Paper Cuts

Turn Indicators I heard this: She took a turn that changed her life.

During a recent summer storm, my small Inukshuk fell off the windowsill. The Inukshuk was special to me because my daughter-in-law, an artist, made it of stone she found along a roadside. For that reason, it was the only one I really cared to own. According to Inuit philosophy, Inukshuk guides you home.

But I found it broken on the floor.

It was a year ago last winter when I began spending time in Bobcaygeon. Then, as now, my partner and I frequently walked around and through the village.

The first time I spotted a particular dog out enjoying her walk, it was near the swing bridge. I stopped and asked her companion what her name was. He told us it was Princess.

As months passed, we often saw each other on the village streets. No matter what the weather was like,

Cover Photo: Fred Thornhill

Princess and her companion went out for their exercise. One day, we met Duchess, her new sister dog.

Then we noticed one, two or more dogs on leashes either tagging along or leading the way. Sometimes Princess and Duchess weren’t even with them.

We came to call this canine companion, “the dog walker.” He usually waved or said hello.

Not long ago, I learned the man’s name was Al. He was, in fact, a dog walker. He treated all of the animals with respect–a pretty good indicator that a person has a kind spirit.

He chose many directions for his walks and he certainly covered a good deal of territory. We seldom saw him in the same place.

Al passed away last week. Just like that. There’s a noticeable absence out there. As I walk the blocks he knew so well, I considered the twists and turns– right, left, wrong, right–that change our lives.

The fragility of life comes to mind.

And there likely aren’t coincidences or, come to think of it, too many wrong turns. We get to where we are supposed to be.

We ought to talk to each other more.

All opinions expressed are those of the writer.

To the Editor:

I am writing this letter to express my gratitude to Dr. Dave Heaton and all those that work with him at the Three Islands Veterinary Services in Bobcaygeon.

Those fortunate enough to have dealt with Dr. Heaton and Dr. Robbie Heather will not be surprised at the outcome of my recent emergency visit to their clinic with my pet. After an initial assessment and x-rays later, it was determined that my pet’s chance of recovery was slim to none, so I made the decision to (let her pass) and bring her home to bury her.

Dr. Heaton went above and beyond with his compassionate care which included sending my family a sympathy card.

In conclusion, I would strongly encourage anyone looking for veterinary services to entrust the care of their beloved pets to those at Three Islands.

With much appreciation and gratitude…

Letter to the Editor

Fiscal responsibility. This is a phrase that we hear much of lately, especially from our elected officials.

“We have to cut your annual free dumping pass because we are being ‘fiscally responsible’ and therefore won’t have to increase your property taxes.”

Sounds good, right?

How about, “We’re going to allow a quarry and concrete batching plant in the middle of a beautiful tourist area because we will be making revenue from haulage of materials.”

Hum…

Let’s think this through. Property values near this PROPOSED area will drop a minimum of 25%.

Let us say the average property tax bill is $2000, I know it is probably more, but let’s use a median number. Say there are 300 properties paying $500 less in taxes. This means the loss of income to the Township is $150,000.

But wait, you say we’re getting money for haulage of the products over our roads.

Correct, however…

Apparently we have a 6 cents a tonne (metric ton) agreement with this proposal. This translates into 2.5 cents a ton!

This means, to recoup $150,000 in lost revenue, 6 million tons of rock, gravel & concrete will have to be blasted, washed, mixed and trucked out YEARLY recoup this loss. This does not include the people who are direct neighbours of this proposal these people will have their property devalued by as much as 50%.

To put this into perspective, last year, from the EXISTING quarries, $23,000 was taken in revenue.

This equates to 9.200 tons of rock and gravel. This means, to recoup $150,000 in lost revenue, there would need to be 6.5 times the trucking traffic that already exists!

Could someone please explain to me how, in any way, this could be considered fiscally responsible?

Oh yes, by the way, last year 5.1 million dollars were spent in road repairs in this area. Most of this caused by trucks going to and coming from the quarries ALREADY in existence in this area.

