FROM MY PERCH

I felt a little shiver the other day when I heard a report that Ontario was moving to eliminate use of natural gas.

That’s what we use to heat our home, and I’ve been under the impression it’s more affordable, efficient and even environmentally friendly than oil or electricity.

Of course, that depends on whether the electricity comes from coal- or oil-fired generating stations, from nuclear-powered plants—or from hydro, wind or solar. Discussions about which of those options is the most (or least) environmentally friendly can generate enough heat to warm us all winter.

The news set the fabled Twitterverse a-flutter—and Facebook too. Maybe that’s where I first heard the report. With news these days, it’s often first come, first served.

Everybody was up on their hind legs for a day or two, crying for blood

about our idiotic government. And it did seem so idiotic that I tended to discount it. Let’s await further developments.

Then an Ontario goverment media release appeared. They want to replace some of the natural gas we use with “renewable” natural gas. I quote: “Ontario will encourage the use of cleaner, renewable natural gas in industrial, transportation and building sectors”—the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions.

That would be methane, a gas created by one form or another of biodigestion in landfills, municipal green-bin collection, livestock manure, agricultural, food and forestry waste, and sewage treatment.

I’ve been accused of releasing quite a bit of it personally.

Methane can be recovered, cleaned and directly substituted for conventional natural gas, using the same infrastructure. Nor does it add new carbon to the atmosphere.

Okay, that’s better. editor@thepromoter.ca

Island donor’s perspective

I am writing to clarify my donation of much of Big Island and surrounding small islands.

I bought the property in March 2011 as an investment. Shortly after buying it I received a letter from Kawartha Land Trust and had a chance meeting with the executive director. The last developer spent millions on a plan on getting approvals for 95 lots.

Kawartha Land Trust continued to be in touch from 2011. Initially, I was going to give half the island to Kawartha Land Trust and keep the other half for my family. In August 2015 I got approval to develop 10 large residential lots of about 12 acres each with large shore frontage—and one large interior lot that included the rest of the shoreline.

I am pleased that in the end, I decided to donate all the land except two small lots on the main island and one of the small islands. I have also provided a first right of refusal to Kawartha Land Trust should I decide to sell my retained parcels outside my immediate family.

I donated this land because like many of you, I have come to appreciate how special and significant

it is. Kawartha Land Trust has gained my respect. In all my experience, I have rarely seen an organization that has been so open, effective and responsible.

I learned this first hand when their board informed me that they could not receive the donation of land without a significant “Stewardship Fund.” It would be irresponsible.

I also understand that there has been some confusion on exactly what “deal” was struck. It should be clarified that the funds raised were not to purchase the lands. I donated the lands outright in addition to donating $100,000 to the campaign.

That money was raised to support getting the deal completed and as a fund to manage the island long term—insurance, taxes, signage, etc.

Going forward, the island is open for use and enjoyment for all. I would like people to use the properties for generations to come, however it must be in a way that is respectful and in the best interests of the island long term. Camping, fires and excessive houseboat mooring is not consistent with my wishes nor does it minimize risk of a forest fire or a lawsuit that could deplete the fund and leave Kawartha Land Trust unable to afford ownership.

Ninety-five percent of the community has treated the island with respect, however a minority group have been treating the island like a free campground, dumping garbage, cutting trees and having open fires.

I understand permission was given to select individuals back when the Boyd family owned the

island, but everyone should remember they sold the island 25 years ago (1990). Anyone using the island for the last 25 years has been trespassing. The Boyd’s sold the property in part due to their concern for liability and a possible lawsuit against them.

I have to commend your community of donors and volunteers that rallied together. Frankly, I wasn’t sure if you could do it. I’ve been involved in many charitable and business ventures. I’ve dealt with the Nature Conservancy of Canada, a large national organization, on other properties I own in Quebec and I was amazed at the level of commitment and the focus of your local land trust.

I know that there were large donations from prior Kawartha Land Trust donors making up much of the campaign, however many from the local community also gave generously. Kawartha Land Trust coordinated all the complex dealings— removing the municipal development plan, working with the Canada Revenue Agency for six months to get approvals. You have put your faith in a competent model that has a prosperous future.

In closing, the scale of what the former developers tried to do would have been nothing short of criminal. With looming development proposals now behind us, I do hope the community can bask in the reality that Big Island will be around in its natural state now and into the future.

I invite you to join with Kawartha Land Trust and enjoy the island this coming summer season, and for years to come. It is a special place, well worth all of our care.

Another try at satire

For many, many years, I have fought against the insidious rise of agencies, NGOs, not-for-profits, and so on. They come begging at the public’s feet, in order to pay for a bureaucracy in which they are the principal beneficiaries.

About 25 years ago I tried to raise the awareness level of the public by writing a satirical letter to the London Free Press. I outlined the problems encountered by “small people”—can’t see in cinemas, can’t reach the table in restaurants, can’t find small clothes, and so on.

