OVER THE BACK FENCE

involved for 16 of those years, as a director, actress and emcee. But I have to say I love acting the best. So, here’s a plug for our upcoming dinner theatre, which I am in.

We’re performing Buying the Moose by Michael G. Wilmot April 28 to 30 and May 5 to 7. Tickets go on sale Monday, March 13 at 9:30am and are in advance only. For $40, you get a fantastic meal and the entertainment. Tickets sell out fast – last Spring’s play sold out in just 1 day.

This is not only a fun night out, but a great way to support our community.

The dinner theatre is one of the annual fundraisers for the BCC, a facility that isn’t owned by the municipality. They depend on fundraisers, membership and donations to keep doing the great family indo. So please come out and work they support us … you won’t be sorry!

When John and I moved to Buckhorn in 2000, it was a huge adjustment from the busy city life to the laid-back country vibe.

We didn’t know anyone up here and I made it my mission to meet some new people.

My first stop was the Buckhorn Community Centre, what I consider to be the heart of our little town. When I found out they put on a dinner theatre, I asked if they needed any help with sets or behind stage stuff.

Why Move Road Depot?

Trent Lakes has passed its 2017 budget with a 4.47% tax hike (7.24% municipal levy increase).

One of these big ticket items is a centralized road depot on Hwy 49, between Bobcayeon and Galway, that exists miles away from where the major part of the roads are located, on a road which is maintained by the City of the Kawartha Lakes.

This idea was floated approximately 3 years ago and was turned down based on the extreme size of the municipality. At the all candidates meeting in Galway, before the last election, all candidates were asked, “If you are elected, will you leave the existing roads depots alone?” The answer by all was yes. Two of these people are on council. What has changed?

I was approached by a roads employee recently and asked what I thought of this crazy idea. I was shocked that it was on the table again.

He said, “it can’t work”. They have enough trouble now reaching their equipment in bad conditions. I asked one of the councillors this question and he said they might have to leave trucks at the original sites in the winter and store the trucks inside these existing depots in summer. Really! And why are we building a new one?

Doesn’t sound like good planning or economy to me. I also understand it is very hard on trucks to run them with the ploughs up as all the weight is on the front end. Take a drive to this site and see for yourself.

We feel that a decision this important, not only now but for the foreseeable future, should have a public meeting where all questions from concerned citizens can be heard. We do not live south of the border where our input has no value.

If you are concerned by the excessive travel time employees will be making and the extra wear and tear on vehicles everyday going over roads we don’t maintain, please call or write your representative and the township.

Now is the time to voice your concerns, not after you find your road not ploughed and see the overtime paid to employees who have to travel this distance before starting to work.

Arts & Heritage Trail

Our “city” now has an Arts and Heritage Trail, created by Debra Soule, whose role it is to publicize the cultural, touristy aspects of our great city. Her official title is City Economic Development Officer.

Hence it comes as a surprise that she appears to know so little about this city.

She’s moved the Boyd Heritage Museum to Fenelon Falls. She’s confused Oakwood with Bobcaygeon (see the website, listed below, and go to “Oakwood”). And she’s made strange statements.

Under “Coboconk,” she states correctly that Balsam Lake is the highest point in the Trent-Severn system, then goes on to claim that it is also “the highest point in North America where you can circumnavigate the world.” Perhaps there’s a word missing?

“We’re already getting calls,” reports Ms Soule, “So I know it’s going to grow.” We can only hope she’s wrong on that last statement too.

Late last year City of Kawartha Lakes Council By Pat Warren decided to reduce the number of Councillors by half, City of Kawartha Lakes Council has approved to eight. The next step is to decide ward boundaries funding for lake management implementation funding, allowing the Kawartha Region Conservation on March 21.

At the meeting on February 21, Council Authority (KRCA) to move forward with some actions heard from Dr. Robert Williams, an expert in ward in the plan.

