From my perch
New Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Carolyn Bennett has announced she will soon begin consulting with Canadians on how best to launch a national public inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and children. I have worked on issues of justice and right relations between settler Canadians and Indigenous peoples for a number of years. But even so, I still keep learning. I just read, from the Native Women’s Association of Canada, that Indigenous women are three times more likely to be killed by a stranger The Promoter is a local, independently owned and operated than are non-Indigenous women. news magazine. The opinions and views expressed are those I knew the difference was high, of the contributors and do not necessarily reflect those of The Promoter. Liability for incorrectly displayed or placed but not that high. advertisements is limited to publishing corrections or providing advertising credit to be applied on subsequent advertisements And while 84 percent of homicides at the advertiser’s discretion. of non-Aboriginal women are cleared, only 54 percent of Indigenous women victims even lead to charges. Our previous Prime Minister said the issue was not on his government’s radar. In 2014, the Toronto Star reported him saying: “We should not view this as sociological phenomenon.
We should view it as crime . . . against innocent people.” To me it’s clear that this is part of the ongoing legacy of colonization and racism that continues to keep many Indigenous people in cycles of poverty, making them more vulnerable to becoming victims—and less likely for society to concern itself with solving the crimes. I would say it is part of the legacy of sexism too, and in many ways it is. But I have also been surprised to discover that in fact Indigenous men are murdered at even higher rates than women. I hope that becomes part of the story in the national inquiry. The real value of a national inquiry is that it brings information like the above—and the personal stories— before the public eye in a significant, ongoing way. Look how the Truth and Reconciliation Commission raised public consciousness about residential schools. Changing a national understanding is a long, slow process, but each commission or inquiry is another step, making it harder for us to not know the shameful history of CanadaIndigenous relations. editor@thepromoter.ca

An apology to Karl Illini
It seems that letter writer Donna Watson was very wide of the mark (completely off the mark, in fact) when she wrote that Karl Illinni “and his family were ‘boat people’ the community sponsored to come to Canada—a house, clothing, food, etc.—in the 1970s” (Reflections on the fair, refugees, and butts, Oct. 30, page 4). No such thing, says Karl, who was born in France and grew up in Austria. He told The Promoter he paid his own way as an immigrant to Canada in 1964, and moved to Bobcaygeon in 1987 where he raised three children as a single parent, supported the family through his art work, and has been honoured for 25 years of volunteering in the community. “I didn’t flee from anybody,” Karl told us, and I never even tried to get government assistance. We apologize to Karl for the error, and take this opportunity to remind our readers that they have a legal responsibility to be sure of their facts before they send us a letter for publication. We do not have the resources to do their fact checking for them. Donna certainly got one thing right, however, when she wrote that Karl “became a real asset to Bobcaygeon.” We couldn’t agree more about that.
summer visitors, to add what they could to make the dream come true. We are so close to the million dollars needed that victory can be tasted. One can look at the history of Boyd Island and say that it has seen a lot and if only it could talk the stories it would tell. Well to all the folks who have supported the Boyd Island Campaign, you are writing another chapter in the island’s lore. It is not a story of exploration, logging or raising beefalo, but rather a story of how a community came together to preserve something special for generations to come. Examples of stepping up for the future generations include the men and women of the Trent Lakes fire department, many of whom are volunteers and giving already. How wide is the opportunity seen? One needs look no further than the Big Bald Lake Cottagers Association. Have businesses seen the importance of island? Yes thanks to British Empire Fuels who led the way with their pledge. The directors of the North Pigeon Ratepayers Association (NPLRA) have now pledged two acres with their own monies in addition to personal pledges. NPLRA also sponsored four more acres from money raised from their successful Colour Cruise. Yes, I am both proud and thankful of our community for they have indeed stepped up. They not only talk the talk but they walk the walk.