I was so successful that people did not understand that the letter was satire. I had numerous phone calls, and letters, from people who wanted to join my association for small people.

I am trying the same again with this letter on the

the public, and improving the environment for natural flora.

Unfortunately, this worthwhile undertaking will require funding. I will soon set up a process to accept donations from the general public. I will also approach CoKL who, I am sure, will help with a substantial annual donation of your taxes.

I presume that there will be no objection to me taking on the arduous role of CAO, at some undisclosed salary and benefits. In the near future I will need to employ additional highly qualified staff in order to serve you better. I trust I will have your whole-hearted support as this bureaucratic scam takes root.

After I wrote a letter to the editor of The Kawartha Promoter (I am a refugee, myself, April 22, page 4), some responded with much criticism of my views.

Some even went as far as turning my opinions on what we are doing with one particular Syrian family into their own extrapolation of what (according to their assumption) I was really saying. One gent wrote that he clearly read my anti-refugee stance between the lines.

Well sir, let me be very clear that your assumption is far from the express subject of my original letter. However since you brought it up, yes you are correct. I am against certain aspects of mass immigration and I certainly have the right to say so.

The way I see it, we are making a mistake when we compare today’s immigration to the immigration schemes that originally populated this country (and what was played out in the 1950s).

Some of us older immigrants find such analogy actually insulting. Why? Because we have a much different world scenario in place today.

A mass migration pulls the core populous out of a region, leaving a void for bad guys to move in and prosper. This has been clearly evident, from the

The only answer is to spend our money healing those regions that need healing where they are— locally.

So, you see, I subscribe to the school of encouraging, helping and empowering nations to fight for their rights in their own lands.

Yes, bring us your sick and the truly needy, the ones who truly are in peril. But in my opinion, enticing hoards of able-bodied men and women into running away is wrong.

Let us empower them instead, to stay home and fight for their lands.

Mr. Wile, your interest in Trent Lakes municipal business is commendable (With a capital B, Village Voice, May 20, page 4) and I am sure it’s welcomed.

However, you must get your facts straight.

Oak Shores was developed during 1966-72 as a summer cottage community with no input from the township. The provincial government and Sumcot Development Corporation were the only parties to the development, and Harvey Township was forced to assume responsibility for all services in 1975.

The roads and water service were suitable for a summer-cottage community, however people wanted to live there year round. In the late 1970s, the provincial government forced the township to develop a comprehensive zoning bylaw and Official Plan, and required all waterfront areas to be zoned for seasonal use only. The only exceptions were homes already being used as permanent homes.

The council of the day refused to enact the bylaw to adopt the first Official Plan until the government allowed a conversion policy to be included. So the council was already working to make sure you could legally live in your home all year round.

The fire hall taken from you was originally built by the community as a private facility for Oak Shores. Many years ago it was taken into township operations.

Regarding the community improvement plan, I understand that one of its goals is to create walking opportunities to and from Selwyn Township—and

Have you heard BOB lately?

other improvements to the Trent-Severn lands between the two townships—to enhance the tourist potential of both.

You seem to take exception to Buckhorn being referred to as the capital. You should know, and I am sure the mayor knows, that both the Selwyn and Trent Lakes sides of Buckhorn are hamlets.

As such, there can be no real capital—it is just an expression.

The municipality’s provincially approved Official Plan directs such long-term capital improvements to areas like Buckhorn where retail, restaurants, library, medical centres, schools, grocery stores and population already exist.

You said the only thing you get for your taxes is the usual road maintenance. Have you ever thought of where the money came from to build the road to its present standard? I’m willing to bet you have no complaints with the road maintenance in Oak Shores.

The road connecting Oak Shores to Nichols Cove Road was created by the township to provide an emergency route should the river flood Kennedy and Edwina Drives in the spring.

About 50 percent of your property tax goes to education. Since the 1816 Common Schools Act of Upper Canada, all property owners in Ontario must pay school tax. This was the start of school boards in Ontario.

Another portion goes to the County of Peterborough. For this you get ambulance service,

JR. GOLF CAMP

welfare service, County Roads 36 and 507, a place to handle your garbage, hazardous waste and recycled material, and the Peterborough Regional Health Centre.

For your taxes paid to the township, you are also getting a state-of-the-art fire-and-rescue service in a brand new fire hall, soon to be opened. This was in the planning stage for many years, and many councils were involved. It will provide optimum fire-and-rescue service not only to Oak Shores but all of northwest Harvey Ward. The response time is not as good as the cities, but remember, you chose to live in the country.

Check out how much you pay for police service provided by the OPP. Just call the municipal office

and ask for a copy of the Trent Lakes/OPP agreement.

It’s a public document, like all municipal business.

The beauty of the system is you can vote the mayor or councillors out at the next election. And with the municipal office right in your neighborhood, you will never have to go to Buckhorn again.

Best wishes to you also.

