From my perch

I’m a thankful Canadian today. I’m thankful for the wonder and bounty of this land where we live and breathe and have our being. I’m especially thankful for this beautiful Kawartha region where I was born, and where I continue to hang my hat. I’m thankful, too, that we live in a country with peace, order and good government. Look around; so many troubles in other parts of the world— war, poverty, internal strife. We might not be here at all, though, if the First Peoples on the Atlantic coast hadn’t been willing to make “peace and friendship treaties” with my European ancestors when they reached Turtle Island half a millennium ago—and if the British (and later Canadian governments) hadn’t been able to make treaties with other First Nations. We are all treaty people. Canada

is a treaty nation. We exist because of treaties. Yet too often, we have not honoured those treaties. We seemed to see them as bargain-basement land grabs, while the First Nations saw them as ongoing agreements to share this land so we could prosper together in peace—each paddling our own canoe. We need to honour the letter and the original spirit of those treaties. We need see ourselves as friends and equals—nation to nation. We need to open our eyes and look around in Canada. There is still too much poverty and injustice in our own land too. What good does it do us to gain the world and lose our souls? Today is a day to give thanks for our land and country. It’s also a day to pledge ourselves to make this a better Canada. Happy Canada Day to all. editor@thepromoter.ca

Your facts are wrong

John, before you write your editorials (From my perch, June 17, page 3) do you research your facts to make sure that they are correct? First of all, the firearm used in the Orlando shooting was not an automatic rifle, machine gun or sub-machine gun. It was a semi-automatic Sig Sauer, a big difference. A semi-auto requires one trigger pull for each round to be fired, while fully automatic requires the trigger to be pulled and held only once for continuous fire. Fully automatic firearms are illegal in the United States, as they are here. I suggest that you not mislead the “uninitiated.” By the way, there is no such organization as the American Rifle Association, it is the National Rifle Association. Misinformation serves no one and makes one look like a fool. The media has consistently made misleading and incorrect statements regarding not only the firearms, but the easy availability of them to the general public. A common mistake is the description of the AR15. The AR stands for ArmaLite Rifle not

automatic rifle or assault rifle, the 15 means design 15. These are military-style not military-grade rifles. They are used for hunting, small and medium size game, varmints, target shooting and home defense. The FBI dismissed the shooter as a non-threat after several interviews. He bought the guns legally over several weeks. There were background checks for both purchases, no red flags. He had a history with law enforcement and was thought to be unstable by many. What happened in Orlando was a tragedy, but don’t just blame the guns. There are too many other contributing factors. Tougher gun laws alone are not the answer.

A plea for 2017 Canada Day volunteers

Canada Day 2016 is fast approaching. This is the 31st event that has been led by Marg McLean. Over the past 31 years, Marg has had many different committee members work hard, and hundreds of volunteers assist to make Bobcaygeon Canada Day known as the best in the Kawarthas. This year once again there is a great line-up of activities for the children, a parade, great music and spectacular fireworks. Although we have many great volunteers who have helped for many, many years on Canada Day—and still do—the actual Planning Committee has shrunk to four people. BOBCAYGEON

What many people likely don’t know is that the Canada Day Committee is also responsible for all the Canadian flags and banners that are proudly displayed throughout the village. Next year is the 150th birthday of Canada. Planning is already underway. Sadly, this may be the last year for Canada Day in the Village of Bobcaygeon. Unfortunately, several committee members have to step down. If village residents would like to see Canada Day celebrations in Bobcaygeon continue, please sign up and join the committee. Many hands make light work and this day attracts thousands of people to our wonderful town.

greater support for an initiative that so many of your fellow Canadians continue to get behind. Since your article first appeared, local people, relatives, friends, acquaintances, and complete strangers, have contacted me. Every one of these folks supported our national and local efforts to assist Syrian families in fleeing from their war torn land, and to bring them here. They all wanted me to know this. I was quite surprised actually by one individual whom I had mistakenly misjudged as a naysayer in this affair. I learned a lesson here. I should not have jumped to my own conclusion based on my own stereotyping and prejudice. In Canada, everyone is entitled to an opinion. We all have the right to disagree. I do not agree with you, Mr. Berta, but I thank you for initiating the discussion. Peter Howard Bobcaygeon

Thanks to the Bigley walkers

Yet another sincere appreciation to Sherry and John Peel of Bigley Shoes and Clothing for their ongoing support of the Kawartha North Family Health Team. Since 2012, Bigley’s Walk for the Cause has raised over $65,000 for Kawartha North Walk-In Clinics in Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls. This equates to nearly one full year of walkin-clinic access otherwise not available for our residents and visitors. Over 100 walkers participated in this year’s event, which raised $20,000. We want to thank those who volunteered, walked, canvassed and donated; we couldn’t do it without you.

‘Not really a newspaper?’ —A message from the publisher

Thank you to all who have spoken to us in defense of The Kawartha Promoter after one gentleman at the June 16 Bobcaygeon Town Hall said he didn‘t consider us a real newspaper. I really feel he was trying to say he considered us different from the other newspapers—and I take that as a compliment. The Kawartha Promoter is all about political and social commentary, business and the arts, and local events. We’re trying to be a news magazine in the tradition of Time Magazine—except our scope is just a little smaller. - Max Miller

