From my perch

“My father told many stories,” recalls Altamae Eberlee. “Some of them were true.”

That’s why, when her dad—retired Bobcaygeon Doctor W.D. Thomas— decided to write a family history that grew into a book about the village, Altamae worked hard with him to ensure only the true stories made it into print.

The result is the delightful book, “Bobcaygeon: The Hub of the Kawarthas.” First published in 1980, it has gone through three hardcover editions, and is now newly available in paperback. You can get it at the Boyd Museum, the Chamber of Commerce, or The Kawartha Promoter.

Doug Thomas was uniquely situated to write Bobcaygeon’s story.

Born in a Verulam township log home, he served as a village doctor from 1934 until his death in 1985—first travelling by horse and buggy (cutter in winter), often over water or ice.

He knew the backroads and families intimately—and had an open,

wide-ranging curiousity that serves writers well. As a child, Altamae often accompanied him.

Strangely, Altamae’s family and mine had adjoining backyards when I was growing up in Whitby. I had a pre-adolescent crush on this attractive married woman and mother.

Imagine my delight on moving to Bobcaygeon to read Dr. Thomas’s book and discover she was his daughter— now living back in the village.

“I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to my eldest daughter, Altamae Eberlee,” Dr. Thomas writes in his preface. “It was she who first stimulated my interest in writing this book, then directed and encouraged me throughout the years of research and the frustrating attempts to learn the rudiments of creative writing.”

All of us who love Bobcaygeon owe her that debt of gratitude.

The foxes amongst the chickens

The paranoia about walls makes me believe that people have never heard of Hadrian’s Wall, the Great Wall of China, the Berlin Wall, the Israeli Wall, or the thousands of walls that encircled medieval cities throughout Europe.

Our forts, and trading posts, show that palisades, and protective fences, have been used throughout Canada’s history.

In most North American cities—indeed throughout the world—there are gated communities. I lived in one in Colombia, and in Guangzhou, China.

Walls serve a prudent role in keeping people safe. What is wrong with that?

The truth is that national borders, trade barriers, or walls of any kind, material or legal, are anathema to big business.

Billionaire traders are the foxes promoting globalization, and international trade. They are the only ones well fed by a policy of fenceless chicken coops.

Hearing concern was about jets

Thank you, Mr. Baldwin, for your letter dated Sept. 28 (Airports made us prosper, page 4).

I agree wholeheartedly with you that the Kawartha Lakes Municipal Airport is an asset to our community. We live near the airport and enjoy watching the planes flying over us.

As a mother, it gives me peace of mind to know that our airport is nearby for any medical emergencies that would require care elsewhere. The noise levels from our local airport have not been a concern to me.

The concern is primarily with the sound pressure levels of large jet aircraft which we do not have in our airport. As a Doctor of Audiology, I am equally interested in educating people about avoiding hearing loss due to noise exposure as well as helping people to manage their existing hearing loss.

Help my brother

My brother, Alan Horner, has entered Case Community Care Home, 28 Boyd Ave., Bobcaygeon.

He used to play the piano but now doesn’t have any music.

Also he plays chess but there doesn’t appear to be anyone in the home to play with him.

Is there anyone local who could help supply him with music, and also spend some time playing chess?

Your help would be appreciated. oliver_june37@hotmail.com June Oliver England

Driving school bylaw a mistake

I have been an instructor at Young Drivers in Lindsay for the past 15 years. I am also a resident in the City Of Kawartha Lakes since 1985.

If the proposed bylaw affecting driving instructors comes to pass (Driving school bylaw could ruin business, Page 6), then effective driving instruction will be next to impossible to teach and my job will become obsolete.

The idea of effective instruction is to make the student as comfortable as possible in as many situations as possible—driving in heavy traffic, with pedestrians, lane changes, turning at traffic lights

and parallel parking between cars.

We all know in Lindsay these conditions only occur in the downtown core.

Students must have confidence in these situations to be successful on their government road tests—and to survive on the streets after they pass the test. Proper driving instruction cannot be achieved if they can’t drive in the restricted area between 8:30 am and 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

I’ve heard it argued that we don’t need driving instructors. New drivers can learn from friends, family or neighbours. We’re just glorified taxi drivers who simply sit and watch as the student drives.

Not so.

We are trained professionals, like any teacher.

We must meet Ontario Ministry of Transportation standards. We have the ability to take physical control of the vehicle at any time to prevent the student from causing a crash.

If we are so irrelevant, why does the insurance industry give discounts to students who complete a course? Why does the government allow students to get their next level of licence four months quicker?