City Hall Dump Card has legs

By Glenna Burns

It seems the “dump card” issue just won’t go away for Trent Lakes council—and that has Mayor Bev Matthews upset.

Gary Firth addressed council in an attempt to clarify his problem when his tax bill carrying his dump card failed to show up through Canada Post.

The policy of the municipality is not to issue second dump cards, no matter what the circumstances—but “a second dump card implies there was a first dump card,” said Firth.

“We are not liars.”

Firth went on to say that some of his neighbours did not get their tax bills and dump cards either.

“Put a ‘first dump card’ into the hands of people who didn’t get one,” he said.

The challenge to the bylaw clearly angered the mayor, who then asked treasurer Donna Teggart to SocialServicesDivision look into the issue.

deficit. So those currently proposed hikes will not have to happen, and Kawartha Lakes will be the best city it can be.

Thirty-nine core services have already been reviewed, with 10 still remaining. Some of the recommendations so far include: reduce some single-pad arenas; reduce community halls from 18 to 12; develop a new customer-service delivery standard for service centres; reduce libraries from 18 to 14; reduce fire halls from 21 to 19; review all 155 parks.

Additionally, the city has 200 buildings and structures whose uses and cost/benefits are being analyzed. Some will, no doubt, be sold off.

At the special meeting in the historic Woodville Community Centre, city staff offered an overview on plans, to be rolled out soon, presenting five- and 10-year proposed budgets that staff feel will help decrease the city’s $200 million budget—60 percent of which comes from taxes.

“Municipal services should be focused, only delivering services that we are mandated to do,” said CAO Ron Taylor, adding that the city needs to be more innovative in its approach.

Councillors Heather Stauble, Gord Miller, Stephen Strangway and Brian Junkin all said they felt citizens need to be consulted more about the proposed changes.

Council is also hoping that recent investments in infrastructure (Northwest trunk) will increase the municipality’s growth rate from one percent last

year to three percent in this and subsequent years.

Growth will help offset increases in operating costs such as insurance and long-term disability as staff age.

The city also has to continue to invest in infrastructure so projects can be “shovel ready” when grants are announced. Also, reserves are low and need to be built up. All these challenges will affect the tax rate further.

It will take time to see positive results for all the changes coming forward, said Letham. “We need to look at the big picture.”

He invited everyone to his town hall meetings happening over the next month or so. He also said councillors need to attend, as only three did so at his first round of meetings to launch the Core Service Review a year ago.

Helga Dickob and her husband Karl have been fighting for years to save a creek that is the main water source for their Kinmount Fish Farms from the neighbouring activities of an aggregate pit operated

by Dudman Construction Ltd.

The creek traverses the aggregate extraction area and flows west to adjoining properties—the nearest one being the Kinmount Fish Farm.

Helga Dickob pleaded with Trent Lakes council on Tuesday, May 17, to “rezone pit property to be

environmentally protected. This has to be done soon.”

The 74-acre property adjacent to the fish farm was sold to Dudman Construction by Peter Franzen, a Trent Lakes councillor at the time of the land sale, and an unsuccessful candidate for deputy mayor in the last municipal election.

In 2007, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests grandfathered renewal of a quarry licence for the property. Since that licence was granted the Dickob’s have been fighting to save the water source for their fish farm at 808 Crystal Lake Road.

“The water is almost completely cut off,” said Ms. Dickob. “First a bridge went (over the creek), then a culvert, now a pipe with only a trickle (of water).”

“This is an issue for the MNRF, but I will refer it to staff,” said Mayor Bev Matthews. “I’ll have staff investigate.”

The Dickob’s frustration also stems from their initial application for a fish-farm licence, at which time they were told the zoning in their area was environmentally protected.

Kawartha Lakes Roundup

WALMART IS IN: City council approved the zoning amendment from the Planning Committee on May 11 to accommodate Walmart’s request for additional grocery space for their proposed Lindsay store. Mason Homes can now prepare the site and allow Fieldgate Development to proceed with construction of the Walmart store. Mason Homes will also develop residential homes in the vicinity.

CKL-CUPE deal: The city and over 500 CUPE Local 855 employees have ratified a new fouryear contract that provides a 1.5 percent annual wage increase. Other minor language adjustments and enhancements to benefits were part of the agreement.

CKL REMEMBERS TO FLUSH: The Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) has started its annual spring watermain flushing, which will continue through to the end of June. Water mains need to be flushed to remove sediment that gradually builds up in the pipes. During flushing, OCWA suggests residents avoid using their water systems, and place filters,

softeners and other water-treatment equipment in by-pass mode. It says the water will remain safe and potable during the flushing period, but there may be brief periods of discoloration, cloudiness and temporary pressure fluctuations. After the flushing, remove screens or aerators on the cold-water tap closest to your incoming water line, and let it run until the water flows clear. Flushing will take place Monday through Friday between 8 am and 4 pm at: Woodville (June 6); Manorview, Woodfield (June 7); Janetville (June 9); Pinewood (June 14); Sonya (June 16); and Manilla (June 21).