July 1, 2016 - The Kawartha Promoter

A big thank you to students from Alexandra Public School, Bobcaygeon Public School, Lindsay Montessori, and Bobcaygeon Day Care for letters and posters in support of the Family Doctor Appreciation Week contest. All 100-plus entries were distributed to the City of Kawartha Lakes family doctors. The family doctors responded with joyous appreciation and thanks right back. Kudos to Tradewind Imports (Toys & Gifts) and 91.9 BOB-FM for their support of this seventh annual children’s contest. Anyone interested in participating next year is invited to contact Cindy Snider, Recruitment and Retention Coordinator at info@ kawarthalakesdoctors.org for further details. KLHCI is a non-profit, charitable organization with a mandate to recruit and retain family doctors for the City of Kawartha Lakes. Sheila-Mae Young MD President, KLHCI

You are very welcome

I wanted to let you know I saw your thank you for handing in your wallet and you are very welcome. I do agree that we are very fortunate to be living in the Kawartha Lakes region. I was going to contact you myself when I found your wallet but thought if it was me I would be in a panic and start retracing my steps. The funny part was when I handed the wallet to the woman on the courtesy desk at the grocery store, she just abruptly took it and put it under the desk without so much as a “Thank you we will try to contact the owner.” So it was so nice to see your thank you in The Promoter (I happen to love reading this publication). Again, you are very welcome—and the universe has rewarded me. Jane Fowler Fenelon Falls

City Hall CKL mayor’s thankless task By John Bird, editor

City of Kawartha Lakes Mayor Andy Letham took on a super-hero-sized—and thankless—task when he initiated the Core Service Review (CSR) shortly after taking office in 2015. Watching him in action June 21 at the Omemee town hall update on the CSR—and knowing this was just the third of 10 the mayor has scheduled (see Y’all come—To Mayor’s Town Halls, June 17, page 10)—one couldn’t help but admire his commitment, courage and patience in facing a hostile crowd alone, and doing it ten times over. These town hall meetings are state-of-the-union reports on the complicated CSR, and on the many decisions council must make in the next month or so to bring the review to fruition. Mayor Letham is pushing forward with what he believes must be done to save this cobbled-together city from itself. His message is straightforward. Ever since amalgamation, CKL has tottered along, refusing to deal with the inefficiencies and duplications created by a provincial decision to strong-arm together multiple municipalities. Meanwhile, the gap between income and expenditures has grown ever wider. Previous councils have let the city continue living beyond its means, eating into reserves until they’ve been whittled down to the point of no return. Now, he said, CKL has no choice. It must rightsize both the services it offers and the properties and buildings it holds, while also increasing taxes, until income and expenditures are back in balance and the city can move forward. It’s a case of three or four years of pain— something no politician wants to try to sell—for a brighter future in the long term. It’s about “building a sustainable, affordable community for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren,” the mayor told the meeting—“a better community, with better services that you can afford.” The Omemee crowd wasn’t buying it. They clearly don’t trust the mayor and council to work in their best interests. They are mad about this year’s 8.1 percent municipal tax increase, as they believe services decrease. And they feel desperate as they watch Omemee decline—and see no light at the end of the tunnel. One recommendation coming out of the CSR— still awaiting a council decision—is for the city to close the local arena/community centre.

Are you reading this?

Advertising in The Kawartha Promoter works!

Judging by the Omemee experience, the mayor’s town halls amount to a brutal marathon. Facing a full Coronation Hall filled with more than 100 people, and speaking without a microphone, Letham held the floor for two hours—including a solid half hour of fielding questions—and shouted objections and condemnations. One bright note came in an announcement from the floor that some citizens have formed a downtown improvement association—with which Letham immediately pledged to work. But on the down side, the spokesperson admitted the group has been having difficulty getting participation from local merchants.

Development Services needs an attitude adjustment

It’s a classic Catch-22. The City of Kawartha Lakes Development Services department is too understaffed to properly help the public with permits. Whether through overwork, or a general culture of bureaucratic caution, permit seekers to do anything from sever a lot, to build a garage or a house often experience staff as roadblocks rather than helpers. But the city can’t afford to hire more staff to shepherd development properly—and keeps losing staff because its wages aren’t competitive. So CKL is discouraging people from building projects, driving them into neighbouring municipalities to build, or encouraging them to “build at night” without permits. It’s missing out on heaps of permit and development-charges revenue (plus future taxation revenue), that would help pay for city services and reduce the tax burden. Additionally, “underground/illegal” projects may not be built to code, and may be dangerous. That was the gist of the concerns 50 or so participants raised when the city’s new Planning Approvals Task Force held an open house June 20 in Fenelon Falls. CKL’s Director of Development Services Chris Marshall, who facilitated the meeting, has only been in the position since January. He said the mandate of the new task force is to look at development

processes, and recommend ways to simplify the system and improve co-ordination, between departments and with outside agencies. Among other comments: • Staff have told citizens to hire a consultant to help them get their permits, as “we don’t have time to hold your hand.” • There is no clarity. Rules seem to change midstream, especially when new staff interpret rules more stringently. • Permits are denied with no explanation of what would help them be approved. • Different departments seem to work at cross purposes. • It can take six months to process a severance on a simple lot in the village, where services already exist. Marshall also asked for—and received— suggestions to improve the system: • Adopt a triage approach, allowing simple applications to be processed quickly. • Help staff to be more service-oriented. • Streamline policies and write them in plain English, intelligible to the average individual. Kawartha Conservation CAO Rob Messervey also participated in the meeting, and admitted his organization—which is involved in permitting on environmental issues—faces similar staffing stresses and complaints.

