From my perch

The province’s announcement it’s suspending its program to encourage solar farms and wind farms must be bittersweet for Manvers Wind Concerns (MWC).

That citizens group has been fighting a furious but losing battle against four wind-farm projects on the Oak Ridges Moraine for years.

They’ve had small victories, forcing developers to scale back and provide more environmental remediation.

But as spokesperson Paul Reid emailed about the recent government announcement: “Existing contracts will be ‘honoured,’ so we will still be watching these destructive projects go up—but at least the gravy train is stopped in it’s tracks for now.”

He adds “the battle is not over until every silly turbine stops spinning.”

And therein lies part of the problem for this citizens group—their apparent unbending opposition to all alternative energy projects, and their determination to see their elected provincial government as both evil

and incompetent.

Agreed, all governments occasionally do bad things—and often act incompetently. But so do all businesses, all people—including me.

But I cannot understand this absolute opposition to wind-powered electrical generation.

Our reliance on fossil fuels like coal, oil and even natural gas is leading to catastrophic climate change. The evidence is overwhelming; we’re already seeing consequences.

Nuclear may seem better, but long-term storage of radioactive spent fuel, and possible cataclysmic meltdown (Chernobyl, Three-Mile Island, Fukushima), certainly give pause.

Solar and wind generation are the best options we have. If we want to keep using energy—and I suspect we all do—we must compromise.

Village Voice The Promoter reserves the right to edit Letters to the Editor for length and clarity. Please include your email or mailing address and daytime phone number (not for publication). All opinions expressed are those of the writer.

In my defence

This letter is in response to the anonymous letter criticizing the “local café” during the Tragically Hip event (Wasn’t that a party—except . . . ?, Sept. 9, page 4).

When the street is closed to cars for an event (eg., Midnight Madness), all the businesses are allowed and encouraged to use the sidewalk space in front of them, since the street, in effect, becomes one giant sidewalk. Many businesses had tables and tents set up on the sidewalk that night.

With an estimated 17,000 people in attendance that night and only five or six restaurants open, the café was providing a much-needed service.

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario requires any temporary areas serving liquor to be closed in and defined by a barrier. We were responsibly complying with the laws set out by the commission, and could not be expected to control how close concert-goers placed their lawn chairs to the legal outdoor area.

An unprecedented event of this size is bound to have a few glitches. It was truly a monumental grassroots effort to make it happen. We should all be so proud that this event raised tens of thousands of dollars to support cancer charities, garnered worldwide media attention for Bobcaygeon, brought

thousands of visitors to our town, was beneficial to local businesses, and created a meaningful and unforgettable community experience to honour Gord Downie.

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered, organized, supported and donated to make this such an incredibly special night.

What a fabulous community we are.

Kathleen Seymour-Fagan, CKL Ward 13 councillor and owner, Kawartha Coffee Company Bobcaygeon

In her defence—and thanks

I was surprised to read such a critical “unsigned” letter (Wasn’t that a party—except . . . ?, Sept. 9, page 4). Why no name?

Did you enquire as to why the area was barricaded? It may have had something to do with LCBO regulations. It if had been yellow tape or a rope, would you have taken your baby carriage underneath it?

There were other stores with merchandise for sale on the sidewalks and roadways.

The event was hardly a place for baby carriages knowing the volume of people attending, to say nothing of the noise.

It is sad to read criticisms like this when our event had international media there. No mention of that. And it made Toronto news stations. Good for Bobcayeon.

The “elected councillor,” aka Kathleen SeymourFagan, would never intentionally disrespect those who elected her. It would have been nice to have thanked her and her team for putting on this event.

such as the Kawartha Lakes Municipal Airport?

Aviation and airports are what opened our north country. Airports are what made North America grow and prosper. An airport is the hub of commerce and transportation for communities (some companies will not locate where there is no airport).

Arnold Palmer is best-known for his golf career, but he was also a passionate aviation advocate. He earned his private pilot’s license in 1956, followed by instrument and multi-engine ratings.

“I could never have accomplished even half as much as I have in my golf and business careers over the last four decades without having my own airplanes,” he said.

Also, mercy flights to and from airports are often the difference between life and death. My cousin, for one, was airlifted from Lindsay to Toronto when he suffered a life threatening episode. The flight literally saved his life.

Maybe some day, you or one of your loved ones will need the same help—but without an airport, prepare for a funeral.

In residential areas, most noise comes from road transportation, construction, industrial and human or animal sources. Road traffic noise is the major source of noise.

The noise can be highly variable. It is common that day/night noise sources in different areas may vary through a range of 50 dB (decibels). The outdoor level in wilderness areas may be as low as 30-40 dBA compared to 85-90 dBA in urban areas.

Most urban dwellers live in areas of more than 48 dBA. (Editor’s note: dBA refers to A-weighted decibels. The dB values of sounds at low frequencies are reduced in A-weighting because the human ear is less sensitive at low audio frequencies.)

One would have to live at the very edge of the runways at Lindsay to have an annoying level of noise. Your neighbor’s lawn mower causes more noise than you would hear by standing at the edge of Lindsay’s runways. Lindsay does NOT accommodate large jet aircraft, which would be intolerable up to approximately 1 km.

Regarding the safety of aviation, just consider that there are an average of 50,000 highway deaths per year in North America but when an aircraft comes to grief, there is an outcry: “Oh, if people were meant to fly, they would be born with wings.”

The surprising thing is that when you compare per-passenger miles driven on the ground versus passenger miles flown, flying is 14 times safer than driving.

Transport Canada uses a Noise Exposure Forecast (NEF) system to provide a measurement of the actual and forecast aircraft noise in the vicinity of airports. This system factors in the subjective reactions of the human ear to specific aircraft noise stimulus: loudness, frequency, duration, time of occurrence, tone, etc.

New residential development should not proceed if the proximity of the proposed houses are within a “noise footprint” that would exceed what is considered normal. If it does, regardless of this caution, a detailed noise analysis should be conducted and noise reduction practices should be implemented. In this scenario, it is the developer’s duty to inform all prospective residents of possible irritants. Case in point, the development bounded by Highway 35 North and Colborne Street.