Anna Blake President, PGCA

Here, Mocha!

On Saturday June 23rd I was attempting to take my dog into Caygeon Canines for a nail trim and she got away from me by slipping out of her collar.

I would like to thank everyone who helped me get her back.

There was a young lady from Three Islands Veterinary Clinic, a man who gave me some tasty meat to entice her back, a couple in a green van and especially Liz from Caygeon Canines who closed up her shop and drove around town keeping an eye on my wayward Siberian Husky Mocha.

We finally caught up with Mocha, but not because she finally decided to be obedient, but because she was exhausted from the heat.

Thanks to everyone who took time to help us.

City Hall

By Gord Killen

STAFF VS. COUNCIL

“Design Standards – Subdivision/Site Plan Development” was the focus of the first of the day’s deputations by Mr. Martyn Stollar, Managing Director of J. Stollar and Co., Barrie, Ont.

Mr. Stollar, a former mayor, went to great lengths to remind Council that in response to a letter of March 14, 2011, that staff arrange an information/education seminar to assist Council in fully understanding the Design Standards and that notice be given that Council intends to adopt the Design Standards, noting the meeting date, and invite members of the public to make a delegation to Council or submit their comments/suggestions/ thoughts from a developer perspective; and that the Environmental Advisory Committee, as well as any other interested group, be notified of the proposed Design Standards and be provided with a copy of the report.”

According to Mr. Stollar some fifteen (15) months have passed since Council directed that this “be completed and be brought back to Council within three (3) months”. More to the point he said, “It is now fully sixty (60) months since Engineering was treated as constituting the City’s official “Subdivision Design Standards”. Mr. Stollar asserts that the present situation gives rise to, in his opinion, Staff allowing some developers greater latitude and flexibility than others, thereby creating a double standard.

Later in the afternoon, the Director of the department, Ron Taylor, took great pains to explain to Council what he feels is happening from his perspective and that they are forging ahead with standards that would be applicable to all developers.

Councilor Luff felt that Staff ‘had their eye on the ball’ whereas Councilor Dunn felt a report was necessary as this has been an issue since 2007. In a close vote, Council agreed with Dunn. Who really runs the City, the Mayor and Staff or the Mayor and Council? Stay tuned.

NORTHWEST TRUNK SANITARY SEWER PROJECT

Once again Mr. Stollar offered his pithy thoughts regarding the escalating costs regarding the NWT Project. It is his opinion that due to changes being made, unforeseen costs will accrue to the Taxpayers of City of Kawartha Lakes. He estimates anywhere from $1.425 million to as much as $4 to 8 million.

And we were assured that this project would not cost taxpayers a cent. In response, the Director, Ron Taylor, while agreeing with the overall cost estimates supplied by Stollar, felt that the estimates were not out of line and were being closely monitored.

The one change that was highlighted was the extension of the sewer to the CWL Airport, which, if implemented, will add an additional cost to be borne by the Taxpayer. Interestingly, the sewer extension to the airport was not brought up. In looking over

the Airport Management Committee’s proposal presented at the Council meeting of June 12, I can find no mention in it regarding costs either. While I agree it would not be a factor in deliberations thus far, but someone somewhere should be cognisant of this change. Yet another disturbing factor.

OLD MILL

The financing of this capital project, in the amount of $50,000, was approved during the 2012 budget deliberations and placed in a Capital Reserve. Up until now little has taken place to begin the restoration of this site that will at some point be designated a heritage site. Total restoration costs are expected to be $200,000. Chair of Heritage Victoria suggested that in order to get things moving, collaboration between the Parks Advisory Committee and the Heritage Victoria Committee would be advantageous. The Chair of the Parks Committee readily agreed. After some discussion Council easily passed it.

At the present time there is considerable concern regarding the South and East walls of the structure and it is critical that work be started by fall at the latest.