How quickly the balance of power can swing in a totally different direction following an election. We now have a complete new federal government, and a complete new agenda. Riding to power on a campaign designed to get Canadians back to work, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals promised a very significant sum of funds in the form of grants will be made available to communities for any number of municipal improvements, including for community transportation needs. Sounds like “Justin time” assistance could be on our doorstep. Can you spell “rural bus line revival?” The new mandate will provide an opportunity for our City of Kawartha Lakes leaders to get in
line with an application for a transportation grant along with other needed infrastructure funds. Opportunities for the unemployed constitutents throughout the city must be a top priority. Our region is on the doorstep of tremendous growth, bringing with it the opportunity to expand our business sector, creating ever increasing employment opportunities (including part-time work for our teenagers). If and when that comes about, public transportation will be even more critical. Employers need to be confident that workers have a reliable and dependable source. Now is the time to prepare. Details regarding the granting of infrastructure funds will be rolled out over the next few months as Trudeau’s new cabinet ministers take hold of the reins of power. With winter right around the corner, our leaders will hopefully be making plans to “grab the brass ring” as soon as the opportunities present themselves. “Justin time” opportunities of this sort come along very infrequently. Let’s not be in the “yousnooze-you-lose” line.
back number. We don’t normally print comments without attribution, but in this case feel the comment is worth airing–editor.) I have never called into a publication before. Regarding issue 21, the editor’s From my Perch, by John Bird, fourth paragraph, referring to the Conservatives’ “propensity to see Islamic, Indigenous and environmental opposition as terrorist threats” (Oct. 30, page 3). Is that implying that Indigenous issues and environmental issues are being rated the same as Islamic terrorist threats? It’s a comment that is way over the top and needs a retraction and an apology. I can’t see this coming from any publication. So it would be appropriate I think if you have some kind of retraction and apology on that. It insults a hell of a lot of people, not only the Conservatives but also the Indigenous people, and certainly the conservative movement as well. Thanks for letting me bend your ear. You certainly got my attention. Anonymous

NEW STORY COLLECTION
Readers who miss Melda Clark’s columns that used to run in The Kawartha Promoter with ads for Bobcaygeon’s Monk Funeral Home will be happy to hear she has a book of her writings coming out. Melda will launch her book, Life Matters, at the Bobcaygeon Library at 2 pm on Thursday, Nov. 19.
Life Matters Melda Roache Clark
She will read from it, and hang around to chat and autograph copies. Everywhere she went after retirement, people told her how much they missed her column, so Melda began writing a weekly blog she called Life Matters -“Because my writings were about everyday life.” Readers began asking for a book of her work, so eventually, she says, ”I chose twenty stories, which I edited deeply until I was pleased with the results” The first one, “A Little Piece of Paradise,” showcases eight paintings by Melda’s father of West Head, a sleepy village on a windswept spit of land on Nova Scotia’s southwest coast. If you can’t make the book launch, you can buy Life Matters directly for $25 by calling Melda at (705) 738-2559 or emailing meldaclark@hotmail. com.

City Hall Ex TL Mayor’s new group questions Boyd support By Glenna Burns
A new organization called the Buckhorn and District Ratepayers Association has formed under the leadership of former Trent Lakes mayor Janet Clarkson. The vice chair of the group, Michael Scinski, came to Trent Lakes council on Tuesday, Nov.
3, to question the council’s $75,000 pledge to support preserving Big (Boyd) Island in Pigeon Lake. Scinski was worried that council’s actions would set a precedent for other groups to come forward with similar proposals. Mayor Bev Matthews said, “when we do good things, I like to set a precedent. We want people to come forward with good ideas and as a council we are elected