I hope this is educational for you and that you will not continue to try to put aviation in a bad light.

No higher service for unassumed roads

I, and I know many others, disagree with Director of Kawartha Lakes Public Works Bryan Robinson’s opinion that “six percent” of the population are receiving a higher level of service from the city because we have a Limited Service Agreement (LSA) on our unassumed or private roads.

At the public information session in Omemee, Sept. 23, and from a related article in another news media, it is clear Robinson feels “all taxpayers foot the bill” on unassumed roads, and “we need to level the playing field”—implying that those of us who live on those roads are freeloaders, taking advantage of others’ generosity without giving anything in return.

I have never complained about paying my taxes. Taxes benefit all and are the foundation of a just and caring society. I consider it my civic duty to pay taxes to provide children with education, families with health care and social services, recreational facilities and parks.

In other words, I pay my taxes, which also support many services that I do not use and provide

benefits to all residents of the CKL.

The “higher” level of service we receive from CKL on our unassumed road consists of two road gradings and two loads of gravel, if the city deems it necessary, each year. Our road is not snow plowed by CKL, nor do we have garbage pickup at our driveways for six months of the year. Not a lot for our taxes.

I’m insulted by Mr. Robinson’s very public disrespect and maligning of the “six percent” as getting benefits that are footed by all taxpayers.

Below are the services that I have never used in the CKL and don’t intend to in the future, but pay taxes to benefit others in CKL: • Schools—I’ve never had children in school • CKL transit—there is no longer a rural bus • The Lindsay airport—I do not have a plane • CKL Human Services, housing services, social services or Victoria Manor • I don’t play hockey or tennis or use the beaches, boat launches or the community centres (with the exception of a few public meetings) • Ditto for parks, athletic fields, and splash pads.

Based on the above, I would encourage Mr. Robinson to extend a public apology to the six percent who contribute to many services in the CKL they do not use.

Furthermore, I do not have confidence that Mr. Robinson will be able to provide council a fair and unbiased report based on his very public and obviously disparaging opinion of the six percent.

the fall of 1913.

Located at King and Bolton streets, it is part of the Masonic Lodge’s Victoria District, which contains 14 lodges spread out over the Kawarthas and Haliburton county. In recent years, masonry has come out of the shadows and more into the public eye.

Oct. 1 marked the 100th anniversary of Victoria becoming a governing district of masonry for the Province of Ontario and coincided with Bobcaygeon’s Fall Fair.

All of the Lodges came together in Bobcaygeon to celebrate this occasion in Bobcaygeon’s Fall Fair Parade. It was led off with a motorcycle contingent followed by the District Deputy Grand Master of Victoria District Masonry, plus many floats and vintage cars from the 14 Lodges of Victoria District.

The annual fall parade was bolstered considerably this year by their participation and was one of the largest in recent years.

The festive event was capped off with the Victoria District Grand Master’s Reception and dinner at The Eganridge Golf and Country Club just outside of town honoring the Grand Master of Ontario, Most Worshipful Brother John C. Green.

Fun was had by one and all. It was truly a great success.

City Hall KL council seeks to cut $2.5 mill from 2017 operating budget

By Pat Warren

($465,000), • airport site works (about $1 million), • deferring wall removal at the Old Gaol beside city hall, ($605,000), • reducing gravel resurfacing, playground equipment, and boat launches, • shutting down some community halls, • “gapping wages” (leaving vacated staff positions unfilled for a period), • deferring the purchase of plow trucks, • reducing ditching and roadside protection by 25 percent, • reducing road reflectors by 50 percent • bridge maintenance, • “trip-and-fall” sidewalk improvements, and • doctor recruitment.

All these cuts could reduce the operating budget by almost $2 million or 1.83 percent—with possibly more to come.

Council will have some challenging decisions in the weeks to come.

After Kawartha Lakes staff presented background reports for the capital and operating budgets to the special council meeting Sept. 27, council has asked staff to find savings—including $2.5 million from the operating budget.

Council looks set to increase the capital budget as reserves are quite low and the debt limit needs to be raised to help fund a housing initiative and other capital projects. The housing-project costs should be recouped by rents in the long run.

Within the reports from staff were decision units for council to consider for lowering the overall budget

If the budget were to pass in its present state— which is really only a starting point—the tax-rate increase for 2017 would be about 4.5 percent.

allows the facility to offer a more competitive fuel cost, increasing business. Fuel revenue is up 30 percent and the new system allows filling 24/7, every day of the year.

The city fronted the money to build more hangers, and 100 percent are now occupied, which has also added to the bottom line—and the board is repaying the city’s money.

The board is also hoping to add a flight school, which Hunter says “is very popular these days.” This project will also help improve the bottom line.

Hunter said the airport is in a fortuitous position in comparison to other small airports.

However, it needs to resurface the runway, which is estimated to cost a $1 million. To be more fiscally responsible, the board has looked at an overlay solution instead of a full replacement, saving $800,000. Repaving will make the Lindsay airport even more of a destination, since Buttonville Airport has closed.

Down the line, the airport will also need to add a parallel runway and a crosswind runway to lure a flight school, said Hunter, which is planned for 2019.

Hunter assured council that any initiatives will have a strong business case before moving forward.

Ward 8 Councillor John Pollard wanted to know how much business is being lost due to the poor runway?

Hunter said that business has increased because of the new fuel system but was unsure how the runway factored in. He added however, that it would only take a few days to do the resurfacing.

The board is also going to do a core services review, considering ownership, governance, finance and even whether Kawartha Lakes should have an airport.

Illegal fires still threaten Chiminis

By Glenna Burns

Jim Inch, a member of the Kawartha Land Trust (KLT) management team, has asked Trent lakes council to grant KLT authority to act as bylawenforcement officers on Big (Boyd) Island/Chiminis.

He said volunteer crews have dismantled fire pits on the island, only to go back a short time later and find they have been used again—despite municipal fire bans and signage prohibiting camp fires.

