From my perch
I attended a different fall fair last weekend—the Curve Lake Pow Wow. Agricultural fairs and pow wows are both celebrations of communal culture and connection. Both feature parades (the pow wow’s “Grand Entry”). Both have booths selling crafts, clothing and foods. At pow wows it’s often fry bread, pickerel, wild rice, and “Indian Tacos.” Both give special recognition to their community’s military veterans. But this is often an even stronger value at pow wows—where both warriors and elders have a real place of honour—and the focus is more spiritually integrated. My favourite images from the Curve Lake Pow Wow: • Men and women as old as me, in full regalia, dancing with undimmed passion and commitment to their people’s cultural revival. • Young boys and girls doing the same—emulating the heroic spirit of their elders as they discover the power of drum and dance. • A parade of men and women, young
and old, coming to pay respects to elder Murray Whetung, seated at the centre, among the drummers. • Joining in the “inter-tribal” dances, feeling the grass beneath my shuffling feet, trembling leaves on the surrounding poplar trees, the September sun warm on my face. “At pow wows we gather in a circle,” says a note on the Curve Lake website. “Everyone is equal.” “Our dancers move in a circle, searching the ground for the footprints of our ancestors in order to follow their ways. The drum beats out the solemn rhythm of all creation. It is the sound we remember from before we were born. It is the rhythm of our mothers’ heartbeat.” editor@thepromoter.ca

Many will be affected
We are writing in response to Glenna Burn’s article (Housing or aggregates? Pick one, Aug. 26, page 6) concerning Trent Lakes choosing aggregates or homes. Many will be affected as a result of the former council’s decision (only current Mayor Bev Matthews, then a councillor, voted against it) in choosing the Dewdney Mountain application over the established homes on Ledge and Quarry roads. When the town meeting was held at the former bowling ally, many residents stood at the microphone asking council to not choose the quarry—but they did not listen. All those annoying sounds from an active quarry will travel well over the water to residents living on Nogies Creek. We chose to live here to hear the sounds of nature not quarries. When the winds are right, dust will arrive at our doorsteps. The majority of homes were established here before this application came about. Many in our area get their drinking water from Nogies Creek. There is the threat of ground water contamination and run off as there are proven Karst formations

(holes in the limestone) in the vicinity of the quarry application. The threat of water contamination is so real that the residents on Nogies Creek pay to have yearly water tests done. This will be the fifth year that we pay over $1,000 a year to have areas above and below the proposed quarry site tested for byproducts that are a threat from quarry activity. We do this on advice of a lawyer and hydrogeologist for baseline readings. Who will compensate us when property values drop if this quarry comes to fruition? Because Trent Lakes’ former council chose this mega-quarry application over people in houses, citizens of Trent Lakes and Bobcaygeon will experience major truck traffic, as if we don’t already have that problem. How often does a bridge have to be replaced due to heavy traffic? The Provincial Policy Statement says that social impacts should be considered before a quarry application is approved. Does not all of the above fall into this category? A small number of residents are still paying out of pocket to fight the application, and it is not over yet. Council can do what is right and reverse the former council’s decision; it has been done before in other municipalities. Aggregates or homes? The choice for aggregates comes with many negative repercussions, affecting people near and far. Ruth Pillsworth and Vince Virgilio Trent Lakes
Shameful publishing
I’m disappointed that you published that anonymous letter slagging off Kathleen Seymour-Fagan (Wasn’t that a party—except . . . ?, Sept. 9, page 4) Number one, it’s shameful to publish anonymous burn-book type letters. Number two, a bit of common sense dictates that Kawartha Coffee was licensed for the event, and if they are licensed they have to block off the area that is licensed. Same as Embers did for Midnight Madness, etc. It’s the law. So the poison pen is complaining about her following the law. Number three, Kathleen worked very hard to ensure the event happened, and no respect is given her for that. Again, I think it’s sad to print snide slams against someone whose work brought this event about. Yes, the sidewalk would have been free and clear if we’d all sat home in front of our televisions rather than gathering together in a show of support and unity for a dying man. Beth Gilroy Bobcaygeon
Making community groups pay
As a user of the Bobcaygeon Municipal Service Center I was told that as of Jan. 1, 2017 there will be an hourly charge of $16.50 applied to all users of the upstairs meeting rooms.
Please don’t get me wrong, I agree that if you are a private commercial user, there should be a nominal fee for use. However, the largest number of users are not-for-profit groups like the Social Media Party, Bobcaygeon Farmers Market, The Chamber of Commerce and many other small groups too numerous to mention. This is a real hardship for many of these groups. These groups, made up of dedicated volunteers are the real community builders. The council is mandated to encourage and nurture communitybuilding efforts, not ravage and destroy. The galling thing about all of this is that we have already paid for this service in our property taxes. My concern is that this is the thin end of the wedge. Community groups will start to meet elsewhere. When we undergo yet another round of service cuts, the Bobcaygeon service centre will be deemed underutilized and then scheduled for shut down. This is all part of the now defunct centralplanning mantra that these planners were taught. I have news for you fellas. It doesn’t work. Eatons and many others have taught us that. Readers, if you think this mantra is fantasy, try calling the service centre. You have to call Lindsay then it is re routed back to Bobcaygeon (705-3249411 ext. 3580). Small move upon small move, we are suffering from the “Death of a Thousand Cuts.” No single cut will kill you, or it may not even be noticed, but cumulatively they will prove deadly. This is the destruction of our communities for the sake of a defunct idea. We are demanding that this fee be waived for non-profit and community groups. Steve Clarke, Chair, Social Media Party Bobcaygeon
I give up on butts
I am resigning from my attempts to address cigarette butts in Bobcaygeon, today. It seems nobody notices the disgusting butts on the main drag outside establishments, under benches and around the garbage cans. Perhaps someone can champion this cause. Terracycle might help. Rotary or Lions might help. Best of luck to you. It’s a bigger job than a single volunteer can handle, but there could be a job sweeping up butts. Copy this simple, cheap idea. I love when people use my ideas. Whatever works. Litter loves litter. Adopt a Road is more than a sign. It’s one quarter of CKL’s Sustainability Plan. Time for an audit. Time for a pick-up challenge: Trent Lakes versus Kawartha Lakes. Build a mountain or do nothing. I did what I could. Wendy Smith

