FROM MY PERCH

I never saw that one coming. A stunning Liberal majority—184 seats—150 more than they had in the last Parliament. The election of 2015 will be remembered as “the year of voting strategically.” There was a clearly “strategic” shift in the very last days of the campaign from the NDP (who had started off as the front runners) to the Liberals—which is what gave them their majority. Strategic voting was made possible by two conditions. The first was a very polarized country. On one side, voters saw the Conservative Party’s emphasis on law and order, commitment to growth The Promoter is a local, independently owned and operated news magazine. The opinions and views expressed are those in the Alberta Oil Sands, unconcern of the contributors and do not necessarily reflect those of The Promoter. Liability for incorrectly displayed or placed for climate change and Indigenous advertisements is limited to publishing corrections or providing women, and propensity to see Islamic, advertising credit to be applied on subsequent advertisements at the advertiser’s discretion. Indigenous and environmental opposition as terrorist threats. A significant number of voters liked that—32 percent of us across Canada, 45 percent in HKLB riding, and 35 percent in PeterboroughKawartha, according to the results. Liberals and NDP—and even the Green Party—on the other hand, posed

a united front in their opposition to the Conservatives, allowing traditional supporters of those parties to more easily shift their allegiances. Between the three, they accounted for 56 percent of voters—enough to defeat the Conservatives, but only if one party dominated in voting. Hence the call for strategic voting—and the second condition that helped facilitate it: social media and its use by groups like Lead Now to provide an alternative source of information, and to rally voters. So now that Canadians have discovered the power of strategic voting, will it become standard operating election procedure? Maybe, but Prime MinisterTrudeau (sounds funny to be saying that again) has promised to bring in proportional representation and Canadians may be more open to it now. Trouble is, it never benefits the party in power (the Liberals would become a minority government with about 134 seats), so winners don’t seem eager to make the change. Whether Trudeau follows through on this promise may prove to be his biggest governing challenge. editor@thepromoter.ca

These buses stop for you

I have now taken up residence in the town of Lindsay—and buses are plentiful. Sorting out the transfers from bus to bus, and arriving in the selected location is a pleasurable problem. Relocating is a nuisance, and it takes a great deal of time to become organized enough to begin your normal routine (whatever normal is). I intend to keep up my personal project of campaigning for return of the Rural Transit Bus to the good citizens of those rural regions branching out from Lindsay and circling Sturgeon Lake, serving: Cameron, Fenelon Falls, Bobcaygeon, Dunsford and stops in between. The loss of that service to all of these regions brings an added serious problem that is quietly building a head of steam in the background. In a previous rant I pointed out the problems teenagers face in the rural regions. The additional problem, which is growing rapidly, will be the already long list of stranded citizens over 80, who are having driving privileges yanked out from under them at an ever increasing rate. It comes as quite a shock when suddenly your world becomes extremely limited. A set of wheels snatched away in a heartbeat changes attitudes, travel plans, recreational activities, shopping, medical appointments, and on and on. Say goodbye to that wonderful world of independence. I have been there, but was happy to accept that inevitable event, knowing a bus would get me to the important lifestyle events that allow me to maintain some independence. Then poof. Bus service cancelled. I would encourage everyone fortunate enough to have a computer to visit www.city.kawarthalakes.on.ca and read the report: Poverty Reduction Strategy for the City of Kawartha Lakes and County of Haliburton. It highlights the important role transportation plays in the development of an all-round healthy, profitable rural neighbourhood. Wonderful stuff. Ted Howes Lindsay (now)

And you need to stop for this bus

This is a letter to that careless and disrespectful driver along Kawartha Lakes Road 8 who insists on passing the school bus at 7 am with its flashing lights on while my daughter is trying to cross the road to board the bus. Enough is enough. You have now passed the bus three times in two weeks (including this morning) that I have counted, heading west from Bobcaygeon towards Fenelon Falls. Do you know that if caught your first offence would range from a ticket for $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points. And then, each of those other two times you committed the same act of passing the flashing lights would garner you an additional fine of $1,000 to $4,000 and another six demerit points—plus possible jail time. School buses and flashing lights are not something new to the scene of highway driving. The school bus driver is cursing you, according to my daughter when she boards the bus. But rest assured I am doing more than that. My last word to you: Slow down and stop for those flashing lights. My daughter’s life is precious. Steve Winter Bobcaygeon

Congrats Cindy

Congratulations Cindy Snider. I know that you have been working very hard to attract more doctors to CoKL and it is much appreciated by all who are involved with you. You deserve the honour (See Cindy wins provincial award, Oct. 16, page 30). Barry Marr Bobcaygeon