‘Relevant’ appellants want in on quarry talks By Glenna Burns

The proposed Dewdney Mountain Farms megaquarry development loomed large on Trent Lakes council again June 21. The appellant group that has been fighting the quarry development adjacent to Nogies Creek

brought an eight-paragraph letter to council expressing concerns over the apparent secrecy of discussing quarry issues in closed council sessions. Trent Lakes council had recently held a closed session to discuss particulars around a proposed haul-route agreement regarding the Dewdney Mountain Farm Ltd. quarry. The appellants pointed out that the Ontario Municipal Board has ruled they are a “relevant” party to any signing of a haul-route agreement regarding the quarry. “We are dealing with issues from the old council,” said Trent lakes Mayor Bev Matthews at the June 21 council meeting. “Actions taken are based on decisions from that previous council.” According to the mayor, the old council used closed sessions to bring issues forward that should not have been spoken about. “Now,” said Matthews, “we are more transparent. The new council is more anti-quarry but we always have to look at everything to be fair to both sides.” Municipal CAO Lois O’Neill-Jackson added that “all negotiations are in closed session to avoid misinterpretation.” The question remains: as a relevant party what are the appellants entitled to know about council activities and discussions regarding the Dewdney Mountain quarry? The mayor asked whether there was any way “we can inform the appellants about what is going on?” The quarry issue is still in the courts and will go to Divisional Court in the future. Councillor Terry Lambshead stated his position on the issue clearly when he told the appellants, “You are not irrelevant.”

KC board permits

approves

Sumac

Ridge

Ward 16 Councillor Heather Stauble charged that there’s “no protection against renewable energy projects on the Oak Ridges Moraine,” after the Kawartha Conservation (KC) board approved permit applications June 22 for the Sumac Ridge Wind Development project. The health and integrity of the moraine, is at risk because local approval agencies, like KC can’t “fully apply their regulatory oversight to applications for renewable energy infrastructure projects,” she said. “It’s a huge concern when there is such a lack of consistency in provincial level legislation.” Stauble, who chairs the KC board, has been a strong voice against wind-farm projects on the moraine. She says there is a disconnect between Ontario’s Green Energy and Green Economy Act and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. She said the moraine performs many vital functions in protection of water quality and quantity, natural heritage, and the capture and sequestering of greenhouse gases and carbon. The province is currently re-assessing the moraine plan as part of a co-ordinated land use planning review. Stauble removed herself from the KC board’s discussion of the Sumac Ridge application to ensure there could be no grounds for Apprehension of Bias, but spoke out strongly afterwards. Portions of the Sumac Ridge Wind Park development in the former Township of Manvers lie within Kawartha Conservation regulated areas under its 2006 regulation on “Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses.” They include construction of one wind turbine, associated construction, lay-down areas, access roads, the installation of electrical and fiber-optic lines, horizontal drilling beneath a watercourse, and seven new culverts on three private and three public properties. The WPD wind company submitted “complete” permit applications for the work to KC in 2015, which came before the board June 22. Ontario’s 2009 Green Energy and Green Economy Act stops the conservation authority from challenging the project under the Conservation of Land provision of their regulation and limits their ability to challenge

developments like this on the Oak Ridges Moraine, which is supposed to be environmentally protected. The board felt it had no option other than to approve the permit applications, which it did “with great reluctance,” said a statement from the authority. The Ontario Court of Appeal had earlier dismissed an appeal from the City of Kawartha Lakes regarding the project and Wild Turkey Road. The board did include in its approval a number of permit conditions to ensure the Sumac Ridge Wind Park satisfies KC’s “policy requirements/conditions for construction within a watercourse and a watercourse valley.” Appropriate sediment and erosion controls will be required and installed, in order to ensure no substantial increases in erosion result from the work. Additional measures such as drilling mud containment, appropriate drainage infrastructure, and revegetation of the project area are also required.   For questions or comments, contact KC’s CAO Rob Messervey at 705-328-2271 ext. 214, or RMesservey@KawarthaConservation.com.

We’ve got a forest fire By Glenna Burns

It’s fire season in Ontario and Trent Lakes Fire Rescue has been busy fighting a forest fire just off the Fire Access Road in the former Cavendish municipality. A commercial plane spotted the fire on Saturday, June 18, around 3 pm and reported it to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests. Trent Lakes is one of the most southern zones in Ontario where daytime fires are banned by the MNRF so forest fires can be identified quickly. Trent Lakes fire chief Don Mitchell said in a phone interview that the cause of the 17-acre forest fire was “likely human error.” The cause is still being investigated. Twenty-five firefighters from Trent Lakes, seven MNRF crew, water bombers and 5,000 feet of hose were all part of the effort to get this blaze under control. Mitchell said the fire was finally deemed over and done with on the evening of Wednesday, June 22, after crews had searched for remaining hot spots in the forest.

Get your shoulders paved here By Glenna Burns

All roadway construction projects will have paved shoulders for biking and walking, according to proposals in Peterborough County’s new Active Transportation Master Plan. The county is beginning the public-input process on its active transportation plan with its first Public Information Centre, to be held Saturday, July 16, at the Peterborough Pulse event. The active transportation initiative’s aim is to get people out of their cars by creating transportation links that promote a healthy lifestyle. The county will improve trails and links to parks and other facilities, and expand development of strategic sidewalks. The county hopes to not only get people moving to promote better health, but to stimulate growth in cycling and ecotourism. And in case you were wondering, Peterborough Pulse will be a “vibrant, playful, and active car-free corridor through the heart of Peterborough (George Street) for one summer morning,” July 16.

Choristers Corner— Summer break

By April Scott

The choristers are winding down for a summer break after they present three mini concerts for the residents, staff and visitors at Case Manor, Pinecrest Nursing Home, and Kawartha Lakes Retirement Suites. All will be in for a musical treat and will have the opportunity to join in sing-alongs during the performances. Each concert will take place on one of the last three Tuesdays in June, which coincide with our practice nights. After a summer break—and the annual summer party—we’ll return to practice in September to refresh and polish the music for our major concert in October. Choristers Corner will also take a break. Enjoy the summer and check out our Facebook page for other news. Many of us will be out to the Music in The Park concerts on Thursday evenings. If you’ve never attended one why not give it a try.