The answer is that we do make a difference.

We teach our students their road tests—and we give parents a sense of relief knowing their children have the skills and confidence to survive on the busy streets wherever their lives take them.

As a driving instructor, I don’t only teach new drivers. In CKL, we have a large population of seniors, who also use us to help prepare for their required road tests.

I’m wondering the cause of this proposed bylaw?

Is it because of the influx of Toronto driving schools in our area? Many residents see them as a nuisance to our town, who take away “our” road test times.

Let’s look at it from a different point of view.

They bring money to Lindsay. The cars they drive need gas. The students need food and they spend time and money at the mall.

Lindsay is a tourist town. Shouldn’t we want more people to come here?

The only way students learn is to spend time driving amongst the other drivers on the roads. They cannot learn in quiet residential streets, in parking lots or with driving simulation.

Driving is a life skill, so people need to learn from instructors who have more knowledge, better technical driving skills, are up to date with provincial and municipal rules and regulations, and are regularly tested to maintain their teaching levels.

Our third annual Thanksgiving Weekend Bake Sale was a big success. In fact, thanks to all of you, we set a record. We raised $1,400 from the sale of baked goods and tickets for give away goodies.

All the money goes to support our food bank, serving Coboconk, Norland, Kirkfield and Burnt River—and points in between.

Amazing. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts.

Local businesses can prosper

With small-business-week recognitions this month, I thought I’d let you know that my very own business has been successfully around for 10 years this October.

I remember when I first started, and how my business quickly expanded to a full service to other small businesses like mine.

I saw the need that small-business people faced—for lower quantities of product and affordable prices. Creating affordable products became part of my growth, and with the addition of new items and services, it has evolved and grown.

Customer service and my personal touch have gone a long way.

My biggest thank you goes to my customers who, in turn, referred others.

Thought you’d like to know. Thank you for supporting local businesses.

City Hall Driving school business

bylaw

could

ruin

Kawartha Lakes doesn’t need to licence a business that is already well regulated provincially, argues Norm Bailey, the director for the Lindsay, Peterborough, Cobourg and Bowmanville offices of Young Drivers of Canada.

His biggest problem with the latest draft of the city’s proposed bylaw to licence driving schools is that it would not allow driving instruction in Lindsay’s downtown area during business hours (Driving school bylaw a mistake, Village Voice, page 4).

These area and time restrictions will deter students and decimate a significant source of revenue for numerous city businesses, say both Bailey and some of his instructors.

Bailey took his concerns about the proposed bylaw before the CKL council last Tuesday, even as this issue of The Kawartha Promoter was going to press.

He told The Promoter that the Lindsay drivertesting centre regularly employs at least 11 examiners to handle the load—and is currently up to 17—while Peterborough, with a much larger population, only needs two examiners.

And that’s because instructors from the Greater Toronto Area and this end of the Golden Horseshoe often bring their students here for testing—and to practice beforehand—as allowed under Ontario drivers licencing laws, says Young Drivers instructor Ron Pringle, who has been teaching in Lindsay for 15 years.

Pringle notes that while Lindsay residents may

feel they are being inconvenienced by the volume of driver-training vehicles on their streets, they “should consider the positive economic impact of the business before council takes action that will shut it down.”

He suggests the following negative economic impacts to the City of Kawartha Lakes if the bylaw is implemented as it currently stands: • Loss of well-paid examiners’ positions. Examiners risk their lives every time they step into a vehicle, not knowing the person’s skill level, if they are in control of themselves, can function with other traffic or the extent of their knowledge of the rules of the road.

• Instructors are relatively high paying jobs too.

Depending on the student load, there are three to four Young Drivers of Canada Instructors working in the City of Kawartha Lakes at any one time.

• The food service industry will notice a drop in business as there will be less people eating in their establishments while waiting for their turn to do a road test.

• The fuel industry will take a hit as the drivertraining instructors generally fill up every second day.

• The automotive maintenance and repair industry including automotive parts stores and repair shops will see reduced business for: tires, seasonal tire changes, tire balancing, batteries, oil changes, engine maintenance, brake work, glass repairs, burnt out lights, A/C repairs, wheel alignment, etc. Drive Test Examiners check every Road Test vehicle

According to Pringle, “if the in-car program cannot be delivered in a timely and efficient manner, this will make the classroom portion of our program impractical. What student is going to incur significant expense to purchase a drivertraining program only to complete the classroom portion in one city and then travel 45 minutes to a hour (one way) to complete each in-car lesson in another town or city?”