sells and sells and sells. You don’t say “no” to Willa. We start selling tickets in February at the first book sale and continue at each book sale through the summer, and at the Antiques and Collectibles Sale each third weekend of August. The draw takes place at 2 pm on the Sunday of the show. Only one ticket is drawn and that person can win up to $1,500—if all the tickets are sold. This year we sold every ticket and so the winner received $1,500. We win also (50 percent) but we have to take the cost of printing the tickets, license fees, etc., off our total. So next year when you see Willa sitting outside Foodland or at one of our book sales, stop by and give her a toonie and have a chance to win $1,500. Thanks for the support

It is interesting to note the preponderance of letters expressing serious concerns about the continued reduction in services (closing service centres, libraries, arenas, local halls, fire halls, etc.), and escalating taxes (20 percent in three years). We are experiencing a cutting of costs regardless of local impact—as a desperate attempt to keep the “city” financially afloat. These concerns are from all areas of the city, and reflect a sense of impotency to affect any meaningful change upon a mayor and his followers who are attempting to breath life into a form of government that was stillborn some 15 years ago. It is time citizens petition the provincial government for a binding referendum on either continuing the present disastrous form of single-tier government or returning to a two-tier local government that was both effective and efficient. Social media could prove a very effective way to garner support for such a referendum. Fred Brecht Coboconk
City Hall Is Fenelon’s old arena land surplus? By Pat Warren
Ward 6 Councillor Doug Elmslie’s motion to remove the land where the old Fenelon Falls arena once stood from a list of surplus properties was defeated at council Aug. 30. Elmslie argued that the downtown-Fenelon property, which currently is being used for the local farmers market, should be retained for the community. He said this piece of land is too small, has limited value and would not be appropriate for a housing project. It’s next to the fire department, is in a flood plain and the village is in the middle of a corridor study that could see a use for this land. “This land is critical for the growth of Fenelon Falls,” he argued. The decision to list a property as surplus has to be advertised three times, so people still have a chance to voice their concerns and/or make a deputation. The Lands Committee will gather and consider ideas from the public before listing land as surplus to be sold. The committee’s decision does not necessarily have to come back to council for ratification. Ward 5 Councillor Stephen Strangway, who seconded the motion, said the corridor study may suggest as many as 15-17 parking spots be removed to allow for better traffic flow in the village. The old arena land could be used for overflow parking of cars and boat trailers. Many councillors were sympathetic, but believe tough decisions have to be made. We don’t have the luxury of holding on to properties just because people may want to, said Mayor Andy Letham. Ward 2 Councillor Emmett Yeo said the land should be declared surplus, as it would only be “nice to keep.” Ward 7 Councillor Brian Junkin wanted “staff to investigate.” In the recorded vote, councillors Elmslie, Strangway, Isaac Breadner (Ward 9), Heather Stauble (W16) and John Pollard (W8) supported the resolution. Letham, Junkin, Yeo, Pat Dunn (W10), Mary Ann Martin (W15), Patrick O’Reilly (W11), Gord James (W12), Gord Miller (W3), and Andrew
Veale (W4) voted against. Councillors Kathleen Seymour-Fagan (W13), Gerard Jileson (W14), and Rob Macklem (W1) were absent. It will be interesting to see what happens when other pieces of land are presented as surplus in the months to come.
Blandings turtles a development issue By Glenna Burns
Many important Ontario Municipal Board hearings and decisions have been based on the presence of “threatened” Blanding’s turtles on wetland sites slated for development or mining. One hearing that began Sept. 13 in Woodview is the Fraser Wetlands case on Stoney Lake. Another ongoing issue is the Dewdney Mountain Farms mega quarry development near Nogies Creek. Success in saving such areas from development and environmental destruction rests almost solely on the shelled backs of these animals. On Labour Day, off Bass Lake Road, six little Blanding’s turtles hatched into being. All summer they had developed in their fragile eggs, sheltered in a gravel hole about 17 cms deep, and covered by a sheet of plywood. “We watched the mother lay her eggs on June 2,” explained Janet Klein. “We were worried about raccoons eating the eggs as they had other years so