Music to blow you away

Bobcaygeon Music Council is promising that its 2016 series of summer Concerts in the Park at Lock 32 in Bobcaygeon “will blow you away”—and that looks like it could be a fair claim. The council’s series was certainly a big success last year, with record attendance. This year’s hot lineup includes performers like the Sultans of String, Qristina and Quinn Bachand, and the Leahy Cousins, an offshoot of the internationally known family dynasty of Celtic musicians from Lakefield. Heavy on the fiddles, which only seems appropriate for Bobcaygeon. The series kicks off on Canada Day (July 1, in case you’re from another planet) with a performance by the Voices of Showtime from 7-9 pm. The rest of the concerts will run on Thursday evenings

throughout the summer, with a children’s concert at 5:30 pm, followed by an adult concert at 6:30.

Church Doings

• “Swing and Sway Under the Trees” to live music by Bill Gordon on Saturday, July 2, at Christ Church, Bobcaygeon’s Strawberry Social. It all happens at the church, 44 Sherwood St., from 1:30-3:30 pm. Cost is $8 for adults and $4 for children 12 and under. • Wesley United Church’s Strawberry and Ham Supper is back by popular demand on Saturday, July 9, at the Church Hall on the corner of Buckhorn Road and Curve Lake Road, 2 kms south of Buckhorn. Tickets are $15 for adults ($8 for children 5-12), with sittings at 5 and 6:30 pm. But you need to buy them before July 4. Call Janet at 705-657-1758, or Leslie at 705-657-2525. And there’s strawberry cake with whipped cream for dessert. • Jill Barrette and her gluten-free, dairy-free, sweet potato, carrot, apple, red lentil soup took first prize at Omemee Baptist Church’s first Soup Cook-Off. Thanks to all the soup makers. The attendees had so many kinds to choose from—and they were all great.

Oh Canada! How blessed we truly are -GUEST EDITORIAL-

By Peter Howard, Bobcaygeon

As we approach July 1 and Canada Day celebrations, I am struck by the number of Canadian flags that have appeared once again in our village. This is encouraging as things weren’t always this way. I can remember traveling to the New England states and remarking to friends about the ubiquitous presence of Old Glory—the American Stars-and-Stripes flag. There it was, proudly flying from government facilities, schools, institutions, service clubs, corporate buildings and private homes. During these visits, I often wondered why we Canadians never seemed to display our own flag to the same degree that our neighbors to the south did theirs. I began to fly our own flag here at my home. Since then, more and more Canadian flags have made their appearance. Obviously, something has happened, but what? Recently, I started to think about this.

Could it be that we Canadians have finally realized just how marvelous this country of ours is? Maybe we have grown more confident as a nation. Rather than defining our national identity by indicating, to ourselves and the world, what we are not (American), we have learned how to be Canadian. Perhaps our awkward adolescent years are behind us and we have finally grown up. Whatever the rationale, I am delighted by this flag-touting development. Just think about our flag for a moment. It was born out of compromise and frustration almost 52 years ago. Its adoption was both a necessity and a political nightmare. It was the point in our history where we became, neither British nor French, but Canadian. Our flag reflects this. It’s interesting to note here, that other than the maple leaf, which has been a long-time symbol of our nation, there has been no real attempt to explain the symbolism behind the flag. It could be that this is a good thing for it allows each of us an opportunity to develop our own. Here is mine: • The single maple leaf, our traditional symbol, is prominently featured in the central position; it emphasizes our strength in unity.

• There are 11 points on the maple leaf and one stem for a total of 12 identifiable marks Together they stand for the 10 provinces and two territories that defined the political divisions of the nation during my formative years. • The snow white background signifies the north land, “strong and free”. It also represents our third territory, Nunavut, which came into being in 1999. • Of course, white has always represented peace, an ideal that we Canadians hold dear. • The red however, is the colour of passion. It reminds us that there have been times in our nation’s history when preserving the peace came at a price. We Canadians have established an ongoing military presence of which we can be justly proud. So many Canadians have served, and continue to serve. Many sacrificed their lives to keep our nation and it’s allies free. It is fitting that poppy red is so prominent on our national flag. • “From sea to sea” is Canada’s motto. The two red fields on either side of the maple leaf remind me of this—the Atlantic and Pacific. Perhaps our third sea, the Arctic is recognized in part by the white field of which I spoke earlier. That my friends, is my flag . . . my Canada. When we stand for the national anthem and watch our flag unfurl in the breeze may it serve to remind us all how blessed we truly are.

Globus: A labour of theatrical love

You know it’s a labour of love when the principal movers and shakers are willing to live in the barn just to keep the operation healthy. That’s the way it is for Sarah Quick and James Barrett, the founders of Kawartha Lakes’ Globus Theatre. Sarah’s the artistic director of the operation and James is artistic producer. They’re also a couple in the romantic sense— and house themselves and Globus in the Lakeview Arts Barn, which also operates as a dance-andbanquet hall (for weddings, etc.). They call it LAB for short—the laboratory where “things are created, discoveries made, experiments encouraged.” The barn has been upgraded this year, thanks to a $36,295 provincial grant to help pay for accessible washrooms as well as to support the theatrical productions—the couple’s first love, and what brought them together. Speaking of which, Globus is about to launch its 2016 season, with what Quick enthusiastically describes as “a good mix of exciting, thoughtprovoking, entertaining theatre.” • “Buying the Moose” is the first production—a “hilarious comedy of male bonding, female camaraderie and hidden surprises” that includes an inflatable friend (June 29 to July 9). • “Sweet Dreams” is up next, a tribute to countrymusic legend Patsy Cline starring Leisa Way and the

