The solutions to all of these are not simple, but can be found if those we elected can work together and put their biases aside.

On another note, we have a feature on Remembrance Day in this edition of The Kawartha Promoter. As we stand in silence, let’s remember those who fought and continue to fight for freedom and those who lost their lives to protect that right.

As those who read our last issue know, I was fortunate to work for Elections Canada as a Central Poll Supervisor on October 21. I learned a lot about the election process and, at the end of a long, 19-hour day, felt rewarded for all the effort.

GREAT ROAD WORK

On behalf of the residents on McGregor Drive and WalMac Shores, I would like to thank Ron Ashmore, Doug Elmslie and the folks at CKL for the work done last Saturday on our roads.

For the last 10 or 12 years, we have had to navigate pot holes, drive around road impediments and use the shoulder to prevent damage to our vehicles.

Your work is very much appreciated by everyone.

P. Callaghan, Bobcaygeon

SCAMMERS AT WORK

We’ve all heard of the need to become more aware of attempts to fraudulently obtain our personal financial information. I, for one, thought I was quite aware of what to watch out for -- that is, until this morning.

My phone rang around 7:30am and a computerized voice informed me the call was from a bank with which we had a credit card. The call was from the bank’s Fraud Department notifying us about a suspicious activity noted on the card. After pressing “1”, I was connected to a man who really knew his job. We were well into the conversation before some things began to make me feel uneasy. When I asked him for his name, employee number and the 800-number to call the bank to verify the validity of his call, he attempted to dodge giving me the number. Any

further attempts I made to continue the conversation relative to our bank debit card, he started speaking more quickly and repeatedly tried going back to other details that had been relayed to me about online banking and debit cards being compromised.

I really began to be suspicious and repeatedly asked for the number to call to verify details he had presented about activity on our card. I eventually hung up on him and went online to check for recent activity on the card. I then called the bank’s actual Fraud Department who informed me the call was fake.

I write this today to share my experience. I feel I’m pretty much an intelligent person and would know what’s real and what isn’t. However, I failed to recognize that this morning. Whoever these hackers are, they are professional in their dirty deeds. Catching us unaware and using just enough “real info”, it became almost too easy for this guy to try to get more info from me.

Don’t be like me. If you get such a call, immediately ask for their name and the 800-number to call the bank to verify the information you are being given. I would encourage everyone not to be drawn into any kind of conversation as that is when you can inadvertently slip and present details you may not even be aware you are giving them.

As of today, I’m still older but hopefully now, much wiser.

M. Mullin, Trent Lakes

Editor’s Note: I also got a call like this but it was left on my answering machine. Kudos to this reader for being smart enough to realize it was a scam. Wise words!

THANK YOU

On behalf of the beavers, cubs, scouts, venturers, rovers and leaders of 1st Lindsay Scouts, I would like to thank all of the businesses that allowed us to raise funds in our Apple Day campaign. We greatly appreciate the continuing support from all businesses in our area.

The money raised allows us to provide a great scouting adventure to the youth of Lindsay. Together with Scouts Canada No One Left Behind program and our money raised, lower income and single parent families can now afford the fun and adventures of Scouting.

We have openings in all of our age groups so if interested send me an email at paul.parker@scouts.ca and join the fun. And once again thank you for your support.

WHAT GOES AROUND

By Glenna Burns

What do a corpse, a painter, two smugglers, a clever ghost, a green parrot, a fashion show and a bank robbery all have in common? This is the basis of the exciting plot for Ruth Clarke’s new novel, What Goes Around.

Clarke, born and raised in Bobcaygeon, has spent years honing her craft as a writer and promoter of the arts. She has written two volumes covering the history of Alderville First Nation: Before the Silence and What We Hold Dear. Her short stories have been published in magazines and anthologies.

Clarke’s debut novel, What Goes Around, is set in present day Central America. It is an exciting story of friendship, thievery, haunting and redemption. The publisher is the Canadian company, Inanna.

The novel has had several launches in Toronto with a more local book launch on Wednesday, November 6, from 6 to 8pm at Dreams of Beans, 138 Hunter Street West in Peterborough.

Trinity United Church on Saturday, November 2.

Ken Lavigne will be starting his concert at 7:30pm and we are so looking forward to it. Ken will be bringing a small musical ensemble with him which we are sure will enhance his performance.