CONNECT—IT’S THE LAW: Kawartha Lakes wants to help property owners comply with a 2014 bylaw (#2014-255) that requires any building using water or wastewater that fronts onto a road allowance with existing municipal services to connect within 18 months of the bylaw’s passing.

Implementation will be phased in. Approximately 30 property owners in the Fenelon Falls area will begin receiving notices later this month. Staff will monitor the rollout and make adjustments to ensure a smooth implementation of the bylaw requirements throughout the city and lessen the financial burden on residents. “The City maintains twentyone water treatment plants and six sewage plants and has invested millions of dollars in upgrades and maintenance,” said Ward 6 Councillor Doug Elmslie. “Residents that become connected to City services will be assured of clean, safe drinking water and sewage treatment.”

WE’RE NOT SELLING FILTERS: Several concerned residents have contacted the city about persons using various sales tactics to gain access to homes in the area to sell water filtration systems to residents. These individuals are not affiliated with the City of Kawartha Lakes. Residents should be cautious about allowing strangers access to their homes and should scrutinize any Photo ID carefully.

City Staff carry identification that includes the City logo. When in doubt please contact the City of Kawartha Lakes Water and Wastewater Division.

Kawartha Lakes provides safe drinking water to areas serviced by municipal water that meets all requirements as set out by the Safe Drinking Water Act, and Ontario Regulation 169/03.

VOLUNTEER FOR THE MILK RUN: The Parks, Recreation & Culture Division is seeking responsible, energetic and reliable volunteers to assist at the 38th Annual Lindsay Milk Run. This 5km and 10km event takes place on Sunday July 17, beginning and ending at the Lindsay Recreation Complex.

Curve Lake election a big step forward

When Curve Lake First Nation holds elections for chief and band council this Monday, June 20, it will be a historic moment.

This will be the first election held under the band’s own Leadership Selection Code, instead of under the regulations of the Indian Act.

“Our election process was developed and approved by our community,” says a statement on the Curve Lake First Nation website. “Our election process is now our very own.”

It’s an important step for this First Nation in the decolonizing process that Indigenous people are working at across Canada.

Of the 617 First Nations in Canada, 240 still hold their elections under the Indian Act and the Indian Band Election Regulations, while 341—including, now, Curve Lake—select their leadership according to their own community or custom election codes.

Three dozen are self-governing with their own constitutions.

The code, produced by council as a result of the consultation, was adopted through a community vote Sept. 12, 2015, to be implemented this June.

Under the new Curve Lake code, chief and council will be elected for a three-year term, instead of the two years mandated by the Indian Act.

The nominees for chief in this current election are incumbent Chief Phyllis Williams, Jeffrey Jacobs, Charlie (Burwell) Taylor and Elmer Whetung.

The nominees for council are: David Beaucage Johnson, Ted Coppaway (incumbent), Wanita Dokis, Laurie Hockaday, Deborah Jacobs (incumbent), Alec Knott, Camille McCue, Zachary McCue (incumbent), Arnold Taylor (incumbent), Jimmy Taylor, Shane Taylor (incumbent), Tiffany Taylor, Lorenzo Whetung (incumbent) and Gary Williams.

Minaajim: Good Stories from Curve Lake Wangton, Johnny-Pot and I.

As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka

When I was a young boy, I so looked forward to the annual canoe races at Curve Lake, which they called The Regatta. I think I liked it so much because it was a time when our men could prove their prowess in racing canoes.

Many hamlets in and around this area would

host different regattas where our men would go to race. Over time, several of them became wellknown for winning races.

At the top of the list were two individuals who were equals in terms of their racing abilities. They took turns at winning. One would win one day and the other the next. Back and forth and back and forth it went.

Their names were Wellington Williams, whom we knew as “Wangton,” and John Taylor, whom we called “Johnny-Pot.” They became renowned for winning many races in the area.

I myself tried canoe racing, but paled in comparison to them. Even so, one day when canoe races were going on in Buckhorn Lake, Johnny-Pot and Wangton were both there—and so was I.

We lined up for the senior men’s race along with about seven others, from all around the area but outside of Curve Lake. I remember the referee yelling “GO”—and away we went.

Wangton and Johnny-Pot were paddling side by side as fast as they could, when all of a sudden they locked up into each other. They were stuck and started flailing around. They couldn’t get free and they were falling off course.

And in all the kerfuffle, I slid by and won the race.

An American tourist came running up to me all excited and exclaimed: “Wow. That was quite a win.”

I proudly pumped up my chest. I think that is the only race I ever won.

The canoe—or JIIMAAN—is an integral part of our culture. With canoes we travelled and traded, visited and explored. The waterways were like the highways of today, but with canoes instead of cars.

To this day we continue to harvest foods, particularly rice, by canoe.

JIIMAAN has many dimensions—and in some cases actually comes alive . . . but that is another story.

Bobcaygeons Annual Welcome to Summer Festival.