we decided to go further to protect the eggs.” Janet and David Klein nurtured those eggs all summer. The spot on the driveway where mother Blanding’s chose to dig was very much in the line of traffic. The first turtle hatched around 3 pm on Labour Day” said Janet. The last was born around 9 pm, requiring flashlights in the birthing room/driveway. David is a doctor and Janet a nurse so both were well qualified to act as turtle caregivers. Turtles are some of the most interesting and important animals in the eco-system. Their healthy presence in wetlands indicates clean water just as the proverbial canary in the coal mine represents clean air. Blanding’s turtles (Emydoidea blandingii) are easily identified by their bright yellow throats and chins. The domed shell resembles an army helmet. Blanding’s begin very small but can mature to 27 cms (10 inches). Blanding’s turtles like to live in shallow water like Nogies Creek, where there are plenty of water plants for food. It’s also not unusual to find them

Kawartha lakes roundup
WATER MAINS—The Small Communities Fund of New Building Canada is giving over $5 million to support a six-year project to replace ageing smalldiameter cast-iron water mains in Lindsay. Cast-iron mains, especially those over 80-100 years old, are prone to corrosion, leakage and breaks. Replacing them will improve the safety, reliability and efficiency of the water distribution system. With the grant, the project could be completed as early as 2021, three years earlier than anticipated. The project is expected to cost $8.6 million, over $5.7 million of which will be jointly financed by the provincial and federal governments. The remaining third of the cost will be collected through the city’s water-user rates. UNASSUMED ROADWAYS: City staff will hold a public information session on maintenance standards for unassumed and private roadways at Coronation Hall, Omemee, this Saturday, Sept. 24, from 9-11 am. A formal presentation at 9:15 will offer an overview of the core service review regarding these maintenance standards, along with alternatives being considered. The floor will be opened for questions after the presentation and attendees can meet members of the study team and provide comments. If you are interested but can’t attend, email: rporter@city.kawarthalakes.on.ca.

OWN-LAWYER IS INTEGRITY COMMISSIONER: TL council on the recommendation of staff has appointed their own municipal lawyer, John M. Ewart as the new Integrity Commissioner. Since 2012, Ewart and his firm Ewart O’Dwyer of Peterborough have specialized in municipal law. Councillor Peter Raymond asked whether appointing a municipal employee was a conflict of interest. “Would it be better to hire a different lawyer?” he asked.

WANTED—20 GOOD PEOPLE: A new Lions Club may be coming to TL if 20 people commit to it. Jean Graham from the Newcastle Lions Club told a receptive council that “volunteering provides opportunity to give back.” Membership is $75 to $90 a year with usually two two-hour meetings each month. An information meeting will be held on Thursday, Oct. 20, at 7 pm in the Buckhorn Community Centre. SHARING BASS LAKE ROAD: New “Share the Road” signs will soon appear on Bass Lake Road. The new signage was in response to a presentation by Janet Klein, a resident on the road, who was worried about speeding traffic and pedestrians. She requested reduced speed in parts of the road to 35 km. Public Works superintendent Ivan Coombs proposed these signs to council instead of reducing speeds. He felt that if the precedent was set on Bass Lake Road then other areas would want reduced speeds too. $3.44 A DAY: Ever wondered what you get for your tax dollar? TL treasurer Donna Teggart has broken the numbers down. The average property tax in TL is $3,023 annually. The municipality receives 41 cents for every dollar collected. That’s about $1,254 for every yearly tax bill, $104.52 a month, or $3.44 a day. Your $3.44 pays for protective services, transportation infrastructure, governance and administration, fire and emergency services, parks, recreation, 911 and capital programs.
Canadian Club marks 80 years
A former dean of history at Lakefield College will be the guest speaker, Oct. 12, when the Lindsay Canadian Club holds its first dinner meeting of the season. John Boyko’s talk will be based on his latest book, Cold Fire: Kennedy’s Northern Front, which examines the important Kennedy/Diefenbaker spat in the 1960s about whether intercontinental ballistic missiles on Canadian soil should be armed with nuclear warheads. The Lindsay Canadian Club is marking its 80th anniversary this year. Over 400 men attended the first enthusiastic meeting on October 10, 1936. Women could not become members until 1954. The club has been active ever since. There’ll be celebratory cake and bubbly for members and guests to mark the anniversary at the