The Ontario Drive Test Center could just as easily be closed, he suggests, and Lindsay people would be required to go to Haliburton or Peterborough for services.

TL says ‘Yes’ to MADD signs on boating

By Glenna Burns

Trent lakes council has approved the installation of four signs around the municipality asking people to contact the Ontario Provincial Police when they see boaters who are under the influence of alcohol consumption.

Some people don’t seem to understand that drinking and boating can be just as dangerous as drinking and driving, Peterborough detachment OPP officer Marc Gravelle told council in seeking permission to put up the signs. They will paid for by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Canada.

“We need the public’s help,” he said.

Final locations for the signs will be determined in consultation between the municipality and the OPP, but the Crystal Lake, Nogies Creek and View Lake boat launches are being considered.

Gift to TL to fight a silent killer

By Glenna Burns

Trent Lakes municipality received a generous gift that will save lives on Tuesday, Oct. 4, when John Gignac presented TL fire chief Don Mitchell with $5,000 worth of Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms.

Gignac, a former firefighter, told council the heart wrenching story of losing his niece Laurie, her husband Richard and their two children Cassandra and Jordan, when CO backed up into their home from a gas fireplace.

The family had been feeling ill for a while but were told by their doctor that the symptoms sounded like the flu. A week later the whole family had died in their beds.

If your home has an attached garage or carport, a gas, oil or propane heating system, or any other fuel burning device or appliance you need a CO alarm. Preferably one on each floor of your home.

Gignac promised, after his family’s tragedy, that he would keep working until everyone in Canada knew about CO alarms. He created the HawkinsGignac foundation, which supplied the alarms for Trent Lakes. Find out more at endthesilence.ca.

Eastern Ont. leaders hammer hydro costs with Wynne

The high cost of residential electricity was top of mind when members of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) and the Eastern Ontario Mayors’ Caucus (EOMC) met with Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne in Kingston recently.

Peter Emon, Chair of the EOWC and Warden of the County of Renfrew, described the meeting, requested by Premier Wynne, as “an open and

frank discussion . . . about the need for further, real relief to the high costs of electricity,” particularly for people with low or limited incomes.

“These residents simply can’t manage the financial burden caused by these soaring rates,” he said.

Emon added that “investments in road systems and energy infrastructure are just as important to smaller communities across eastern Ontario, as funding for public transit is to the major urban centres.”

Specifically, the mayors and wardens asked Wynne to: • Invest $1.5 billion over the next 20 years to expand natural gas in rural communities and farmers across eastern and southwestern Ontario.

• Improve cellular networks and create a public safety broadband network to support the expansion of mobile broadband and emergency first-responder services in eastern Ontario.

• Invest significant additional funding in critical municipal infrastructure like roads, bridges, and water and wastewater facilities.

• Help control municipal operating costs by fixing the interest arbitration system and the heavy financial burden created by the joint and several liability approach currently being taken by the courts.

Emon said the caucuses—which together represent more than a million people across the region and include both the City of Kawartha Lakes and the Municipality of Trent Lakes—“appreciated the premier’s invitation to talk to her about some of our key issues and projects.”

Fenelon Forward reconvenes

The next meeting of Fenelon Forward will be on Wednesday, Oct. 26, at 7 pm in the church hall at St. James Anglican Church.

There will be update reports and action-plan discussions for key village issues, including: • Approval of official plan amendments crucial to Fenelon Falls development; • Economic development and downtown revitalization plans; • Implementation of road improvement recommendations; • Planning process task force; • Waste-water improvement construction; • Proposals for the old arena site.

Fenelon Forward is a small team of dedicated community members committed to “the sustained reasonable growth and future of the village we love.”

The group works with local councillors Doug Elmslie and Stephen Strangway, city staff, and provincial and federal representatives and departments.

It encourages everyone to join in, speak up, and take an active part in the revitalization of Fenelon.

KC full steam ahead on permit approvals

Kawartha Conservation says it has reorganized to help address growing demands for processing development permit applications—and to be more responsive to the needs of customers and municipal partners.

“With an increase in development across the watershed, combined with a surge in real-estate activity, permit applications have risen dramatically,” said KC CAO Rob Messervey.

Staff processed and approved

318 permit applications between this January and September. That’s a 26 percent increase over the 252 permits issued for the same period last year.

He pointed out that Kawartha Conservation has not denied a single application in 2016.