Last December, Council voted against supporting boundaries and council composition. He gave his assurances the process of deciding ward boundary more than $303,800 for implementation projects options was managed well by staff. He also said that that were identified in the Lake Management Plan. the options given would be defensible if taken to the Kawartha Conservation then cut about half their request and asked Council to reconsider their Ontario Municipal Board.

Council will have eight choices to consider: decision. This move would help to leverage money eight wards with one representative; four wards with from other funding partners allowing some of the two representatives; and different border choices for actions in the plans to move forward.

Director of Watershed Management and Science each scenario.

The process for ward boundaries was based Mark Majchrowski presented the case for support to on population as well as communities of interest, Council. “We believe this proposal meets Council’s including tourism, seasonal residents and agriculture. objective of cost reduction, preserves program In all eight scenarios presented by staff, urban areas continuity, enables external grants and donations to such as Bobcaygeon and Omemee will each become be realized, and enables our uniquely skilled core staff expertise to be retained to carry on the program.“ one ward and not divided as they are today.

Chris Appleton, previous Chair of the Community Dr. Williams stated that it is important that representation be decided by communities of interest Advisory Panel for Lake Management Planning, and and wards should be more focused and connected current Chair Doug Erlandson both spoke in favour of to the communities they represent. At amalgamation supporting the new request. Appleton said, “We all in 2000, Harry Kitchen decided to structure the City know that our lake resources are precious, and central into wards that shared both urban and rural interests. to the continuing success of CKL. The development On Monday of this week, Council heard from of lake management plans is an essential first step the public about which scenario they preferred. in the process of maintaining the health of our water Although there were only a few people who spoke resources. The next essential step is implementation and submitted letters, most wanted to have eight so that it doesn’t gather dust on the shelf.”

Erlandson stated, “If we are going to capitalize on our investment-to-date, it is also essential that we have the expertise and an administrative structure in place to be able to seek the grants, provide guidance and coordinate the projects.”

Councillor Breadner, a new board member at KRCA (replacing Councillor Stauble) was not in favour of the motion and said it will set a dangerous precedent. “We turned it down once, it shouldn’t be coming back,” he said.

In the end Council approved the funding of $157,000.

Some of the projects that will now move ahead include enabling best management practices on agricultural lands; agricultural water quality and habitat restoration projects; beach improvement projects; Fenelon Falls Shoreline improvements; and Bobcaygeon Beach identification of E coli sources.

TRENT LAKES COUNCIL

By Glenna Burns

Here’s a synopsis of the Trent Lakes Council meeting on February 21.

Sun Sourced Energy: Council approved a 250kW solar energy project by ReneSola. The project will commence this spring if the habitat for endangered or threatened species on the 2.44 acre property at 1113 Peterborough County Road 36 is not compromised. All electricity generated at the site will be sold back to the utility provider.

Love Your Lake Program: Gary Jarosz, representing the Cavendish Community Ratepayers Association, asked council to allow Trent University students to have access to GIS (geographic information systems) to facilitate the study of lake health and shoreline conditions. Property owners will receive confidential evaluations and suggestions for volunteer actions to naturalize shorelines to improve lake water quality.

An agreement of use will be drawn up between the municipality and the Association for GIS usage.

to move forward. The plan endorses healthy and active aging, integrated connections between agencies serving seniors and hopes to foster an appreciation of the elderly. With these ideals comes the enhancement of the infrastructure that elderly citizens need to flourish in the community.

Fire Fines on the Horizon: Fire Chief Don Mitchell informed council that in future, Fire Rescue may start fining people who have no working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the home when they make a fire call.

TL TAX HIKE

By Glenna Burns

Residents in the Municipality of Trent Lakes can blame increased OPP policing costs and insurance rates for their next property tax increase.

Council has approved their 2017 budget that includes a 9.8 percent increase for the OPP and a 9.57 percent rise in insurance rates.

Property taxes will increase by a rate of 4.47%.

For the average residential property owner that translates to just over $100.

The average residential property owner will pay Trent Lakes approximately $1357.03 in taxes. The total municipal levy for 2017 will be $8,714,311.85.