Inch told council on Sept. 20 that “most people treat the island with respect, but a few people are ignoring the fire ban.” Some people are even cutting green timber to use as fire fuel.

“A fire on the island would lead to disastrous results,” he said.

The areas where the problem is most acute are along the shoreline on the east side of the island.

Council received Inch’s presentation for future consideration.

Water protection is now official in TL

By Glenna Burns

A new Drinking Water Source Protection Plan is set to become part of the Trent Lakes Official Plan— and its policies could impact building permits and home-business activities as the municipality will now have the authority to protect vulnerable areas used for drinking water.

The “ambitious undertaking,” explained Trent Lakes land-use planner Chris Jones in a packed public meeting at the council chambers Sept.

20, was developed to protect well heads in three specific Trent Lakes locations: Kinmount, Buckhorn Estates and Alpine Village.

Activities that put water systems at risk can include septic systems, large sewage systems, wastedisposal sites, some agricultural activity, road-salt storage, fuel and chemical storage and handling, and waterfowl congregation.

“Planning is a dynamic science,” Jones told the audience and council. “Official plans get approved, and its normal procedure to change them as new ideas come forward.”

Maryam Monsef, seated with her niece, Leila Taheri, Leila’s parents Mina Monsef and Mehdi Taheri (centre standing), plus sister Mehrangiz Monsef and mother Soriya BasirMonsef.

Born where?

Peterborough (including Trent Lakes) MP Maryam Monsef was not born in Herat, Afghanistan—as she has always claimed. According a Globe and Mail article published Sept. 22, she was actually born in Mashhad, Iran.

As Monsef’s arrival with her mother and siblings in Canada as refugees from Afghanistan has long been a part of her feel-good life story—a story that helped her get elected MP last year—the rookie MP immediately put out a statement to explain her situation. Here are excerpts from that statement: “In recent days, my mother told me for the first time that my sisters and I were in fact born in Mashhad, Iran, approximately 200 kilometers from the Afghan border.

“Following my parents’ wedding in Herat, the local security situation became untenable. The town was severely damaged by war and thousands were killed.

“No longer safe in their home town, my parents decided not to take risks and went to Mashhad, Iran, where they could be safe.

“While we were technically safe in Iran, we did not hold any status there, and like the thousands of other Afghan refugees, we were not afforded all of the same rights and privileges given to Iranian citizens.

“After my father’s death, we travelled back and forth between Afghanistan and Iran when the security situation permitted it.

“My sisters and I asked my mother why she never told us we were born in Iran. She told us she did not think it mattered. We were Afghan citizens, as we were born to Afghan parents, and under Iranian law, we would not be considered Iranian citizens despite being born in that country.

“Conflict has robbed me of a father, and it has scarred my family and I for life. We thankfully found a welcoming home in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, where we began the challenging and difficult process of resettlement.

“Coming to Canada as a refugee—20 years strong, and now a member of cabinet in the 42nd Parliament—I feel a tremendous deal of responsibility

in upholding all that this great country has allowed me to become. This includes accountability to the public and transparency.

“Canada has played an important role in allowing me to become who I am today. It’s the only place I’ve ever truly felt I belonged, and I couldn’t be more proud to be Canadian.”

Desperately seeking help at Music Council

The precipitous departure for health reasons of Bobcaygeon Music Council (BMC) founders and stalwarts Andy and Lorna Harris has left the 10-year-old council in what could be a make-or-break situation.

“Our two-concert fall series is a go,” interim chair Vicky Baxter told The Kawartha Promoter, but “if, in November, we don’t see our way clear financially, we’ll have to close down.”

“We don’t want to,” she quickly added, but her wordless, follow-up shrug spoke volumes.

The council has done wonders for the community in its decade-long life, with delightful summer concerts in the park, various fall and winter concert series, a week-long music camp every summer and the ongoing Northwinds concert band for children and youth, plus a bursary program to help committed young people with their music education.

But all these things cost money to continue, and start-up grants have petered out, so Baxter and fellow board member Bill Fry are appealing to individuals, businesses and service clubs to step forward to help out.

The first and easiest—and most fun—thing you can do, they say, is simply to buy tickets for the two fall concerts at Bobcaygeon’s Trinity United Church.

Voices of Showtime will be featured on Sunday, Oct. 23, and the Guelph-based women’s Christmas trio, Boreal will perform Sunday, Nov. 20. Both concerts are at 2 pm.

Single tickets are $30 apiece or you can get both concerts for $50. They’re available in Bobcaygeon at My Favourite Things and Bobcaygeon Electronics, and in Fenelon Falls at Stokes on Trent. Or call 705731-7497 or see bobcaygeonmusic.com.

If we sell 100 tickets, we should break even. Two hundred tickets will help put us in the black, and give us money to continue, says Fry.

“People are generous,” says Fry, “but they don’t always realize how much it costs to put these events on.” The summer Concerts in the Park cost about $2,500 a night, he says, and rely mainly on sponsors and donations, as the concerts are free. And if it rains, the costs are still there.

Both Fry and Baxter recognize that Andy Harris was a genius at fundraising, with a genial, personal approach that could be more accurately called “friendraising.” But the problem of becoming too reliant on one charismatic individual becomes painfully obvious when that individual is no longer there.

So the council needs donors, ongoing supporters,

and volunteers to help run things. “Our future depends on community support,” says Baxter. Even granting foundations, want to know how involved and supportive the community is before giving out the bucks.

“My biggest concern,” says Baxter, “is what happens to the children and youth if the organization can no long carry on. I’ve seen some children in families who are really struggling—but getting involved in music has been one of the things that has kept them going.

“Hockey’s great, but it’s not for everyone.”

Good for the student— and the farmer

As part of Local Food Month in September, volunteers delivered the first of more than 500 food boxes filled with local foods to nearly 50 schools in Peterborough city and county to support Food For Kids student-nutrition programs.

Each food box supports school breakfast programs. These first boxes included 20 lbs of apples, five lbs of carrots, two heads of celery, and a 2.5 lb brick of cheese—all sourced through local growers, producers and distributors.