FLEET EVALUATION REPORT

In an effort to reduce costs, Dean Bolton, Manager of Fleet Services and Michelle Hendry, Director of Public Works, made a number of suggestions to Council namely; some vehicle amortization periods should be extended (i.e. from 7 to 9 years) where it makes good business sense to do so and that all vehicles have a (fixed asset) number assigned by Fleet and that it be clearly marked on all vehicles.

City department identifiers should be removed where practicable to encourage pooling between departments.

Further, Fleet Services should develop a pool of a minimum of six (6) vehicles (car / pickup trucks or vans) in good working condition to offset the need to rent vehicles. Lastly, EMS and Police Services vehicles, at the end for their life cycle and having been approved for replacement, could be offered first to the City’s Fleet Services department for redeployment before other options are considered.

High time and if this works, they should be commended for their efforts.

READY, SET, GOAL!

Habitat for Humanity City of Kawartha Lakes The City of Kawartha Lakes chapter of Habitat for Humanity has set a goal to raise $150,000 to build their first home in Lindsay.

The chair of the committee Ed Call, and vicechair Joe McGuire explained, “Habitat gives families a hand up, not a hand out.”

Habitat families might otherwise never have the opportunity for home ownership due to low

income. No down payment is required and Habitat for Humanity holds the interest free mortgage.

Participating families are required to contribute at least 500 hours of “sweat equity” towards the construction of their home by hammering nails, sawing wood and performing any laboring duties they can. Sponsored families cannot sell their Habitat home for ten years after taking possession.

House payments are limited to 25 percent of the family income. All money for the principal goes back into the pot to help other families.

The guiding principles behind Habitat are to give children a better life so they may grow up and give back to their community. The committee has submitted a request to council to donate a lot for the first build.

Vice-chair, Joe McGuire said, “It is majorly important that council, to be representatives of CKL, take a step to alleviate the housing needs of people in CKL as a sign of leadership”.

On Tuesday July 31st, from 4 pm to 7 pm, Smitty’s Restaurant in the Whitney Town Centre will donate ten percent of their food sales to Habitat.

Special meals are on offer for this event.

In addition to the Smitty’s fundraiser, the committee has several other exciting events planned, including a competition among local businesses to build houses of Mega Bloks.

Businesses who want to participate in the Mega Bloks competition can call Pamela McLarnon at 705.320.8870 for more information.

CHAMBER BOOSTS BOBCAYGEON

By Bobcaygeon Chamber of Commerce What plans does your Chamber have to benefit the businesses of Bobcaygeon…and entertain its residents during the “dog days of summer”?

Plenty!

Leading the pack, on the August 4th long weekend, is the always-popular, rain-doesn’tdampen-its-spirit Bobcaygeon Midnight Madness.

Occupying the entire prime-real estate Bolton Street-Main Street corridor–with additional booths on King Street East–the 7:00 pm to midnight, family event features everything from food to feathers. Live music and presentations add a zip to the festivities.

The next event, new on the local social calendar, is scheduled for the Lakeview Arts Barn, Pigeon Lake Road, on Wednesday, August 22nd.

Called a “Canapés and Live Theatre!” evening, its limited number of $40.00 tickets will provide a 7 to 8.00 pm nibble-and-smooze time, followed at 8 pm by the stage presentation of “Looking.”

It’s a Norm Foster production, described by Globus Theatre entrepreneurs James Barrett and Sarah Quick as, “A romantic comedy about four loveable losers who are middle-aged, single and looking…high romance and contagious laughter.”

The event will be presented by the Kawartha Lakes Associated Chambers of Commerce, a co-operative organization comprising the Bobcaygeon, Lindsay and Fenelon Falls Chambers of Commerce, as represented by their executives.

KLACC’s “strength in numbers” mandate is to represent the more than 1,200 City of Kawartha Lakes businesses on issues of importance to the city community as a whole.

WILDERNESS PARK Update and Plans

The Environmental Action Bobcaygeon Committee and the Friends of Wilderness Park volunteers have been working since May to remove garbage and tons of debris left in the Park just north of Cageon Lanes Restaurant on Hwy #36.