This figure is 7.24% increase from the 2016 levy of $8,125,784.29. The municipal tax levy represents the amount of money all property owners will pay annually to fund the municipality’s activities.

The good news is the average assessed residential property values in Trent Lakes, according to MPAC (Municipal Property Assessment Corporation), increased for 2017. In 2016 an average residence in Trent Lakes was valued at just over $346,000. In 2017 that value increased to almost $360,000.

The total 2017 budget for the Municipality is about $2 million more than 2016. Officials say much of it (63.73 percent) is consumed by capital costs, roads and public works. The remainder is split among general government (10.63%), fire/rescue and parks/recreation (9.63%) and other protection like OPP(16.01%).

100,000 AND COUNTING

76 North Street Inc. opened its screen printing and embroidery business in Bobcaygeon on May 6, 2016 with its first order of 60 hoodies for Big Boys Burgers in Toronto.

On March 2, 2017 at 10:47pm the night shift team printed its milestone 100,000 garment print as recorded on the ‘counter’ of their automatic press. The ‘counter’ also shows the machine was printing 576 pcs per hour of this 7 colour print which was shipped the next morning to the Urban Behavior national chain.

“We are so proud of both our day and night shift teams along with our reps across Canada,” says Production Manager Jake Baye, “and to be so involved in the Bobcaygeon community. Obtaining a license for Canada 150 and shipping Canadawide along with 6 other countries so far, is another proud achievement for our little company located right here in Bobcaygeon. We are so honoured and grateful to all the local businesses and retailers for your loyal printing and embroidery support.”

BOBCAYGEON ROAD REHAB

Work on Main Street and Duke Street has begun.

The city is replacing storm sewers and “associated road construction” that could mean some headaches for local drivers.

Officials say while the work won’t be completed until the end of October, construction will shut down from July 1 to September 3 for the summer tourist season.

Residents in the area will continue to have their garbage and recycling picked up as per the normal schedule, but are asked to have their address marked on their bins. If the trucks are unable to access your driveway, City workers will move them to a collection point and return them after collection.

Water service may be interrupted during the project, but officials say they’ll make every attempt to provide a minimum of 24 hours notice for any water service interruption. They’ll also try to perform any water shutoffs during off-peak hours.

CANOE FOR KIDS GEON & DISTRICT LIONS CLUB BOBCAYGEON & DISTRICT LIONS CLUB

eet ON Lions Hall - 55 Main Street Bobcaygeon ON K0M 1A0

Ted Garrels, a resident of Bobcaygeon, has been volunteering with the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization for about 20 years.

Last September, Ted decided to use his canoe-making talents to help the cause.

He says, “The canoe project came together with the support and caring of a number of people in the community. Their consideration and belief in our youth helped me put this fundraising project together with little or no cost to the organization.”

A lot of elements were involved in the building of the stripper-type canoe. Ted says, “Let’s call it something old, something new, something borrowed, something glue. The old is the rawhide lacing used for the webbing in the seats. The new is the main material used in the construction of the vessel. The borrowed is the form on which the canoe is built and the glue, well, that’s self explanatory.”

You can put in an offer to buy the one-of-akind, hand-built canoe on Kijiji in the Peterborough/ Kawartha Lakes area. All of the funds raised will go to the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization.

Choristers Corner

Submitted by April Scott

After three cancellations out of six rehearsals because of the weather, the choristers are back to practices for the Spring concert.

Our sing-alongs on Tuesday are going well and are now interspersed with some very witty stories told by Laura Plummer. At one, we sang a rendition of Happy Birthday to our fearless leader and then he put us to work with ‘Here comes the sun’ along with some other goodies.

Talking about goodies, the Retirement Suites staff delivered some delicious cookies for us to enjoy along with tea and coffee.

Ron King had been in touch with Syd Jackson who used to belong to the tenor section. Syd recently moved out of town to Bradford, is happily settled and is pleased that he has found a choir to sing in. Syd was truly dedicated to the Choristers with his tape recorder, recording every practice so he could learn his part at home.