Reflections on the fair, refugees, and butts

They got the name right this year: “Fair.” Not great, not even good, but FAIR. Too many corners cut, and changes to spend less. Most folks said the Bobcaygeon Fall Fair was just fair. Sure lots of volunteers worked hard but it was different. I do not think anyone that does NOT want to work Sunday should have to. What they need is clones (not clowns). Some can set up, open and run the first two days. Someone else can run the last two days, and close it up. Opening Thursday rather than Sunday can’t

pay. The people in the cities earning the bucks to spend at the fair are working Thursday. Folks still arrive Sunday to spend money—but can’t. Item 2: Did you ever go into Illini’s Gallery on William Street? Amazing work. He and his family were “boat people,” the community sponsored to come to Canada—a house, clothing, food, etc.—in the 1970s, who became a real asset to Bobcaygeon Item 3: The column about the duckling eating the cigarette butt that Julia Taylor and so many other smokers drop, shows ignorance (maybe only in Ontario). I know that in many parts of the United States, you can face a hefty fine for littering. Smokey the Bear says they start forest fires. They are GARBAGE. Have an ashtray and take it home with you. Just some thoughts. Donna Watson Bobcaygeon

Respect for Perry

I am writing as a volunteer in the recent NDP campaign to elect Mike Perry. To the campaign team—congratulations on your achievement. It was an energetic 78-day campaign built on commitment, enthusiasm, and respect. To Mike—thank you for accomplishing what you said you would do: make politics about people. To the thousands of you who met us at your doorsteps—thank you for the respectful reception to our ideas for change. To all of you—my strongest encouragement, in a future election, to take the step beyond voting and participate on the ground in a campaign to elect the candidate of your choice. This opportunity, available to us all, does involve a serious decision about whom you will support, and then a commitment to the work itself. But what you will learn about campaigning and about the community where you live, will be your very valuable reward. Glenda Morris Lindsay

City Hall Now or never to bring CKL taxes back in line

It could be a tough year for property-tax payers in the City of Kawartha Lakes. With the city facing more than $10 million in budget pressures, Kawartha Lakes staff recommended an alarming 12.33 percent tax increase for 2016 at a special Oct. 22 budget meeting, in order to significantly close the gap in capital needs and operations. It’s a now-or-never situation to bring taxes back into line with needs, said a CKL media release. Cuts to capital spending and reliance on reserves and debt have allowed artificially low tax increases over several years. Council will continue to deliberate the proposed 2016 capital and operating budgets in November and December before finalizing them later this year. If it approves the recommended 12.33 percent jump, citizens will see an increase in property taxes next year ranging from $150 to $239 (based on 2015 assessments and using the average residential home value of $249,000). “We know we have been underfunding our capital program, using reserves and adding debt to bring about low tax increases for years,” said Kawartha Lakes Mayor Andy Letham. “I have said repeatedly that we could not continue to support all of the assets we have, and the budget before us clearly demonstrates that.” He noted that CKL’s reserves have decreased from $45 million in 2008 to a projected $15.9 million by the end of 2016, a drop of nearly $30 million that makes stopping the downward trend urgent indeed. The city has already reduced wage-andbenefit costs by $2 million for the 2016 budget, and is holding to 2015 spending levels for operations. This year’s Core Service Review “was really the first steps in right-sizing our organization, our assets and our tax support,” said Kawartha Lakes Chief Administrative Officer Ron Taylor. “Now we need to set an aggressive course on looking at those assets, services and programs and bringing forward information so council can make informed decisions to help the city become financially sustainable and budget longer term.” “There is no question these are difficult decisions,” said Taylor, “but they are necessary to get the city to where we need to be in 2016 and beyond while maintaining service levels.” “We need to properly fund and invest in our capital programs,” said Mayor Letham. “We need to properly fund our roads, sidewalks, snow clearing; we need to properly fund the programs and services that our residents have told us they want us to do a better job at. This puts us on a path to do that.”