Large loads of trash have been removed by our volunteers and the City of Kawartha Lakes, including many bags of bottles, cans, etc. and truckloads of discarded construction material. The City Parks Directors have given the stewardship of this park, eight acres of old growth forest, to the Environmental Action Bobcaygeon Committee, and forty “Friends of Wilderness Park” have paid a membership fee of $20.00 to help.

We plan to have a display at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday, August 4th followed by a late summer picnic for the “Friends” and others interested to see the progress and enjoy a non-work get together.

We will apply by November 1, 2012 for a Trillium

Foundation Grant. If our proposal is accepted, we could receive funding in March 2013, enabling us to begin trail construction in the Spring. We hope to provide groomed trials of crushed limestone for walking, hiking, cycling, skiing and snowshoeing!

Please contact Richard Fedy at (705)738-3272 if you would like to help develop our Wilderness Park by preserving this forest, and providing a healthy recreational area for families and visitors in Bobcaygeon.

The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in Fenelon Falls

Local MP Barry Devolin, on behalf of the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages and His Excellency The Right Honourable David Johnston, awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal to five Kawartha Lakes residents. The presentations were made at the community celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in Fenelon Falls.

The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal is a tangible way for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country. At the same time, it serves to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians.

“For 60 years, Her Majesty has exemplified the true meaning of public service and today we recognize several great individuals who have dedicated themselves to service to family, community and country,” said Devolin.

Recipients include: Arlene Colman, Ian Colman, Inspector, Mark Mitchell, Inspector Robert Shaw, Glenn Woolfrey. During the year of celebrations, 60,000 deserving Canadians from across the country and various walks of life will be recognized.

All Inclusive Retirement Living For Less Than You Imagined

Life at Adelaide Place is a superb blend of fact and philosophy.

The fact is: a combination of good nutrition, social interaction and physical activity are absolutely essential to a person’s well being.

The philosophy is: personal choice and plenty of options promote independence.

The bonus is: retirement isn’t what it used to be. Retirement has evolved so much!

Says Adrienne West, Director of Community Relations for Adelaide Place, “Retirement communities have changed so much that when people come in, they are thrilled to see how great life really can be.”

While the biggest challenge may be making the initial decision to move, two of the best surprises about Adelaide Place may be the affordability and ease of transition.

“It’s really all about choice,” West explains. “We are always providing our residents with options. And we also help to facilitate the transition to make it a smooth and easy one.”

Here, seniors are able to maintain their independence while having 24-hour support on hand. They get to enjoy the best of all worlds. Residents may do and enjoy as much as they wish. From participating in lively discussions, to choosing when you dine and with whom, selecting an activity or day trip--or opting for a good book, some music and a luxurious afternoon nap--it’s a choice.

It’s possible the only question might be: Why didn’t I do this sooner?

“It’s always the right time to start something new,” says West. “We want people to see that with their own eyes.”

Call today. Ask for Adrienne West. She’ll treat you to a personal tour.

Minutes of Municipal Meetings Are Not All That Important

With these words, Walter and Sally Wilkins realized that they were now to experience the incompetent side of appointed Municipal officials.

It was the aftermath of the Wilkins’ Variance Application described in COTTAGE WARS. They were reading over the Minutes from their portion of the Committee of Alterations Meeting.

The Minutes revealed that Amber Etherington’s remarks were now attributed to a woman who had spoken in the previous agenda item. Chris Caboto, who had spoken in some detail about his frustration

Council is receiving applications from citizens of the Township of GalwayCavendish and Harvey for appointment to the following Board: Public Library Board – 1 appointment This appointment will serve for the balance of the current term of Council.

Resumes should be submitted no later than 12:00 noon on Friday, August 10, 2012 to: Pat Kemp, CAO Box 820, R.R. #3 701 County Rd. #36 Bobcaygeon, ON K0M 1A0 Telephone: 705-738-3800 ext. 235 1-800-374-4009 Email: pkemp@galwaycavendishharvey.ca Fax: 705-738-3801

and doubt concerning the local Building Inspector’s knowledge of measuring, was omitted entirely.

