PAPER CUTS

Funny How That Works Everyone’s a critic.

You can’t please everybody.

My favourite is one my friend always used to explain people’s behaviours and choices: That’s why there’s chocolate and vanilla.

Clichés. They help us justify things we can’t quite wrap our heads around.

Writers are advised to avoid them— unless it’s to illustrate a point, of course.

When I was a child, I was the one who ordered vanilla ice cream while everybody else chose chocolate. (Don’t quote me on this but I think that was a time when the Dairy Bar in Dundas served cones for ten and twenty-five cents. But I digress…)

We can’t all agree. It’s impossible.

And we certainly can’t all be alike, even if we wanted to. We can, however, use our ability to empathize, show respect, meet in the middle, as it were. Or better still, extend a little beyond.

That means you still get to enjoy your chocolate, I enjoy my vanilla and our words and deeds go out to demonstrate the goodness within.

Last week, I was privileged to meet the women who lead the Bobcaygeon Helps Food Bank. One of the things we discussed can be summarized as helping others to maintain dignity during difficult times that, quite frankly, could hit any one of us at any time.

Some people give of their time, some their emotional support or their money, whatever they can to--pardon the cliché-make the world better for the people with whom they cross paths. Others help in different ways. Sometimes it is as simple as eye contact and a smile.

This summer, The Kawartha Dairy Company celebrates its 75th Anniversary.

Good for them. I’m sure they had their challenges along the way and didn’t always see eye-to-eye with everyone.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be the success they are today.

I do admit, I wonder how many cones they’ve scooped. Either way, it amounts to a lot of chocolate and vanilla.

Plus, if anyone could please everybody, they probably would.

Sweet.

Who knew?

Share the Enthusiasm

Bella Prichard walked in to The Promoter office to file a report. She had something positive to say, and she wanted us to help her share it.

“I want to tell everyone that from the time Canada Day started, it was one of the best, wellorganized days ever.”

People are so negative, she said, and we should talk about the good things.

“The parade, the people…Ninety percent of the crowd wore red and white or waved flags.

It was a sea of red and white! I had tears in my eyes.”

She added, “We’ve been in this area for eighteen years and this Canada Day in Bobcaygeon was the best ever. The kids, the bikes, the golf carts from Beach Park…and the fireworks were spectacular!”

Bella said she enjoyed the celebrations with her daughter, niece, son and grandchildren.

And she had one more thing to say.

“We are so blessed. We are blessed to live in such a beautiful town and a beautiful country!”

TRINITY UNITED WELCOME Reverend Rodney Smith- Merkley

If you have driven on William Street (Bobcaygeon) recently, you may have noticed a new name on the Trinity U.C. signboard.

This month, we welcome Rev. Rodney SmithMerkley and family to our church and community.

Rodney obtained his B.S. at Guelph University and Master of Divinity at Queen’s University in 2002. On graduation, he spent 3 years with his

Following that posting, they returned to Ontario to the ELGIN /PORTLAND charge where he has served until presently.

They have 3 children, Anderson 7, Jacob 5 and Petra 2 years.

Rodney has been involved with United Church Conference activities, and is interested in canoeing and many sports. They purchased a home in Bobcaygeon and are becoming familiar with the local landscape.

His first Sunday is July 29th at 10:30 a.m. when the congregation welcomes him, followed by a barbeque on the church lawn (weather permitting), so please come bring your lawn chair and enjoy!

Come and welcome the Smith-Merkleys as we look forward to his enthusiastic leadership!

GOOD INDEED

This good deed did not go unnoticed!

A few weeks ago I found myself stranded out on the highway as my motorcycle had stopped running. As this has never happened to me before, and I am fairly new to the area (one year), I did not know who to call to come and pick up my bike. I had recently met Cheryl and Danni from pawz’N’clawz, and knew that they also had a motorcycle so I called them for a number. Cheryl said, “Hang on, I will call Danni for you!”