CKL Roundup

BEES AND BUTTERFLIES WILL BUZZ AT LANDFILL: The usual process for full landfill sections is to cover them with grasses to prevent erosion. But Kawartha Lakes Environmental Advisory Committee member Susan Blaney brought a great idea forward this year to make 15 completed acres of the Fenelon landfill site more environmentally sustainable by covering it with pollinator plants. The committee and the city got behind her and the landfill site is

being transformed into a useful habitat for bees and butterflies. The seed mix was approved by pollinator expert Susan Chan, a faculty member at Fleming College, and will be planted this fall. Students from Fleming’s Ecosystem Management program plan to study its effectiveness in 2016. A pollinator habitat at the Lindsay landfill may well be next. (Pat Warren) THESE CHIPS KEEP MOVING: Chip truck owner Allan Latto was back at council Oct. 22

G i f t Ce r t i fi c ate s Ava i l a b l e 8

October 30, 2015 - The Kawartha Promoter

with another request, this time to move his Bobcaygeon chip truck to the gas station at Highway 36 and Mill St. He said the present location in north Bobcaygeon is too far off the road to attract customers. He also asked council whether he could just go through staff if he wants to move the truck again. This prompted a quick response from Mayor Andy Letham that “any further requests have to be brought to council for approval—but you aren’t going to do that Mr. Latto, are you?” The other chip truck owner Francis Ferguson wrote a letter to Council stating her concerns about the location at the gas station. She noted that a chip truck needs to be more than 300 metres from a park, but Ted Shea Park is just across the road. Also, propane use at a gas station has to be properly sited for safety concerns Council approved the request to re-site the chip truck, but the address on the memo to council was incorrect. This oversight will have to be amended at the next council meeting. (PW) NO FLYING LANTERNS: Council voted Oct. 13 to prohibit the use and sale of Flying Lanterns across the municipality. They may look pretty, but there is an extreme fire risk associated with flying lanterns, Kawartha Lakes Fire Chief Mark Pankhurst told council. “Kawartha Lakes covers more than 3,000 square kms and we have a lot of wooded and rural areas that could be adversely impacted if one of these Flying Lanterns landed in a hard-toreach area,” said Pankhurst. NEW PONTYPOOL FIRE STATION OPENS: Nearly two years to the day after Council awarded the $1.1 million contract for a new fire station in Pontypool, firefighters, officials and the public celebrated its official grand opening on Sunday, Oct. 25. The new 6,000-squarefoot facility features three firetruck bays, including two drivethrough bays, ambulance bay, kitchen, and training facility.

Trent Lakes Roundup By Glenna Burns

OPP COSTS UP HERE TOO: Trent Lakes municipality received an unpleasant surprise with increased policing costs from the Ontario Provincial Police. Over the next three years (2016-19), the price per property for OPP policing was supposed to increase by $40 a year. But now the OPP have increased that to $48.50 a year. The mayor, Bev Matthews expressed her concern and frustration over the new increase in billing. Trent Lakes Chief Administrative Officer Lois O’Neill-Jackson has requested a joint Special Council Meeting with the OPP and the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) to discuss household count and OPP billing. The original estimated 2019 OPP cost—under a new provincial billing model—was to be $1,714,969. But the new estimate from the OPP is now $1,746,268. That means total costs per property for policing are expected to be $251 by 2019. One factor affecting the total is that OPP billing uses an MPAC property count for the municipality that increased from 6,650 properties in its 2015 bill (based on 2012 stats) to 6,956 in 2016 (2014 stats). That increases the base service component of the contract—and it seems reasonable to guess this property count will continue to grow. A staff report noted the only major cost in the contract that could possibly be reduced is the calls-for-service component. It suggested the Police Service Board review the kinds of offences that are driving up calls for service and consider whether anything can be done to reduce these calls. Another area of concern is an increase in OPP overtime expenses relating to occurrences that require specialists. Fire Chief Don Mitchell explained that if someone gets lost in the woods, the OPP seldom call in the specially trained county Search-and-Rescue team. Instead OPP people will be brought into the area from great distances and at an increased cost to the municipality.

SIGNING OFF: Runaway signage in Trent Lakes may soon come to an end with a new sign bylaw. TL council received a new bylaw to help regulate and reduce signs from Michael Godin, Manager of Building and Planning—and will review it with Trent Lakes citizens at an evening Public Meeting Nov. 24. For many years people have complained of “sign pollution” in the municipality marring the natural beauty of the tourist region. The county of Peterborough is working on a similar bylaw but the time line for that is at least one year away.