Library is for makers, players—and readers
Libraries are about more than just reading. They’re also meeting places for people to indulge common interests. Kawartha Lakes Library is partnering with the Kawartha Art Gallery to offer monthly “Maker Space” events at the gallery on the second floor of the Lindsay Library on Sept. 17, Oct. 15, and Nov. 12, from 10 am to 1 pm. Maker Space events promote inventing, playing, designing and building together. Among other group activities, Bethany branch has a scrabble club, Coboconk library users enjoy crafts and coffee together, Little Britain has quilting, Kirkfield offers needlecrafts and djembe drumming, and in Norland they knit. New this fall (starting Oct. 3), the Fenelon Falls branch presents Monday events at 2 pm with themes like Colour Your World, I-Pad Mondays, BYOCrafts, and It’s all Games. For old-school readers, book clubs are starting up again soon. They offer opportunities to read
a variety of titles, meet new friends and enjoy conversation about books and life. Many of the Kawartha Lakes branches— including Coboconk, Dunsford, Fenelon Falls, Lindsay, Little Britain, Norland, Oakwood and Woodville—have monthly book-club programs, and can provide sets of books for clubs to borrow en masse. See kawarthalakeslibrary.ca for dates and times (calendar of events), and available titles—or ask any library staffer for assistance.
Church Doings
RETURN TO BELLA BELLA: It’s a community so beautiful, they named it twice, says Rev. Rodney Smith-Merkley. He, wife Suzanne, and their three children—now at Bobcaygeon’s Trinity United Church—returned to Bella Bella this summer, to revisit the church and community they first served on British Columbia’s central coast. On Sunday, Oct. 2, they’ll share stories from their visit to this isolated Heiltsuk First Nation community of 1,400 people—which will also host royal couple, William and Kate, this fall. “At one point we saw humpback and killer whales swimming, while a mamma grizzly and her three cubs were munching on mussels,” says Rodney. Learn about the reality of the Indian Residential schools—which impacted many generations of that community—and about healing and reconciliation. Hear about Koeye Camp, which

Enjoy a light, tasting lunch featuring traditional Heiltsuk foods: salmon, halibut, and seaweed—followed by the presentation. SISTERS IN SPIRIT VIGIL: All are welcome to gather at Trinity United, Bobcaygeon, at 4 pm on Tuesday, Oct. 4, to participate in a vigil to honour the lives of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls, and to support grieving families and seek opportunities for healing. The “Sisters in Spirit” Vigil (held across the country every Oct. 4 and hosted locally by the Bobcaygeon Truth and Reconciliation Chapter), will begin with a moment of silence and an honour song. Participants will then line a nearby road with self-made signs and messages of solidarity. “The violence experienced by Aboriginal women and girls in Canada is a national tragedy,” says the Native Women’s Association of Canada webpage. “United we can demand action on an issue that impacts us all.” Contact Rodney at 705738-5136, or visit www.trcbob.wordpress.com. WHAT IS AN ANGLICAN: Have you ever wondered? Anglicans say they’re the “middle way” between Protestants and Catholics, and their church is a “big tent.” Spend a day at St. James Anglican Church, Fenelon Falls, with retired Bishop Michael Bedford-Jones, who’s passionate about church
history, and renowned for his gifts of humour and storytelling. Bring your questions, suggests the bishop—and one thing that fascinates, one thing that puzzles and one thing that irritates you about the Anglican Church. Saturday, Oct. 15, from 10 am to 4 pm. The day costs $15 with a lovely lunch served by the Anglican Church Women. But don’t let the cost stop you—assistance is available. Call the church office at 705-887-2537, or email fenelonanglican@i-zoom.net. JUSTICE IN THE BIBLICAL STORY: Join theologian and storyteller Sylvia Keesmat to explore questions of justice in four Thursday evening sessions (7-9 pm on Oct. 20 and 27, and Nov. 3 and 10) at Fenelon’s St. James Anglican Church. Discover what justice looked like in biblical times and how the justice of God is always at work to bring life and healing to the most vulnerable. Cost for all four sessions is $25—or pay what you can. Call 705-887-2537 for info.