You might still have time to pick up a flyer in a store in Bobcaygeon, which will allow you to get a $5 discount on the purchase of a ticket of $30 at the door before the concert. Tickets have been on sale at My Favourite Things and at Granny Birds Wool Shoppe our thanks to them.

If you enjoy the music of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John, you will be humming along all through the presentation.

Ken will be performing some of his own works along with his stories which are always entertaining. It would be wonderful if we can fill the house and give Ken a huge Bobcaygeon welcome. You will be able to meet and chat with Ken and his ensemble after the concert over coffee and goodies.

Some of the members of Council will be billetting Ken and the musicians - what a great way to visit with them and learn more about them.

Hopefully we will see you for a wonderful musical evening.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEEDS YOUR HELP

By Kirk Winter

The Victoria County Historical Society is busy with three different projects where input from the public at large is crucial.

W. A. Goodwin Virtual Museum Project

The Historical Society has received funding from the Virtual Museum of Canada sponsored by the federal government to tell “community stories.”

The story the local museum has chosen to tell in 2020 builds on their very successful W.A.Goodwin display that has been a cornerstone of the museum’s offerings for the last four-and-a-half years. Goodwin was a man ahead of his time. He was a conservationist, social activist and local artist passing in 1940.

Goodwin’s work detailed the beauty of the local area specializing in works depicting nature unspoiled by human activity. Goodwin, a democratic socialist, gave away many of his paintings to friends and family.

His most active period as an artist was between about 1880 and 1910, and his paintings and sketches may be in pencil, oils or water colour. Some were framed, but many were not.

As the Historical Society prepares their Goodwin display for the Virtual Museum of Canada, they have put out a call to the residents of the City of Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton to see if there are any more Goodwin paintings in private collections. These could be added to the already impressive collection of original works donated by the artist’s great-grand daughter to the Historical Society for the purpose of the virtual museum project.

If you have original artwork typically depicting a riverbank, individuals camping or canoeing or the simple beauty of the Kawarthas, check the bottom corner of the picture and look for the initials WAG. Local Oral Histories The Historical Society continues to collect oral histories from local residents about their lives in Victoria County.

Project staff are hoping to wrap up audio and video recording sessions by November 15.

The project is sponsored by the federal government through their New Horizons for Seniors Program.

Project staff have interviewed more than 50 individuals, and are looking for a few more reminiscences before the recordings are sent to a video editor. The stories will be combined with archival photographs and turned into a commemorative DVD that will be available through the CKL Public Library system.

Project Coordinator Ian McKechnie urges people to get involved in this effort as it is the largest of its kind attempted in the former Victoria County since 1977.

Leslie Frost and Stanley Dayton Project 2020 commemorates the 125th birthday of two Victoria County residents, one famous and one well known to the people of Mariposa Township.

Leslie Frost, a prominent local lawyer and politician, served multiple terms as the Premier of Ontario where his small “C” Conservative leanings and small town civility earned him the nickname “Old Man Ontario.”

Stanley Dayton was the Little Britain correspondent for the Lindsay Post for more than 40 years detailing the minutia of south-central Mariposa life for the readers of the entire county. Every wedding, funeral, anniversary or important birthday was chronicled by Dayton and his wife, so much so that he earned the nickname the “Mayor of Gabtown.”

The Historical Society feels that both these men clearly represent a different time and place when rural Ontario had a culture and way of life far different from that of today.

These men, regardless of where they went or who they were speaking to, truly represented the people of Victoria County with kindness, civility and good grace.

The Historical Society hopes to open this exhibit in January 2020, and is looking to speak to people who could share their recollections and stories about Frost and Dayton.

This kind of project reflects the radical reorientation that is going on in how museums see their role in the

It goes beyond the beautifully decorated trees, wreaths and arrangements set up throughout the Village. There are activities for the whole family throughout the four days of the Festival.

The Kawartha Lakes Festival of Trees wouldn’t be as successful as it is without the help of over 300 volunteers. Jobs include: tree decorating, raffle ticket sales, operating the admission booths, and manning the different houses (just to name a few). This is a great opportunity for high school students to obtain their community hours. For more information, visit www.settlers village.org under events and Festival of Trees.