to make decisions.” Scinski also pointed to the idea that there was not enough public input. Councillor Peter Raymond replied that the item was presented three times to council and is in the minutes for Sept. 1, Sept. 15 and Oct. 6. “Everyone had equal opportunity to comment. Ninetynine-point-nine percent of the people I talked to have been positive,” he said. Mayor Matthews said the “deal we have before us is fantastic. Where else could you have a park (1,200 acres) that we don’t have to manage or be liable for . . . and then can collect more taxes than before?” Councillor Dick Perssons cleared up one of Scinski’s issues when he said “the Kawartha Land Trust is a public trust, not a private company.” Councillor Terry Lambshead reported that the thermometer in front of the municipal building would soon be raised to $750,000. “I’m happy to be part of this project.”
New Buckhorn bass tourney seeks TL support By Glenna Burns
The Buckhorn District Tourist Association (BDTA) under the directorship of Bruce Averill, approached Trent Lakes council to support a proposed Fishing League Worldwide (FLW) bass tournament next June 25 and 26. The bass—from any of Buckhorn, Pigeon or Chemong lakes—will be caught and released after weighing. Averill asked council for $1,500 to support a project that will bring the area an economic shot in the arm. He pointed out that many of the fishers come for some days before the tournament to “test the waters,” and often bring their families on the holiday. He said it would be quite possible to bring $250,000 or more to the area with the demands for lodging, entertainment, food, and gas. The total financial
commitment to bring the tournament to Buckhorn is $15,000. The remaining funds would be raised through the BDTA ($5,000) and from the association membership. Councillor Windover was reluctant to support the venture without Selwyn Township on board. Mayor Bev Matthews, on the other hand was supportive of the project. “We appreciate you coming here today. We couldn’t buy this kind of advertising.” Council received the delegation’s information and will address the issue of the $1,500 funding at a future meeting.
If CKL adopted the Ottawa figure, it would only have one councillor—so clearly that is not going to happen. The issue of ward boundaries and council size has arisen at each council since amalgamation but has not garnered support so far. The in-house study will develop a terms-ofreference and the public will have opportunity for input. The motion passed 11-5 in a recorded vote, with councillors Junkin, Yeo, Jillisen, Stauble and Martin voting against (James was absent). The final report will come to council in December 2016 for ratification.
‘Stand up and be heard,’ mayor tells council rookies By Pat Warren
A year after they were elected, Mayor Andy Letham has asked rookie City of Kawartha Lakes councillors to take a more active role at council meetings and “to stand up and be heard.” Letham also noted that many councillors had not shown up for a recent budget meeting that just barely made quorum. The mayor said he respectfully understands that many new councillors are quiet and may be reluctant to speak up. But the same veteran councillors end up speaking on many issues, and this needs to change. “I know that the new councillors have many good ideas, so now’s the time to hear about some new initiatives,” he said. “It’s time to lose the new car smell.”
Have you heard BOB lately? BOB listened to you!
CKL council looks inward By Pat Warren
After a heated discussion about a ward boundary review and the future size of council, CKL councillors called for a staff study—with a report back later this month. Support for the study came from Ward 9 Councillor Isaac Breadner, who said we should look at “ourselves” first, before looking at the Core Services Review. This is an information-gathering exercise, added Ward 6 Councillor Doug Elmslie. “Why wouldn’t you want to be informed?” While Ward 2 Councillor Emmett Yeo was concerned that rural areas could see their representation diminished if a study shows the need for more urban representation, Ward 4 Councillor Andrew Veale noted that “ward boundaries may change but the study could show that the number of councillors may remain the same.” Ward 10 Councillor Pat Dunn said he represents everyone in the city so he was in favour of a review, while councillors Heather Stauble and Mary Ann Martin felt that reducing councillors would diminish representation. In Ottawa, said Ward 5 Councillor Stephen Strangway, each councillor represents 76,000 taxpayers while in Kawartha Lakes, each councillor represents about 5,000 taxpayers on average.

Beautiful Boyd Island— pristine and well-loved Guest Column By Mayor Bev Matthews, Trent Lakes
The countdown is on as we enter the final month to raise $1 million to save Boyd Island forever. Boyd Island is the “jewel” of Pigeon Lake and I am proud that it happens to be in Trent Lakes. So many people have stepped up and volunteered to have gatherings at their clubs, associations, or in private homes to promote and spread the word. I am especially proud of our council for supporting a $75,000 pledge. This is the best deal ever. For $75,000, just look at the return we are getting. We get a giant park worth over $5 million, and the Kawartha Land Trust looks after it. We have no management or liabilities and we still collect the taxes. There are many who don’t even live on Pigeon

Lake who feel the necessity to pledge for this “chance of a lifetime” project. Boyd Island contains a sampling of everything the Kawarthas are known for: wetlands, forests, wildlife, pasture land and limestone. Whether you live in this area or vacation here, Boyd Island is synonymous with Bobcaygeon—the Boyd family, Pigeon Lake, Nogies Creek, the Trent Severn Waterway, boating, fishing guides and shore lunches, water skiing on the back channel, and graduation celebrations. Mention the name Boyd Island (Big Island) and the memories just start to flow: “I remember the time….” There is something magical about this undeveloped, majestic island. When Michael Wilson, the owner of Boyd Island volunteered to donate it to the Kawartha Land Trust we were ecstatic to think that our concerns over development had come to an end. We now have a chance to preserve a jewel forever so that future generations can enjoy what we and generations before us have enjoyed. The $1 million that KLT is attempting to raise will be put into a trust fund to generate income to look after the island, pay the taxes and give it stewardship. For more information please visit kawarthalandtrust.org. Who would have thought that a million could be raised in such a short period? It’s not impossible. It can happen. IT WILL HAPPEN—because the challenge is for something so well loved.