Shopping-cart push for homeless youth
Members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Anti-Rackets Branch and City of Kawartha Lakes OPP Detachment have been helping “push for change” for homeless youth. Push for Change is a national awareness and youth empowerment campaign developed by Joe Roberts to focus on ending youth homelessness. Roberts is pushing a shopping cart across Canada. And local and other OPP helped out too, doing their bit for Roberts in their own walk/bike/ sleep-out challenge. Roberts is making stops along his route to speak about the struggles he faced as a homeless youth in British Columbia. It wasn’t until he was in crisis back home in Ontario that assistance came from an OPP officer who responded to the call that ultimately set him on a path of change. Roberts got the help he needed, and went on to graduate college on the Dean’s list and become a successful CEO. Now he is paying it forward. The OPP have partnered with The Push for Change campaign, as Roberts makes his way through Ontario to raise awareness about risk factors and vulnerabilities affecting homeless youth. Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 13 at the City of Kawartha Lakes OPP Detachment, members of the OPP Anti-Rackets Branch and the City of Kawartha Lakes OPP supported him by walking, biking and sleeping outdoors. They started in Lindsay and walked 40 kilometres along Highway 35 to Kawartha Lakes Road 6, and to Highway 12, spending the night outside along the way. The next morning, they bicycled the rest of the way to OPP General Headquarters in Orillia, arriving at about noon. The money they raised will be allocated to school-based strategies to reduce the number of young people who become homeless.
One-Bag Challenge comes to Caygeon
The Bobcaygeon Foodbank—the only independent food bank left in Ontario—is challenging all of Bobcaygeon and area to help out during Hunger Awareness Month (September, but don’t let October stop you) in its “One-Bag Challenge” against hunger. Conceived by Kelowna, British Columbia Mayor Colin Basran, The One Bag Challenge is a spinoff of the ALS Bucket Challenge. In this case, one person donates a bag of food, then challenges three more
people to do the same. Bags of groceries can be dropped off in the bins at Strang’s Valu-mart, Foodland, in Port 32, or at the Food Bank (43 Sherwood Street) on Wednesdays from 9:30-11 am. Most needed items include: cereal, canned stews, canned fruit, apple or pineapple juice, pasta sauce, peanut butter and toiletries like shampoo, toothbrushes, and deodorant. Please check expiry dates. Bobcaygeon Helps Food Bank—a registered charity run by local churches and dedicated volunteers—will use all food and funds collected to

From foodies to food banks
Canadians are increasingly obsessed with food. We discuss with wild excitement the restaurants we’ve been to, or hope to visit. We share photographs of our favourite dishes on social media. Yet, as the foodie movement continues to gain momentum, so too does the use of food banks in this country—which has increased by 25 per cent over the last seven years. This year, Kawartha Lakes Food Source (KLFS) hopes to interrupt our fascination with food during Hunger Awareness Week (Sept. 19-23), and encourage us to focus instead on the hunger in our midst. Hunger Awareness Week (hungerawarenessweek. ca) is an annual campaign that challenges Canadians to learn more about the issue, the important work of food banks across the country and how, together, Canadians can find community and structural solutions to hunger. “Hunger is an issue many Canadians are not comfortable talking about,” says KLFS General Manager Heather Kirby. But “we are going to interrupt the food conversation so that the voice of hunger can be considered.” More than 776 people used food banks in Kawartha Lakes this past month. And Food Banks Canada reports nearly 850,000 Canadians—37 percent of them children—rely on food banks every month. Close to 4 million Canadians are considered “food insecure”—meaning they often do not know where their next meal is coming from. Across Canada, more than 800 food banks and 2,900 affiliated agencies are working to help feed the hungry. “Let’s give hunger a chance to be heard as loudly as the foodie movement,” says Kirby. KLFS is a centralized warehouse that collects and provides food to ten local food banks in Kawartha Lakes. It also supports 20 schools through its Grab N’ Grow breakfast and lunch program.

Bobcaygeon is Hip-Town
Bobcaygeon is Hip-Town, says local businessman Dave Poole. And in creating that brand, Poole and his staff at Buckeye Surf and Snow have managed to raise $23,000 for the Gord Downie Brain Cancer Research Fund. He’ll be delivering the money to the Sunnybrook Hospital program in Toronto sometime around the end of the month. Poole started the campaign to create and sell Hip-Town t-shirts, hoodies and caps even before news that Bobcaygeon would be closing Bolton Street to simulcast the Tragically Hip’s last concert on Aug. 20. Then, when that news broke (See Caygeon Street Party to honour Tragically Hip, Aug. 12, page17)— Poole brought out new t-shirts commemorating the concert date—and sales really took off. “On the day of the concert,” he says, “we sold out 1,000 t-shirts in three hours.” The inscription on the back of the t-shirts said: “On Aug. 20, 2016, we came together. It was in Bobcaygeon, under the constellations. As one. For Gord.” Buckeye pledged $5 to the cancer fund from the proceeds of every Hip-Town item sold, which means overall they sold 4,600 shirts, hoodies or caps to make the $23,000 donation. It was such a great campaign, says Poole, that he has trademarked the concept and created “Hip-Town Apparel.” He intends to continue sales on-line and