“We have had our challenges at times with heavy application volumes and being able to process the number of permit applications on a timely basis,” Messervey acknowledged.

Among the organizational changes, supported by KC’s board,

is the creation of a dedicated Planning, Development and Engineering department, to be led by Ron Warne.

The authority also hired an additional Planning and Regulations Technician.

“We understand how critical it is to our customers that the permit application is both efficient and follows a common-sense approach,” Messervey said.

“We hope to see this increased level of development activity sustained into the future,” he added.

Community gardening— this year and next

Despite the challenges of a hot, dry summer, the conscientious gardeners with Environmental Action Bobcaygeon and Kawartha Community Care “have done a great job and hopefully have enjoyed the opportunity to grow their own food,” say the two organizations.

“The hot dry weather has made it more difficult to keep plants healthy and hydrated.”

The program has seven organic raised beds of various sizes at Settlers’ Village and three at Trinity United Church. None of them use pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers or other non-organic materials.

A respite group with Kawartha Community care that meets every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Trinity used the church gardens this summer. They are fully handicapped accessible, and were a great

source of enjoyment to the participants.

Water is supplied by the church but paid for by Community Care.

The gardens at Settlers’ Village are used by several individuals, each of whom has their own gardening style. There are rain barrels available for watering.

Everyone brings their own tools, watering cans, seeds, etc. The soil is topped up by Hugh Morshead from the Bobcaygeon Farmers Market.

Environmental Action Bobcaygeon and Kawartha Community Care hope to have one or two gardens available next year.

Anyone interested should phone Monica Berdin at 705-738-6218. You’ll be asked to sign a garden agreement, waiver, and guidelines to ensure commitment.

Church Doings

Blanket Exercise: Join Elder Alice Williams from Curve Lake First Nation and Rev. Frank Tyrrell at St. James Anglican Church, Fenelon Falls, on Saturday, Nov. 19 at 2 pm to take part in the “Blanket Exercise.” Participants step onto blankets spread on the floor to represent the land—and into the role of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people.

People and blankets are progressively removed to signify historic—and ongoing—events in Canada’s colonial story that harm and marginalize Indigenous peoples. The exercise helps build our understanding of our shared history as Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in Canada by walking through pre-contact, treaty-making, colonization and resistance. Fifteen to 20 people are needed as active participants who stand on the blankets; the others participate as observers. The workshop is open to all people, of all ages. There is no fee, but a goodwill offering will cover travel costs for the facilitators. Register at fenelonanglican@i-zoom. net or call 705-887-2537.

Volunteer to make food packs: The Investors Group is helping Kids Against Hunger Canada to host a food packaging event at Bobcaygeon’s Trinity United Church. Thirty volunteers are needed to setup, package 7,128 meals, and clean up. All meals will be donated to the Bobcaygeon Helps Food Bank. Contact the Bobcaygeon Investors Group office at 705-738-2422, email Shaheena.khambiye@ investorsgroup.com, or see the Facebook events page: facebook.com/events/364467400610171/

Doors open at 5 pm for the Snowflake Gala, with a cash bar followed by a delicious dinner catered by Chef Konstantine. You will be able to purchase many items and experiences through silent and live auctions and once again the evening will include the entertainment of World Champion benefit auctioneers Barb and Krista Richards.

Make your cottage safe for the winter

The Kawartha Lakes detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have some suggestions for property owners, including cottagers, to consider when tidying their properties or cleaning up the yard this fall.

Cottages and seasonal homes have been historically victim to property crimes when left unattended for periods of time. However, break, enter and thefts can occur during daytime hours when the occupants are at work or school.

So they suggest that all residents consider the following tips to make their properties less susceptible to crime: •C lose and lock all doors and windows— including your garage door; • Exterior doors should be solid core and equipped with dead-bolt locks; •D on’t hide keys outside your residence; • Trim shrubs and trees to eliminate hiding places;

•O utside lights should illuminate all entry points; • Use an engraver or other permanent means to mark identifiers on valuable items; • Keep a record of important serial numbers; • Keep large amounts of cash or jewelry in bank or safety deposit box; • Consider installing a security system, or if you have one, make sure it’s working and use it.

Seasonal residents should consider the following additional tips: • Keep properties maintained so they look occupied; • Have someone check on the property when you’re away.

Be sure you report all incidents of theft, attempt break and enters and actual break and enters—and suspicious vehicles and persons—no matter how insignificant they seem. Call the OPP at 888-310-1122.