High-quality, hometown combo for the outdoors The Fenelon Falls retail landscape just got a major facelift with the opening of LP Outfitters. Located at 41 Lindsay St., across from George Wilson Motors, LP Outfitters is a family-owned and operated business catering to outdoorsmen and women. Come on out to LP’s grand opening Nov. 28. Anyone who knows Paul Young knows he has been an avid outdoor sportsman since he was old enough to carry the gear. Now, he has turned his passion for the outdoors into an exciting business venture. The store features a unique blend of high-end appeal and hometown atmosphere. Name brands like Berkley, Fenwick, Ugli Stik, Abu Garcia and Shimano beckon to the fisherperson. The selection of rods, reels and tackle is exceptional. LP even carries live bait. There is an impressive selection of new and used firearms, with ammunition and accessories for every need, and knowledgeable staff to guide you. For archers, LP has a great line of bows, arrows, targets, and top-of-the-line tree stands by River’s Edge. Clothing and outerwear by Under Armour, as well as outerwear by Rocky, will help you look good, while staying warm and dry. LP Outfitters’ prices are competitive with—or even better than—some of the well-known big-box outdoor retailers. Admire the trophy deer heads, antlers, and caribou rack, that Paul and local hunters have contributed to the store’s ambience. A family member caught the 20lb lake trout on display two years ago. Born and raised in Fenelon Falls, Paul has carried some of the village’s history into his store: the massive timber where the tree stands are displayed is an old stoplog from the dam above Fenelon’s famous falls. The staff at LP Outfitters welcomes you to stop in and find out what all the buzz is about.

Foodstock is back, baby
Here it comes again. For the umpteenth year, Bobcaygeon’s Foodstock benefit is back. Organized by Heather Strang of Strang’s valu-mart, Foodstock will showcase local musicians at the Dunsford Community Centre on Saturday, Nov. 28. Doors open at 6:45 pm, the show starts at 7. Admission is $5 plus a nonperishable food item (or more, if you want to help the cause), and ALL proceeds will go to the Bobcaygeon Helps Food Bank.
The parade starts at the Frost Campus of Sir Sanford Fleming College, and runs north on Adelaide Street to Kent Street, then east to beside the locks east of Lindsay Street. Wally Nugent, Don Thomas, Steve Green, Jan and Peter Sanderson, and Darlene Algire are this year’s organizing team. More than two dozen businesses and community groups have contributed. Along with the expense of high quality bands, the parade commits funds to worthy
organizations such as the Lindsay Cadets, the Salvation Army and the Lindsay Stocking Fund. You can support this important community event with a financial contribution. Make your cheque payable to Lindsay Santa Claus Parade Committee and drop it off at Houghton Creek, Wally’s Haircutting For Men or Scotia Bank Lindsay. Anyone interested in volunteering a few hours of time on parade day itself, can contact info@houghtoncreek.com.
Cram and Kuddle for Christmas
Kawartha Lakes Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are partnering with Strangs valu-mart in Bobcaygeon and Lindsay Dry Cleaners to collect community donations this Saturday, Nov. 14. OPP officers and auxiliary members will be at the Caygeon valu-mart Store from 9 am to 4 pm. The aim is to “cram the cruiser”—police cruiser that is—with donations of groceries and new or gently used coats, blankets, hats and mittens. The food items will go to the local food bank. The “Kuddle Up Kawartha” clothing donations will be cleaned by Lindsay Dry Cleaners and distributed throughout the community to those in need. The OPP will be at Sobey’s grocery store in Fenelon Falls for another Cram the Cruiser and Kuddle Up Kawartha event on Saturday Dec. 12, 2015.

