As Integrity Commissioner, Charles will provide written advice to Members of Council and local boards respecting their obligations under the Code of Conduct. Charles will also review and investigate complaints with a focus on resolving the issues.

Charles and the ADR Chambers team will endeavour to complete investigations of potential breaches to the Code of Conduct within 90 days.

To help Council more fully understand the Code of Conduct and the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act, an educational session will be held in the coming

months and made available to the public. An annual report stating the number of cases addressed over the year, along with any recommendations to improve the complaint process or the Code of Conduct will also be provided by ADR Chambers.

TL COUNCIL NOTES

By Glenna Burns

Trent Lakes Council chamber was packed with citizens for the October 1 regular meeting of council.

Two items on the long agenda were of particular interest; one was a Public Meeting regarding a trailer park expansion at Melody Bay; the second was a bylaw proposal to prevent private companies constructing berms on municipal road allowances.

Parkbridge Lifestyle Communities Inc. (Melody Bay) was the subject of a very animated public meeting as residents of the trailer park complained Shelley Bertram Fallis

about the lack of concern the park owners had for those living there. The proposal is to increase the numbers of trailers in the park (exact numbers unclear) by cutting trees buffering a local aggregate quarry. The common complaint was that the park owners failed to demonstrate any ‘good will’ or ‘failed to act as a contributing member of the local community’.

Councillor Terry Lambshead felt that moving trailers closer to a quarry was poor planning. Councillor Kim Letto and Deputy Mayor Ron Windover agreed.

Next steps will send the complaints and information back to staff for further investigation.

The second big draw at council was the delegation represented by lawyer Eric Gillespie requesting council consider creating a by-law that makes it clear that the municipality has exclusive control over road allowances. Gillespie reminded council that because there was no clear by-law regarding road allowance uses the Dewdney Mountain Farm quarry proponent, the opposing resident appellants, the Municipality and its taxpayers spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in courts debating haul route feasibility and noise mitigation using berms along Quarry and Ledge Roads.

The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (former Ontario Municipal Board) ruled that there were too many dangers involved in berm construction in residential areas and dismissed the quarry proposal.

A number of cottagers’ associations and citizens have requested council consider creating a by-law to make sure this issue does not happen again. Gillespie pointed out that since there were no new applications

currently before council, now was their window of opportunity to get this clarified in law. Three councillors supported going ahead with exploring a proposed bylaw on road allowance uses.

Councillor Carol Armstrong felt it was important for council to consider what taxpayers were requesting and get legal opinion on the issue. She was supported

by Councillors Letto and Lambshead.

Council also received a delegation from Mike Boysen, a Buckhorn Sports Pad volunteer, who was seeking help from the municipality with grant applications from Jumpstart. His request was granted.

The delegation from Peterborough County Engineering and Design regarding a Review of the Sign By-law was not so well received by council when they heard that the problem of too many signs would be thrown back at them after years of waiting for a County by-law.

Kawartha Land Trust presented its success story in the creation of John Earle Chase Memorial Park and thanked the municipality for granting money to build a parking lot at the site. The park is now open to the public after extensive clean up, planting of native species and trail work.

IMPORTANT LECTURE SERIES

By Glenna Burns

This past summer, the final report on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls was released for public scrutiny. After two years of gathering evidence from 2,380 family members, survivors of violence, experts and Knowledge Keepers, the report issued 231 individual Calls for Justice directed at governments, institutions, social service providers, industries and all Canadians.

A group of women involved in the Truth and Reconciliation Community Bobcaygeon spent several months reviewing and discussing the report. It was a moving and difficult journey to read the testimonies and feel the loss so many families have experienced.

Nonetheless, we would recommend that Canadians read the report to better understand the claim that the systematic assault on Indigenous women in Canada has been an act of genocide. It’s a harsh truth that all Canadians must accept and act upon.

To further the discussion, as part of its Pine Tree Talk lecture series, the Chanie Wenjack School for Indigenous Studies at Trent University is hosting Dr. Pamela Palmater in a free event on October 30 from 7 to 8:30 pm. The lecture, which takes place in the Science Complex lecture hall Room 137, will focus on First Nation rights and ending genocide against Indigenous women and girls.