Minaajim: Good Stories from Curve Lake First Nation BINAAKWE GIIZIS

As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka

This is the time of year we know as BINAAKWE GIIZIS, which means “falling leaves moon.”

We are very much in tune with the cycle of the moons. Each moon has a name, similar to how the Roman calendar is divided in months, and then divided into different seasons as well.

But instead of four seasons, we have six that I know of. These seasons are more in line with the activities and movements of animals and the cycles of the plants from blooming to resting.

This is also a very spiritual time of year—when a certain star cluster known as the Pleiades comes closest to the earth. Therefore spirits are closer to us.

Prayer is intensified at this time of year as the connection between the Sky World and Mother Earth is at its closest.

The moon is also at her closest to earth at this time. BINAAKWE GIIZIS is a harvest moon, a time of activity when the animals and plants give of themselves more freely for food.

WAABIMIIN (apples), OKOSIMAAN (pumpkins), OKOSIMAANENS (squash), and MANDAAMIN (corn) are part of the Anishinaabe harvest. This is a beautiful time of year when Mother Earth is in her finest dress, showing off her spectacular true colours.

This is also the time of hunting, although things are much different now. My people hunted for thousands of years without imposed, outside government regulations.

Our system of governance was in line with supporting sustainable food sources for our people.

Through relationships of deep respect and gratitude, we hunted various animals who continued to give our people clothes, shelter and food.

I am reminded of one of the Elders telling me about a man who was known to have hunted deer without any weapons. He would go into the bush and hang his clothes up for a few days until they had no smell.

He would also do a sweat lodge ceremony, not only to commune with the spirit of the deer, but also to rid his body of toxins and any smells.

Masking his smell, three or four days later he would come out of the bush with a deer.

What an amazing way to hunt. This man killed that deer through patience, meditation, and a thorough knowledge of the deer, who would then freely give itself up to him through a process of spiritual recognition and connection.

We have a very close relationship with the deer.

We depend on that animal. However, the deer can survive without the human.

We have to be so careful. We are an entity that was introduced here on earth into a system that was already operating very well—where we have to take care. We have so much respect for the animals who sustain us.

I see more and more that hunting is becoming “macho,” and trophy hunting seems to be a big thing.

My people never hunted simply for sport. The taking of a life for food is a very sacred relationship.

We have a deep gratitude for all the animals that sustain us.

This time of year is also a time of ceremony as well. BINAAKWE GIIZIS is a time for us to give many thanks to the many things that give us a good life.

It is also a time of fasting for a dream of insight to learn more about the culture in depth . . . but that is another story.

Remembering Indigenous women

Members of the Bobcaygeon Truth and Reconciliation group gathered at the intersection of CKL Roads 36 and 49 on Oct. 4 to mark a day to remember Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. After many years of growing pressure and concern, the federal government has announced an inquiry

into this situation. Indigenous women are three-to-four times more likely to die a violent death than Canadian women in general.

Film’s a love letter to a texting, meddling mom

Susan Sarandon is the texting, meddling mom in The Meddler, the latest movie to be

screened by Fenelon’s Films by the Falls. You can catch it Oct. 25.

“Of course, it’s about a mom that can drive you crazy sometimes by caring too much,” says writer and director Lorene Scafaria. “But it’s also about what she’s doing when you’re not calling her back.”

Mom’s “caring energy” needs to go somewhere, and her redirected meddling, like unstoppable water, seeks new paths.

Rose Byrne costars as the daughter struggling to find peace in a relationship that’s gone techno.

Doors open at 6:30 pm at Fenelon Falls Secondary School, 66 Lindsay St. The film rolls at 7:30.

Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door, or after Oct. 11 at Sweet Bottoms. For more information please visit filmsbythefalls.com.

It’s Easy Being Green Spare that tree

By Julia Taylor

I knew my first house was “the one” as soon as I walked into it. The only thing I didn’t like about it was a large tree blocking all the sun in the backyard.

Fast forward a few years after I purchased the home—to when I had some money in the bank. I wanted that shade-maker cut down.

I called a few people for quotes, but the first man who came out, took a look and told me he wouldn’t do it.

“It’s a perfectly healthy tree,” he said. “Do you know how much this mature tree does for the whole community? It doesn’t just belong to you.”

Well, that was weird. Why would someone turn down work?

The tree was mine; it was on my property. I hired the next guy.

Finally, sunshine in my back yard—a lot of sunshine. So much sunshine, in fact, that the following summer my air conditioning just couldn’t keep up, even though it had worked fine in previous years.