bobcaygeon Refugee committee is now taking donations
Things are moving well through the complicated process of bringing a refugee family or two to our area. Mieke Schipper and Carol Young, co-chairs of the Bobcaygeon and Area Refugee Committee (BARC), have been attending meetings in Peterborough and Lindsay, gathering information and learning from other groups’ experiences. The response from the initial article about BARC has been very good. Many people have expressed interest in being involved. But we still need: more trades people and professionals; and ideas for short- and long-term accommodation. We are now in a position to accept donations. Please make cheques out to Trinity United Church. In the memo section on the front of the cheque it is important to print “BARC” clearly. Cash donations should be in an envelope marked the same way. Be sure your name and address are on the cheque or envelope. You will receive a charitable income tax receipt from Trinity. We are a community organization with members from many different groups and we are very grateful to Trinity United Church for saving us the arduous and time-consuming job of applying for charitable status. Your donations can be dropped off or mailed to the church at 44 William St., Bobcaygeon, ON K0M 1A0. Church office hours are 9 am to 1 pm, Monday to Friday. Or drop it in the offering plate at a Sunday service if that’s easier. However you do it, 100 percent of your donation will go to BARC. Our group is excited about the next phase. If you can help or if you have any questions, call Carol Young at 705-738-0267 or email Sue Pepper at suejpepper@yahoo.ca.

more than gingerbread at Fenelon Santa Day
One of the many popular events for the young and the old at the Nov. 28 Santa Day in Fenelon Falls—now in its 16th year and more popular than ever—is the building of a Gingerbread House (other Gingerbread creations accepted). Of course, Fenelon Santa Day offers much more than this. You and the kids can take in: • Santa’s House, from 11 am to 4 pm with a free gift for every child and a free photo with Santa himself. • Christmas-time stories at the library. • St. Nicholas (the original for Santa Claus) at St. James Anglican Church. • “Frozen” photos from the hit movie, Frozen. • Pony rides with six ponies on a carousel for children to ride. • Wagon rides on any of five hay wagons with designated stops to help you get around. All that and more, including a hand-bell choir, an expanded petting zoo, rabbit petting, face painting, a chainsaw carver, roaming village clowns and other costumed characters, J’s magic show, and a popcorn stop. The parade starts at 5 pm at West and Lindsay Streets (by Home Hardware) and crosses over the falls, continuing up Colborne Street, and ending at the ball diamonds—that’s almost two km of sidewalk space (on either side of the street) for frontline seats.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Health concerns may take up a fair bit of your thoughts, time and energy, dear Leo. But worry will not accomplish a single thing, except to sap even more of your energy. So stay positive.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Your love life may seem far from perfect at the moment, dear Aquarius. But do not despair. A promising romance is not far away. Keep an open mind and heart when looking for that special someone, especially if they are a Libra, Gemini, Aries, Virgo, Sagittarius or another Aquarius.
Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) While it is sometimes good to let our emotions
Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Now is not the time to rush through a task, Pisces. A thorough effort will reap the rewards. Organize and give lots of thought. That is what will produce a quality job.
Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) It’s always best to give someone the benefit of
Aries (March 21 to April 20) Regret is a heavy burden to lug around all day. So, Aries, don’t waste time worrying about the past. It cannot be changed. Please focus on the present and the future, because that’s something over which you have control. Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Are you ready to make a commitment, Taurus? You may be asked to do so, and soon. Take in all the angles of the situation, including the expected outcome. Then make your move. Gemini (May 22 to June 22) “Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a
few of them are dirt”—John Muir. Dirt? Really, Mr. Muir? We take this to mean, Gemini, that we all must travel on the dusty, well-trodden roads of life so we can appreciate a soft and luxurious trail when we finally come across one.
Cancer (June 23 to July 23) A Cancer in love does not like complications.
Love and a long-lasting bond are high on the list—so you’re in luck. We predict a happy and contented relationship in the not-too-distant future.

the doubt, Libra. We really don’t know where they are coming from, or what experiences have shaped their lives. We may envy someone without knowing the struggle they have fought to be where they are.
Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) The November moon is known to the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island (Canada) as the Freezing Moon. Just as the animals prepare for the coming winter and its scarcity of food, people like you, Scorpio, are reminded to prepare a spiritual path for what could be harsh or lonely days ahead. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) We all know we live in a “consumer society,” Sag. Would you be willing to back off buying a few things, for a short time? Ask yourself: “Do I really, really NEED this?” Stop and think awhile—and save yourself some money, while you’re at it. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) As an earth sign, Capricorn, you can often be seen showing off your “earthy” demeanor—comfortable clothes, and a comewhat-may air. But never fear. When it’s time to shine, you really know how to strut with the best of them. Knowing the difference is what counts.