Dr. Palmater is a Mi’kmaw citizen and member of Eel River Bar First Nation. She has been a practicing lawyer for 20 years and currently holds the position

STEP UP TO THE PLATE

Submitted by Cathy Wilcox

According to Jim Outram, there is nothing better than a Tuesday evening out, playing a friendly game of slo-pitch softball. Jim has been playing and coaching baseball in Bobcaygeon for more than 50 years and says that the town is fortunate to have great facilities – a well-maintained ball diamond with park lighting and clean washrooms.

It’s more than just the facilities that keep visiting teams returning for friendly exhibition games. Teams from Keswick, Scarborough and Lindsay return each summer to enjoy the camaraderie, friendly competition, the BBQ and corn roast hospitality of the Bobcaygeon team.

“Freedom Fifty-Five” is the over-55 Bobcaygeon team’s name, although not all players are enjoying retirement yet. The team welcomes men and women, and has players who drive from as far as Lindsay for the Tuesday evening games. Now in his early 80s and still coaching, Jim wants others to know that being involved with the team has great benefits. Being active, engaging with old and new friends and supporting

Federal Election coverage Exercise Your Right

By Deb Crossen

I have voted in every municipal, provincial and federal election since I was 18. That’s a lot of years.

For this federal election, I took a leap and decided to apply to work in a polling place for Elections Canada.

My application was accepted and, on Monday, October 21, I will be a Central Poll Supervisor at the Cavendish Community Centre.

I made a commitment to three 3-hour training sessions. One for the CPS role, one for Deputy Returning Officers and Poll Clerks and one to observe a training for DROs and PCs. The trainer took us through all our responsibilities and a step-by-step guide to the process of making sure electors are able to exercise their right.

Some things I didn’t know that I’d like to share with you:

On election day, electors can only vote at their assigned polling station. This is unlike provincial elections, where you can cast your ballot at any polling station.

Polling places are open on October 21 from 9:30am to 9:30pm. If you’re in line at 9:30pm, you will be allowed to vote. But if you show up at 9:31pm, you’ll be out of luck.

You will need some ID to prove your identity and address. The easiest way is to bring your driver’s licence or other Canadian government ID with your photo, name and current address. You can also have your Voter Information Card and Ontario health card.

At least one of these needs to have your current address. There is a long list of other documents that are accepted as ID that can be found on the Elections Canada website.

A voter cannot decline a ballot. If you show up at the polling station, you will be given a ballot. Behind the screen, it’s up to you what you do with it. You can mark it incorrectly, scribble on it or leave it blank. It will still go into the ballot box, but will be weeded out as a “rejected ballot” during the counting process.

One of the key lessons I learned is that it takes a village to put together an election. Please be patient with the workers at the polling places. We will be doing our best to help make this easy and efficient.

CHOICES FOR MP IN PETERBOROUGH-KAWARTHA

By Kirk Winter

The federal riding of Peterborough-Kawartha has unerringly thrown their lot in with the eventual governing party in nine elections since 1962. This one promises to be close, with most political pundits predicting a tight race between incumbent Liberal Maryam Monsef and Conservative challenger Mike Skinner. Skinner lost to Monsef in 2015 by almost 6,000 votes.

Declared candidates in the riding include: 1. Robert M. Bowers – Independent 2. Andrew MacGregor – Green Party 3. Maryam Monsef – incumbent Liberal 4. Alexander Murphy – Peoples’ Party 5. Candace Shaw – New Democratic Party 6. Mike Skinner – Conservative Party 7. Ken Ranney - Stop Climate Change

Peterborough-Kawartha is a very diverse urbanrural riding with a voting population that takes its politics seriously. In 2015, only 61 percent of Canadians voted, but in Peterborough-Kawartha the turnout was 74 percent, one of the highest levels of engagement found anywhere. The riding has a

October 17, 2019 - The Kawartha Promoter

curious mix of post-secondary students, seniors, blue collar workers and more and more transplanted Torontonians as Peterborough becomes a bedroom community for the GTA. There is also a very significant and influential First Nations population that local candidates ignore at their peril.

Robert M. “Bob” Bowers, an independent candidate, has run in previous elections and has spent the last 30 years railing against government bureaucracy and the government’s inability to fix societal ills. Bowers wants governments to be more accountable, and favours mandatory voting. Bowers believes he is different from other candidates because he will actually do what he promises.