Horoscopes

October 31 to November 13

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) There is peace and harmony, Aquarius, with opportunities for love and money. An increase in popularity and charm mean it’s a good time for entertaining, dating and socializing.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) You may have to work harder, dear Pisces, to get love and affection. But as Anonymous said, “Never apologize for having high standards. People who really want to be in your life will rise up to meet them.”

Aries (March 21 to April 20) The planet’s alignment can bring mayhem with aspects of your life, Aries, but also has the potential to be friendly and sociable. Be cooperative and in harmony with others.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) There could be pressure on you, Taurus, on the work front from those who want to make your life difficult. Take a step back from that which is causing difficulty and try to figure out why that is so.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) There’s going to be plenty of activity in your social and love life, Gemini. If you have unhealthy relationships, though, tensions could be exposed.

The Kawartha Promoter

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) “He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe”: Marcus Aurelius.

This is true for you, Libra, as a sense of cooperation and harmony will make it easy to resolve any communication mishaps.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Your birthday puts the focus on you and your goals, Scorpio. It’s a good time for a fresh start, with an extra push from the universe to get started.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Being more relaxed, loving and affectionate could bring about peace, romance and fun in your life. Sag, this may be one of the best times of the year for your love life and financial security.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan 20) John Updike said, “To be sane is, to a great extent, to be sociable.” As the planets align, Capricorn, be friendly and sociable even though you could feel out of sorts.

There are important questions one can ask if you’re a “Starting-Over Couple.” That’s two individuals who are getting together later in life, but have a lifetime of separate finances and retirement plans. It is very easy to let your finances take a back seat to your future planning when you are trying to build a future with your new partner. Having said that, I can’t stress enough that you must stack the odds in your favour by planning for your future – together. Today, people are living well into their 90s and having separate plans or worse, no plan at all, guarantees hardship and upset as you get older.

If you plan to retire together, you must save and dissolve your debt together. It is vitally important that both partners be involved in the financial decision process. I have found that the most financially successful couples were those who combined their incomes, working together to spend and save for their future. Those couples who kept their finances separated

or secret with separate accounts and liabilities were always worse off. I have not seen one example in over 25 years of lending, where keeping separate money works. One partner is always languishing, and the debts get higher while the savings never grow. It just doesn’t work. You can’t change what happened in the past, only what will happen in the future. As a couple, if you want to retire debt free and wealthy, you must work together for a common goal. Dream together, plan together and remove uncertainties.

WHY DO WE REMEMBER?

From verterans.gc.ca

We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifice of those one hundred thousand Canadian lives will be meaningless. They died for us, for their homes and families and friends, for a collection of traditions they cherished and a future they believed in; they died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifice rests with our collective national consciousness; our future is their monument.

These wars touched the lives of Canadians of all ages, all races, all social classes. Fathers, sons, daughters, sweethearts: they were killed in action, they were wounded, and thousands who returned were forced to live the rest of their lives with the physical and mental scars of war.

Yet for many of us, war is a phenomenon seen through the lens of a television camera or a journalist’s account of fighting in distant parts of the world. Our closest physical and emotional experience may be the discovery of wartime memorabilia in a family attic. But even items such as photographs, uniform badges, medals, and diaries can seem vague and unconnected to the life of their owner. For those of us born during peacetime, all wars seem far removed from our daily lives.

We often take for granted our Canadian values and institutions, our freedom to participate in cultural and political events, and our right to live under a government of our choice. The Canadians who went off to war went in the belief that the values and beliefs enjoyed by Canadians were being threatened.

By remembering their service and their sacrifice, we recognize the tradition of freedom these men and women fought to preserve. They believed that their actions in the present would make a significant difference for the future, but it is up to us to ensure that their dream of peace is realized. On Remembrance Day, we acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who served their country and acknowledge our responsibility to work for the peace they fought hard to achieve.

During times of war, individual acts of heroism occur frequently; only a few are ever recorded and receive official recognition. By remembering all who have served, we recognize their willingly-endured hardships and fears, taken upon themselves so that we could live in peace.

REMEMBRANCE DAY DINNER

On Monday, November 11, Cambray Community United Church is hosting a Ham and Scalloped Potato Dinner at Fenelon Township Community Centre, 2255 Elm Tree Rd beginning at 5 pm.

HOW DO WE REMEMBER?