Caygeon unlocks another summer

You’ve seen them roaming around our Kawartha Lakes in ever increasing numbers the last few years—looking poised and elegant as they perch oh so casually on a fancy, floating board and swing a paddle like it wasn’t seven feet long.

How do they do that?

We’re talking about Stand-up Paddleboards of course—or SUPs for short.

Maybe you’re thinking you’d like to try it yourself.

Maybe you already have—successfully or otherwise.

Or maybe you’re thinking they’ll never get me on one of those things . . . never.

Well here’s your chance to get up close and personal with an SUP and find out a bit more about them when Bobcaygeon “Unlocks the Summer” for 2016 this Saturday, June 4.

There’ll be an SUP demonstration at Buckeye Surf and Snow at 2 pm.

Perhaps paddling makes you think of the dogpaddle—the basic swimming stroke your favourite puppy does when she jumps in the lake to cool off on those lazy, hazy crazy days of summer.

You know they’re coming.

Every dog has his day, they say, and some of Bobcaygeon’s dogs will have theirs at Unlock the Summer too, when the featured Summer Dog Fashion Show kicks off at 10 am at Case Manor, 28 Boyd Street, which is functioning as party central for Unlock the Summer this year.

Parking will be available at Case Manor itself, as well as at Tim Horton’s across the street and at Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church, around the corner at 18 Need Street.

There’s a limit of 20 dogs, and they have to be under 20 lbs apiece, but for a $5 entry fee you and your dog will have a chance to win a $50 gift certificate prize from Paws and Claws.

Entry forms are available at Case Manor, and judges will announce the winner at 11 am. Or just watch and take it all in. Dog shows are a spectator sport, after all.

Maybe you prefer your watercraft to be powered by a motor rather than a paddle. In that case, the docks at Case Manor are the place to be to see the Classic Boats on display.

Wind power is yet another option you can explore at Unlock the Summer when the Pigeon Lake Yacht Club—121 Boyd, across the highway and at the far eastern end of the street from Case Manor—hosts an open house to show off their dingy-style sailboats and keel boats.

Come early for a free pancake breakfast starting at 9 am.

Other Unlock the Summer activities in and around Case Manor include the requisite face painting, balloon twisting “by Matthew,” checkers and other outdoor fun.

Don’t forget the summer barbecue from noon to 2 pm.

And of course, there’s all the shops and restaurants the village has to offer, plus the excitement of the returning boaters, locking through the canal.

The Bobcaygeon Farmers’ Market is back again for the season too. Find it at the Bobcaygeon Fairgrounds, from 8 am to 1 pm.

Don’t miss the party, hosted once again by

Practice was good and we covered a lot of ground— perhaps because we’d had a sectional practice for tenor and basses the week before. It was definitely deemed necessary.

Horoscopes

June 3-16 Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan 21 to Feb. 19) There’s a Dutch proverb, Aquarius, that says a handful of patience is worth a bushel of brains. May we suggest you try to be more patient? Please don’t expect everything to go smoothly, especially the first time.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) You are known in zodiac circles, dear Pisces, as being withdrawn and lacking initiative when it comes to sorting out your own problems. You’re more concerned with other people than yourself, which is, of course, admirable.

But your problems, if not confronted, can lead to bigger problems—and then you are no good to anyone. Work on this.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) We think your love life is doing okay. What do you say? But if you are truly not happy, do not wait for some saviour to walk into your life and change everything. YOU must decide whether a change is needed, and how you plan to make that important change.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) This is not the time to worry about your career. Things are going well, so don’t rock the boat. Perhaps in a few months’ time, it would be more prudent to think about a change or to ask for that raise.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) You must clear your mind of the non-essentials, the anxieties, the fears, the worries about what’s coming next. You and your brain cannot function properly and think wisely when you are burdened this way.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Do you realize how beneficial nature can be to the body and mind,

22 June 3, 2016 - The Kawartha Promoter

Cancer? It has many restorative virtues. So get out and enjoy it. Do it. There’s no excuse for keeping yourself bundled up inside.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) It seems you are in a bit of a holding pattern, Leo. Nothing much appears to be “happening” on the horizon. But, don’t you worry. The best things occur when we least expect them.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Keep in mind, Virgo, that today—and every new day you are given—you have the ability to create your life exactly as you would like it to be. Pay no attention to the naysayers.

Go out there and be the person you want to be.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) A purple flower may have an impact on your daily routine in the coming days. Keep an open mind. It could mean something very special for you.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Scorpios can be slow to forgive, but they’ll never forget an act of kindness. In fact, they will often repay it. But please try to work on forgiveness. The grudge you carry harms you far more that any perpetrator.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Life is moving along nicely for you, Sag, at a graceful pace. Enjoy the summer. Relax. Don’t look too far ahead—all is good. Do not over analyze.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) “And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings”—Meister Eckhart. Ah, Capricorn. New beginnings are just what you need right now. Trust them.