“Connecting schools with our local food producers not only nourishes students so they learn better, but it teaches them where our food comes from and how important farming is to our community,” said Lauren Kennedy, a nutritionist with Peterborough Public Health.

Last year, 588 school food boxes helped feed over 2.5 million healthy breakfasts and snacks to 17,364 students. More than 1,000 volunteers gave an average of 1,100 hours a week to deliver 20,470 lbs of Ontario grown and produced food to local student nutrition programs.

Peggy Colman’s children call her “The Tree Queen.”

Her painting subjects include scenes, birds, and people—but she really loves doing birch trees.

Colman paints canvasses of all sizes, but enjoys the large ones most of all. She incorporates texture in her work by using a palette knife and other materials— and you can see an exhibit of her paintings throughout October in the Sheila Boyd Room at the Bobcaygeon Library (William and Canal Streets) during regular library hours.

Peggy is a member of the Settler’s Village Art Group and The Lindsay Art Gallery. She started painting when she moved to Bobcaygeon from Richmond Hill, with lessons from a local artist and weekend courses at Gallery on the Lake.

She says that people seem to really like her work.

Biggest party leads to biggest donation

By Adrienne Harrop

The country was heartbroken the day Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip, announced he had terminal brain cancer. For people of Bobcaygeon hold a special place in their heart for the band.

The Tragically Hip put this small Ontario town on the map.

“When you come from a small, unassuming town and you hear your song being sung on the radio, you beam with pride,” says Sherry Peel, owner of Bigley Shoes and Clothing. That is what the Tragically Hip did for Bobcaygeon—it made them proud.

So when the news of Gord Downie’s illness spread, local merchants got together to honour the band and raise as much money as they could for

brain-cancer research.

Local businessman, Aaron Shaw, owner of Crazy Monkey Tree Service, came up with the idea for what ultimately became the biggest party Bobcaygeon has ever seen.

Aaron rallied a team of community members that included Bigley’s owner Sherry Peel and Kathleen Seymour-Fagan, City of Kawartha Lakes councillor and owner of Kawartha Coffee Company.

The group set out to raise a little money in support of brain-cancer research. They organized a group of volunteers, armed with ice-cream buckets, to work the crowds during the Bobcaygeon screening of the Aug. 20 Tragically Hip concert.

And they raised $9,375 from the 17,000 people in attendance.

One hundred percent of the profits from limited-edition t-shirts, hats and sandal sales from Bigley Shoes and Clothing raised over $10,000.

And sales from Douglas + Son has, to date, raised over $4,000 from the ongoing sale of their limited edition “Courage” t-shirt.

On Sept. 30, the Bobcaygeon group presented the donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.

It was the largest Tragically Hip event donation the Cancer Society received from across the country, a total of $23,500 to brain cancer research, in recognition of Gord Downie.

Shaw, Peel and Seymour-Fagan would like to thank all the volunteers who helped on the evening of the Tragically Hip concert, the local merchants who helped contribute to the rental of the giant screens for the event, as well as everyone who supported this cause.

This Bobcaygeon initiative was not the result of one person or one business; it was the result of an entire town pulling together. Bobcaygeon should be proud, not just for a song, but for the great community they live in.

Open up to curling

Looking for a fun activity to help you stay fit and keep active this winter? The Bobcaygeon Curling Club (BCC) invites you to give curling a try—at their open house.

New curlers can try the sport for the first time using equipment provided by the club. All you need is comfortable clothing, gloves and clean running shoes.

The Open House is set for Wednesday, Oct. 19 from 7-9 pm at the club behind the fairgrounds grandstand.

And if you’re afraid you’ll find it too difficult to throw a rock down the ice from that “crouched” position (it’s called “the hack”), don’t worry. The club also provides instruction on “stick curling”— delivering the rock from a standing position with a “delivery stick.”

Stick curling has become very popular with many members.

Club members say the BCC is a great place to meet people and make new friends. Novice curlers are introduced to the game in a safe, positive environment, and free lessons at the beginning of the season are a part of membership.

For more information visit BobcaygeonCurlingClub.ca, or call Geoff Cross at 705-738-6548.

Kinettes prepping for Christmas—already

Another year begins for the Kinette Club of Bobcaygeon. Our first meeting was Sept. 6—and already the Kinettes are busy organizing committees and projects.

First was the Bobcaygeon Fall Fair, where the Kinette Club once again ran their Food Booth in the Curling Club, serving hot dogs, sandwiches, sweets, drinks, coffee and tea.

Christmas is still a few months away, but Kinettes are already starting to organize our Christmas events. Our Friendship Dinner for ladies who live

alone in Bobcaygeon will be Dec. 6 at the Legion.

It’s a truly delightful evening for everyone, as they’re entertained and served a full roast-turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Don’t forget that Santa also makes an appearance.

The “Kinette Santa Claus Parade” plans are well under way too, of course. The parade will be in the evening on Dec. 10—a real spectacle, with the many bright lights of the parade floats making their way through the village.

The morning of the parade (Dec. 10), we’ll host our “Breakfast with Santa,” at the Lion’s Hall. Both children and adults will enjoy the pancake breakfast prepared by our Kinettes—and photo opportunities with Santa.

We look forward to seeing our community out and about at our events.

Lions collecting coats

No, not real lions—members of the Fenelon Falls Lions Club. You’ll meet them out on the street in front of Fenelon’s Bank of Montreal from 9 am to 1 pm on Saturday, Oct. 15, collecting donations of winter coats and other clothing for young and old.

They’ll also appreciate donations of used eye glasses, to be reused in other countries around the world. So bring along whatever you have.

It’s the local group’s contribution to the annual Lions Service Day Project. For more information, call Lion Ken Le Masurier at 705-887-4504.

Kawartha Futures marks 30th with ‘BASH’

The Kawartha Lakes Community Futures Development Corporation (KLCFDC) is pulling out all the stops to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

Beyond the usual luncheon to cap off Small Business Week in Kawartha Lakes, says General Manager Andrew Wallen, KLCFDC will be throwing an all-day BASH (Business And Support Happening) on Friday, Oct. 21 that will include presenting the 18th Annual Kawartha Lakes Innovation Awards— with the largest cash prize awards ever offered.