Rice and reconciliation
By Glenna Burns
Manomin (wild rice) is a plant that holds great significance as food and medicine in the culture of the Anishinaabe people of the Kawarthas. It flourishes in clean water, and provides economic stability and health for harvesters and users. Yet somehow this virtuous plant has become the lightning rod for bad feelings. Hundreds of people gathered Monday, Nov. 2, at Peterborough Library to hear a panel presentation on Manomin and its role in reconciling these bad feelings
and living respectfully in Treaty relationships. The panel of Williams Treaty First Nations members included Dave Mowat, Leanne Simpson, Doug Williams and James Whetung. Trent U’s Indigenous Studies department sponsored the event, moderated by Lynn Davis. The Trent Severn Waterway was invited to send a panel participant as well, but did not. Simpson provided a concise history of First Nations relations with settlers. Political systems and treaties had been established among local Indigenous groups that respected sovereignty and self-determination. Settlers were given room and rights on the land. Then came the Trent Severn Waterway, the Indian Act, forests were decimated, the salmon and eels disappeared. Land was sold for cottages until there was not even a place to launch a canoe. The results were shame and anger. “The symbol of Manomin carries a renewal of culture and spirit and pride. We can’t have reconciliation while the damaged structures are still in place,” said Simpson. James Whetung, owner of Black Duck Wild Rice, has been a harvester for 25 years. He has fond memories of harvesting with his family. Whetung is concerned about diabetes among his people at Curve Lake, since their traditional food was “legislated right out of use.” He dreams of someday seeing the rice back in Rice Lake.

Country star’s life with diabetes—and the search for a cure
By George Canyon
I have lived with type 1 diabetes (T1D) for 31 years and have to work at controlling my disease every second of every minute of every day. I can tell you there are days when I just want to take a break from the testing, the needles, the diet
Do you have any of these conditions? Occupational Stress? Unlevel Pelvis?
and everything in between—but I just can’t. Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the blessing of meeting thousands of T1D children and their families, and have helped support and encourage everyone to not let diabetes hold them back. Today, I am excited about a promising clinical trial that is utilizing a state-of-the-art encapsulation device implanted under a patient’s skin to protect stem cells from a patient’s immune system. Encapsulation, in my opinion, is the closest thing right now to curing my disease. This product has the potential to provide an alternative source of insulin, giving people like me the ability to avoid dangerous blood sugar highs and lows without monitoring their blood glucose levels or taking insulin injections. This would free Canadians from the constant burden of diabetes. We need to move projects like this forward as quickly as possible. Why do I think that Ottawa should act now? Aside from the enormous human toll, the economic burden for governments is rising. By 2020 the total personal and economic cost associated with diabetes is expected to increase to nearly $17 billion. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Canada, the country’s largest national charitable funder for T1D research, launched its Canadian Clinical Trial Network (CCTN) in 2009. This network supports leading-edge clinical trials contributing to ground-breaking efforts to accelerate made-in-Canada solutions for the management,