From veterans.gc.ca

On November 11, especially, but also throughout the year, we have the opportunity to remember the efforts of these special Canadians. In remembering, we pay homage to those who respond to their country’s needs. On November 11, we pause for two minutes of silent tribute, and we attend commemorative ceremonies in memory of our war dead.

Earl Haig that women and children in devastated areas of France could produce poppies for sale to support wounded Veterans. The first of these poppies were distributed in Canada in November of 1921, and the tradition has continued ever since, both here and in many parts of the world.

Poppies are worn as the symbol of remembrance, a reminder of the blood-red flower that still grows on the former battlefields of France and Belgium.

In Canada, traditionally the poppies which we wear were made by disabled Veterans. They are reminders of those who died while fighting for peace: we wear them as reminders of the horrors of conflict and the preciousness of the peace they fought hard to achieve.

The two minutes of silence provide another significant way of remembering wartime while thinking of peace. Two minutes are scarcely enough time for thought and reflection. As we pause and bow our heads, we remember those brave men and women who courageously volunteered for the cause of freedom and peace.

For those who lived through these wars, remembering means thinking of comrades. It evokes memories of men and women who never returned home. Those born after the wars might picture the youthful soldiers who eagerly joined up from high schools, businesses and farms across the country, only to meet death while fighting against the enemy. They may imagine the anguish of a man leaving a new wife, a young family, an elderly mother. The important thing for all of us to remember is that they fought to preserve a way of life, Canadian values, and the freedom we enjoy today and often take for granted. Remember that the silence is to honour their sacrifice and memory.

One day every year, we pay special homage to those who died in service to their country. We remember these brave men and women for their courage and their devotion to ideals. We wear poppies, attend ceremonies, and visit memorials. For one brief moment of our life, we remember why we must work for peace every day of the year.

The Bobcaygeon Curling Club made some significant accessibility upgrades since receiving a $150,000 Ontario Trillium Foundation Capital grant earlier this year. The Club installed an elevator in addition to making three of its washrooms fully accessible, ensuring that all three floors of the Curling Club are barrier-free for everyone. The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) awarded $108 million to 629 projects last year to build healthy and vibrant communities in Ontario.

Health & Wellness REFLEXOLOGY AND ANXIETY

By Jo-Anne Sugarman

Anxiety defined is the activation of your sympathetic (fight or flight) system, which relies on the endocrine system – a system of glands that release hormones that trigger all of the effects of anxiety. It all starts with the adrenal glands which release adrenaline, norepinephrine and cortisol (the stress hormone), to improve oxygen flow to the heart, brain and muscles.

When cortisol production takes over it is extremely difficult to relax and an excessive or persistent state of anxiety can have a devastating effect on your physical and mental health.

Numerous studies show that reflexology is particularly beneficial in enhancing a deep state of relaxation and reducing the psychological symptoms of stress and anxiety, which is at epidemic levels today and prevalent in all ages and genders.

In addressing stress and anxiety, reflexology specifically targets: • The Adrenal Glands to reduce cortisol production and reduce inflammation in the body.

• The Pituitary Gland, the conductor of the hormonal orchestra, to promote hormonal balance.

• The Pineal Gland secretes melatonin, a sleep inducer, to address sleep disorders.

• Diaphragm, to relax in cases of hypertension, and to promote deeper breathing.

• Solar Plexus, which is tied to the Adrenal Glands, is a complex network of nerves located at the pit of the stomach. Anxiety is a common cause of solar plexus pain.

• Stomach and Intestinal Track to calm chronic upset stomach and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

• Head to address headaches and migraines.

• Neck, shoulders and upper arms, carriers of stress.

As you become more deeply physically relaxed, mental relaxation is increased and the body and mind enter an Alpha state and a gentle healing mode, promoting a sense of euphoria and the release of the feel good endorphins.

Jo-Anne Sugarman is a Reflexology and Champissage practitioner, working at the Zen Den in Bobcaygeon.

HEALTH TEAM SURVEY SAYS ...

Submitted by Mike Perry

The results are in from the City of Kawartha Lakes Family Health Team’s most recent survey of patients across the local area. The data revealed some interesting findings on how local residents feel about their local care, the family health team approach, the health care system in general and the main challenges to be addressed.