We also heard from Bob Bettson who was the Minister at the Anglican Church. He is happy living in Toronto and he has found a busy choir to sing in.

He also sang in our tenor section and unfortunately we lost both of them at the same time.

Until next time please like us on Facebook Bobcaygeon Choristers and remember we always welcome new members.

Call Bob Plummer at 705-731-1060 or April Scott at 705-738-2396 for further information.

Hopefully Spring is just around the corner - take care and we will talk next time.

Leapin’ leprechauns

By John Crossen

No discussion of St. Patrick’s Day could overlook the mischievous little folk who could grant you three wishes that would miraculously come true. Holy mackerel, if this is a religion, sign me up! Humm, leprechaunism. It sounds good to me. Now let’s get down to those three wishes.

The leprechaun is a fairy in modern Irish folklore. They didn’t exist in earliest Ireland culture.

They were supposedly solitary three-foot tall creatures who spent their time making and mending shoes and have a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (I wish).

Thanks to a century or two of cartoons, many of which were derogatory towards the Irish, we still imagine them as tiny bearded

men festooned in a floppy green coat and wizard-like, emeraldcoloured hats large enough to rent out to a second family. But best of all, they rejoice in wreaking havoc – especially on we humans.

Leprechauns first took to the pages of literature in the medieval story known as the ‘Adventure of Fergus son of Léti’. In it a tale is woven in which the King of Ulster falls asleep on the beach.

When he awakens he feels water washing upon his feet and three leprechauns dragging him into the sea. It’s not good to mess with the king, so he captures his mischievous abductors. They in turn grant him three wishes in exchange for their release. So that’s where the three wishes stories come from. And all along you thought it was Walt Disney.

Let’s hope the leprechauns take March 17 off. That way we can all have a pleasant, mischieffree St. Patrick’s Day.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY BLARNEY AND BELIEFS

By John Crossen

To most of us, St. Patrick’s Day is a day for wearing green, shamrocks, green beer and more than a few green faces the morning after. But let’s jump into my time machine and set the “goback gauge” to the early 17th century. That’s when it became an official holiday celebrating Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland.

We often see St. Patrick portrayed with a staff in one hand and a shamrock in the

Have you heard BOB lately?

BOB listened to you!

12 March 10, 2017 - The Kawartha Promoter

other. Historians claim that the three-leafed shamrock may have been sacred to the pagan Irish of the time, representing their top three deities: Abellio, Airmid and Amaethon.

St. Patrick cleverly repurposed them as a portrayal of the holy trinity. He is said to have used his version of the shamrock to explain Christian concepts and convert many to the Roman Catholic faith.

So what’s with the colour green?

The colour green has been associated with Ireland since at least the 1640s, when the green harp flag was used by the Irish Catholic Confederation. Green ribbons and shamrocks have been worn on St. Patrick’s Day since at least the 1680s.

Religions aside, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated as a national holiday in the Republic of Ireland as well as in Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada. Mind you, the rest of Canada celebrates, too. After all, we wouldn’t want to miss another opportunity to down a few pints would we?

Continuing on a party-like note, St. Patrick’s Day provides a break for those who participate in Lent. For Saint Patrick’s Day, all restrictions on food and drink are put aside. Yippee, hamburgers and beer again!

GIVE THEM A PIECE OF YOUR MIND

One of the top 10 priorities for City of Kawartha Lakes Council is to establish a Corporate Customer Service Standard for the municipality.

To help them do that, they’ve created a survey for the public’s feedback on their customer service experience with any department, division or contact with the City.

The purpose of the survey is for residents and visitors to provide input on the three main communication channels – in person, telephone and the internet.

The survey is available online at www.city. kawarthalakes.on.ca, in hard copy at all Municipal Service Centres, Libraries and City Hall. The survey will be open until March 31, 2017.

Survey responses will be reviewed to assist in developing the Corporate Customer Service Standards which will be presented to Council in June 2017.