Wayward Wind Band (July 12-23). • “Knickers,” a “brief comedy” penned by Quick herself, is number three on the summer hit parade. It’s about folks in a small Canadian town who employ knickers to revive their moribund local economy (July 27 to Aug. 6). • “Stones in his Pockets” is offering number four, an entertaining and multi-award-winning Irish play that follows Charlie and Jake as they become extras in a Hollywood blockbuster movie being filmed in rural County Kerry. Barrett has already directed this production with great success in Toronto (Aug. 1020). • “Funny Farmers” (Aug. 24 to Sept. 3), looks at the unlikely friendship that forms between local boy Gary, as he loses the family farm, and city-slicker Jerry who buys it but finds he desperately needs Gary’s help to run things. There’s also a series of one nighters still to come: Girls Nite Out all-female comedy (July 18), Constellations comedy and music (Aug. 15), and The Maple Beats celebration of the Beatles (Aug. 29). And don’t forget the Saturday morning children’s programs at 11 am: The Dog Pound improv (July 9), Beauty and the Beast (Aug. 6), and Phil the Magic Guy (Aug. 27). A recent grant through CIBC’s Community Matters program, has allowed Globus to drastically cut ticket prices on these shows, from $12 to a bargain $5. “We’re getting Bobcaygeon summer theatre onto the map,” says Quick. “People are coming here from around the province,” on bus tours and in their own informal CAT (Camping And Theatre) tours. We think you won’t want to miss it either.

Roots & Ramblings Our featured gardens

Bobcaygeon & District Horticultural Society

By Sylvia Green, BDHS vice president and Master Gardener

With many BDHS members welcoming you at each of this year’s eight special gardens on our tour, Saturday, July 9, you’ll have a chance to see many examples of floral finery: • A turn-of-the-century dairy farm features well laid out flower beds with neat shrubs, a variety of vigorous trees and some whimsical touches like a Tonka-Toy display. • Follow the map (comes with your tickets, available at several local locations) to a small, detailed “urban” garden. Mosses and ground covers sprawl throughout, while every corner is filled with wellmatched flora and rustic art touches, leaving room for vegetables.

• A large property north of town has many unusual trees and beautifully maintained shrubs. This garden boasts arches, gazebo, a quaint shed with bee display, and a delightful container garden combined with superb dahlias. Wooden folk art’s a bonus. • An unusual Port 32 roadside patch offers various hardy plants dancing gaily up and down the slope beside the house. The front yard showcases a lovely corkscrew hazel, pendula pine, and awardwinning roses. • South of town you will find a country acre—winner of the 2014 Award of Excellence—with a rock garden filled with succulents, plus perennials, a pond and fruit trees nearby. • A colourful corner lot in Victoria Place, tended by an active centenarian, contains formal beds with large urns, grasses, and baskets interspersed with perennials. • The neighbour’s veggie patch features non-GMO and heritage plants. • Don’t forget to stroll through Kawartha Settlers’ Village for a cup of tea, treats and to view the wares of several unique vendors. Join us on a lovely summer day exploring a few of Bobcaygeon’s many charming gardens.

Horoscopes

July 1 to July 14 Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Aquarius is the water carrier. Much like the Indigenous Water Walkers who deem water sacred, you also have a connection to the waters of the world, and bear some responsibility for it. So take good care of it for us, please and thank you. Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Canada Day has once again arrived. It’s time to be thankful for this country, and its freedoms, Pisces. And to drive home the point, why not do some volunteer work to help others appreciate it as well? You’ll enjoy it. Aries (March 21 to April 20) Be kind, dear Aries, to everyone you meet, because you do not know what hard battles each person faces. Then again, why not also be kind for sake of being kind? It’s good for the soul. Taurus (April 21 to May 21) “Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you never know who would love the person you hide”—C. S. Lewis. We think this is wonderful advice. Why change yourself to please someone else? Someone who isn’t even worth it. Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Do you need a REASON to be happy, Gemini? No. Act happy, feel happy, be happy. When you get up in the morning, realize what a precious gift it is to be alive. It really takes very little to be happy. Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Success does not come without hard work, Cancer. Yes, some people win lotteries—but most of us don’t. So keep following the path you know, the one that tells you to put one foot after the other, and keep moving forward toward your goal.

32 July 1, 2016 - The Kawartha Promoter

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Bide your time, Leo, because everything will fall into place sooner rather than later. Do not give up on your abilities, your strengths, or your kind nature. They will guide you onward and upward. Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) As a Virgo, you appreciate open communication with your romantic partner, usually on both an intellectual and spiritual level. But try not to expect too much, and watch your tendency to over-criticize. You don’t want to lose them over minor details. Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) You do not have to “measure up” to anyone else, Libra. You do not have to be “best” at everything you do. You only have to try your best—give it everything you’ve got. That’s what’s important. Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Watch for a special email coming your way. Be sure to open it. Be sure to read it fully. No, you’re not going to become a millionaire, but you will be pleasantly surprised by its contents, nonetheless. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) A gentleness of spirit is always welcome. Try not to let your own worries affect how you approach others. They are not to blame. You are a kind person with strong values, so let everyone know it. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan 20) Dear Capricorn. There will always be ups and downs, highs and lows, rough patches and smooth sailing. Know that you can handle everything. Just think of what you have already been through—and here you are.