Green candidate Andrew MacGregor is counting on the youth vote in the riding, powered by thousands of high school and post secondary students who have been marching for climate policies that will offer options for their futures.

Turnout of Trent and Fleming students has been hard to track with so many voting in their home ridings rather than where they go to school. MacGregor will rise and fall on that vote almost exclusively.

Liberal Maryam Monsef is currently serving as Minister of International Development and Minister for the Status of Women. As a rookie Member of Parliament, Monsef has struggled to balance a full plate of responsibilities in Ottawa and taking care of her constituency needs. Monsef is very proud of the almost $200 million in federal spending she has brought into the riding since being elected, and promises more federal money in the future.

Peoples’ Party candidate Alexander Murphy believes that the riding has not been “adequately or professionally represented” since he moved to the area in 2010 to attend Trent University. He promises to focus on the needs of the riding if successful in this election.

New Democratic candidate Candace Shaw believes that local media is doing her party a disservice by suggesting that this riding will be won or lost by either the Liberals or Conservatives.

Shaw, a manager at a local NGO and event planner, believes that voters in the riding are looking for “real change” not supplied by Skinner and Monsef. Shaw is hoping that with a multitude of all candidates meetings in the offing, people will tire of the antics of the “Big Two” and consider the NDP for a change as the riding did in 1960 and 1961 when Walter Pitman won Peterborough-Kawartha for the NDP.

Conservative Mike Skinner was acclaimed by the party for his second run at defeating Monsef. Skinner has been campaigning almost continuously since his defeat in 2015, trying to build the party brand and make local voters forget the widely discredited former Conservative member from PeterboroughKawartha, Dean Del Mastro. Del Mastro was forced

to sit as an independent when the Conservative Party removed him from caucus after Del Mastro was convicted of campaign fundraising irregularities.

Skinner was thrilled when leader Andrew Scheer stopped in the area during the summer to host a fundraiser for local candidates.

The newly formed Stop Climate Change Party will run Ken Ranney. Ranney believes that his party is the only one taking climate change seriously. It is the primary issue the party focuses on, and even if they are not elected, Ranney hopes to make climate change a key issue at all public meetings during this 40-day campaign.

Two Peterborough specific issues are being asked of candidates during their door-to-door campaigning: who has an answer to the 1 percent vacancy rate currently in Peterborough and area, and who has a plan to deal with the opiod crisis.

In 2019, 25 local residents have died of overdoses, and the Peterborough Police Service has said that the opiates issue is fuelling virtually every other crime category tabulated by the police department including theft, break and enter, prostitution and common assault.

On election night, Justin Trudeau and Andrew Scheer will be paying close attention to the voting in Peterborough-Kawartha as almost a half century of voting history has told us that as PeterboroughKawartha goes so goes Canada.

EDITOR’S NOTE: With regard to our list of candidates for HaliburtonKawartha Lakes-Brock printed in the last issue of The Kawartha Promoter, Elections Canada has declared both Grant Dewar and The None of the Above Party “ineligible to run.”

FINANCIAL ADVICE

The response from our readersto the first column by The Money Lady was very positive. Thanks to everyone who reached out. Christine Ibbotson, otherwise known as “The Money Lady”, says, “Canadians generally don’t share or brag about ideas when it comes to money, yet they really want to know what others have done to get ahead.”

Wanting to Retire

Most of us, regardless of need, want to become wealthier. There is great comfort in knowing that there is money in the bank in case of an emergency. The lack of pension plans and long-term resources for future retirement along with current high debt loads can paralyze some Canadians in their 40s and 50s.

It becomes a slow burning anxiety that continues to grow into an all-out fire of fear as the years creep closer and closer to retirement. Bottom line, you must live within your means to save more and spend less.

Having said that, you cannot defer happiness until you are retired. Create a budget to monitor daily and monthly cash flow and look for ways to trim down your lifestyle. Sometimes all it takes to start saving are some simple changes to be less wasteful with our expenses.

If you are not making enough money every month, and go to credit to subsidize your lifestyle, then you must make a change. There are only two options.

Downsize your expenses or earn more income. Don’t underestimate your potential. It is said that the fastest way for you to create more wealth is to believe in your ability to earn more. Sometimes investing in yourself, going back to school or learning something new to earn more income is a more secure investment than any mutual fund or stock-market portfolio.