Reliable, affordable rural internet Rural areas like the Kawartha Lakes make up huge parts of this country that are still being left behind in access to high-quality, affordable internet service, says Dan Barnes, founder and CEO of Ruralwave.

“We’re passionate about working to fix that,” he adds, “because universal broadband access to fast internet service is critical to economic growth and future prosperity in rural communities.”

“We started our company in 1995 because we saw a lack of internet access in our own Brock Township,” he says.

While still 100 percent locally owned and operated—home base is in Little Britain now—Ruralwave has grown to serve clients from Oshawa and Port Hope north toward Bancroft, and from Newmarket east to Peterborough—and including almost all of Kawartha Lakes.

Ruralwave guarantees its subscribers reliable, affordable broadband internet connection and phone service. It has “Hot

Spots” for tourist-and-campground locations around the coverage area, and operates over 118 transmission towers and four Network Operation Centres (Cannington, Bancroft, Toronto and New York).

Ruralwave features a variety of highspeed wireless internet packages tailored to fit the needs of any customer, whether residential or business.

The Surf package starts at $49.99 per month with 5Mbps download speed, 0.5MBps upload speed, and 45GB of usage per month.

The new, leading-edge LTE Power Plans offer download speeds of up to 25Mbps (soon to be 50Mbps) and up to 500GB of usage per month. Add 100GB of usage to any package if you need more bandwidth.

They also offer home-phone service for any of our internet customers.

You can reach Ruralwave by phone (705-432-8468 or 866-930-3846, toll free), by e-mail (sales@ruralwave.ca) or through online chat on their website (ruralwave.ca).

Attack of the runaway drone

Audrey Coumbs with her neighbour Carolyn Crawford, shows the size of the runaway drone that crash landed almost right where the two women are standing in her Sherwood Gardens driveway.

23 Veterans Way, Fenelon Falls 705-887-3041 www.fenelonfallslegion.ca

Audrey Coumbs was unloading the trunk of her car in her driveway at about 2 pm on Tuesday, May 24, when she heard a funny, loud humming noise coming from the other side of the house.

As she began walking around her Sherwood Gardens home in Bobcaygeon to investigate, a bread-box-sized flying object came suddenly buzzing over the roof at a terrific speed and crashed down onto the driveway mere feet from where she’d been standing.

When it hit the pavement, it smashed into a dozen or so pieces, she told The Kawartha Promoter.

“It could have hit my car—or it could have hit me,” said the shaken woman. “If it had hit me in the head, that could have been the end.”

Audrey called her neighbour Carolyn Crawford, and while they were standing there surveying the wreckage—Carolyn with the largest intact piece in her hand—two young men drove up, looking for their drone.

“They said they’d come from the trailer park where they’d been flying their drone, but I didn’t think to ask which one,” said Audrey. “They said they’d lost control of it.” They told the two women they get interference quite regularly, and when that happens the drone is just supposed to drop out of the air.

“For something to be flying around in the air, and to lose control of it in the main part of town— that’s ridiculous,” said Audrey. “It wasn’t funny; they’re lucky someone wasn’t hurt . . . or killed. It just came swooping over the house.”

Transport Canada agrees. While regulations on such rapidly-evolving drones are in the process of being updated, TC’s page on drone do’s and don’ts says operators must always keep drones in sight and “respect the privacy of others—avoid flying over private property or taking photos or videos without permission.”

It warns that operators should never fly their drones: • Closer than 150 metres from people, animals, buildings, structures, or vehicles;

• In populated areas; • Near moving vehicles, highways, bridges, busy streets or anywhere you could endanger or distract drivers.

“I have a heart condition,” said Audrey. “I could have died of shock.”

The Island is open— tread lightly

With local, registered, conservation charity Kawartha Land Trust taking on ownership of most of Chiminis (Big/Boyd Island)—and the responsibility for managing all of it—legal public access to the island has been restored for the first time since the island transferred into European ownership in the early 19th century.

Mike and Terry Wilson, who donated the island to KLT while keeping several small parcels for their family, are also allowing public access to their own retained properties.

Now everyone can access this island with the largest preserved, undeveloped shoreline in the Kawartha Lakes. But the uses must be compatible with the donors’ wishes, with Environment Canada’s Ecological Gifts Program, and with the insurance designation for an untouched nature preserve.

Permitted activities include: fishing, swimming, picnics, hiking, walking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and related recreation, use of recreational facilities such as trails, and research and educational programs.

Overnight camping, hunting, fires, vehicle use, alcohol consumption, and harm to wildlife, vegetation or other features will not be allowed.

KLT is developing a Property Management Plan

that will allow the public to continue to enjoy the island while maintaining its natural and cultural features. They have established a local Management Team to guide the Property Management Plan and related activities.

The team will continue to seek input from the local community on how to best encourage use and enjoyment of the island.

An online survey can be found and filled out on the Kawartha Land Trust website.