care and cure of T1D. It has provided nearly 1,000 Canadians access to life-changing T1D solutions. The JDRF CCTN is ready to be taken national. It can help Canadians living with T1D from coastto-coast-to-coast. Much of the funding for this initiative will come from JDRF Canada’s fundraising efforts and industry partnerships. But in order to make this national network a reality, a $25-million commitment over five years is required from the Government of Canada. Expanding the clinical trial network could mean creating up to 10 new clinical trials across Canada, accelerating our efforts towards a solution. Thousands of Canadians like me with T1D, dream of improving their quality of life. Solutions are within our grasp. George Canyon is an international-awardwinning Canadian country singer.
Get CPR training and save a life
Every 12 minutes somewhere in Canada, a person will go into cardiac arrest, according to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Their odds of surviving are quadrupled if a bystander is able to administer CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Up to 40,000 cardiac arrests occur each year in Canada, and without rapid and appropriate treatment, most of these cardiac arrests will result in death. Only 15 percent of them (600) occur where medical professionals are already present, so it can make a real difference if more of the “civilian” population—that’s you and me—has CPR training. To find a CPR/First Aid course in your area, please visit: www.heartandstroke.com.
Workers Comp messing with medical care
The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) is more interested in clearing its case load than supporting workers who have been seriously injured on the job, says a joint report from the Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) and the Ontario Network of Injured Workers’ Groups (ONIWG). The report documents interference by the WSIB
in the medical care of injured workers, something injured-worker advocates have been hearing for years, said OFL Secretary-Treasurer Nancy Hutchison. The report tells the story of doctors treating injured workers, and their patients. “Over the past 5 years, we have seen an alarming decline in WSIB services from difficult to impossible,” said Sudbury-based Rehabilitation Psychologist, Dr. Keith Klassen. “When I talk to other psychologists and health professionals they describe the same pattern. From what we see, it seems that the WSIB has become a service whose prime objective is simply not to serve.”
USE IT OR LOSE IT
Some hearing-impaired individuals choose to postpone getting hearing aids in the belief that there is little reason to do so as long as they are still able to hear some or most sound. However, postponing treatment only makes it more difficult to treat hearing loss. Research indicates that, if the brain’s auditory system is not stimulated, it will cease to recognize sound clearly. This phenomenon (known as Auditory Deprivation) helps explain why people who wait too long to get properly fitted with hearing aids do not get as much benefit as those seeking earlier treatment. Not being able to hear well isn’t just frustrating, it also can be a safety concern when it interferes with the ability to hear warning signals, such as police sirens, or smoke alarms. To schedule a complimentary hearing assessment, please call us. We invite you to take advantage of our free demonstration program which allows you to take a pair of hearing aids home to try them. P.S. Research suggests that wearing hearing aids helps those with hearing impairments increase their memory, improve their mood, and reduce the possibility of dementia.

“These doctors are blowing the whistle on the WSIB’s punitive practice of ‘deeming’ injured workers eligible to resume work when their treating physicians and medical professionals have clearly stated the opposite,” said Hutchison. She added she hopes the report will “force a formal investigation into the WSIB’s treatment of medical advice and lead to systemic change.” The report, called “Prescription Over-Ruled: Report on How Ontario’s Workplace Safety and Insurance Board systematically ignores the Advice of Medical Professionals,” was produced with the assistance of six registered psychologists who originally raised the alarm about the WSIB’s management of medical care and medical evidence as it relates to WSIB benefits recipients. Since then, many other medical professionals and injured workers have come forward to share similar stories about the WSIB: not heeding medical advice regarding readiness to return to work, offering insufficient treatment, blaming “pre-existing” conditions for ongoing illness, and using independent medical reviews that proclaim patients to be healed, despite the evidence of treating practitioners.

“The net effect is a WSIB system that revictimizes the very injured workers it is mandated to compensate and protect,” said Hutchison. Download the full report at: http://ofl.ca/wpcontent/uploads/2015.11.05-Report-WSIB.pdf
Early treatment prevents later dental problems
“Most parents feel they should have their children evaluated for orthodontic treatment due to crooked teeth around the age of 14 or after all permanent teeth are in place,” says dentist Dr. Kambiz Koosha, who has been operating KentPlace Dental Care since last April. But recent studies have shown that earlier treatment could have prevented the crooked teeth in the first place, he says. Koosha, who has been practicing general dentistry for 17 years, recommends that children should be evaluated by an orthodontist or dentist with orthodontic background as early as age five. It could “help to prevent many further complications including costly surgical and orthodontic treatment,” down the road. “Early evaluation, and if necessary, treatment, Koosha explains, “can help to control the width of the jaw, spacing for permanent teeth, correct swallowing and thumb-sucking habits and most of the time, avoid the need for extractions.” Preventive dentistry for children is a personal passion for Koosha. At Kent-Place Dental Centre, he offers a variety of dental specialties such as restorative, cosmetic, endodontics and surgical procedures including dental implants. It’s a family, general and cosmetic practice where every team member strives to offer patients the most minimally invasive dentistry possible. “Skill and compassion go hand in hand when providing exceptional patient care,” he says. “As a dentist, I stay current on the latest technologies in dentistry in order to provide the best treatment options for my patients while maintaining five-star customer care.”