Fleming’s Moveable Feast a 100-mile dinner
Fleming College’s Frost Campus will host a celebration of local food on Saturday, Oct. 1, in support of student learning and the community. Fleming’s Moveable Feast, a unique 100-mile dining experience, will take place at the Lindsay campus, 200 Albert St. S., and will feature locally sourced ingredients prepared by Chef Marty Vanden Anker of Aramark. Students will also showcase campus programs. A silent and live auction will feature an array of items including: a framed Robert Bateman print; $2,000 in advertising; two one-year adult memberships to the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM); a one-year family membership to the Canadian Canoe Museum; and four hand-painted tables. Proceeds from the event will go toward the Kawartha Lakes United Way as well as Fleming’s School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences (SENRS). “Hosting an event such as this brings individuals together to experience a delicious, sustainable meal and allows us to share the many wonderful things happening here at the campus,” said Linda Skilton,
SENRS Dean and Principal of the Frost Campus. The local United Way provides invaluable programming for citizens of all ages. It’s “a great way for us to give back to the people of the City of Kawartha Lakes.” Tickets are $35 and the feast will take place from 5-8:30 p.m. For tickets, visit flemingmoveablefeast. eventbrite.ca or call 866-353-6464, ext. 3028. You can also visit Fleming Moveable Feast on Facebook.
Choristers Corner How quickly we forget
By April Scott
The choir is back in full swing on Tuesday nights, and as they reviewed some Beatle music, they soon realized “How quickly we forget.” Sectional practices are scheduled for the next two weeks, which will probably help. The choristers welcomed newcomer Sharon Howard from Sturgeon Point. Sharon came from Sarnia and sang there with April Scott in a large group, entertaining the Sarnia people with two productions per year. It was nice to see some of the residents enjoying our practice and sing along once again. Coffee and cookies were back on the menu and we once again thank the staff for these—and for the use of the room, and those comfortable chairs. Christmas music is about to come out of storage as we change topics in October to prepare for the upcoming season. One event is already booked.

Welcome to the
Bobcaygeon Fall Fair
Buddy and Barney love to pull
By Glenna Burns
It’s Fall Fair time in the Kawarthas and the “Daddy of ‘em all” in Bobcaygeon begins the evening of Sept. 29 with the thunderous and exciting Demolition Derby. For those who enjoy a more traditional contest of strength and endurance however, there are the ever-
popular Horse Pulls starting on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 1, at 3:30. This year the Bobcaygeon Fair features two classes of horses in the pull—light (1,750 lbs) and heavy (4,200-5,000 lbs). Steve Saunders, local businessman and horse lover, competes in the light horse class with his Belgian draft horses, Buddy and Barney. In fact Steve’s two horses traveled all the way to the Calgary Stampede this July where they took home third prize pulling 11,500 pounds. Horse pulling is a challenging hobby that takes training and dedication. It began here in Canada with lumbering. Teams and single horses were used in the bush to bring out logs. As with everything, competitions sprang up to see who had the strongest, most willing horses. As Steve says, “horses are a lot like people; they let you know if they don’t want to do it.” Buddy and Barney obviously do want to do it, as they have pulled 13 times this summer, taking home seven firsts, five seconds and a third place at the Calgary Stampede. Steve, who is a director with the Central Canadian Horse Pulling Association, explained the basic rules: “Each team gets two tries to pull 4-5,000 lbs 15 feet.

After each round another 1,000 lbs is added to the stone boat. Winning teams can usually pull up to 11,000 lbs (light horse).” Weather conditions can also be a factor, he says. Rainy, wet conditions make the pulling easier so real competitors prefer dry ground. Rain or shine, don’t miss out on this exciting tradition at the 158th annual Bobcaygeon Fall Fair.

Masons celebrate 100 at Caygeon Fair parade
As the Bobcaygeon Fall Fair celebrates its 158th anniversary, the Victoria District Masonic Lodge is marking its centennial. That means upwards of 100 Masons will participate in the fair parade on Saturday, Oct. 1. Port Perry town crier Bill McKee, a retired Toronto police officer and a Mason, will lead the Masonic contingent, which will include a motorcycle brigade, pipers and drummers, vintage vehicles, and floats from the 14 Lodges in Victoria District, plus the Deputy Grand Master. Also new this year will be the Rameses Hillbilly Shrine Club’s broken-down, patched-up, vintage moonshiner’s truck—with members in appropriate costume. Don’t miss it.

Keep your fork—There’s pie at breast-cancer fundraiser
Get ready for a fabulous evening of fashion, auctions and Thanksgiving dinner (with pie, so keep your fork) as Bigley Shoes and Clothing lends a hand to Therese Scheer’s latest project towards raising $100,000 over 10 years to fight breast cancer. “I could never do this by myself,” Scheer emphasizes. Over the years, she’s had so much help from merchants and golf course owners, and others who have donated their time and energy, she says. But it was when Sherry Peel and her staff at Bigleys suggested—“If you need any help to reach your goal, we could do a fashion show”—that this latest project really took off.
So now, the Harvest for Hope “pink carpet dinner and runway show” is set for Thursday, Oct. 6 at the Victoria Park Armoury in Lindsay. Cocktails will be served from 6 pm, with a full Thanksgiving dinner beginning at 7 pm—catered on a voluntary basis by Dianne’s Country Cooking (where the pie comes from) and her staff. The fashion show starts at 8:30, and “it should be fabulous,” says Therese, with all the amazing clothing, shoes and accessories from Bigleys, and participation by breast-cancer survivors. Bigleys will offer a silent auction of clothing and shoes, and there’ll also be a Country Auction (if you don’t know how that works, look forward to finding out when you get there—it’s simple). By year nine of her decade-long campaign— Therese has raised nearly $90,000. So she’s right on track to make her $100,000 goal by the end of next year (See, Partnerships are RMH’s ‘Scheer’ delight, Sept. 9, page 30). Everything she raises— including at this latest Thanksgiving dinner—goes to support the breast health program at Lindsay’s Ross Memorial Hospital. Tickets for the whole event are $60, and you can get them at Bigley Shoes and Clothing, 39 Bolton St., Bobcaygeon, or in Lindsay at A Buy and Sell Shop, 31 Kent St. W. Reservations are available for tables of 10, and there’ll even be limited bus service to and from Bobcaygeon for the event, courtesy of J. and K. Devitt Services.