Schmale Bucks the trend

You could say that Jamie Schmale bucked the national trend on Oct. 19 when he won election as a Conservative Member of Parliament for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock. The election saw the Liberal party under Justin Trudeau’s leadership sweep to a majority government with 184 seats. “The values of the Conservative Party (like low taxes, and law and order) clearly resonate with the people in this riding,” Schmale told The Kawartha Promoter after his victory. He also attributed his win to the foundation laid by the outgoing Conservative MP (and Schmale’s former boss) Barry Devolin, known for his customer service, personality, and listening style. CKL Mayor Andy Letham said Jamie is committed to our riding and is passionate about Kawartha Lakes, our future, our residents and businesses. “I have made it clear that Kawartha Lakes has serious challenges with our infrastructure. There is too much at stake to focus on our differences.” Voting breakdown for the riding saw Schmale win with 27,760 votes, 45 percent of the ballots cast. Liberal David Marquis came second with 19,600 votes (32 percent); the NDP’s Mike Perry was third with 12,032 votes (19 percent), and the Green’s Bill MacCallum fourth with 2,465 votes (four percent). Schmale’s Conservative Party was removed from government of course, which means he will have to adjust his goals. “I want to make sure we get our fair share of infrastructure spending in the riding,” he said, and “I want to help the Trent Severn Waterway think about economic development.” He also said he would like to bring a full marathon running race to CKL, . He noted that the Ottawa marathon attracted 48,000 people. Runners, he said, “will travel and have money.” More immediately, Schmale will get his office set up within a couple of weeks so he can get back to helping constituents—and meet with every municipal council in the riding.

Monsef makes history

Trent Lakes, Curve Lake, and the rest of the Peterborough-Kawartha riding, now have something this country has never seen before—a Member of Parliament who was born in Afghanistan. They also have something the riding itself has never seen before: a female MP of colour. Maryam Monsef, the young, articulate Liberal candidate, rode Justin Trudeau’s Liberal tide—and her own passionate campaign—to victory in the Peterborough-Kawartha riding. Monsef assured The Promoter she will open a satellite office in the northern part of the riding.

Recognizing the contentious quarry issue in Trent Lakes—a provincial issue—Monsef said her role may be to facilitate open discussion through her quarterly town-hall meetings. She emphasized the Liberal Party’s commitment to balance both economic and the environmental values. Monsef acknowledged that the manomin (wild rice) issue in Pigeon and other Kawartha Lakes, which has pitted lakeshore-owning settlers against First Nations harvesters, is “a complex issue, environmentally, culturally and politically.” “But we are fortunate to be living in a time when there is interest in developing a progressive, nation-to-nation relationship with the First Peoples of the land,” she added. The First Nations “have a tremendous resiliency and knowledge we can all benefit from” as we work to overcome historic inequalities. Peterborough-Kawartha riding is considered a “bellwether” constituency as it often elects an MP from the party that wins the election. Monsef took 29,091 votes (43 percent) in the riding to capture the seat. Conservative Michael Skinner, whose Conservative predecessor Dean del Mastro had resigned in disgrace after being convicted of electoral fraud, took a surprising 23,747 votes (35 percent). NDPer Dave Nickle won 12,713 (19 percent); Green candidate Doug Mason, 1,847 (three percent) and Toban Leckie of Strength in Democracy got 134 votes.

The Council of the Municipality of Trent Lakes will hold a Public Meeting on Tuesday, November 24, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. to consider a new Sign By-law. Members of the public are encouraged to attend. Questions from the gallery will be received. Copies of the proposed Sign By-law are available on the municipal website www.trentlakes.ca and at the municipal office. The meeting will be held in the Council Chamber at 760 County Road 36. Dated this 29th day of October 2015. Robert V. Angione, MPA, B.Admin.

Remembrance Day We will not forget. Devils Brigade descendant speaks at Poppy Tea

Keith MacKay, the great nephew of an original Devil’s Brigade member, will be the guest speaker at the Bobcaygeon Legion branch Ladies Auxiliary Poppy Tea—a free event scheduled for 2 pm on Monday, Nov. 2, at the legion hall. MacKay has done extensive research on the joint Canada-U.S. Devil’s Brigade, and has spoken with several surviving members of the group—also known by what we now recognize as a racist moniker, the Black Devils. Most of them are in their early to late nineties, he says. MacKay was moved to begin his research after discovering his great uncle had served in the brigade. Officially designated the First Special Service Force, the Devil’s Brigade was an elite AmericanCanadian commando unit in World War II. It was organized in 1942, and fought in Alaska, Italy and southern France before being disbanded in December 1944.

Last Feb. 3 in Washington, U.S. President Barak Obama bestowed the US Congressional Gold Medal of Honour on the members of the Devil’s Brigade. The brigade was the original model for the U.S. army’s elite special forces unit, the Green Berets, and the Canadian Airborne Regiment (1968– 95) and today’s Canadian Special Operations Regiment. Its exploits were celebrated in the 1968 film, The Devil’s Brigade, starring William Holden and Cliff Robertson. Bobcaygeon has two known connections to the Devil’s Brigade. One was Sergeant-Major Glen Crowe, the father of Promoter reporter, Glenna Crowe. He died in 1966, and Glenna will also be bringing in some artifacts to share at the tea, and to talk about memories of her father’s experiences in the brigade. The other was the brother-in-law of Evelyn Tulluck, of the Just For The Halibut family. This is the 27th year for the Ladies Auxiliary to hold its Poppy Tea, which kicks off the annual Poppy Campaign. “Everyone is welcome and there is no charge,” says President Marg McLean. “We always hold it on Nov. 1, but because that’s a Sunday this year, we decided to switch to Monday, Nov. 2.