The Wilkins requested that the Minutes be corrected and amended so that they might be accurate and a few weeks later a second set of Minutes was received. More errors surfaced, Chris Caboto was still omitted, but Amber Etherington’s name was correctly placed in the proceedings.

Again Wilkins complained and again the grumpy Secretary-Treasurer sent off another set of Minutes.

Chris Caboto’s name was again omitted along with his damning statements about the Building Inspector.

Some months later, the Wilkins walked into the Development Office, asked for and looked at their file and discovered yet another copy of the Minutes, again wrong and incomplete and this one not even mailed to them.

THE NORTH PIGEON LAKE RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION

By Ross A. Morton

The proposed development of Boyd Island with four hundred plus cottages and all that goes with a major development was the first crisis that triggered some enlightened residents, like Ted Hill, George Jewitt, Ted Pollock and Jim O’Brien, to meet regularly for discussion. At that time, the residents didn’t even have a Tim Hortons to gather at and discuss their concerns. The local town council needed more expertise to answer residents’ questions, such as, where would 400 families park their cars and boats on the mainland, was there to be a bridge, what about fire protection? Out of their deliberations came a cohesive group to be molded into the NPLRA.

They approached the town council with

14 July 27, 2012 - The Promoter

legitimate arguments built on facts and reasonable expectations. The NPLRA members were heard as one after another step to guarantee that any development would be sane. The island remains the pristine piece of property on Pigeon Lake. The legacy of George, Ted, Ted, Jim and others from 25 years ago is very evident today. It was not about them; it was about the lake and the generations that would enjoy it.

The word quarry entered the vocabulary of NPLRA as a second crisis. Is our area becoming “the new quarry capital of Ontario”? In 2011, a spokesperson from the Ontario Sand Stone and Aggregate Association spoke to our 2011 AGM. She allayed some of our fears as the association seemed to have high standards for how a quarry should operate.

But, to her knowledge, none of our townships’ quarries were members of the association!

In 2012, we have a “mega quarry” on the docket for our township. When the Planning Meeting was listening to the proposal for rezoning, a deluge of constituents descended on Council. The result was a further public meeting was held on the 23rd of June.

At this meeting people were quite vocal and they covered all the issues. One of the best and most succinctly encapsulating statement was when someone stated that the Town appears to give more attention to a request to build a dock than they give to quarry plans. NPLRA has thus focused on this issue since it is as great as the original reason for our association’s formation 25 years ago.

I am meeting more new neighbours who are joining NPLRA as they see the issues surrounding quarries as equivalent to what we saw years ago about the island’s development.

The NPLRA’s AGM is July 28th, 10:00 am, Bobcaygeon Lawn Bowling Club. Come out and join up.

HOME INSPECTION with Bill Handley

Home buying is a complex process that can be daunting. You’ll find hundreds of potential properties advertised on dozens of Canadian websites. But which one is right for you? A REALTOR® will guide you through every step, explain the market, the process and the paperwork.

Be an informed buyer. Here are a couple web sites with great information and checklists you can print off to use www.howrealtorshelp.ca and www. cmhc-schl.gc.ca.

The purpose of your personal inspection is only to eliminate those properties from consideration that have too many obvious deficiencies. It is not designed to take the place of a professional house inspection. If a house passes your initial “tests” (location, wants and needs), you will probably schedule a second showing where you can spend time doing an inspection of the house. The following checklist will help you to evaluate and compare the quality of houses that you are considering for purchase before you decide to make a purchase offer.

Ask questions: 1. If your home has a septic system, ask vendor to provide you with information.

2. If your home has a well, ask vendor to provide you with information.

3. Ask if the home is on a flood plain.

4. Ask about easements, right of way; check the survey.

5. Ask if it’s a private road or municipality street

6. Ask if it has been remodelled, added to, or had repairs? Does the vendor have building permits, warranty information, or other documentation?