Within minutes I had a truck and a bike trailer out to pick up my bike. Danni had borrowed the trailer from a friend.

Danni drove the trailer out to Dunsford and delivered my bike to Krazzy’s repair shop, and then drove me home.

This good deed took about two hours of a busy man’s evening…and left me feeling that this small town of Bobcaygeon is full of people with many good deeds “stored and ready to go!”

Fireworks

Although I am not a member of the Canada Day Committee, I did volunteer to collect money for the fireworks on July 1st.

Thanks to everyone at the Beach Park who donated money in my pail for the fireworks.

Those who contributed allowed the Committee to give the town a wonderful fireworks display for everyone to enjoy.

YORK SKEET CLUB An application for the rezoning of land to accommodate a privately owned skeet club was received by Council. Prior to deciding on the merits of the application two deputations were heard by Council. As is usually the case, one was for the application while the other was against it.

Margaret Wilson representing the applicant, Mr. Bill Jackson, pointed out to Council that Mr. Jackson had met or exceeded all the requirements necessary for approval of the York Skeet Club including a willingness to review the concerns of nearby residents regarding the level of noise in the area.

The owner of the adjacent building, Valerie Cramer conceded that while the assessments had indeed been done the issue of noise was still unresolved, as they did not evaluate the noise level from the West. After a brief discussion Council decided to approve the application. The property is located on Curls Road in the Township of Laxton, now the City of Kawartha Lakes.

PROVINCIAL GAS TAX The Provincial Government is providing a long term, stable and predictable transit funding source for Ontario municipalities by providing 2 cents per liter of provincial gas tax to improve and expand transit. The City of Kawartha Lakes will be eligible

to receive an allocation of $671,403 for the period October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012.

DISCHARGE OF FIREARMS Council received a petition from citizens requesting a change in the Discharge of Firearms By-Law 2005-329 with respect to the discharge in their area in the previous Verulam Township.

Their concern is that the present bylaw prohibits the discharge of firearms in Verulam Township in the area south of Sturgeon Lake and the Little Bob River while the complainants live on the north side of Sturgeon Lake and their property is not covered by the restrictions. With the bylaw written as it is, at their residences, a neighbouring property owner is permitted to discharge a firearm in their backyard only feet away from children playing in another yard.

While there was much discussion both for and against any changes, Councillor Junkin reminded Council that the application change would only be to add the residential area on the north shore of Sturgeon Lake to ensure that the discharge of firearms would be prohibited.

STREET PARKING The Manager of Municipal Law Enforcement, Gordon Garfield, wanted the terminology of Parking Bylaws amended to reflect the general usage in other municipalities in Ontario as well as our neighbours to the South. In an effort to

treat all citizens of our City equally and maintain consistency, the 12-metered parking spaces in Bobcaygeon are recommended to allow free parking during the month of December (consistent with Lindsay parking meter requirements). This paid parking exemption encourages holiday shopping within the downtown core of Bobcaygeon. Also the terms “Disabled” and “Handicapped” are recommended to be replaced with “Accessible” throughout the amended by-law.

Upon Council adoption of the new parking bylaw, it will be forwarded to the Attorney General for their approval of the parking fine structure. During this time the current parking bylaw 2005-283 will remain in effect. Once the fine structure is approved by the Attorney General’s Office, the City will formally repeal the current bylaw and replace it with the new one.

NAMING OF THE ADDITION TO THE FENELON FALLS MUSEUM The Fenelon Falls Museum Board submitted a request to the City of its desire to name the new addition of the Fenelon Falls Museum as “The Roger Bellwood Wing”.

The City is the owner of the Maryboro Lodge, operating as the Fenelon Falls Museum, located at 50 Oak Street, Fenelon Falls. Over the past 3 years substantial renovations have been undertaken to restore the exterior of the museum as well as the construction of an addition. The majority of

funding to complete this project has been provided through Federal Heritage funding, and the Fenelon Falls C.H.E.S.T. Fund. A local volunteer committee that was originally constituted by the late Mr. Roger Bellwood has led this project. This Committee has worked with staff to ensure municipal interests were represented as the project developed.