I spent a bunch of money in energy and repair bills, and eventually had to buy a new air conditioner.

And without that tree, the ravine just behind my property line dried up. It created a desert eyesore where once had been a lush semi wetland that attracted all sorts of wildlife.

Now my neighbours and I could see each other— and they no longer had shade either. Needless to say

they weren’t very neighbourly after that.

The following winter was a chilly, windy one, and my home all of the sudden needed new windows and other repairs to keep it warm.

To top it all off, when I tried to resell, it took a very long time. The feedback was that with no shade in the backyard, it wasn’t very child friendly.

Well, I guess that first guy was right.

Kawartha Lakes home listings lowest in 1/4 century

New residential listings in the Kawartha Lakes Real Estate Association’s multiple-listing system totaled 128 units in September—which is down 37 percent from last year.

It’s the lowest level for new listings in September in more than 25 years.

Overall supply is currently running near record lows. There were just 234 active residential listings on the system at the end of September, dropping 58 per cent from 2015.

Nonetheless, home sales through the Association’s MLS system remained strong in September, only slightly below last year’s record levels and still the second best September ever, with just four sales less than the record for the month.

Agents sold 146 units, which is only a three percent decrease from last year.

Some 1,348 homes have traded hands in the first nine months of this year, which is an increase of 6 percent from 2015 to ‘16. It looks like 2016 will set a new annual record.

Horoscopes

For Oct. 21 – Nov. 3 Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) As we approach the end of another season, it is a time to look forward, not back, dear Aquarius. Helen Keller tells us—“Often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.” Try to find the open door.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Ageism comes in many forms.

It can rear its head towards young people who are trying to make their mark in the world. Or it can turn on the elderly, reducing them to their past glories. Beware, Pisces.

Recognize the worth in everyone, regardless of their age.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) There is no such thing as an unimportant, boring day. There is something in every hour and every minute, Aries, for you to discover and in which to take pleasure. Make the most of these times.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Choice is a powerful tool, Taurus. It can mean all the difference in the world, but it is something that can be taken for granted when we have it.

So choose wisely and be thankful you can.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Your love life is about to take an interesting turn, Gemini. Are you ready?

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) “Nobody made a bigger mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little”—Edmund Burke. Do not sit idle, Cancer, waiting for the chance to create something monumental or save

the world by curing cancer. Do some small act of kindness whenever and wherever you can. It all adds up.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) You are known for your gentle spirit and heart of a lion when it comes to working for and with your community. You may not realize how much you are appreciated, but you are. Keep it up.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) What may seem like an inconsequential remark by a stranger, may in fact, have great meaning for you later, Virgo. Pay attention to it, and do not dismiss it lightly.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Libra. Enjoy the little things that fancy your heart, and treat yourself to these little things.

Live, live, live.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) If you are waiting for a rich relative to leave you an inheritance, or for the big lottery win, it may be a while. Use your financial wherewithal NOW to save for the future, Scorpio —and always plan ahead.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) You are working very hard these days, dear Sag. We know it is important work, and it will, indeed, pay off in the future. But try not to over think.

Try not to dwell on the negative, or you will lose your creativity. Most of all, believe in yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan 20) Please take care of yourself, Capricorn. Life is nothing without health, and you cannot enjoy anything—your job, your family, the beauty of nature—without a happy mind and body.

Health & Wellness Free drive-through flu shots in Lindsay

The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit is offering a free “drive-through” flushot clinic to accommodate individuals with special needs—but you need to book right away to get in.

Space is limited, so you’ll need an appointment, which must be made no later than 4 pm this Friday, Oct. 21. Call the Health Unit toll-free at 866-8884577, ext. 1507.

The drive-through clinic will be held in Lindsay at Polito Ford Lincoln (Kent Street and Highway 7).

“Often people with certain medical conditions or special needs are the ones who most need to get a flu shot every winter,” says Marianne Rock, Manager of Communicable Disease Control, Epidemiology and Evaluation with the HKPR District Health Unit.

“These clinics are tailored to make it as easy as possible for them to be vaccinated in the comfort of their own vehicle.”

Drivers and caregivers can also get their flu vaccination at the same time.

The drive-through clinics are for people who: are frail with significant difficulty walking, use a wheelchair, are recovering from back or heart surgery, are recovering from a stroke or brain injury,

have serious auditory/visual conditions, require a guide or companion dog, are oxygen dependent, are developmentally/mentally challenged, or have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

For others, free flu shots will soon be available from local health-care professionals and pharmacists.