Always a child waiting to meet you
September is Big Brother Big Sister Month across Big Sister of the year, Rawn, with Canada—and here her little sister Annarose in Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton, more than 50 children are waiting right now for an adult to help mentor them. Volunteers provide so many opportunities and
wonderful new experiences to children through mentoring programs, says Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kawartha Lakes-Haliburton. Volunteer mentors help children and youth reach their full potential and make positive decisions that will affect their lives for years to come. Their commitment has a huge impact on individual children—and on the community. Volunteering as a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters can take as little as one hour a week through their In-School Mentoring program. There is always a child waiting to meet you. If you are interested in this kind of friendship, call 705-324-6800, or visit www. bigbrothersbigsisters.info.

Minaajim: Good Stories from Curve Lake First Nation Shawnigun
As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka
SHAWNIGUN (roughly, “of the southern direction”) was a guy who knew how to live off the land. He had a family, but he also kept a cabin on Fox Island, and he would live there alone. I would visit him, and he would tell me stories. I fished with him quite a bit too. One time, when we were hunting ducks in the spring, everything got quiet later in the day and Shawnigun said: “Well, I’m gonna go fish there on the ice.” He pointed to a large piece of floating ice across the water. He paddled out to it and lay down flat on his stomach on the ice. He was doing a type of fishing where you have a lure on a line in one hand and a gaff in the other. And of course you are lying flat and covered by a white sheet—because we had to fish secretly at one time. So there I am on the island, watching him
drifting around on a piece of ice. I could hear him singing softly while he watched for fish. Shawnigun believed fish loved country music, especially Hank Williams. And so he drifted along all over the place, fishing, and singing his songs. Finally I see him get up after about four hours. He stretched, packed up his blanket and got in his canoe and paddled back over to me. I said: “Hey Shawnigun what did you get?” He said: “Nothing.” I said: “Nothing? What were you doing?” Shawnigun replied: “Watching the scenery go by. I had a marvelous time watching the bottom go by. What a beautiful view of the lake.” Another time when I was out duck hunting in my own canoe on the shores of Fox Island I saw Shawnigun in a duck blind. I pulled up and joined him. Apparently he was having good luck. After a couple hours of chatting and sitting my stomach rumbled. “Geez, I’m hungry,“ I said. He said: “I gotta sandwich here for ya.” And he hands it to me. I ate it all. After I finished he says: “Where’s my half? That’s the only sandwich I had.” I still feel guilty about that. But he was paying attention to the ducks and not me. May MANITO (Creator) rest his soul. He passed away in the 1980s. Shawnigun also picked MANOOMIN (wild rice) with me, and I had many adventures doing that activity with him . . . but that is another story.

Horoscopes
For Sept. 23 – Oct. 6 Melodie McCullough
Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) It’s September, and back-toschool time for so many. Even if you are not attending a real school, Aquarius, don’t let it stop you from LEARNING. It’s a handsome goal to learn something new every day. Try it. Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) As a Pisces, you are known for your generosity and good nature. You are sensitive and sympathetic to those in distress. You may not realise how many people count on you—but they most certainly do. Aries (March 21 to April 20) Looking for some creative inspiration, Aries? Or just want to enjoy a drive in the countryside? Get out and take in the beautiful natural surroundings that the Kawarthas have to offer in autumn. It will refresh your mind and soul. Taurus (April 21 to May 21) It’s your turn for romance, Taurus. Did you think it was passing you by? No way. The planets are saying your time has come. Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Hope is a very special thing, dear Gemini. Without it, all is lost. With it, all things are possible. Keep hope in your heart. Cancer (June 23 to July 23) “With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts”—Eleanor Roosevelt. That’s right, Cancer, every day is an opportunity. No matter how hard today is, tomorrow is a lovely promise. Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) We sense you are at a crossroads,
Leo, trying to decide which path to take. There is no easy answer. Talk to friends. Talk to yourself. You WILL find the right way. Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) One of your Virgo traits is that you are very analytical. You may find lots of people turning to you for advice because of this. If you don’t mind, then go ahead and help them out – your wise words will be valued. Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) You may be required to make an individual commitment to a group effort at work or school, Libra. Don’t let the others down. They are counting on you, just as you are counting on them. It’s called team work, so play ball. Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Stress—yes, that one word sends us all into a tizzy. When faced with a situation that bothers you, an attitude for which you don’t care, or a task that is bogging you down, ask yourself: “Will I care about this five years from now?” No doubt you can figure out the answer. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) You are off to a good start this fall, Sagittarius. Don’t spoil it. Keep your eye on the ball. Keep telling yourself you can do whatever you set out to do. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan 20) Health issues may concern you at this time or in the near future, Capricorn. Be sure to recognise your physical limits. Do not be ashamed or embarrassed to admit to these. Your health is your best friend.