There’s lots to celebrate. During 30 years of working in the Kawartha Lakes the KLCFDC has approved over $45 million in loans and $6 million in grants to local small businesses, creating or maintaining 6,000 jobs. It has responded to over 12,000 business inquiries, has facilitated hundreds of projects, and helped create many opportunities and partnerships across the community.

The 30th anniversary BASH takes place at the Lindsay Armoury from 10 am to 3 pm, and will offer information for businesses on funding, training, internship opportunities, research, marketing and employment programs from federal, provincial, regional and local representatives—and even where and how to get help with job searches.

The presentations will begin early, with each organization taking five minutes to quickly get its

message out (then visit their displays to follow up).

There will be on-line access to the presentations as well as printed materials.

Wallen calls it “a great opportunity to gain details first-hand and to meet the individuals directly responsible for supporting businesses.”

The centrepiece for the BASH will be presentation of the Innovation Awards at noon.

KLCFDC has upped the ante this year with its largest cash prizes ever: $1,000 for first prize, $750 for second, and $500 for third.

The awards are “all about recognizing some of the newest and brightest business ideas in our community,” says Wallen. “It may not be a completely new business, but if it’s new to the area, we want to try to help make people aware of it.” It could even be a new product or service extension from an established local business.

“We’ve extended the deadline for nominations to 4 pm on Thursday, Oct. 13,” says Wallen. Anyone can apply, or nominate someone else, by clicking on the application link at klcfdc.com.

The BASH caps a week of activities to help small businesses, including: an Employment Law seminar, two business breakfasts, and a How to Google Your Business drop-in. See ad below or find more at klcfdc.com. Or call 705-328-0261.

KLCFDC’s Friday BASH is free to all, but let KLCFDC know you plan to be there by going online at klbash.com. They want to be prepared.

COBOCONK, NORLAND & AREA NEWS Into the future—in Norland

By Jennifer Wilson

18 October 7, 2016 - The Kawartha Promoter

The Riverside Inn has brought the future to the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Restaurant owners Jamie Burton and Margy Taylor saw an opportunity to install a Tesla electric-vehicle charging station in their parking lot—and Tesla agreed that their restaurant is a great spot for electric-vehicle owners to stop for a charge.

It all started when John and Josie Harlow—who were one of Jamie and Margy’s first customers when they opened their restaurant almost six years ago—were having dinner at the inn. They began chatting with Jamie and Margy about their new Tesla.

Jamie was inspired, and contacted Tesla the next day to see what he could do to have a charging station installed.

Fast forward a few months later, and Riverside Inn has become the site of one of nine supercharger stations in Ontario .

Since it was installed in May, at least 15 electric vehicles have used the charging station.

Jamie says that just a few weeks ago he was talking to a family

who came in on a Sunday for a bite to eat while their car was charging.

They said they looked at the map of charging stations that morning, saw Norland was on it and said to themselves, “We’ve never to been there. Let’s go to Norland.”

Electric vehicles are becoming much more popular, and charging stations are becoming more convenient. John and Josie have travelled to Florida in their Tesla, and out to the east coast of Canada too.

They’ve had some adventures along the way, and now have some great stories to tell. And isn’t that what life is all about?

It’s Easy Being Green Down with Thanksgiving waste

By Julia Taylor

Here comes Thanksgiving. What a great excuse to get together and have a delicious family dinner and extra desserts.

We have a big family—and that means a big cleanup. A couple of years ago I was getting ready to take the garbage out. It was looking pretty explody, and I knew there was all sorts of ooeey-gooey, runny stuff inside of it, but I ignored the warning signs.

Somehow I tied it together and went to heave it out into the garage. Well I think you know what happened—it burst all over the floor.

While I was bitterly cleaning up the mess, I wondered why we have so much extra garbage at family dinners? I starting take note of what was in the garbage bag (or on the floor, rather).

Paper plates, paper napkins, plastic cutlery,

Are you reading this?

Advertising in The Kawartha Promoter works!

wrapping etc.—and a bunch of recyclables, because the recycling bin had already overflowed so people had just started chucking it in the garbage.

I thought to myself: “Don’t we all have a set of reusable napkins?” You know . . . the fancy ones that you bought just for occasions like this? And “can’t we use our own cutlery and plates and just wash them?”

The answer is: Yes, we do. And yes, we can. So why don’t we? And why are we spending money on things just to throw away?”

“But it’s easy,” we say. And it is paper, so it will biodegrade. And we can recycle the plastic.

But did you know it takes a lot of resources and energy to produce and ship and recycle these throw-away items?

I’d never thought about it that way until this very messy day.

So bust out those fancy napkins, pull out that box of extra plates (or grab some at the thrift store for $5), and save some money and the environment.

I also invested in an extra recycling bin to hold all the extra recycling that having company produces ($5 at your local service centre).

And if you are feeling extra green, try your hand at back-yard composting and reduce your waste by half.

Now that is something our environment would be thankful for.

Have a colourful, active

Thanksgiving

By John Bird, editor

When I was a child, my family often used to spend Thanksgiving with my aunt, uncle and cousins at their home in Lachute, Quebec, on the edge of the Laurentians.

It was a lot of work for all the adults involved.

On the one side, the packing and long evening drive from Whitby to Lachute after dad got off work on Saturday—then back on Monday evening so he could start work again Tuesday morning.

On the other side, the endless food preparation for that grand, extended-family meal—and making up extra beds in all corners of the house.

We loved those weekends—playing with our always-entertaining cousins in a house that seemed made for hide-and-seek. Singing, storytelling, marathon family card and board games.

There was a wonderful feeling of welcome, acceptance and safety, for which I’m eternally grateful.

And of course, the food—the turkey, the gravy, the stuffing, the pumpkin and apple pies.

I miss those wonderful days of family fun and childhood freedom. But the older I get, the more I come to dread holidays like Thanksgiving. Too much food and too little exercise—which takes an increasing toll on my aging body.