Taking it all in

Diners at Canada’s Fresh Water Summit in Coboconk enjoy the sights and sounds. Coby is situated on the Trent-Severn’s Balsam Lake, officially recognized as the highest body of fresh water in Canada from which one can circumnavigate the world by boat. You can go anywhere, or just sit dockside and take it all in, like these diners.

Got up and stood up— on an SUP

Canada’s Fresh Water Summit Festival in Coboconk two weekends ago was another success. Anyone who wanted to try out a Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) or kayak had a chance to do both? AO Boatwerks, from faraway Minden, visited Coby with some of their gear for this year’s Festival, and encouraged all to join in on the fun and give their boats a try.

Health & Wellness Support APCH while antique hunting

If quality items of a certain age are your thing, you won’t want to miss A Place Called Home’s 46th annual Antique Show and Sale, July 8-9 in downtown Lindsay’s Victoria Park Armoury. Back for its second anniversary in the Armoury after a sojourn at the fair grounds, the show this year starts Friday with a preview evening from 5-8 pm, then runs all day Saturday, from 10 am to 5 pm. A $4 admission fee gets you in for both days. Thirty-one antique dealers from all across Ontario—as far away as Windsor and North Bay—will have their best wares on display and for sale. And don’t forget The Victorian Tea Room, for “a cuppa the restorative beverage,” plus all the cakes and dainties that go along with that. For the fourth year in a row, the Santa Claus Stocking Fund will be running the tea room. “We started work on putting this show together back in January,” says long-time organizer Zita Devon. This year, 57 volunteers are contributing to making the show a success. “It’s always a warm fuzzy,” she adds, “when you ask someone and they say, ‘Yes, I’ll help’.”

The Antique Show and Sale is a lot of fun, and a great opportunity to discover and pick up some wonderful antique bargains. But even more important, it’s a great way to support A Place Called Home, a 19-bed shelter for homeless men, women, youth and parents with children from across the City of Kawartha Lakes. APCH offers “a safe place to return to at the end of the day,” says Devon. She notes that recent trends show an increase in seniors needing the shelter, as well as people living with high-risk mental health issues.

The skinny on fat; part 1

By Benjamin Stone

Let’s take a journey down the rabbit hole on the truths versus myths of fat in the first of this multi-part series, The Skinny on Fat. It seems counter-intuitive and maybe just plain wrong to eat fat to lose fat. Our beliefs have been built around “science” and “expert opinion” that fat leads to weight gain, cholesterol issues, and a host of other health maladies, including heart disease. Granted, “bad” fats are not good for us. But there has been a lot of mythmaking related to fat that needs to be debunked. Whole industries in our society have a vested interest in perpetuating those myths. Are you sick and tired of being sick and

tired? Maybe it’s time to begin to question “the way things have always been” to see what we can discern? The truth is that eating good quality fats really can jump-start weight loss. Studies have shown good fats can: help initiate and sustain fast weight loss; fight cancer; help deal with degenerative brain disorders like Alzheimer’s disease; help balance hormones; insulate vital organs; optimize brain health; increase nutrient absorption from food; lower blood pressure; and work against oxidation and aging in the body’s cells. Good fats help nourish our bodies, boost energy levels, and heal on a cellular level. In the following series, we will discuss the different fats: The do-not-eat fats and the good fats, the ketogenic diet (ketosis), BulletProof Diet and BulletProof Coffee with its usage of MCT Oils, like Brain Octane. We will also dive in and understand where some of these myths came from about healthy fats in your diet. To help you prepare today for our series ahead, here are a list of the (do not eat) BAD FATS and the (please eat) GOOD FATS •B ad fats: margarine; canola oil; vegetable oils like corn and soybean; shortening; partially hydrogenated lard. •G ood fats: coconut oil; butter from grassfed cows; avocado oil; eggs (with yolk) from pasture-raised chickens; nut and seed oils like

almond or pumpkin (look for organic, coldpress or zero-press technology, which is the best if available); olive oil (raw, organic); hemp-seed oil; MCT Oil (especially Brain Octane) Start now by replacing your fats/oils and see if you start to feel a difference. High-temperature cooking oils from the “Good Fats” section are: avocado oil and coconut oil, first and foremost. In our next article we will further examine the bad fats (do not eat) and the good fats (eat these).

Swinging for a good cause

Greg Welton shows his golfing form outside Ross Memorial Hospital as Les Fowler and Erin Coons look on. Greg and Les visited the hospital recently to present a cheque for $2,385 to Erin Coons, RMH Foundation executive director—proceeds from their 2016 John Lindsay Memorial Golf Tournament. The two launched the tourney in 2003, in memory of John Lindsay, who combined golf, good friends and good causes. Since then it has raised $28,556 for patient care at Ross. This year’s donation will support purchase of life-saving defibrillators for RMH patients through the “Moments that Matter” spring appeal.

Here comes the bluegreen algae

Blue-green algae are a type of cyanobacteria known for rapidly reproducing and collecting to form large, highly visible blooms throughout the water column, on the surface of water as a scum, or on the lake bottom as a mat. They’re not only unsightly and smelly, but some can release toxins when the cells that make up the bloom rupture or die. Peterborough Public Health asks local residents to report blue-green algae blooms on area lakes, and to protect themselves by not swimming in or consuming water around such blooms. The good news is that no reports of blue-green algae blooms have been received this season. “Just as we all learned how to avoid poison ivy and sunburns, it’s important to know how to protect ourselves from blue-green algae so everyone can still safely enjoy the outdoors,” said Atul Jain, Manager of Environmental Health Programs at PPH.