CKL gets two Dutch-Canadian Friendship Gardens

Two Kawartha Lakes communities—Norland and Lindsay—have been awarded 70th anniversary Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Gardens to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. The tulip-gift tradition goes back to 1945, when the Netherlands sent Canada a gift of 100,000 Dutch tulip bulbs as a symbol of appreciation for the role Canadian soldiers played in the liberation of the Netherlands—and for the hospitality Canada provided to the Dutch Royal Family in Ottawa during the war. Only 140 communities across Canada have been recognized with one of the 70th anniversary gifts. The Canadian Garden Council, the organization behind the Friendship Tulip Garden program, received more than 400 applications. Both gardens were planted on Wednesday, Oct. 28, with veterans, school children and the public in attendance. The Lindsay garden is in the McDonnell Park parkette at the top of the stairs on York Street, beside the Royal Canadian Legion. The Norland garden is at the Old School in the village. The 700 red and white tulip bulbs for both the Lindsay and Norland gardens were generously donated by Vesey’s Bulbs of Prince Edward Island. The 140 gardens planted across the country— including Lindsay’s and Norland’s—will be

symbolically linked to a 70th Anniversary DutchCanadian Friendship Tulip Garden to be planted this fall in Ottawa by the National Capital Commission and showcased during the 2016 Canadian Tulip Festival. “We feel very fortunate to have been selected as one of the garden recipients,” said Megan Phillips, Horticulturist for the City of Kawartha Lakes Parks, Recreation and Culture division. The Norland Horticultural Society thanks Judy Seymour, who originally brought the Friendship Garden opportunity to the attention of the Society, and Louise Loree, for help with the application.

In Flanders Fields

By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, (1872-1918) In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are The Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Horoscopes Oct. 30-Nov. 12, 2015 Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) You say you can’t “get over it?” Then you will have to go around, through or under it, dear Aquarius. There is always a way to move on and succeed. Never give up. Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) We suggest you start planning now for the holiday season, Pisces. Too early, you say? Well, take your time and spread out the stress. That’s how we see it. Aries (March 21 to April 20) Ask for help. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable, Aries. The love and support of others on whom we depend is an integral part of being human. So go ahead and make use of it. Taurus (April 21 to May 21) “Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet”—Bob Marley. We hope you are one of the ones who “feels the rain,” Taurus. Don’t take anything for granted. Enjoy each and every moment as the gift it is.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) The best way to find the true feelings of a Gemini in love is to sit down and have a long conversation. Listen carefully to your Gemini lover. And Gemini— make sure you speak the truth when you are asked.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) We feel the need to warn you of a potential physical injury. Slow down, take your time. Don’t rush. That is when most accidents happen. If something does happen, tend to it right away. Don’t let it fester.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) As your sign dictates, Cancer, you can be moody at times, especially if you feel criticized or hurt. Recognize this trait and deal with it as best you can. Try not to take things too personally.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Good times are coming with family and friends, Scorpio—a family reunion, of sorts. Hold them near, hug them tight, and show your gratitude for the wonderful people in your life.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) According to the stars, Leo, your future is bright. This doesn’t mean you don’t have to work at it. But, knowing you as we do, you will no doubt succeed in a variety of undertakings.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) We sense a shift to a more laid-back you, Sag. This is good. Try not to obsess over the little things—they don’t matter on the Big Ship.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) The colour red may have a meaningful impact on you during this phase. Also, don’t be alarmed by changes at work. They may be taxing at first, but you will definitely come to appreciate them, as the workplace becomes more and more efficient.

Minaajim: Good Stories from Curve Lake First Nation Shoes, Snakes, and Snow

As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka

When our people were completely living off the land, they had to travel far and wide—by canoe in summer and then through deep snow in winter, sometimes without snowshoes. They would often stay on the land overnight when travelling long distances. In the winter in particular, they would take with them some bannock (a native flour bread), some dried meat, dried berries, and black tea. These were favourite travelling provisions in the winter. Mkoons was one of those travellers. He had unbelievably strong stamina, that guy. He would go as far as Lake Simcoe to the west from here, to Kaladar in the east, to Paudash Lake in the north, and to Lake Ontario to the south. And he walked these distances, especially during the winter. One day a group of hunters went to hunt in the wetland, a huge area now known as Moore Lake, located near Young’s Point – an unusual spruce bog that contains a lot of natural medicines.