It feels like each Thanksgiving weekend takes a year off my life. I can feel the cholesterol forming

around my heart.

What to do?

The answer lies in what was my favourite activity of those long-ago Thanksgivings in Lachute—the Sunday afternoon walks up the mountain.

Invariably I remember bluebird skies and the flaming sugar maples of autumn, for which the Laurentians are so justly famous. It was a steep climb, definitely good for the body, and to counteract all that rich food.

And lots of opportunity for my father and uncle to impart their surprising stock of woods lore.

I give thanks, too, for those walks in that wonderful creation.

Only trouble was, the mothers rarely got to go.

Too busy in the kitchen.

So my Thanksgiving resolution this year is to do my best to cut back on the rich foods, free up the kitchen workers by sharing an already-lightened load, and try to make sure we all get some of that wonderful fall fresh air and exercise.

I only hope it doesn’t rain.

It’s worth 5 seconds to buckle up

The deaths of 347 unbuckled vehicle occupants in Ontario Provincial Policeinvestigated collisions over the past five years have the OPP calling on drivers and passengers to help them conduct a successful province-wide, fall seat-belt campaign.

“So far this year, 40 people have lost their lives in collisions in which they were found not wearing their seat belt,” says an OPP press release.

Ontario’s Seatbelt Law turns 40 this year. It was enacted in 1976, making seatbelt use mandatory.

Cars were already being built with seatbelts by that point—although none came with belts before 1962.

According to the 2013 Ontario Road Safety Annual Report, over 90 per cent of Ontarians now wear their seatbelts—and as a result, the fatality rate has fallen an amazing 85 percent.

But even with the knowledge that wearing a seatbelt dramatically increases chances of surviving a collision, some people still don’t do it.

In 2012, about one in every four motorists killed on Ontario’s roads was unbelted. And in the same year, 31,398 drivers and passengers were penalized for not wearing seatbelts.

To mark the 40th anniversary of Ontario’s mandatory seatbelt law, both the OPP and the Canadian Automobile Association, South Central Ontario are reminding motorists to buckle up.

“Every year, our officers tend to crash victims of all ages who are not buckled in at the time of the collision,” adds the OPP. “More often than not, they die as a result of being ejected, partially ejected, or from the physical trauma they sustained inside the vehicle.”

“Fortunately, our officers have also witnessed numerous victims survive their ordeal as a result of being restrained in their seat.

“Every life is worth the five seconds it takes to buckle up.”

Thank You to All Our Customers It’s Been a Great Summer!

Roots & Ramblings Back home in the Kawarthas

By Eleanor Hardaker-Dickson

Today we have a change of pace. For this issue of Roots and Ramblings our focus will be Ramblings . . . and Roots.

My favourite ramblings begin with a courtyard in a chateau situated in the Loire Valley, France, where I enjoyed champagne and cigars by moonlight.

They continue in a tea-shop on Black Heath, England, with cup after cup of good strong tea

accompanied by hot scones dripping with clotted cream and homemade strawberry jam.

Yet another rambling occurred in our own country, in a chalet clinging to the side of Mount Rundle at Banff, Alberta. I studied music and drank copious amounts of coffee.

Back down to earth now—for the roots part.

On a rocky ledge with a sheer drop to the azure blue below, I marvel at the beauty of our own Kawartha Lakes, land of sparkling waters.

As you can well imagine, there is a picnic basket nearby.

T.S. Eliot said it best: “and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”

Horoscopes

For October 7 – 20 Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) As Thanksgiving approaches, we are always reminded of the need to be grateful. Carry this on, Aquarius, each day, not just for one weekend a year.

Try to be content with what you have—and always count your blessings.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) There’s a buzz phrase nowadays, Pisces, that says “be authentic.” Well, we’ll put it more simply: “BE YOURSELF.” Do what YOU want to do, Dress to tell the world who YOU are. Stand up straight and tall, and let YOUR true self shine out.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) “Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go”—Hermann Hesse. There are many things we like to hang onto, Aries.

Material possessions for one, because they hold deep meaning for us. But it’s harder to let go of feelings—of regret, revenge, jealousy. These are the things that make us weak, not strong.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) We can’t promise the lottery, Taurus, but there is a possibility of some “found” money coming your way. That’s money you weren’t expecting—so save it or spend it wisely.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Notice tiny miracles, Gemini.

They may not be miracles in the true sense of the word, but the world is filled with wondrous things waiting to be discovered. Go. Explore. Find them.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Happiness isn’t always where we

expect it to be. In fact, it can pop up just anywhere, taking us by great, joyful surprise. Be open to it, dear Cancer.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) You’re in a good head space right now, Leo, so enjoy it. There are lots of activities going on for you to partake in. You may even find some great new friends.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) It might be a good time to leave your ego at the door, Virgo, whether it’s the office door or the threshold to your home. Things will work out better for you in this phase if you work as part of a team and cooperate. You can do it.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) With the Falling Leaves Moon coming full on Oct. 16, and the earth showering us with warm, vibrant autumnal colours, take time to take it all in. Yes, Libra, enjoy this time as you prepare mentally and spiritually for the coming winter.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Scorpios are known to be the most contrary and contradictory zodiac sign of all. You can be warm-hearted and cold, strong-willed and weak, independent and clingy. Make sure you choose a life partner who knows this, and who knows they can trust you no matter what mood you are in at the moment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Busy, busy, busy. That’s you, Sag. Try not to burn out. We know you are going fulltilt, so it’s doubly important to take some time-out.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Winners don’t say bad things about people. Losers do. And you are not one of the losers, Capricorn. Remember these words of wisdom and stay strong.

Health & Wellness How toxins cause disease

By Benjamin Stone

In the last article, I introduced you to the “Three Amigos,” a cute title for a host of biologically dangerous toxins that often co-habit and work synergistically in your body.

In this episode, I’ll give you an overview of how toxins cause cellular inflammation, break down our natural detox pathways, cripple our ability to absorb nutrients and throw off our immune systems.

So, how DO toxins affect our biological systems, leading to disease?

Basically, they cause cellular inflammation by blocking the normal processes of the cell, and in some cases shutting down detox genes.