SPRING THAW’S A’COMIN’

The City’s Emergency Services, Public Works, and OPP are readying for the possibility of flood activities this season. Activities involved in the ramp-up period include preparing sand bag supplies and ensuring fire vehicles, ATV’s and watercraft are available from Fire Rescue Services and OPP. The Otonabee Region Conservation Authority and Kawartha Conservation regularly issue watershed statements, based on the weather forecasts and existing conditions.

At this time of year, all local rivers, streams, and lakes are extremely dangerous. Riverbanks are slippery and unsafe. Ice cover, where it exists, is becoming unstable and hazardous.

Officials warn residents to stay away from water bodies, as well as water structures such as bridges, culverts, and dams. Children should be warned of dangerous conditions and caregivers should maintain a close watch on children who are outside.

Residents are encouraged to prepare their home, cottage or property in case of flooding. Information is available on the City’s website at http://www.city. kawarthalakes.on.ca/flood-information.

Plant Power By Julia Taylor

It must have been the hottest day of the year, or at least it felt like it because I was VERY pregnant. I had the curtains drawn and all of the fans we owned pointing at me, and still I was a miserable, hot mess.

I didn’t want to do a thing - it was getting closer to dinner time, and I knew I didn’t have any meat in the house. I didn’t want to drive to town and get meat (we lived in Pleasant Point at the time), and I certainly didn’t want to cook near a hot stove, but I was craving a taco!!

So I asked Google. “I want a taco but I have no meat!” Google knows everything! It led me to a plant based cooking website and a walnut taco “meat” recipe.

Really? That’s it!? No thawing, no standing • 1 Cup walnuts • ½ Cup of sundried tomatoes (soaked if dried) • ½ teaspoon cumin • ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder

• ¼ teaspoon of salt • Pinch of chili and cayenne if you like it hot Process in food processor until well combined, but still chunky.

beside a stove or waiting until after 5pm when the power gets cheaper. Just process and serve with your favorite taco toppings (guacamole, cilantro, salsa, and spinach are my favorites)!!

They were delicious! Fit for a pregnancy craving and healthy to boot!

Later on I discover that eating plant-based food is good for my health, and the health of the environment. As just a small example, it is said that it takes 660 gallons of water to produce just one hamburger and equals driving my car 515km!.

Not to mention eating less meat reduces my risk of cancer, heart disease, obesity, and saves me money!

Meatless Monday anybody? Don’t have a cow man!

Horoscopes

March 10 to 23 Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Health and fitness should be your primary goals during this zodiac phase, Aquarius.

Take time to take care of yourself and everything else will fall into place.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) The full moon on March 12 during the Pisces sign, represents to the First Nations a time to balance your life. It is the Sugar Moon when the sap is running. So what will you do? Find what ‘balance’ means to you in your life, and then make the necessary changes.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) You need to decide, Aries, which is more important: your reputation or your desire to do what’s right, even if that means losing friends. This is not a frivolous question, because our friends are important, and give much meaning to our lives. So are your beliefs. It’s up to you.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Don’t live in the ‘past’ lane, Taurus! Keep on moving forward, believing that each day will bring new rewards and new opportunities to make your dreams come true!

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Your present job may not be what you believe you were meant to do. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it and learn from it and keep searching for work that will be more fulfilling.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Don’t take things personally, dear Cancer. We sense some slings and arrows may be coming your way. Stay the course and don’t give up on your own values.

705-738-2110

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Take the time now, Leo, to broaden your interests, discover new paths which will open to you, if you let them. This doesn’t necessarily mean you need to abandon all your past passions. Just be on the look-out for something new!

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Don’t let those butterflies in your stomach stop you from doing the job, Virgo! You cannot move ahead without some risk, but you will never get ahead unless you make the effort to start.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.”: Albert Camus. Yes, Libra, winter is dragging on! But remember these words and know that spring, and summer, WILL come, as always.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Scorpio is a water sign, being emotionally reserved, yet intense and sensitive. There is nothing wrong with any of this, as long as these traits do not spoil your relationships. Be aware and watch how your interactions unfold.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) You deserve a break, Sag! You have been working very hard and the results are in!