Most importantly, write down a plan for the future.

What do you want? How do you want to live? Building and protecting your capital along with a vision of where you want to go, helps you insulate yourself against any hardships and creates more certainty for a comfortable future.

lets talk about your insurance sponsored by Stewart Morrison Insurance

Why PollutIon InSurance IS IMPortant.

As a contractor, your work has the capacity to cause pollution, or you could disrupt hidden contaminants while on a job. But did you know, that you can be held liable for the resulting damages? Many contractors do not know that even if they are not working with hazardous chemicals, you can still face pollution liability risks that are not covered by a general liability policy.

2 common real life scenarios: 1.environmental disruption Many contractors own on premise diesel, oil or fuel tanks to more easily fill equipment used out on the job. Even with the most top of the line tanks and equipment, a spill or leak could occur - this could cause detrimental and costly environmental clean-up costs, along with possible legal fees.

2. toxic mould formed after water damage cleanup A contractor was hired to clean up a condominium complex after a water pipe had burst causing multi-unit water damage.

After the job was completed, the contractor was sued when it was discovered that areas of drywall and insulation were wet, and toxic mould had formed, resulting in illness for a few of the tenants.

Without a Pollution Policy, remediation costs and legal fees could cost you millions of dollars crippling your business operations. For more examples of why pollution insurance is important to you and your business, call us and let us get your business protected right.

Good Stories from Curve Lake First Nation

MANOOMIN – The Good Plant (Part I)

As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka

I was a child of Curve Lake descent, raised on the lakes as a young boy. I lived with and grew up with a part of my family who always lived on the land. Today, I don’t do that much anymore, but I do it on occasion.

I do fish but I’m getting old and I’m getting tired. Now, I really only teach the younger ones how do to some of this land-based knowledge work.

Let me just say that the end of August, early September, is the season of MANOOMIN (the wild rice). Of course you have heard that we know it as a special rice, as a good plant, as a sacred plant. And some people say even part of the word MANOOMIN means ‘Manito-min’ (spirit food).

It is a special plant that was given to us thousands of years ago. The most recent direct story about it is that we were on a migration and Nanabush, the one who helped us put life together as human beings, who helped Nishnaabeg understand life and why we are here, told us that when we complete that migration into the Great Lakes from the ocean that we will find a plant that will help us and feed us and be our staple on these lakes and that it would be with us forever.

I worry about the state of that rice today because of a number of factors. When I was a kid, soon after that I would guess maybe around the time of the early 1950s,

Fall is here!

What better time to start tidying your home closets, kitchen cupboards, bathroom vanities, and other nooks and crannies in your house?

I’m Sylvianne, of “Organize 2 Downsize”.

For me, downsizing from a six bedroom house to a two bedroom one required some major work. I had “way too many things” in my larger home, stored or hidden in countless areas. Some items were new, some lightly used, others out dated, and a number of them were no longer functional. In fact, I wasn’t missing any of them, they were simply forgotten.

The mere idea of sorting and going through these forgotten items one by one made me anxious. How would I ever get through this? Sounds a little familiar?

The good news is that “I did it”, and it has been the best experience of my adult life. I became an “Organized Downsizer”.

So I believe I can help you too.

If you are ready to “get started” and want to live and breathe cleaner air in a leaner and more appealing home, check in with me. For residents of Kawartha Lakes, a free work estimate is provided.

October 17, 2019 - The Kawartha Promoter

a phenomenon happened – on Pigeon Lake especially – where people moved in to build cottages.

On the south part of that lake is an ecosystem consisting of marshes and rice – a very beautiful ecological system that housed a lot of fish and birds and muskrats, and all kinds of different things that sustain Nishnaabeg. We did eat the roots of lily pads, we ate the early shoots of various marsh plants and, of course, it was nothing to get a fish from that water within minutes of getting there. So we had a lot of free time if we went there - to do crafts as an example, which we traded. And we acquired other goods from practicing bartering and trading. As an example, we traded for farmers’ eggs and other foods that we ourselves couldn’t get. Although sometimes we would eat duck eggs that we found out on Pigeon Lake.

Anyway, at the time I remember rice was very much a dominant plant in the middle of the lake. All we had was a canoe path that went from Grenadier Island all the way to Omemee. Then settlers came and built cottages.