Additionally, cells become blocked from absorbing nutrients, picking up hormone signals, and releasing toxins.

Thus begins the path to disease.

We end up with a suppressed immune system that allows additional biotoxins, heavy metals and infections to invade. Eventually, this leads to auto-immunity issues, where the once-healthy immune system begins attacking itself.

All of this leads to cellular dysfunction, poor energy production and broken cell-to-cell communication. Physical and mental symptoms start to manifest, leading eventually to disease states like metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, heart disease, cancer—and frankly, every other malady.

Next in this introductory series, I will discuss solutions for reversing disease and healing the body by removing cellular interference, and feeding the cells with the vital nutrients they need to restore our life-force powerhouse.

Stay well and I look forward to seeing you in the next article.

Benjamin Stone is a holistic health practitioner, certified

Hippocrates Health Educator, and plant-based nutritionist, focused on the whole human experience and specializing in true cellular detoxification. He is proprietor of The Green Owl Natural Health Store and Clinic.

WELLNESS THROUGH REIKI Reiki Master Carol Wells-Gordon is available for classes and/or personal treatments in Bobcaygeon. Carol’s practice follows the Usui Shiki Ryoho system of natural healing.

Please call Carol at 705-731-0455 for more information or to book an appointment.

Serve on a health advisory committee

If you like complex systems and want to have a hand in shaping our health-care delivery, then the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) wants you.

The LHIN is looking for community members to participate in a new Patient and Family Advisory Committee (PFAC).

According to a statement from the LHIN, the committee will “serve as a forum for dialogue among community members as they advise the Central East LHIN on issues and perspectives related to health system goals and objectives.”

The network wants to put together a committee that will “reflect the diversity of the people and communities within the Central East LHIN”—and “a broad range of lived experiences.”

According to Chief Executive Officer Deborah Hammons, “when people are actively involved in managing their own health and wellness, as well as creating their own heath care and community solutions, they will live healthier lives in healthier communities.”

Patients and their family or caregivers who live within the Central East LHIN’s geographic region—which includes both Kawartha Lakes and Peterborough County—are encouraged to apply to serve. Visit centraleastlhin.on.ca and fill out an expression of interest.

Should Canadians supplement Vitamin D?

Canadians should look at their vitamin D intake, says the Vitamin D Society of Canada after a recent British report by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition urged vitamin D supplements in that country.

Because of the northern latitude of both Britain and Canada, vitamin D producing sunlight can only be captured by our skin between the months of May and October, argues the society. This leaves

AIRPORT NOISE AND HEALTH PROBLEMS

With airports multiplying and expanding, it Is estimated that the number of take-offs and landings will double over the next 20 years. While previous research has demonstrated that exposure to aircraft noise on a regular basis is linked with sleep disturbances, breathing problems during the night, and nervousness, a new study has uncovered an association between long-term aircraft noise and hypertension. Researchers found that those living closest to airports, where they regularly experienced aircraft sounds of 60 decibels or more, had almost twice the incidence of hypertension as those living in quieter areas (40% versus 24%). Airport noise was also linked to heart changes (aortic stiffness and higher ventricular mass) that can lead to heart attack and stroke.

Studies have also linked exposure to aircraft noise with learning deficits. They have found that young school-age children who are chronically exposed to aircraft noise had poorer reading skills than children attending school in quieter neighborhoods. 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. Airport noise may lead to higher blood pressure due to the release of stress hormones that naturally raise blood pressure.

Canadians and Brits in the cold and with declining levels over fall and winter.

The vitamin plays an important role in regulating the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body— making it essential for bone health and more. Low vitamin D levels means bones can become thin and brittle.

The British report shows that vitamin D “intakes are low and status is one of the poorest,” says Dr. Susan Whiting, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan and scientific advisor for the Vitamin D Society.

“Modest fortification with vitamin D in Canada has prevented us from having so much severe vitamin D deficiency as is the situation in the UK right now,” she added. “But diet alone in neither country can allow us to achieve optimal vitamin D status especially in winter months.”

Statistics Canada reports that up to 12 million Canadians—35 percent of us—do not meet vitamin D blood level requirements. That number rises to more than 40 percent in winter.

The summer sun allows most Canadians and Brits to naturally generate adequate levels of vitamin D, but according to the Vitamin D Society, come winter, that won’t be possible. The solution to keeping levels normal in winter, is vitamin D supplements or artificial ultraviolet B exposure (ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths between 290 and 320 nanometers, in case you were wondering).

The Vitamin D Society (vitamindsociety.org) is a Canadian non-profit group to raise awareness of vitamin D deficiency health concerns and to help fund vitamin D research.

Remember the lost child

There’ll be a candle-lighting ceremony at the Kinmount Train Station on Saturday, Oct. 15 at 7 pm to mark Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.

It’s a time to remember the loss of a child—during pregnancy or as an infant—through miscarriage, stillbirth, sudden infant death syndrome . . . .

The Kinmount Lions and the Friends of Haliburton-Bancroft Midwives are sponsoring the event, which will include remembrance ceremonies and candle-lighting vigils—ending with the “International Wave of Light.”

Contact Melissa Moody at 705-464-1114 or Melissa.moody23@hotmail.com for more info.

“We have tremendous volunteers—including Crayola employees, their families and those from outside the company—to help make this event a success every year,” says Paul Murphy, General Manager of Crayola Canada. “We look forward to seeing everyone from the community during the United Way Sale.”

The campaign co-chairs, Barb Truax, Sherry Giltenan and Tim Truax will be on hand with some of the campaign team to encourage people to lend their voice to the #50STRONGVOICES campaign.

There will be opportunities to send messages and inspire others through social media.

Low-cost rabies pet vaccines mid month

It’s still largely concentrated in the Hamilton-

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

Brantford area, but there is an outbreak of rabies among wildlife in Ontario. All the more reason to have your four-footed friends vaccinated against the disease.

In fact, in this area, pet owners can be fined if they don’t get their cats and dogs vaccinated.