Great job! So take some time off to rejuvenate – and then go make the world a better place, like only you can.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan 20) You need to stop judging yourself against others. You are multi-talented and people appreciate you for what YOU are. We all have strong points and weak points. Trust us – the people who count are proud of you and what you have accomplished.

Roots & Ramblings

By Linda Friend

The robins are back and so is your Bobcaygeon Horticultural Society. After a winter “sabbatical”, we are now busily planning for 2017, Canada’s Big Year.

Look for a celebratory display of red and white tulips (if the squirrels didn’t find all of them this winter) and mass plantings of Canada’s colours in the 30 gardens that the Society maintains throughout the community as well as at Kawartha Settlers’ Village.

The meetings of the Society are held at Knox Presbyterian Church on the 3rd Thursday of each month, with the exception of December, January, July and August. Speakers for 2017 include these knowledgeable individuals: Hazel Cook, peonies; Hugh Moreshead, vermicomposting; Dan Cooper, gardening from a hammock. Refreshments are served at 6:30pm, followed by the 7pm meeting. Visitors are welcome and new members are appreciated!

Other activities include these summer events: May 27-Plant Sale; July 8-Garden Tour, Tea and Market; August 9-Flower & Vegetable Show and Tea.

Be sure to mark them on your calendar!

Details and dates are found on our website at www.bobcaygeonhorticulture.com

Consider joining your local horticultural society.

There are active groups in these communities: Omemee, Coboconk, Ennismore, Lakefield, Lindsay and Fenelon Falls. You will enjoy the speakers and the shared interests of other members. And perhaps you will wish to be involved in organizing events, planting and maintaining public gardens and promoting environmental concerns.

Agritourism

Submitted by Christine Briggs

Fashions come and go in farming, just as in other industries. Crops or breeds become popular for a while, then wane or disappear. But some trends in agriculture have shown staying power.

According to Statistics Canada, about 32% of Canadians lived and worked on farms in 1931; now that number is 2.2%, even as the total population has increased.

But with improved equipment, seeds, livestock breeds and farming techniques, farms themselves have grown, from an average of 200 acres in 1931 to more than 800 acres today.

There’s a complementary trend emerging, too—one that focuses on small-scale, specialized production of meat, fruits and vegetables, honey, maple syrup, eggs and more. In many cases, these farms have expanded into agritourism, which caters to a booming desire to connect with the people who produce their food, and to enjoy authentic encounters in new places. It has the added benefit of diversifying income so farmers are not dependent on a single crop or product.

Local examples include pick-your-own fruit farms, corn mazes, small shops or stands selling items baked or harvested on-site, and farm bed and breakfasts. One of the most prominent agritourism businesses in Kawartha Lakes is South Pond Farms, located on Gray Road near Bethany.

“We’ve worked very hard to build an agritourism experience that incorporates what we and our neighbours produce,” says Danielle French, the

ELECTRIC Owner: Kirk Kimble ECRA/ESA Lic. 7009784

owner of South Pond. “We spend well over 65% of our food dollars in the local community to buy apples, chicken, trout, beets, potatoes, eggs and much more. And then there’s our amazing local wine, beer and spirits.” The farm contributes herbs, greens, berries and honey from its own bees, as well as thousands of flowers from its glorious gardens. Its commitment to local and regional food has earned South Pond the coveted Feast ON designation as a “Certified Taste of Ontario.”

While some agritourism businesses are strictly family-run, South Pond requires a considerable staff to look after the kitchens, dining area, gardens, animals and property. French hired more than 30 full- and part-time employees in 2016, the majority of them local students working to support their postsecondary education.

Traditional farming is still the backbone of the local economy, but South Pond and others are helping redefine what it means to be a working farm—one that also provides agritourism, bringing a new influx of tourists and customers to our beautiful corner of Ontario.