AMBULANCE FUNDING The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care will provide the City an additional annualized base funding of up to $828,200 with respect to the land ambulance grant for the 50:50 partnership for 2012.

THE KAWARTHA LAKES MUNICIPAL AIRPORT Council approved the application to pass a bylaw to establish a municipal service board to be known as “Kawartha Lakes Municipal Airport Board” to govern, control, operate, and manage the City’s provision of a municipal airport in the City of Kawartha Lakes. However Council did not pass it without considerable lobbying for and against the proposal.

Prominent in opposition was Councillor Donna Villemaire who asked for a deferral of the application to allow time to review the Business Plan. Others were concerned about the broad powers being promulgated by the application.

Those in favour were adamant that on matters of substance the Airport Board are still required to have it reviewed by Council. The application passed in a recorded vote.

SATELLITE BINS FOR SCRAP METAL A bylaw to licence, regulate and govern Salvage Yard Businesses in the City of Kawartha Lakes was unanimously passed. At issue was concern that without municipal controls, businesses, if they so desired, could, without restraint, establish a drop off site for the public to get rid of their scrap metal. The application pointed out that a business can have a place for their personal scrap metal but they could not actively solicit the public to bring scrap metal to them.

WOW! The 3rd annual Fresh Water Summit in Coboconk was amazing!

Our Friday night reception at the wharf was a huge success with over 250 attendees. The wharf featured a boat parade called Christmas in June with prizes awarded for The Griswold and Charlie Brown boats. The Saucy Willow Inn and the OPP boat were the big winners.

I just want to remind everyone we are Canada’s Fresh Water Summit 365 days a year with no need to wait for our next special event as we look forward to seeing you all year long.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to our Fresh Water Summit Committee who worked all year to present this event. It’s a pleasure to work with such a great group of people.

A LICK AND A GULP The Kawartha Dairy Company owns its own cow.

Truth is, Kawartha Dairy owns three cows. Made of pre-cast concrete, the first cow was placed on the roof of the Minden store in 1987, followed by two additional landmark locations in Bobcaygeon and Bancroft.

Perhaps more familiar is the blue logo with The Kawartha Dairy Company in white lettering. It indicates the spots where customers can find their favourite premium dairy products: Milk, chocolate milk, cream, butter, ice cream cakes, shakes, and eggnog. And the wonderful, creamy, scooped ice cream cones that shout: It’s summer!

Known far and wide for premium dairy products, 2012 marks the Dairy’s 75th anniversary.

According to Blake Frazer, Vice President and General Manager, everyone is invited to enjoy.

Two of the official celebrations--Friday, August 3 in Minden and Saturday, August 4 in Bobcaygeon--will feature clowns, entertainment and pure family fun, along with the cows in plain view.

“It will be a modest celebration for our loyal following of fans,” he says.

is holding the official Opening of the

Waterwheel Project

at 3 pm on July 15th during the Bobcaygeon Art Festival.

Everyone is welcome. Refreshments will be served after the official opening.

75 Years for Kawartha Dairy

These two particular cottage-country outlets have become, he says, “Incredibly popular for generations. They are iconic as a summer destination.”

Frazer says he receives emails from parents who say their parents took them there for ice cream and now they are doing the same with their own children.

Kawartha Dairy is deeply rooted in family history all the way back to the day it originated with Jack and Ila Crowe. Ownership remains in the family with the Crowe’s sons and grandchildren.

Today, Frazer’s focus is where the business is now, and the direction in which it’s going.

Approximately 125 employees work fulltime or part-time year round, with a surge that doubles the number during the summer season.

Staff encompasses management, retail, students, shipping and plant employees who are all essential to the process.

Frazer explains Kawartha Dairy is successful within the dairy industry yet they are considered a small player in this “massive industry.”

The competition, he says, is huge in ice cream and milk, nationally and multi-nationally.