They had motor boats and they wanted a bigger path – and they did make one all the way from Grenadier Island to Omemee.

And back around 1908 that lake was raised 3 feet -- that did some damage.

The rice recovered. And started to form nice beds again. But subsequent to that other things also happened. Along with cottagers who built on wetland, there came the carp that was introduced as a bait fish, and they do a lot of damage to wild rice plants – we call them the underwater pig who mucks around and damages roots. However, the rice still had resilience to come back.

As I look back over the years, the biggest danger to the rice is the incident of human activity and wanting to be more active on that lake – for example, clearing the rice off the lake to waterski and go boating. Also, all of the boat activity in the lake introduced milfoil weed that spread all over the place. And so in 1975, that whole area was choked up by Eurasian milfoil, which got rid of a lot of our MANOOMIN.

We worried about that a lot. We prayed about it a lot. We sang about it a lot. We talked about it a lot but nobody else would help us…. To be continued in Part 2.

ANOTHER MILESTONE FOR COMMUNITY GARDEN

Submitted by Elly Millington

United Way for the City of Kawartha Lakes is excited to announce that its newest endeavour in Food Security, Edwin Binney’s Community Garden, has hit yet another unprecedented milestone: more than two tonnes of fresh produce donated to local social service agencies.

Crayola Canada’s unused land turned United Way CKL’s large-scale garden set out with a goal of providing food security and food literacy to people in the City of Kawartha Lakes, and the project has been an extraordinary success for its first year of operation.

Naturally, the main goal of Edwin Binney’s Community Garden is to provide fresh produce to people who need it in the City of Kawartha Lakes through social service agencies, food banks, shelters, and children’s programming agencies. Eleven different agencies received fresh produce in the first year, thanks in part to the incredible power of FoodRescue.ca.

Jessica Topfer, FoodRescue.ca Coordinator commented, “Thanks in large part to United Way CKL, we are seeing 95 percent of all donations going through FoodRescue.ca be fresh and nutritious produce – items which such non-profits might not often come by, or which can be expensive to purchase for their programming. This has helped non-profits immensely by saving them some of their already limited financial resources, but most importantly, it has given members of our community an opportunity to access good food which can provide them the nutrition and energy they need as they work toward strengthening their future.”

A partnership with the Sustainable Agriculture program at Fleming College Frost Campus has meant that the garden receives a science-based crop rotation plan which will allow even more produce in future years. Students in the Sustainable Agriculture course are also able to receive practical experience that will count towards their diploma while working on site at Edwin Binney’s Community Garden.

Plans for year two are already in full swing, with the goal of increasing produce yields and student involvement. Anyone interested in getting involved in Edwin Binney’s Community Garden should contact Elly Millington at United Way CKL by email at office@ckl. unitedway.ca or by telephoning the office at 705-8785081.

Small Business Week celebrates the contribution of small businesses to the local economy. To celebrate, the Fenelon Falls Chamber of Commerce is offering a fun and informative evening to both network with local businesses and learn more about an important and relevant topic which effects all business owners.

They will dive into the topic of: ‘Labour Force: Attracting and Keeping Employees.’ There will have two expert guest speakers; Jalyn Anderson, MBA and Sean Dooley, Labour Market Analyst. There will be an opportunity for Q&A with the experts to answer any questions you might have in regards to your business.

Jalyn Anderson is a human capital expert with 28 years’ experience.

Sean Dooley is a Labour Market Information Analyst at Workforce Development Board (WDB). He conducts local labour market research and provides relevant information to job seekers, employers, and community stakeholders in an accessible format.

Please RSVP by Thursday, October 17 to events@ explorefenelonfalls.com.

ROOTS ‘N’ RAMBLINGS

Submitted by Patty Carlson

The Day of the Dead, October 31/November 1, is a holiday celebrated throughout Mexico. On the Day of the Dead, it’s believed that the border between the spirit world and the “real” world dissolve. The souls of the dead awaken and return to the living world to feast, drink, visit and play music with their loved ones. The family members leave the deceased’s favourite foods and other offerings at gravesites or on the “ofrendas” (think small table or altar) in their homes and workplaces as well as on the street corners and sidewalks. The doorways of shops and homes are festooned with garlands made of marigolds, and celosia. Petals of marigolds are strewn about on the ground and on the “ofrendas”.