Health & Wellness Wake up—you won’t smell the fentanyl
The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit (DHU) has joined other agencies, including the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, to call for a co-ordinated response to prevent a potential flood of bootleg fentanyl entering the province. British Columbia, Alberta and American states bordering Ontario have seen a surge in bootleg fentanyl recently—and a rise in overdoses and deaths. In B.C., record-breaking overdose deaths have led officials to declare a public health emergency. The DHU predicts Ontario will not be immune to the same problem. One of every eight deaths among young adults in Ontario is already related to an opioid overdose.
“We’re encouraging local service providers and other agencies to be aware of the problem here, so that they can better respond to it,” says Shawn Woods, Manager of Communicable Disease Control, Epidemiology and Evaluation with the health unit. “We also want the Ontario government to show leadership and work with all groups to take immediate steps to respond to the problem.” While fentanyl is a legitimate and powerful painkiller prescribed by doctors, it is also a highdose, highly-addictive, illicit opioid, much more toxic than morphine. Canada and the United States have the highest per capita volume of opioids dispensed in the world. In Ontario, bootleg fentanyl has been detected in heroin and cocaine, and reportedly in crystal meth and ecstasy. It can come as powder, or as counterfeit pills manufactured to resemble other prescription opioids like Percocet and Oxycontin. Many people using substances will be unaware their drugs have been contaminated by bootleg fentanyl, which makes for a higher risk of overdose. It cannot be detected by sight, smell or taste. It may even be dangerous for first responders, hospital staff, and others, who can be accidentally exposed by skin contact or inhalation. In any opioid overdose, seconds matter. Naloxone is the emergency medicine used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Woods encourages anyone who is an opioid user—prescribed or not— to immediately get a kit. “Having naloxone available

Teen volunteers go above and beyond
Ross Memorial Hospital’s VolunTEEN program recently presented awards to deserving teen volunteers. Madison Jezegou, who has volunteered over 315 hours in Continuing Care at the hospital since June 2014, was the Award of Excellence winner. Madison is a very talented singer, dancer and pianist, and has been known to tickle the ivories for the patients, says VolunTEEN Coordinator Patricia Zahorec. Jesica Bryans, who has volunteered in both Emergency and Dialysis since 2013, when she was 14 years old, received the Anne Harrison Award— presented to teens in their last year of high school who have been accepted into health sciences at either a university or college. Jesica, who had accumulated 373 volunteer hours by the end of July, is off to Cambrian College, and “we all wish her well,” says Zahorec. “She has been a great help in sharing her time with our patients.”

A RINGING ENDORSEMENT
Tinnitus also known as ringing in the ears often accompanies hearing loss. In fact, most tinnitus can be traced to noise-induced damage and age-related changes that occur among the sound-sensing “hair cells” of the inner ear. With this in mind, individuals who experience ringing or buzzing noises in their ears that does not come from an external source should have their hearing tested. The first in a series of annual audiograms can set a baseline for measuring future changes. In cases of mild tinnitus, a bedside white noise machine can help mask the ringing that tinnitus sufferers hear in their heads. In more severe cases, using a hearing aid to provide clear sound at a sufficient volume may distract the brain from tinnitus. Tinnitus is subjective affects people in different ways. For some, it’s a minor annoyance. For others, it can result in issues such as sleep disruption, stress, distraction, anxiety, depression, and employment challenges. To schedule a hearing test, please give us a call. Here you’ll find a wide variety of hearing aids in many colors, shapes, and sizes. P.S. Tinnitus is not a condition in and of itself, but a symptom of an underlying condition such as hearing loss, ear injury, or a circulatory system disorder.

No more smoke screen
“When young people see smoking in movies, they’re more likely to start using tobacco products themselves,” says Karen Taylor, a Public Health Nurse with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit. So it’s important that movies “be made smoke-free.” The unit is joining with other Ontario health units and the Ontario Lung Association to promote the #SmokeFreeMovies campaign—encouraging local residents to lobby provincial politicians to ensure movies rated for Ontario children and teenagers do not show tobacco products and smoking images (see smokefreemovies.ca). “If the Ontario Film Review Board considers language, nudity, violence, sexual activity, horror and psychological impact when assigning ratings to movies, why not do the same for tobacco and smoking?” says Taylor.