It was wintertime and the hunters came across human tracks. Oddly though, they were a woman’s tracks as they determined it was a woman’s shoe imprinted in the snow. What was this? So far and deep in the swamp and wetland? In the middle of winter? So they decided to follow those tracks. They finally caught up to the one who was making those tracks. It was Mkoons. And he was wearing a woman’s shoes. They asked him: “Why are you wearing women’s shoes?” Mkoons answered matter-of-factly: “Well mine got wet, so I borrowed my wife’s.” Mkoons was about 10 miles from his home. Everyone laughed about it at the time. But this shows the absolute resilience of this man. Imagine walking through all that snow in women’s shoes for 10 miles and then to still have to come home. He had so many mouths to feed. You have to wonder how he was able to keep his family fed. In providing for his family Mkoons saw many things in his travels that took him far and wide. He was also a man who saw the last of the Woodland Rattlers. They would concentrate on the Oak Ridges Moraine and the Niagara escarpment and could grow to seven feet long. It was a beautiful but deadly snake and it met its demise by the domestic pig which was brought into the area. Settlement of this land altered the habitat of many living beings that once thrived here. The Woodland Rattler, which was also known as the Massassauga Rattler, is no longer around. Mkoons would tell about a guy who climbed the escarpment and came face to face with a sevenfoot rattler … but that is another story.

KLT confident it can make Boyd Island goal

A $10,000 donation by British Empire Fuels to Kawartha Land Trust’s Save Boyd Island campaign is “the largest gift we’ve had from a local business to date,” says KLT’s executive director Mike Hendren. It also pushes KLT’s $1-million fundraising campaign to “well over $600,000 now,” he says, with about one month remaining to deadline. “We’re thrilled that British Empire Fuels (BEF) showed real leadership in stepping up,” says Chris Appleton, volunteer chair of the Boyd Island Project Committee. He’s hoping, of course, that other businesses will come forward as well. BEF feels this is an amazing opportunity for their community and an opportunity to give back to the community of clients they have served for half a century, Hendren adds. They feel this scenario is the best possible outcome for the island in the long term. The “scenario,” as anyone in the area who hasn’t been living under a rock must know by now,

is current owner Mike Wilson’s proposed donation of Pigeon Lake’s more than 1,100-acre Boyd Island to the Kawartha Land Trust, to keep it open to the public as a natural area in perpetuity. In order to take on stewardship of the island responsibly, KLT has determined it needs to raise a $1-million trust fund, the interest from which will pay for minimal ongoing island management. Wilson, who has also pledged $100,000 to the campaign, wants to complete the transfer by year end—hence the blitz campaign to raise the money—in actual donations or in pledges. “I’m confident we can make the goal,” says Hendren, adding that KLT has received 250 pledges so far, ranging from $100 to $100,000, and averaging between $2,000 and $3,000. He says one woman from Balsam Lake, pledged $2,500, based on her childhood memories of Boyd Island, even though she has not been on Pigeon Lake in 50 years, and doesn’t expect to see the island again in her lifetime. In addition to Wilson’s $100,000 donation, KLT has also been pledged $100,000 from the Barron Cowan Foundation, and the same from another donor who wishes to remain anonymous. Trent Lakes municipality has pledged $75,000, and the Norma Orgill (nee Boyd) family has pledged $65,000. Community groups, too, have been coming forward with pledges, including Pigeon Lake Yacht Club ($5,000), the Bobcaygeon Fair Board ($2,000), Bobcaygeon Horticultural Society, the North Pigeon Lake Ratepayers Association and the Big Bald Lake Cottagers Association ($1,000 each). Besides Trent Lakes, though, government support at all levels has been conspicuous by its absence. Despite approaches, there has been no response from the City of Kawartha Lakes, Selwyn Township, and various provincial and federal government offices. “We can say without a doubt that it is up to the community to complete this campaign,” says Hendren. KLT is planning a fundraising reception and auction at Bobcaygeon’s Donatella Bar and Grill for Sunday, Nov. 22, “to celebrate our success so far, and to make a final push to reach our goal,” says Appleton.

These Buddy Benchers brought their project to BPS last week and introduced it to their fellow students. Standing from left: Carson Cameron, Richard Liversage, Tyler Picken; seated: Chloe Cameron, Matthew Liversage, Andrew Stephan, Reese Cameron.