It is a very social time and people gather in the street to watch parades, listen to music and socialize with the community. During the day of November 1, they visit the graveyards and leave flowers and food at the gravesites of their departed relatives. Then the celebrations move to the public spaces filled with people dressed as Catrinas, whose makeup and costumes represent the Aztec goddess of the underworld. The flower markets are bursting at the seams with fresh cut flowers and lots of holiday treats and baking, mostly decorated with skulls or Catrinas.

It is a great time to visit Mexico and join the celebrations.

CHORISTERS’ CORNER

By April Scott

The Choristers are pleased to be back to practice.

We welcomed a new member in the Bass section recently. Each voice makes a difference and we are always looking for more of them.

If you like Christmas music, then you should come out and see what we have to offer. Bob always manages to find music that is just a little different from the usual. It is always very challenging to learn at first but over the weeks it all makes sense. So come out some Tuesday evening to the Retirement Suites on West Street at 7pm. We will give you a warm welcome and there will be muffins and coffee at break time.

Our concert will be presented early December in Trinity United Church and more information will be coming regarding this.

Since last time, Graham and Sandra Keevill sold their house and are on their way to Barrie. We will miss them both.

We hope that you have been enjoying the beautiful fall colours that happen each year at this time.

Health & Wellness CANCER CARE AT RMH RATED TOPS

Ross Memorial Hospital’s Peri-operative Team understands patients’ anxiety and the need to expedite referrals to specialist consultation and treatment.

This fall, the team is proud to be recognized by Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) as the Top Performing Hospital for Cancer Surgery Wait Times—Time from Referral to Consult.

CCO issued congratulations to the RMH team for achieving the lowest wait times in the province from referral to consultation with a surgical oncologist within all priority categories.

“Ensuring our patients have the fastest access to care is a team effort, including our staff, our surgeons, and their community office staff,” said Lori Shier, Manager of the Peri-operative Suite and Ambulatory Care Unit at RMH. “It’s our goal to provide exceptional quality patient care and experiences, and we’re proud to be a top performer in cancer care for our community.”

CITY THANKS DOC

After nearly 40 years serving patients in the City of Kawartha Lakes, on August 12 Dr. Debbie Rutherford retired from her family medicine practice.

“On behalf of Council and all residents in Kawartha

Lakes, I’d like to sincerely thank Dr. Rutherford for nearly 40 years of dedication to her patients,” said Councillor Andrew Veale. “Her contribution to improving our community is remarkable. She will be missed.”

Dr. Rutherford had practiced in the municipality since June 1980 providing care to over 1,300 Kawartha Lakes patients.

“I feel so fortunate to have spent 39 years in family practice in our wonderful community and I thank my patients for entrusting me with their medical care,” commented Dr. Rutherford.

“With deep gratitude, we thank Dr. Rutherford for her longstanding practice and commitment to her patients,” commented Barb van der Veen, President of the Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative (KLHCI). “Her dedication and caring will not soon be forgotten and we sincerely wish her the very best in her retirement.”

The Kawartha Lakes Family Doctor Recruitment program continues to actively recruit to bring additional family doctors to the City of Kawartha Lakes to support its citizens.

COULD BE A BAD FLU SEASON

The Fall may bring with it cooler temperatures, but it also brings the onset of flu season. According to the experts, this year’s flu season could be worse than other years. Data collected during Australia’s winter (our summer) and their flu season, showed they were hit particularly hard this year; with more than 300,000 confirmed cases. That, according to experts, determines what may happen in Canada this year.

The Haliburton Kawartha Pineridge Health Unit says influenza, or the flu, is caused by a specific virus that typically comes around each fall or winter. People who get the flu usually have an abrupt onset of fever, muscle aches, headache, sore throat, cough, and weakness, usually lasting two to seven days. The cough and weakness can last for up to six weeks making physical activity and even day-to-day tasks difficult.

Kids get the flu most often. The flu virus are spread mainly by droplets, when people cough, sneeze or talk. The flu virus can live on surfaces like toys, counter tops, door handles for up to 8 hours. Kids can pass the flu virus to family members before they show symptoms. Kids under 5 years of age are at greater risk of complications.

The best way to stay healthy this season is to get your flu vaccine early, wash hands often and cover coughs and sneezes. It takes about two weeks for your body to develop an immune response to protect you against the flu.