For more information, call the Health Unit at 866888-4577 or visit hkpr.on.ca.

Seniors get your free shingles vaccine too

Ontario has begun funding free shingles vaccines for people aged 65-70. And many local healthcare providers are ready to provide these important vaccinations.

“Many of our healthcare providers have already ordered stock of the shingles vaccine so we’re ready to immunize patients who are eligible,” says Peterborough Family Health Team Medical Director Dr. Kaetlan Wilson.

“During the same visit we can also advise them on getting the flu shot and Adacel, both of which offer excellent protection and are publicly funded.”

All adults are also eligible for a single, one-time dose of Adacel, which protects against pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus and diphtheria.

Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, affects

more than 42,000 people every year in Ontario and can cause complications such as loss of vision and debilitating nerve pain.

Studies show that the vaccine is highly effective when seniors are vaccinated between the ages of 65 – 70 years. This new program is based on recommendations from Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization and Ontario’s Provincial Infectious Diseases Advisory Committee on Immunization.

If you qualify for the shingles vaccine, contact your primary-care professional. If you don’t have one, call the Routine Immunization Clinic at Peterborough Public Health, 705-743-1000, ext.

Heal the cell to get well

By Benjamin Stone

HYPERSENSITIVE TO SOUNDS

The term “hyperacusis” is used to describe people who find the sounds of everyday life to be intrusively loud, uncomfortable, and even painful.

It is estimated that about two percent of the population suffers from this problem. A minority of this percentage is severely affected, while the rest report that hyperacusis makes it difficult for them to concentrate or promotes tension or even anger. This hypersensitivity to everyday sounds has been linked with tinnitus (ringing in the ears), migraines, head injury, Lyme disease, William’s syndrome, and Bell’s palsy. It is important that symptoms of hyperacusis be reported and any potentially related medical conditions diagnosed.

Contrary to common belief, treatment of hyperacusis rests with sound therapy, not earplugs.

Sound therapy can retrain the auditory processing center of the brain to accept everyday sounds. This involves the use of a noise-generating device worn on the affected ear or ears. Those suffering from hyperacusis may be uncomfortable with placing sound directly in their ear, but the device produces “white noise” that is barely audible. To schedule a hearing test, please give us a call. Our team is committed to providing you and your loved ones with clear and up-to-date solutions.

P.S. Sound training for treating hyperacusis consists of slowly and gently reintroducing sounds to those who have shut themselves off from the everyday sounds that they find so irritating.

Today we discuss how to reverse disease and heal the body.

In short, all we have to do is kick the biotoxins, heavy metals, and infections to the curb. Remove these interferences, and the body heals itself.

I’ve already explained how toxins cause cellular inflammation and block the body’s natural ability to expel toxins from its cells. The toxins also inhibit the body’s ability to absorb the vital nutrients that are needed for survival.

Eventually, this path leads to collapse in the regulation of our immune systems, and allows even more toxins to invade the body. It’s a vicious cycle that spirals into various symptoms and disease states, both physical and mental.

Let me start by saying a healthy diet is essential to this process, whether it be a completely raw, vegan, plant-based diet or a healthy ketogenic (highfat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate) diet.

In either case, you must be very sure to consume vast amounts of healthy fats as a primary fuel source, plus tons of nutrient dense nonstarchy vegetables—especially leafy greens—and a moderate amount of clean protein.

In most cases, however, a healthy diet alone will NOT be the only solution to clearing the body’s toxic burden. You’ll also need the right blend of herbal supplements, with additional critical nutrients, to open detox pathways, remove the toxic sources, repair the cellular membranes and quell cellular (or systemic) inflammation.

This supplement protocol will help bathe

New Patients Welcome Emergency Care- Root Canals Implants - Wisdom Teeth Extractions

the cells in nutrients and boost the health and production of the mitochondria (energyproducing parts of your cells), and will also re-establish cellular methylation (a process requiring specific nutrients that helps us with thinking, repairing DNA, turning genes on and off, fighting infections and getting rid of environmental toxins).

It is also essential, in this process, to use true binders to permanently grab the toxins as they are released and carry them out of the body to prevent auto-intoxication and potential exacerbation of symptoms.

This cellular treatment protocol, known as “True Cellular Detox”, is characterized by going upstream (or deeper) into the cellular level. We must go beyond the customary excretory organs (like the liver and kidneys) to unblock, detox, nutrify and heal the cell.

Exploring and experiencing cellular detox may just be the missing link to your wellness challenges.

Until you heal the cell, you’ll never get well.