That’s why the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, with local vets, is offering its annual fall Low-Cost-Rabies-Vaccination Clinics in the City of Kawartha Lakes on Saturday, Oct. 15.

Rabies is a serious virus that attacks the nerves and brain of an animal. If left untreated, rabies is fatal.

People and pets may get rabies when an infected animal bites or scratches them, or licks an open wound.

The Rabies Vaccination Clinics cost $25 per animal (cash only). No examination of the animal will take place at the clinic, and dogs should be on leashes and cats in carriers. Here are locations for the Oct. 15, 9 am-to-noon clinics: • Bobcaygeon – Three Island Veterinary Services (115 East St. N.) • Fenelon Falls – Fenelon Animal Clinic (474 County Road 121), NB – 9 am to 1 pm • Lindsay – Kawartha Animal Hospital (130 Angeline St. S.); Lindsay Animal Clinic (62 Lindsay St. S.); Victoria Veterinary Services (86 Russell St. W.) • Omemee – Omemee Veterinary Hospital (128 King St. W.)

Introducing Dr. O’Connell Dr. Courtney O’Connell fell in love with chiropractic at first sight.

“I’ve always had an appreciation for body science,” says the Lindsay native—now back in her home town to add her chiropractic expertise to Kawartha Care Wellness clinic’s already full suite of acupuncture, massage therapy and foot-care services.

“I knew I wanted to work in health care. But I particularly appreciate chiropractic’s emphasis on the mind-body connection and natural healing.”

“I love helping patients feel better with just my hands,” adds O’Connell, one of only a handful of women Chiropractors in Lindsay. “First and foremost, I’m hands-on.”

It’s been a long educational journey, she says—including four years of kinesiology at the University of Waterloo and four more at Toronto’s Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (the only one in Canada). But that means she brings her patients the benefits of the latest chiropractic developments and most up-to-date treatments.

We’re trained to treat the whole musculoskeletal system, explains O’Connell—and most importantly “to go beyond managing symptoms to address the underlying problems.” She will soon be able to add certified acupuncture provider to her list of qualifications.

Neck and back issues are most common, but she can also deal with sprains, strains and even the headaches they cause through her massage, adjustments and mobilization techniques.

“I also make sure to give my patients rehabilitative exercises, where appropriate, to help them help themselves.”

“You don’t need a doctor’s referral to see me,” says O’Connell. “Just call up and make an appointment. I’m here Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.”

Remains were cremated according to Buddhist rites, and interred in Colombo, Sri Lanka Buddhist cemetry. Gamini was a loving father and grandfather and a loyal friend. He leaves behind his daughter Helena, his grand daughters Alexa and Amelia aged 4 and 6, son-in-law George and exspouse and dear friend Ann De Zoysa.

Gamini shared a passion for life with friend and family, adding a certain unique flare to the lives of all he encountered. He was an avid adventure traveller; from scuba diving in the great barrier reef to hiking up Sigiriya rock in Sri Lanka. He had a passion and a skill for speed both racing cars and motorcycles and eventually becoming an avid collector and sharing his passion with friends and family. He was the most incredible father, friend and teacher to his daughter. He was a true spirit and soul. He is missed now and always.

With Love Helena, George, Alexa, Amelia and Ann

Sweet Harvest

Jerry Jerrard and Noah Pascoe recently began taking the honey off their bees’ hives. They take the super (top) off the hive, literally blow the bees out from the honey frames, then take the frames back to the workshop to remove the honey in an extractor.

Minaajim: Good Stories from Curve Lake Our ancestors are with us

As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka

Remember those stories I told about my grandmother and I paddling around to Fenelon Falls when I was a boy—selling ash and birch bark baskets, and other items made of elm bark? We got to know a lot of people along the shorelines then.

Now I wonder, in my old age, if any of those items are still around? They were extremely well made examples of exquisite craftsmanship and art.

I had been wondering lately how do I put the word out there? It would be nice to recover some items for our children to see—and learn from.

When these people we used to visit pass away, their kids often inherit their possessions, and many times this includes items my people made. Although some take care of these objects, many more do not know what to do with them.

We have a Cultural Centre at Curve Lake First Nation that is in the process of welcoming home and recovering our material heritage. This could be a good place for people to bring their items.

And then I found myself at Settlers’ Village in Bobcaygeon one night in early July as a guest speaker at a movie-night event that featured the Curve Lake production, “Oshkigmong: A Place Where I Belong.”

At the end of the evening a woman came over to me and introduced herself as Shelley Wild.

She told me her family had lived on the shoreline between Nogie’s Creek and Bobcaygeon for over 100 years. Then she told me that when she was a young girl, people from Curve Lake would come along and sell birch-bark, porcupine-quill baskets to her family, some of which she still has.

She also told a story about how a family from

Curve Lake came by to sell their goods. Her dad was sitting there on a chair, and suddenly it broke.

The man in the canoe from Curve Lake said: “Oh, you need a chair. I’ll go make one.” And he went off into the bush, got some sticks (as she put it) and made a chair. She still had it, and she kept it on her veranda.

I recently tried to reconnect with Shelley to see some of these items (as she’d told me she had others from Curve Lake and they could be things my grandmother and I had made).

But I received the sad news that she had passed away. I send my sincere condolences to the family.

It also saddened me to think that I may not get to see these things after all, or have my dream fulfilled of sharing them with the youth.

Time passed and I was slowly starting to let it go from my mind, when a phone call came in from a gentleman who said he’d been looking for me. He’d recently attended the Curve Lake Pow Wow, and had asked: “Who in Curve Lake makes stick chairs?

And where can I find that person?”

He was given my name but not where to find me—because I’m elusive and not often home.

What is odd about this is that Shelley Wild had not contacted him about our conversation. He told me on the phone that Shelley had a dream of giving her items back to Curve Lake, who would appreciate their significance and meaning the most. The Curve Lake Cultural Centre was then contacted.

There is something much more powerful than us at work here. Something wonderful is helping to facilitate this happening. MIIGWECH.

The Anishinaabe are a spiritual people. Our ancestors are around us, visit us, and love us. They assist us all the time with the work we must do . . . but that is another story.