7. The curb look:

a) Grounds are they graded with a slope to direct rain and melting snow away from the house?

b) Roof: is the ridgeline a nice straight line or a wavy surface, do the shingles appear new or old? What is the overall condition? Do you see vents? Condition of any chimneys?

8. Now walk around the exterior. Are there any obvious cracks or shifts in the foundation?

9. Inside the home basement, check for signs of water penetration in the basement walls.

10. Check inside all ceilings and areas around windows for evidence of leaks?

11. In general, view the quality, workmanship and the maintained upkeep of the house.

Have realistic expectations. There is no such thing as a defect-free home. A brand new structure will have some items in need of correction, and the most immaculately kept home will also have some issues that could use some improvement.

THUNDERSTORMS

Preparation is Key With thunderstorm season in full swing in Ontario, Hydro One wants to remind you and your family of the importance of being prepared in case of an extended emergency if severe weather strikes.

Make it a family activity to create a list of items your family would need in the event of an extended emergency and gather together your emergency kit.

Consider including the following items: •Water (recommend 2L per person/day) •Canned or dried food that won’t spoil •A manual can opener •Windup or battery powered flashlight •Windup or battery powered radio •Batteries for your flashlight and radio •A copy of your emergency evacuation plan •Any medical items you require •Blanket •Your community’s recovery plan •Hydro One’s emergency power outage hotline number - 1-800-434-1235. Ensure you have at least one corded phone at home; a cordless phone will not work in a power outage.

Keep your emergency kit in a backpack and make sure everyone in your home knows where to find it.

If your area is affected by a storm, be sure to stay clear of any fallen power lines. If you spot a fallen line, keep at least 10 metres away, even if it doesn’t appear to be live. Report it to the police and call Hydro One at 1-800-434-1235. Safety is at the core of everything Hydro One employees do. Not only are our crews trained in First Aid, every Hydro One vehicle is equipped with a First Aid kit.

Summer of 2012, will you remember: the heat, a wedding, a new baby, a new cottage, a fun vacation?

We’ll remember our camp children. The children have enjoyed a great time learning, living like settlers, feeding all of our animals, playing games, and cooling down with water fights. All of our animals are here now: two kids, a family of ducks

Horoscope

FOR JULY 27-AUGUST 2

by Melodie Mc Cullough

Aries (March 21 to April 20) “They came, they saw, they ... lingered”. Be on the lookout for a man or woman in black, Aries, possibly lingering about. It could mean trouble. Then again, we’re not 100%. We’re just saying ... please be cautious.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) There’s an old photograph hanging around and it’s got a hold on you, Virgo. Learn to forgive and forget and know that everyone makes mistakes, including you. Treat others well. A happy event will brighten your life this phase – with much more happiness ahead.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” Have you taken the time lately to discover the wonders of the world of art, Taurus? Music, theatre, dance, the visual arts, for example? Consider the musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream presented by Driftwood Theatre Group Aug. 3 at Settlers’Village; the music and artisan displays at Midnight Madness Aug. 4; and the ongoing theatre productions of Globus Theatre at the Lakeview Arts Barns. Find yourself or lose yourself – or both.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Home and family is mostly on your mind these summery days, Libra.

In the easy-breezy days ahead, loosen up and savor the company of both your immediate and extended families. Don’t take them for granted, and neither will they.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Now is the time to sell yourself, Gemini. Stick your head out and do what it takes to stand above the crowd. If you believe in yourself and show it, you will soar above the crowd – and beyond!

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Taking a vacation soon, Cancer? We sense some hesitancy. Don’t be nervous. People look up to you more than you realize and know what good strong qualities you possess. Relax and enjoy yourself.

You deserve a huge break!

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) There’s still plenty of summer out there to enjoy, Leo, so let the good times roll where they will. You may find yourself spinning down the hill out of control, but so what? That’s what summer is all about!