Buddy Bench comes to BPS

“An act of kindness, no matter how small, is never wasted,” says the hand-painted lettering on the bright yellow bench that was making the rounds from class to class at Bobcaygeon Public School last week prior to taking its place out in a quiet corner of the schoolyard. The BPS Buddy Bench is a community project undertaken by three families and their friends. It’s a simple idea to help eliminate loneliness and foster friendship on the playground, with a message about inclusion and kindness.

The Buddy Bench is for children on the playground who “aren’t sure who to play with or who to talk to, or who just want to check out a situation before joining a group,” explained Tyler Picken, one of the students involved in the project. Fellow student Carson Cameron, described it in the presentation to BPS classes as “a very special place that reminds you to be your kindest selves, a place to include people in your play and make new friends, and a place to say YES to friends who ask you to play.” Added Tyler, it’s not where you go to hang out with friends you already have, or where you say no to someone who invites you to play. And the Buddy Bench reminds you it’s not okay to be mean or hurtful, or to exclude others. The BPS project was initiated by mother Theresa Tamburro, who saw the original Pennsylvania project on the internet (where else) and suggested it for her children’s school. BPS Principal Jane Austen jumped on the idea. “We loved it,” she said.—“we’re all about encouraging leadership, among students, parents and staff.”

Health & Wellness A fun Halloween is a safe Halloween

The Kawartha Lakes Ontario Provincial Police detachment is offering some tips for a safe and fun Halloween—for parents and motorists. Tips for Parents: • Provide children with flashlights, glow sticks, or reflective tape for their costumes. • Avoid costumes with extra material, oversized shoes or high heels to trip on, or with masks, which restrict visibility (face paint is better). • Review safety rules relating to traffic and strangers—i.e., stay in known neighbourhoods and well-lit areas, don’t enter homes if invited, be cautious of strangers and traffic. • Supervise small children while trick or treating. • Older children should advise you of their planned route and the time they will be home. • Provide good lighting to greet trick or treaters at your door. • Keep pumpkins with candles in a safe location. • Inspect treats before the kids eat them. Check for loose or torn wrappers, or pin holes in packaging. If you’re suspicious throw the item out.

Tips for Motorists: • If you see any suspicious behaviour, call police. • Drive slowly and be alert, especially in built up areas where children may be. • Watch for children walking on roadways, medians and curbs. • Enter and exit driveways and alleyways slowly and carefully.

Suicide Alertness program improves skills

Most people with thoughts of suicide actually seek help, but unfortunately, their reaching out can be missed, dismissed or avoided—leaving them feeling even more alone and at greater risk. That’s why the local branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association is offering a safeTALK (Suicide Alertness For Everyone) course in Lindsay, to help people be suicide alert and learn to engage with suicidal people and connect them with help and care. The program is aimed at family members, friends, caregivers and community support people, including front-line workers, clergy, teachers and law enforcement. The course, which is one in a series on mental health, will be held at Lindsay’s Boys and Girls Club on Nov. 13, from 9 am to noon. Costs to participants,

Doctors coming thick and fast to CKL

Dr. Hor Ven Zung will begin practicing with the Kawartha North Family Health Team (KNFHT) in Fenelon Falls this Dec. 7—another successful recruitment by Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative (KLHCI). “I am looking forward to this next phase of my life and hope to contribute to serving the medical needs of the community,” says Dr. Zung. Dr. Zung completed medical school at the

University of Alberta (Edmonton), and served her Family Medicine Residency at the University of Saskatchewan (Regina) in June 1991. She practiced in various parts of Alberta, including a solo practice in Calgary. Dr. Zung is moving to Ontario to be closer to family and has chosen to live and practice in the City of Kawartha Lakes. The Kawartha North Family Health Team’s service area includes Fenelon Falls, Argyle, Bobcaygeon, Burnt River, Coboconk, Glenarm, Rosedale, Kirkfield, Norland, Uphill and surrounding areas.

TWICE AS NICE

If An Audiologist recommends wearing hearing aids in both ears, it is generally better to do so, even if the hearing loss in both ears is not equal. Why? Just as it is better to view the world through both eyes, the brain processes sound from both ears when providing an enhanced hearing experience. When the brain receives information predominantly from one ear, hearing ability is compromised. However, those wearing bilateral hearing instruments benefit from better sound localization (the ability to tell where sounds are coming from), better sound quality (mono versus stereo), better listening balance (precluding the need to turn to the “good” ear to hear), and improved ability to hear soft sounds (children and nature sounds). By wearing hearing aids in both ears, sound is able to reach and stimulate each ear’s auditory nerve, keeping the nerve actively engaged. Studies have shown that if auditory nerves aren’t stimulated by sound, they can slow down and make hearing impairment worse. At our clinics we offer a range of hearing aid packages and the most advanced hearing testing to best serve you.. P.S. Research shows that those who wear hearing aids in both ears report more satisfaction with their experience.