Health & Wellness TAKE THE FIGHT OUT OF FOOD

Eating fads, digestive woes, picky eating, stress, and managing a disease or condition are some of the most common things that cause confusion and sour people’s relationship with food.

Local residents are being encouraged to tackle these issues head on and, in the process, take the fight out of food. That’s the theme that Dietitians of Canada (www.dietitians.ca) is promoting during Nutrition Month in March. The organization wants people to follow three simple steps when trying to deal with issues like food fads that complicate how they eat: • Spot the problem. Define first what’s causing your fight with food.

• Get the facts. Use facts from credible sources to decide what needs to be done to solve the problem.

• Seek support. Put the plan into action with support from a Registered Dietitian, family and friends.

“Food is so personal and emotional. As much as people may think they are a ‘foodie’ and enjoy preparing and eating healthy food, they may be making the unhealthy choice because there is so much misinformation about nutrition which is intimidating, confusing and frustrating,” says Elsie Azevedo Perry, a Registered Dietitian with the HKPR District Health Unit. “Improving your relationship with food and making sure you are eating healthy

Fernando Paiz, Denturist

starts with getting reliable information that does not promise a quick fix or involve trying to sell you something.”

Registered Dietitians are a valuable resource to turn to for healthy eating advice, as they have many years of schooling and training in nutrition, Azevedo Perry notes. To be ‘Registered,’ Dietitians belong to the College of Dietitians of Ontario, a regulatory body that holds them accountable for the nutrition information they provide people.

It’s easy to contact a Registered Dietitian at no charge. By calling EatRight Ontario at 1-877-5105102 through the week, people can get valuable

DETECTING TEEN HEARING LOSS

With so many youngsters exposing themselves to loud noise that can impact their hearing ability, it is important to develop new tests to detect adolescent hearing loss. If hearing loss is uncovered when it is mild, youngsters can be alerted to ways of modifying their behaviors that help to preserve their remaining hearing. With this in mind, researchers are currently suggesting that youngsters have their hearing checked in higher frequencies than are likely to be tested for at school or other non-professional settings.

Normally, teens are able to hear in very high frequency ranges that escape their elders’ notice.

It is important that teens’ hearing be tested in accordance with their extended hearing capability.

Loss of hearing is gradual, and usually begins with the high frequencies. If your hearing loss becomes serious enough, you may risk impairing your ability to speak clearly.

While listening to something too loudly and for extended periods of time is bad for your health, headphones better isolate the background noise, thus enabling you to listen at a lower volume.

To schedule a hearing test, please give us a call.

P.S. Some teens have used their higherfrequency hearing ability to their advantage by downloading ring tones on their cell phones that their teachers cannot hear.

and easy-to-understand nutrition advice.

Like all relationships, problems may arise that negatively affect people’s eating habits and how they feel about their food, especially when information is inaccurate or unreliable.

When it comes to food fads that promise a cure-all for everything, Azevedo Perry advises not to believe these claims. “Words such as ‘detoxify’, ‘purify’, ‘cleanse’ and ‘miracle’ should all raise flags,” she says. “Don’t accept nutrition information online without checking who wrote it and if it’s based on real science.”

GIVING KIDS A HEALTHY START

According to experts, children need a good breakfast. It not only gives them fuel for the day, but those who don’t eat a good breakfast become tired in school and have shorter attention spans, particularly late in the morning.

Is This You?

10,000 children in the City of Kawartha Lakes with breakfast, snack and lunch programs offered at schools in the Trillium Lakelands District School Board and the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland Clarington Roman Catholic District School Board.

The programs are supported by more than 250 volunteers. In 2016, these dedicated people helped raise funds, plan, prepare and serve over 170,000 breakfasts, 250,000 snacks and 120,000 lunches to students in the City of Kawartha Lakes.

In Peterborough County, breakfast programs served almost 2.4 million meals last year! Fortyseven of the 52 publically funded schools fed 17,638 students. Programs were possible because of 1,256 dedicated volunteers and the generosity of the community.