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Your zodiac colours are deep red and black, Scorpio. During this phase, we will look at the symbolism of red and its effect on your life. It is the warmest of all colours, often typifying passionate love and representing danger (fire), life and vitality (blood). Wear red and welcome it with your whole being when you want to present yourself as bold and dynamic. It can boost your confidence, energize you, and protect you from fears and anxieties.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Enough is enough, dear Sag. The time has come to seriously make your health a top priority – your physical, mental and emotional health – because they are all connected. Your family and friends will benefit and thank you. Above all else, you will be a happier person.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) You will experience improved health, Capricorn, and with it lots of opportunities for new adventures and, dare we say it, exhilarating escapades. They’re just waiting for you to partake.

Jump right in!

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Look out, Aquarius! Love is in the air! Don’t take a back seat – grab the wheel and steer yourself down the road to whereever you want to go. There will be no regrets, only good times, and many memories.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Hold your children close, Pisces. Children are our future. Treat them well, show them respect, and praise them. Treasure them. Cherish them. Above all, tell them you love them and each and every day God gives you.

If you’re a parent, it is your responsibility to follow through on this vital safety measure for your children and teens. Stay on top of it.

Plus, it’s your responsibility to lead by example and protect yourself when you ride a bike, too.

Here’s the chance to brush up on your awareness. From the Ministry of Transportation:

In Ontario, it is the law that every cyclist under the age of 18 must wear an approved bicycle helmet.

An approved bicycle helmet can greatly reduce the risk of permanent injury or death in the event of a fall or collision. Helmet use reduces brain injury by 88%. A helmet works by absorbing the forces of a crash, so if the helmet has been in a collision, it should be replaced even if there is no visible damage.

The best helmet is one that fits properly, is worn correctly and has been manufactured to meet strict safety standards. Look for a safety standards sticker meeting the approval of safety organizations such as the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), Snell, ANSI, ASTM, BSI, CPSC and SAA.

Helmets from other sports such as hockey, baseball, and football are not recommended for cycling. They are designed and tested for different types of impact.

To provide maximum protection, the helmet should fit level and square on your head. It should fit snugly and not slip when you move your head.

To check a proper fit: • There should be two finger widths between your eyebrows and the helmet.

• The straps should be flat against the face.

• The side straps should meet just below the ear making a V-shape under your ear lobe.

• The chinstrap should be fastened snugly with enough room to fit one finger between your chin and the strap.

• Use the sizing pads provided with the helmet to adjust the fit.

Fibromyalgia is a form of generalized muscular pain and fatigue that affects approximately 1 million Canadians.

The name fibromyalgia means pain in the muscles and the fibrous connective tissues (the ligaments and tendons). Fibromyalgia lacks laboratory abnormalities; instead, the diagnosis depends mostly on a person’s report or complaints and feelings. Pain is the most prominent symptom of fibromyalgia. It generally occurs throughout the body, although it may start in one region, such as the neck and shoulders, and spread to other areas

over a period of time.

A majority of people suffering from fibromyalgia experience moderate or severe fatigue with lack of energy, decreased exercise endurance, or the kind of exhaustion that results from the flu or lack of sleep. Sometimes the fatigue is more of a problem than the pain. Headaches, especially muscular (tension headaches) and migraine headaches, are common with fibromyalgia. Abdominal pain, bloating and alternating constipation and bladder spasms and irritability may cause urinary urgency or frequency. A person’s skin and blood circulation can be sensitive to temperature changes, resulting in temporary changes in skin colour.

As a doctor trained in Chiropractic Neurology, I take a different approach to the treatment and prevention of fibromyalgia. After a thorough neurological exam, I determine which part of the nervous system is not functioning properly.

In many fibromyalgia patients I may find a high mesencephalic output.

There are three parts to the brain stem: top, middle and lower. The mesencephalon is the top part of the brain stem. A high output of the mesencephalon will cause an increased pulse and heart rate, the inability to sleep, or a waking, fitful sleep. Other symptoms might include urinary tract infections, increased warmth and sweating, and sensitivity to light. Along with a high mesencephalic output, the fibromyalgia patient may present with a decreased output of the cerebellum. The cerebellum controls coordinated movement and all of the muscles of the spinal column.