Pharmacists in Ontario can provide flu vaccine for individuals five years of age and older. There’s no word yet on when the vaccine will be available to the public; that should happen any time now. Those most at risk should receive a note from their healthcare professional and receive their shot first.

Check the local health unit’s website for updates on free flu shot clinics in our area.

THE COST OF POVERTY

Poverty costs Ontario somewhere between $27.1 and $33 billion each year. Feed Ontario’s most recent report, The Cost of Poverty in Ontario, offers an explanation as to why and how “poverty reduction is not only possible – it pays off”.

While governments estimate the cost of poverty by calculating dollars spent on programs and services for the poor, this report locates the cost of poverty in the increased health and justice system expenses incurred, and loss of tax revenue and by maintaining people in a state of poverty. Those living on low income experience poorer health for a host of

reasons, including inadequate housing, less access to medicine, and less access to quality food. The result?

An estimated cost of $3.9 billion to our health care system.

A particular part of this report, which hits close to home, is the discussion of a pattern of abandoned basic income experiments in both Canada in the US. In 1974, a basic income experiment was launched in Manitoba which brought 1,000 families out of poverty but was cancelled after running for 4 years. The data from this pilot was never analyzed until 30 years later because of fears that the research would be costly. Recently, the Ontario government prematurely cancelled its basic income pilot project, which was to test a growing notion that basic income could provide a new approach to reducing poverty in a sustainable way.

Heather Kirby, General Manager of the Kawartha Lakes Food Source says, “We need to know much more about poverty reduction investments, but this pattern of prematurely abandoning income support experiments is taking away learning opportunities. It does not allow for necessary continued adaptation and refining of approaches to reducing poverty.

Failure to commit to poverty reduction research will only continue to cost Ontario in the long run.”

The Kawartha Lakes Food Source stands by The Cost of Poverty in Ontario, in agreement with Feed Ontario that “In the end, it is impossible for an economy to ‘shrink itself bigger’ … economies can only grow themselves larger by allowing the maximum amount of participation of our population – including those living in poverty.”

The public is invited to join the Scugog Sports Hall of Fame celebrates its 13th season November 7 at the Scugog Community Recreation Centre, with doors open at 6pm. The induction ceremony begins at 7pm, as The Hall proudly welcomes its inductees: hockey standout Casey Vanschagen; former president of Port Perry District Minor Softball Carolyn Best; the 1994/95 Port Perry IGA Junior A Ringette Team; and the Warriner Curling Team.

The event is free to attend, and includes a cash bar, silent auction and a memorable evening suitable for the whole family.

AN IMPORTANT PLACE TO PROTECT

Federally listed species at risk and an additional 30 listed provincially, including the Blanding’s turtle, Loggerhead Shrike, Common Nighthawk, Little Brown Bat, Western Chorus Frog, Eastern Ribbon snake, Five Lined Skink and more.

Because of its diversity, richness, but also it’s physiographic features, the Land Between provides a wealth of ecosystem services that support the health and vitality of both southern Ontario and northern Ontario, and especially during Climate Change.

Both The Land Between bioregion and the charity received due recognition and also support in a grant awarded by Environment Canada, as one of only 15 areas across Canada chosen under the CommunityNominated Priority Places program. This project (in collaboration with 10 partners) is expected to benefit 57 species at risk, including the little brown bat, the eastern (Algonquin) wolf, and the golden-winged warbler. Details on other projects will be released over the coming months, as agreements with local partners are finalized.

“We will be using agile, innovative mapping and integrative and strategic planning, but equally importantly, we will use a collaborative and community approach to achieve many of our goals under this grant, working directly with landowners for all species, but especially when it comes to Algonquin Wolf,” said Leora Berman, Founder and Chief Officer of the Land Between charity.

You can find out more about the program at www. thelandbetween.ca.

The Land Between bioregion is found in southcentral Ontario, between the Canadian Shield and St. Lawrence Lowlands, and spanning from the Georgian Bay Coast across 9 counties to the Ottawa Valley. It is virtually the last mainly intact wilderness left in southern Ontario, and as such is a final refuge for many common species in Ontario such as the black bear, moose, river otter, osprey and ruby throated hummingbird. It is also the last stronghold for 57