For more information on the KLT and Big Boyd/Chiminis Island, visit the KLT website at kawarthalandtrust.org

“Use at your own risk and please tread lightly,” says KLT.

Coby seeks help for station museum

The Coboconk Railway Station Restoration Committee is seeking money and volunteer time to turn the main floor of the Coby Train Station into a museum.

They have a completed design ready to go for the project, which will house local historical information, memorabilia and artifacts.

But this “new and exciting stage” is beyond the building and fund-raising skills of the current volunteers. It will require much more funding, organizers say.

The committee has been in place and working hard for some time and volunteer fatigue is setting in. They have already restored siding, windows and the basement hall at the old station, as well as installing a new furnace and a fire warning system.

They have managed to fund the modest cost for materials so far with flea markets and silent auctions.

Health & Wellness Climate change— and the ticks just keep on coming

Lyme disease is on the increase in Ontario—and you can get the potentially fatal disease from the bite of a blacklegged tick.

Public Health Ontario reported 220 “confirmed and probable” human cases of Lyme disease in 2014. Most occurred from May to October, with June, July and August accounting for more than two-thirds of cases.

Not all blacklegged ticks carry Lyme disease, but climate change is increasing the number of infected ticks in fields and forests across Canada. So the Peterborough County-City Health Unit is asking local residents to be aware of the disease and how to prevent it.

If you’re out in the local bush during the warmer months, health officials suggest wearing longsleeved shirts, long pants and hats to discourage ticks from latching onto you as you brush against them on branches or wildflower plants.

When you get back home, be sure everyone checks their bodies for ticks—including the dog.

They can be “as small as a sesame seed and their bites are usually painless, so it’s important to be on the lookout for ticks and the symptoms of Lyme disease,” says Atul Jain, Manager of Environmental Health Programs.

If you do find one, use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to your skin as possible and pull it straight out.

The Peterborough Health Unit is “monitoring for evidence of infected ticks in our area, so it’s asking people who do find ticks on their bodies to bring them to the Health Unit for identification.

Save it in an empty screw-top bottle or zip-top bag and take it to the third floor of the health unit at 185 King St., Peterborough, Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.

Include this information—full name and birth date for the person with the tick, location of tick on the body and length of time attached, where the tick was acquired, along with recent travel history; any symptoms, and healthcare provider’s name and city.

The first sign of Lyme disease is usually a circular rash in the shape of a bull’s eye, Jain explains. Other symptoms can include fever, chills, headache, muscle and joint pain, fatigue and swollen lymph nodes. For more details, visit www. pcchu.ca click on “My Home & Environment” and go to “Lyme Disease.”

The Essentials: Are you getting enough omega fatty acids?

By Benjamin Stone

Our bodies need the proper nutrition to maintain health. This is fact.

Most people, however, are deficient in many common minerals, vitamins and fats? We see omega fatty acid deficiencies again and again in our office.

Your body needs—from your dietary intake— both omega 3 (alpha-linolenic) and omega 6

(linolein) fatty acids for many vital processes in the human body: • To maintain healthy cell membranes, which are made up of fat.

• For proper development and functioning of the brain and nervous system, essential for children.

Deficiencies often show up as mood disorders.

• To regulate proper thyroid and adrenal activity, so you don’t feel tired and stressed all the time.

• For hormone production.

• To regulate blood pressure, liver function, immune system, and immune responses.

• To balance blood clotting (omega 6 encourages clotting, omega 3 reduces clotting).

Studies show that omega 3 fatty acids work better than statin drugs in controlling blood pressure (hypertension). This makes sense, as a nutrient will always help the body to repair and heal, whilst a drug only serves to suppress and mask symptoms, leading eventually to failure and a worse rebounding of the original issue.

Ideally, we should balance the amounts of omega 6 and omega 3 in our diet, but we tend to take in more omega 6 than omega 3 as the former is quite pronounced in animal products.

Food sources for omega 3s are flax (fresh ground or properly pressed into an oil in order to prevent rancidity), pumpkin seeds, walnuts and dark leafy greens.

Supplementing with omega fatty acids is a good idea. In our culture we have an epidemic of inflammatory diseases reducing our intestinal level absorption of important nutrients.

Fish oil or vegetarian source omegas are available in all kinds of tasty flavours and can be hidden in smoothies or applesauce easily.

Remember, ESSENTIAL means you REQUIRE it for healthy living—and it needs to be obtained through food or a supplement because the body does not produce it.

Alexandra Public School students Lewis (K-Grade 2) and Hilary (Grades 3-6) won first prize for these delightful familydoctor-appreciation posters.

Kids show docs love

Lewis and Hilary from Alexandra Public School are the winners in the Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative’s (KLHCI) poster contest for Family Doctor Appreciation Week (FDAW)—coming up June 6-10.

The winners of the letter-writing contest are Levi from Bobcaygeon Public School and Tessa from

Alexandra Public School. You can see the winning posters here, and many of the letters will be aired on BOB FM each morning during FDAW.

