olive oil 1/2 cup fresh basil, washed Salt/pepper

Place basil, salt, and pepper in a blender. Stream in oil on high until combined.