October 30, 2015 - The Kawartha Promoter 25

“It is very rewarding to have such continued success in KLHCI’s recruitment efforts,” says Cindy Snider, Recruitment and Retention Coordinator for KLHCI. Anyone wishing to register as a patient with Dr. Zung should contact the KNFHT at 705- 8873531, registration@knfht.ca, or visit the office at 50 Colborne St., Fenelon Falls.

Sex Ed update not just about sex

By Shawn Woods

Schools are supposed to provide students with the knowledge they need to succeed in life. So the ongoing backlash against Ontario’s new Health and Physical Education Curriculum (HPEC)— which includes the sex-ed curriculum—seems very puzzling. As adults, we want our children to have the best information to face difficult situations and make good decisions. Helping young people grow up to be healthy, resilient and well-adjusted is in everyone’s best interest. Opponents—who are often parents who feel they (not teachers) should discuss sex-ed topics with their children—take issue with specific parts of the curriculum, such as: Grade 1 students being taught body parts by their proper names, including genitalia; Grade 3 children studying same-sex relationships and gender identity; Grade 4 students

learning about the physical changes of puberty; and Grade 6s studying consent and masturbation. The previous, 1998, sex-ed curriculum was very outdated regarding technology and social media. While young people now have access to helpful online resources, there is also lots of harmful and incorrect information on the web. Research shows that children enter puberty earlier, so teaching them at a younger age to understand the changes taking place in their bodies makes perfect sense. And the more we have these meaningful conversations—both at home and in school—the better off we are. With the new curriculum, educators and parents can provide accurate and up-to-date information to help young people be digitally safe, understand consent, and address current issues like sexting, unwanted pregnancies and sexually-transmitted infections. The new HPEC was developed over several years, with input from many experts and extensive consultation with educators, religious organizations and parents. It’s much broader than people may think, and covers many aspects of health and well-being. It’s an excellent tool to help parents and students make safe, informed choices about their sexual health and overall well-being. Shawn Woods is the Communicable Disease Control Manager for the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit.

It takes a village

By Sue Pepper

We have all seen the pictures of the horror and misery that refugees are facing as they flee Syria. For the last few weeks a group of people from our community, representing area churches, the Masonic Lodge and community members at large, have been meeting to see how we could help. We are trying to work together to help each other through the process of bringing a few refugee families to our communities. We have learned it will take a village of people joining together with skills, housing, professional services, and of course, funds. We have had meetings with as many as 35 people and meetings with as few as 12. We have had meetings with Lindsay area and North Brock. We are now formally called the “Bobcaygeon and Area Refugee Committee” or BARC, for short. Soon we will begin a fundraising campaign. We will need to raise at least $15,000 for a couple; $31,500 for a family of six. Under a federal funding program, the government will cover six months of the one-year sponsorship agreement. So far we have raised over $5,000. Our focus now is to raise awareness. We are already in the process of applying to sponsor a family. We really do not know how long it will take. So we’re trying to build a data base of individuals, and their skill sets and accommodation ideas. For example: We might need a plumber, electrician, carpenter, a dentist, optometrist, doctor

or nurse, people to transport the refugees to ESL classes or help them with English on a daily basis. We will need donations of clothing and furniture (NOT NOW PLEASE). The list is endless and that is why “it takes a village.” Please consider how you could help. Contact Carol Young at (705-738-0267) or windsweptfarm@izoom.net, or Sue Pepper at suejpepper@yahoo.ca. At this time it is not a commitment. We just want to put together a list of people we can call if and when we need them. If you are interested in joining our group, please join us at our next meeting on Nov. 11 at 7 pm at the Bobcaygeon Library.

Trinity Eat and learn

Better get your tickets early for the Nov. 6 Trinity United Church dinner if you want a chance to try local delicacies—and to do some learning about wild rice at the same time. “I’m excited about the wild rice talk,” says Minister Rev. Rodney Smith-Merkley. Curve Lake rice harvester James Whetung, and Paula Anderson, an organic farmer and Trent University professor will share educational presentations about rice. There will be two seating’s, at 4:30 and 6:30 pm, each preceded by an educational presentation, at 4 and 6. Tickets are $15, ($7.50 for under 12s) from Trinity between 9 am and 1 pm, at Bobcaygeon Electronics during business hours, or by calling Kim at 738-2365.