WELLNESS THROUGH REIKI Reiki Master Carol Wells-Gordon is available for classes and/or personal treatments in Bobcaygeon. Carol’s practice follows the Usui Shiki Ryoho system of natural healing. Please call Carol at 705-731-0455 for more information or to book an appointment.

The risk to humans is primarily from drinking water that has been contaminated with toxins from a dense algae bloom—which can cause headaches, fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or diarrhea. Some people are sensitive to blue-green algae, and can develop a mild skin rash or eye irritation even if the bloom has produced no toxin. Others will not react. Long-term consumption of water with high toxin levels can cause neurological or liver problems. Farm animals and pets may consume large quantities of heavily contaminated water, resulting in sickness or death. No human deaths have been attributed to drinking contaminated water. For more information on blue-green algae, and precautions, go to www.peterboroughpublichealth. ca and click on “My Home & Environment” to visit the webpage dedicated to blue-green algae. To report a blue-green algae bloom, contact the Ministry of the Environment at 1-800-268-6060.

Slow down for snails to avoid itch

You know that itchy rash you sometimes get after swimming in a lake or river? Well, it’s caused by tiny larvae that live in shallow waters with lots of snails or birds. When you come out of the lake after a swim, the larvae can be present on your wet skin. As the water evaporates, the little creatures try to burrow into your skin, creating an itchy rash, which can develop into small reddish pimples or blisters. The itchiness may last more than a week. Not a pretty thought, is it? And guess what? Don’t scratch, or secondary infections might develop. The good news is that Swimmer’s Itch is not contagious, and the larvae cannot live in your skin. To reduce the likelihood of developing Swimmer’s Itch, Peterborough Public Health suggests that local residents, cottagers and visitors avoid swimming in areas with lots of snails and/or waterfowl to prevent exposure to the larvae that cause “Swimmer’s Itch.” Here are some suggestions: • Don’t swim or wade in shallow areas where snails are commonly found

• Don’t attract water birds by feeding them near swimming areas • Don’t swim in areas where Swimmer’s Itch is a known problem • Towel off thoroughly right after swimming A number of factors have to be in play before Swimmer’s Itch becomes a problem in water. These factors can change daily, so the larvae responsible for Swimmer’s Itch will not always be present. You jump in the water and you take your chances. For more information, visit www. peterboroughpublichealth.ca.”

HEARING AIDS FOR ACTIVE TYPES

If you swim, play tennis, or participate in other outdoor activities, you will want a hearing instrument that can keep up with your active lifestyle. To meet this challenge, there is a hearing instrument with a robust design that is waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof. This exceptionally sturdy instrument has a completely sealed housing and battery door that lock out moisture and safeguard against corrosion. The microphone is covered with a membrane that protects against dust and moisture and reduces wind noise. This means that wearers can enjoy hearing with exceptional clarity and comfort while building sand castles at the beach and swimming in the surf. This active-lifestyle hearing instrument is also great for active children and teens. If you are adjusting to a hearing loss and don’t want to give up your passion for being healthy and active, you have several options for comfort and protection no matter the activity. New technologies make it possible for even the most active individuals to enjoy the benefits of hearing aids. To schedule a consultation, please call us. P.S. Many hearing instruments have wireless capability that enables them to connect with cell phones, and other devices.

“Whether they have sex with men or women, men often find it difficult to talk to their healthcare provider about sexual health and sexually transmitted infections,” says Shawn Woods, manager of the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit’s Sexual Health program. That’s why the unit is launching “Men’s Only” sexual-health clinics in Lindsay and Port Hope—to offer men “a free and confidential opportunity to talk to a public-health nurse about their sexual health, ask any questions they may have, and get tested and treated for sexually transmitted infections.” The Lindsay clinics will run the second Thursday of each month, from 5-7 pm, at the HKPR District Health Unit, 108 Angeline Street South. Call 705324-3569, ext. 2205, to book an appointment. They also welcome walk-ins.

Hometown pride in Lindsay

Peterborough-based singer-songwriter Evangeline Gentle will be the musical guest when Kawartha Lakes Pride holds its second annual Pride Picnic to celebrate the LGBTQ community and its allies. The event runs from 11 am to 2 pm on July 9 in Lindsay’s Victoria Park, with lots of food, games, face painting, balloon animals, vendors and information booths from local service providers. Kawartha Lakes Pride’s inaugural event last year was a huge success, with over 350 attendees, says co-organizer Carrie Pearson. “It was an amazing day where the City of Kawartha Lakes was able to show how inclusive and welcoming it is to the LGBTQ members of our community and beyond.” She hopes for another success this year.

John Saxby’s, Raven Mad Crow Society, July 30 • Jazz, swing and pop with Eileen and Robert Blake, Aug. 6 • Local traditional music and history with Al Kirby (banjo) and John Bird (ukes), Aug. 20 • Classic rock with The Down and Dirty Band, Aug. 27 Gamiing is located at 1884 Pigeon Lake Rd. (CKL Rd. 17), 12 km south of Bobcaygeon and 19 km east of Lindsay.

Classics on Kent’s a classic

This year will mark the 12th anniversary of Classics on Kent. Lindsay’s show of classic cars that will line its downtown street for several blocks on Sunday, July 10, is now a classic in its own right―with a history and reputation to match. The whole of downtown Kent street will be turned into a pedestrian mall for this classic event So if you like classic cars, lovingly restored by folks just like you in their backyards and garages . . . and if you like to get up close and personal with hundreds of them, of all makes, shapes and vintages . . . then Classics on Kent’s the place for you.