While the vast majority of respondents indicated they found their health care provider to be caring, friendly and easy-to-talk-to and reported overwhelmingly that their providers are caring, good listeners and thorough, the broader answers were also encouraging.

A clear majority of patients surveyed ranked the fact that they feel their care is “patient-centred” as the best part of the care they receive.

“We are very pleased with this positive feedback about the team from our patients,” said Dr. Eric Ready, Chair of the City of Kawartha Lakes Family Health Team’s Board of Directors. “Reducing wait times is an ongoing effort and priority for the Board of Directors.”

Of particular note, 87 percent of patients responded that family health teams have been a positive change to the health care system. More than 90 percent stated they were very concerned or somewhat concerned about possible cuts to health care funding.

Also, more than half of patients who replied to the survey noted that they felt at least one of their visits to the family health team has prevented a visit to the emergency room (ER), thereby getting immediate care, saving the system money and reducing wait times at the ER.

The team is also aware that patients identified office hours and appointment wait times as the main challenges of local care. This correlated within the survey where patients said that appointment availability and wait times were the top areas when asked what the health team could do better. Access to transportation was ranked third by patients when asked about the challenges they experience in obtaining care.

The survey was replied to by 241 patients which was a response rate of almost 25 percent; a very high response rate for surveys generally. The survey applied to health care providers of the family health team (e.g., nurse practitioners, pharmacists, registered dietitians, mental health teams), not including local physicians.

The City of Kawartha Lakes Family Health Team provides primary care to some 36,000 patients at 13 locations across the city. For more information about obtaining a family doctor, visit www. cklfamilyhealthteam.com or call Danielle at 705934-2704.

HOUSING CRISIS

Submitted by Garry Jones

With the current average rental rate for a onebedroom apartment being $1,000 per month, this has created a crisis for low income seniors.

A senior individual whose income consists of only Old Age Security Benefit (OAS) and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) receives $613.53 (OAS) and $916.38 (GIS) per month. That’s a total of $1,529.91 or just over $18,000 a year. After paying rent, the individual has $529.91 left to pay for food, hydro and the basic necessities of life. If the individual has a Canada Pension Plan Benefit (CPP) of $500,the income goes up to $1,696.91. That gives them just under $700 left per month. But as the GIS supplement reduces as income increases, their monthly total may decrease.

The question is, how can anyone live with dignity on these amounts?

The only option currently available to help seniors in this situation is subsidized housing that is geared to income. This program is run by the Municipal Governments with help from the Provincial Government. To take advantage of this program, you must register with the Municipal Government and be placed on a waiting list for an available unit. The problem with this program is the waiting list contains

The 2019 Bobcaygeon Minor Ball Committee would like to sincerely thank our Volunteer Coaches/Managers and the following businesses and organizations for their support!

Due to our fantastic Sponsors we were able to acquire new hats, uniforms, and baseball equipment. This allowed us to create a safer and more enjoyable year while keeping the cost affordable for all kids to participate!

Thank you so much for your part in making Bobcaygeon Minor Ball 2019 such a successful season.

thousands of names and the waiting period to obtain a unit is measured in years. Each year, the waiting list grows larger and very few people receive housing under the program.

Obviously this program does not work and has to be changed. I have a simple alternative to this system: 1. C reate a program that is run through the income tax system.

2. This program would be very similar to the existing Ontario Trillium Benefit Plan.

3. When you file your income tax your annual rent is recorded and this is compared to your annual income.

4. If your monthly rent exceeds 30 percent of your monthly income, you would receive a monthly benefit for the amount by which your rent exceeds 30 percent of income 5.

The current subsidized housing program uses a maximum rent of 30 percent of income and there are limits to the amount of income you can earn and still qualify for the program. My plan would use these same limits.

If this plan was adopted, many thousands of seniors would be removed from the waiting list for subsidized housing as they would be able to stay in their existing housing and live a dignified life. The cost of maintaining waiting lists and placing applicants in housing would reduce and result in cost savings to the government and reduce the need to build new housing.

The monthly rent for the senior with only OAS and GIS income would be $458.97, while the monthly rent for the senior with OAS, GIS and CPP income would be $509.07.

If you agree that low income seniors should not be forced to suffer and have little dignity in their final years after contributing to society and paying taxes all their lives, send an outline of my plan to Doug Ford and your local MPP.