KLHCI asks folks to thank their own doctors for “the professional health care they provide.”

Family doctors are essential to the health and vitality of our community, says KLHCI. “We hope that all citizens will take the time to extend their gratitude for the commitments these doctors make.”

KLHCI is sending letters of appreciation to all family doctors, and has recognized two doctors specifically with gift certificates.

The Ontario Health Coalition (OHC) has been calling it a referendum, but it’s really more like a massive petition.

But by whatever name you give it, the OHC collected over 94,000 “votes” (with more still coming in at press time)—and 99.6 percent of those

voters said stop the cuts to Ontario’s community hospitals.

A very large petition presented to the Ontario Legislature might have 20,000 signatures at most.

The OHC had asked Ontarians to vote YES or NO to the statement: “Ontario’s government must stop the cuts to our community hospitals and restore services, funding and staff to meet our communities’ needs for care.”

Kawartha Lakes itself collected 3,665 YES votes and 13 NOs, with five spoiled ballots.

The provincial coalition and more than 40 communities, including CKL, set up more than 1,000 voting stations in Legions, churches, nursing homes and outside grocery stores and other places (see Referendum to save local hospitals, May 6, page 23) to collect the votes on May 28—and at advance polls. People could also vote by email.

Health Coalition volunteers collected oaths from those voting, asking people to swear that they

are 16-years or older, the age of consent for healthcare decisions, and that they would only vote once.

People were asked to leave their postal code to help ensure the integrity of the vote wherever possible.

Ontario is currently in the ninth consecutive year of real-dollar cuts to global hospital budgets, the longest stretch in Ontario’s history. These cuts mean that hospitals across the province, cannot keep up even with basic inflation. Hospitals have been cut to the point of dangerous overcrowding and understaffing and patients are paying the price.

Weldon’s ‘Hip’ and caring alumnus

By Glenna Burns

The story of Tragically Hip frontman Gord Downie’s diagnosis of brain cancer has touched many Canadians. We all remember the excitement of hosting the band here for a fabulous outdoor show several years after the band’s song, “Bobcaygeon” put our little village on the map.

But the community has another connection to this sad story of Gord’s illness.

The neurosurgeon who has been operating on and caring for Gord, is none other than I. E. Weldon Secondary School alumnus, DJ Cook.

Dr. Cook is well known to Weldon graduates because he comes home every year to present the Doug Cook Award in memory of his dad, a teacher at Bobcaygeon Public School who died too young.

He gives the award to “a rural graduating student pursuing post-secondary studies who is going to be a teacher. This student does not necessarily have the highest grades but is a hard worker.”

What is remarkable about Dr. Cook’s story is that no matter where he was studying, whether at the University of Toronto or far away at California’s Stanford University, he always came home in June to present his father’s memorial award.

Weldon Principal Mark Cossarin said that long before Dr. Cook’s connection to Gord Downie became public news, the school had planned, at this June 30 graduation ceremony, to induct DJ into the Weldon Alumni Hall where the school honours its distinguished grads.

Certainly Dr. Cook is a grad worthy of induction onto IEW’s honour roll. He can add that to his many other well deserved accomplishments in teaching, neurosurgery and stroke research.

Promoter reporter Glenna Burns taught for many

years at I. E. Weldon, until her recent retirement.

Summer Lakeshore Festival

The organizing committee for this year’s Summer Lakeshore Festival at Gamiing Nature Centre has been working hard for months to line up a full day of fun, great music and fine local and international food,” says Gamiing director Mieke Schipper.

It’s a free, family event on Saturday, June 18, with lots for both children and adults.

Enthusiastic birders can kick off the day at 7 am. Mark Hecnar will lead them in discovering the many birds found at Gamiing, which Mark calls a Birder’s Paradise.

The rest of the day’s events begin at 11 am, and will include: • Facepainting with Jenny Garcia’s Pretty Cheeky (https://www.facebook.com/PrettyCheeky); • Amy Elliot’s popular “Wild Edibles at Gamiing” workshop starts at noon. Wild lunches for $5.

• “Matt the Birdman with his Birds of Prey” starts at 2 pm with a chance to see a number of raptors up close, even perching on your head or arm; • Dinner from 5-7 pm, featuring great Middle Eastern food from Peterborough’s Basha Catering; • The first concert of Gaming’s “Sounds under the Stars” summer series starts at 7:30 pm with Middle Eastern music by Yousef Al Awad and dancing by a group of Syrian youngsters from Lindsay. There will be a cash bar with organic beer and wine from the Kawartha Winery. Tickets are $10.

There will also be wildlife displays and exhibitions, and guided nature walks.

And since Gamiing (pronounced gaa-‘miing) is an Ojibway word meaning “by the shore,” says Schipper, “we’re specially honoured to have First Nations people here to support the centre.”

For more information contact Schipper at: 705928-0263 or info@gamiing.org.

Let us work some magic for you.