Gamiing Nature Centre launched the second year of its “Sounds Under the Stars” summer music series on June 18 with Middle-Eastern music by Yousef Al Awad and Mustafa Elidrissi on flute and sitar. It was the first of eight Saturday-evening concerts to be held in The Hayloft, a converted barn that two years ago was still being used to store hay—until Gamiing transformed it into a charming venue for events and music. All concerts in the “Sounds Under the Stars” series begin at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $10 a person at the door, and a cash bar will be available featuring local comestibles.

Minaajim: Good Stories from Curve Lake First Nation

Thanks be to plants and smaller animals

As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka

In the last story, I spoke about what we ate from the land. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge some of the smaller animals that really sustained us when the government was starving us after the 1923 Williams Treaties. The government banned us from hunting big game or fishing in the wintertime. We always got our food from the land. Suddenly we were not allowed to procure this food and many of us went hungry. We had to sustain ourselves with other animals. I would like to thank AMIK (the beaver), WAZHASHK (the muskrat), KAAGJIISH (the groundhog), and GAAG (the porcupine) for helping my people survive back then. Some people would consider these animals inedible, but they were part of our food sources during these tough times. They kept us alive. MIIGWECH (thank you). But today I’m going to talk about plants we used as food sources. We all know about the more prominent ones like MANOOMIN (wild rice), but there are many other less-known plants that were often used when in season. They were there to help us and at the right times when it was hard to get a variety of food. In April to May we started with NISHNAABE

James A. Goodliff Painting the Canadian Landscape

ONGUSH (wild leeks) and MZISE-MIIJIM ENHS (fiddleheads). We would go pick them in the hardwood bush, and enjoyed them in a variety of ways. We put them in soups and stews, and often in omelettes. There’s nothing better than a duck-egg omelette with leeks and fiddleheads. Mmm-mm. We used to trade fiddleheads with settlers and farmers for other types of foods. We gathered BAGWAJI-ZHIGAAGAWINZH (wild onion) on occasion. It was tedious to dig and it was very small, but we used it. We spent a lot of time on the shorelines of what is now known as the Trent-Severn Waterway. We ate a lot of water plants like the tuber of the MOOSO MIIJIM (arrowhead plant) which gave us a small potato-like starch, dug out of the muck. We would harvest the new young shoots of PAKWESHK (the cattail plant). They were the tastiest; or sometimes we’d harvest the older plant. You had to cut them at their base in the cold water—it wasn’t easy. For the older shoots you would have to peel away the outer layers to get at the inner shoots. But in the spring you could just eat the new shoots. We would eat it like a boiled vegetable, or dry it and pound it down to a flour-like substance, and make a tortilla-like flat bread. It was always a nice treat. Another popular edible plant was WAAWAASGONE-MIIN (the Mayapple). This plant comes out in later June-July. You’ll first notice it in May when it appears at the bottom of hardwoods like a little umbrella. It’s succulent fruit is like a cross between a kiwi and a mango. There is a sweet liquid in there that is an enjoyable taste you’ll never forget. If you pick enough of them you can make preserves or pies. Today, we are losing that connection to our wild plant foods and in the process losing our connection to the earth. Anishinaabe people love to forage in the bush. It’s an amazing activity. It lowers stress levels, it allows us to enjoy the natural world, and it also allows us the opportunity to give thanks to the spirits of the plants for giving up their lives so we can have life. When we no longer use or give thanks to the plants, they feel they are no longer needed and they go elsewhere . . . but that is another story.

Oshkigmong: ‘A place where I belong’

By Glenna Burns

Every community has a history and stories to tell. The story of the Michi Saagiig (Mississaugas) of Curve Lake First Nation has been compellingly told in a beautiful film produced by the community itself. The Mud Lake settlement became a reserve in June of 1898 with about 200 members. By 1964, it had grown to over 2,000, with over 900 people living in the now-named Curve Lake First Nation. The story of the Michi Saagiig ancestors goes back so far that only legends can capture their response to the Ice Age of 10,000 years ago—travel south to keep warm. When the people returned to the region as salmon fishers, controlling all the north shore of Lake Ontario, they prospered. Around the middle of the 18th century (1700s) events in Europe and beyond began to infringe on their lives. The American War of Independence forced the resettlement of British Empire Loyalists into northern regions and First Nation lands. The history of treaties between the Crown and the Michi Saagiig people was (and is) a confused and convoluted one. The film helps sort out what actually happened—and where the process is today. The film highlights Curve Lake First Nation personalities, who tell stories of lumbering, war, hunting and guiding, wild rice, the Pow Wow, industry, the Petroglyphs and Jacobs Island. Oshkigmong is beautifully filmed and artfully edited. A public viewing of this film will be presented by the Bobcaygeon Truth and Reconciliation chapter at 7 pm on Tuesday, July 5, in the barn at Settlers’ Village, Bobcaygeon. A Talking Circle will follow, facilitated by Curve Lake First Nation’s Cultural Archivist Anne Taylor.

The turtles are out there

Adri Eastman found—and photographed—not one but two Blandings turtles on June 17 and 20 near her home on Ledge Road in Trent Lakes near the proposed haul route site for the proposed Dewdney Mountain Farms Quarry. Have you spotted something like this “at risk” Blandings turtle, or perhaps heard a rare bird or come across an unusual plant? If so you can report your findings to the Natural Heritage Information Centre at the MNRF. To report, go to www.ontario.ca/page/reportrare-species-animals-and-plants#section-3. And in related news, Peterborough County OPP report that a 44-year-old woman was struck by a passing vehicle south of Peterborough recently when she got out of her vehicle to help a turtle crossing the road. Her injuries were serious, but at press time she was reported in stable condition. While we applaud her motivation, we urge caution to all—turtles included.