No matter what the condition, it is imperative that the chiropractic neurologist performs a thorough and comprehensive exam to determine the exact

nature of the patient’s condition. Fibromyalgia patients, as with all chronic (symptoms longer than six months) type patients must be monitored closely, before and after treatments (blood pressure, pulse SpO2). If the patient is not monitored, it is possible to over-stimulate or exceed metabolic capacity. Since the upper part of the brain stem (mesencephalon) is firing at an abnormally high rate, We will want to utilize modalities that will lower the mesencephalic output.

• Consider using paper towels to clean up kitchen surfaces. If you use cloth towels, wash them often in the hot cycle of your washing machine.

• Wash fresh fruits and vegetables under cool, running, drinkable water, before eating them or cooking them.

• Use a vegetable scrub brush on produce that have a firm skin, such as carrots, potatoes, melons and squash.

• Cut and prepare raw meat, fish and poultry on a separate cutting board.

• Don’t re-use utensils until you’ve cleaned them thoroughly in the dishwasher or in warm, soapy water.

• Clean kitchen surfaces to eliminate bacteria and reduce your risk of food borne illness. For added protection, use a bleach solution to sanitize. (Mix 5 mL (1 tsp) of household bleach to 750 mL (3 cups) of water in a labeled spray bottle.)

• Always place cooked food on a clean plate. Do not use the same plates for raw and cooked meat, poultry, fish or seafood because cross-contamination can occur and this can cause food borne illness.

• Never leave raw meat, poultry, fish, seafood or leftovers out on the counter for longer than two hours.

• Food that has been defrosted in the microwave should be cooked immediately after thawing.

• Wash your reusable grocery bags frequently, especially if you are carrying raw meat, poultry, fish or seafood.

• Always cook raw meat, poultry and seafood to a safe internal temperature.

• Remove the food from the heat and insert the digital food thermometer through the thickest part of the meat, all the way to the middle. Thermometer must not be touching any bones.

• Avoid consuming raw or lightly cooked eggs or egg products including cookie dough or cake batter.

Refrigerator • Cover or wrap all leftovers.

• Always store eggs in their original carton.

• Store all cut fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator.

• Place meat, poultry, fish, pet food and seafood on the bottom shelf of refrigerator.

• Defrost raw meat, poultry, fish or seafood in the refrigerator, in a microwave or immersed in cold water. Don’t refreeze thawed food.

• Never eat hot dogs straight from the package. Hot dogs must be thoroughly cooked to a safe internal temperature.

• Don’t pack your refrigerator with food; cold air must circulate to keep food safe.

• Marinate meat in the refrigerator, not on the counter. Do not use leftover marinade from the raw food on the cooked food.

• Don’t use the same plate or utensils for raw and cooked meat, poultry, fish or seafood because cross-contamination can occur.

• At risk populations (older adults, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems) should avoid eating raw or lightly cooked eggs.

Eggs should be cooked until yolk is firm.

TIMELESS GIFT GOES FROM HAND TO HAND AT JOHNSON JEWELLERS Johnson Jewellers’ window resembles an ocean floor scattered with brightly coloured seashells, coral and starfish. Gleaming strands of silver, turquoise, and pink punctuate the display case on Kent Street in downtown Lindsay. “Jewellery is so personal,” owners John and Janet Gennaro say. Together the husband and wife duo possess more than 30 years experience helping customers choose the ring, necklace or watch perfect for themselves or a loved one. “It’s the sentimentality of jewellery that makes it a timeless gift. It’s something that’s meant to go from hand to hand.”

Featuring a wide array of product, John and Janet say the focus is on quality, knowledge and service at their store. “Our goldsmith has 25 years experience customizing, fitting and perfecting jewellery.” It’s

this kind of expertise, combined with a commitment to providing customers the best in service and selection that makes Johnson Jewellers a one-of-a-kind shopping destination in Lindsay. “We love the vibrancy and excitement of the downtown and we’re very proud to be here.”

Johnson Jewellers is located at 157 Kent St. West in Lindsay, 705-324-5251