Benjamin Stone is a certified Hippocrates Health Educator, a plant-based nutritionist, and a bio-energy and holistic health practitioner, focused on the whole human experience and specializing in true cellular detoxification.

Butts a health and environmental hazard

By Dearbhla Lynch

If the risks of deadly second-hand cigarette smoke are obvious, why don’t we realize the harm posed by the trillions of used cigarette butts tossed out every year?

The “t” in trillions isn’t a typo. A study published this year in the Tobacco Control medical journal suggests nearly five trillion cigarette butts are thrown away globally each year, making them “the most commonly discarded waste product in the world.”

The problem is not trivial. Would we use the same approach for disposing of old pesticides, medical waste or unused paints as we do cigarette butts? Likely not.

Discarded cigarette butts are more than an eyesore. They end up tossed onto the ground, leeching into soil, or getting washed into storm

drains where they pollute water.

Cigarette butts can also be toxic to young children, pets and wildlife. If a child swallows one, the nicotine can be poisonous or lead to vomiting, nausea, gagging, and a pale or flushed appearance.

The same goes for animals.

The paper and tobacco in butts may be biodegradable, but filters take longer to break down.

The environmental threat posed by cigarettes can last for years.

Then there is the potential fire hazard of tossing a still-lit cigarette butt out a car window or flicking it into bushes. Imagine the damage that could be done (and too often is done – ed.) in extremely hot and dry conditions like last summer.

In October, Toronto City Council approved a bylaw requiring business owners to clean up cigarette butts outside their establishments or install outdoor disposal bins for butts. Failure to obey could result in a $300 fine.

In Vancouver, a butt-recycling pilot program has been operating since 2013, with more than 100 receptacles set up around the downtown area for smokers to dispose of their butts. To date, more than 200 pounds of cigarette butts have been collected for recycling.

Smokers can do their part too by ensuring cigarette butts are completely extinguished and safely disposed of in ashtrays. While these butts will likely wind up in municipal landfills, at least they will be in engineered facilities designed to safely store waste.

By butting out completely, smokers can make an even bigger difference by cutting off the source of the problem. While quitting is never easy, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit (hkpr.on.ca) has many quit-smoking support programs and resources to help.

Let’s act. Cigarettes are both a health and environmental hazard.

Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit.

Welcoming Dr. Khan to Woodville

Dr. Muhammad Khan is coming to the Woodville Medical Centre. He will take over care for Dr. Maria Cescon’s patients when she retires in early November.

“I am delighted that Dr. Khan has agreed to care for all patients in my practice,” said Cescon. “I will be able to begin my retirement with the knowledge that my patients will have no gaps in their ongoing care needs.”

She went on to commend the Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative (KLHCI) for “all their excellent work to recruit family doctors to our area. It has been a pleasure to work together to facilitate Dr. Khan’s arrival.”

Khan has a Specialty Certificate in Internal Medicine from the Saudi Arabian Commission for Health Specialties, a General Internal Medicine degree from the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland—and completed a Family Medicine Residency at the University of Western Ontario in 2015.

Khan and his wife have two sons and say they are looking forward to “putting down roots” in the community.

Recruitment and Retention Coordinator for KLHCI Cindy Snider said she first met Khan during a recruitment event in 2013. “I am always very proud to represent KLHCI and the City of Kawartha Lakes when attending recruitment events throughout the

province, particularly when they are the beginning to a successful recruitment.”

Khan will join the doctors of the CKL Family Health Team, working with the team’s nurse practitioners, family health nurses, dietician, pharmacists, psychologist, clinical social workers, occupational therapist and respiratory therapist to provide complete health care.

KLHCI is a non-profit, charitable organization whose mandate is to recruit and retain family doctors for the City of Kawartha Lakes. For more information or to offer support, contact Snider at 705-3286098 or info@kawarthalakesdoctors.org. Or visit kawarthalakesdoctors.org.

Ahoy kids, canine pirates grace graphic novel

Local author Kevin Frank will be at the Lindsay Public Library, 190 Kent Street West, on Saturday, Nov. 5, to talk about Scurvy Dogs, his graphic novel for kids who like silly books.

Aimed at the middle grades, Scurvy Dogs tells the story of four dogs, Captain Hooktail, Chubbs, Patch and Tinkles, who search for treasure (bones) and battle their sworn enemies (cats) across the seven seas in their shopping-cart ship.

Frank will also be happy to answer questions, sign books, and show off samples of his original art.

He’ll be there from 10 am to noon.