“We’re having a phenomenal year,” he says, attributing the current success to exceptional weather and strong geographical growth for the organization. “We are one of the few independents left. Others have chosen the path of acquisition.”

The introduction of Kawartha Dairy’s distribution of products to new markets is ongoing.

Ontario is a large growth area. With distributors for ice cream in Eastern Ontario and Toronto, the premium product in famous Moose Tracks and vanilla flavours has been available to Costco members for Inspiration …a large and diverse collection of framed decorative art available at…

There is also the scooping business, where smaller retailers buy tubs and scoop ice cream for their customers. This market extends from the Kawarthas to Southwestern Ontario.

Of the eight current retail locations, one can choose the drive-thru option in Peterborough, Huntsville and Barrie stores.

Customers may choose from approximately 47 flavours including yogurt and sherbet. Kawartha Dairy still uses fresh two percent milk versus reducing to one percent milk fat products.

BOBCAYGEON HELPS Service With Respect

Bobcaygeon Helps. A lot. It is the local emergency Food Bank. Without it, approximately thirteen percent of Bobcaygeon’s population could go hungry.

The current front-line leadership team is Food Manager, Laura Fisher, General Manager, Sue McGill, and Assistant General Manager, Cindy Bevan. Under their direction, a small army of volunteers provides the energy and person-power necessary to keep it all running.

Two essential ingredients make Bobcaygeon Helps possible: Regular contributions of food and money from the community, and the volunteers.

Seventy volunteers, including Board of Directors and local clergy, jump in to order, shop, raise funds, stock shelves, label, inspect, and serve clients. That’s just the usual operation; there are special times of the year - Christmas, for example - when the need, workload and preparations increase.

The Food Bank is a non-profit organization.

It is open Tuesdays and Fridays from 2 to 4 pm; in July and August, it is open Fridays only. During the school year, community support includes breakfast and lunch programs for local students.

McGill says, “It’s quite frightening. Based on statistics from the Chamber of Commerce, we have 401 registered clients out of 3,000 permanent Bobcaygeon residents.”

Men, women, youth. Many are children.

McGill will tell you she has a strong social conscience. “As a Canadian, it is my moral responsibility to make sure these children have enough nutritious food to grow up healthy.”

Cindy Bevan and Laura Fisher second that.

After all, when a person walks through the door of Christ Church Anglican on Sherwood Avenue, he or she probably does not want to be there.

Compassion and awareness are evident, as is their determination to provide service with respect.

“People judge each other, but people don’t live in their shoes,” McGill says of their clients. “It is society’s problem.”

What do they need? Non-perishable foods with good expiry dates. Personal care products. Money.

As items come in or volunteers purchase and pick up products, they are methodically inspected, labeled if required, and neatly stacked on shelves or in the refrigerator or freezer, ready for use. The site is spotless.

While generosity abounds, it is never enough to sustain ongoing provision of goods.

There is always an urgent need for contributions from the community--because there are always clients who need the assistance.

A key to Bobcaygeon Helps’ uniqueness is its independence.

“We are the only independent food bank in the City of Kawartha Lakes,” explains McGill. This means the donations of food and funds all remain within the community.

Bobcaygeon Helps also has a wish list.

Says McGill, “We would love one more fridge or an industrial cooler with wire baskets for fresh produce. And a lift to make the site accessible to seniors and people with disabilities. It’s a serious problem.”

As a message to visitors, cottagers, boaters, professional services, clubs and businesses and residents: Contributions may be made at any church in Bobcaygeon and both grocery stores.

As Bobcaygeon knows, every little bit Helps.

DISCRETION

A Double-Edged Sword

Our elected and appointed officials have the responsibility of exercising discretion…and so they should. However, the power must not only be used but also seen to be used judiciously and evenly if people are to trust these officials.

This is a serious and topical theme described in Cottage Wars. In the novel, an issue arises over whether a newly constructed house is a 1-storey or a 1 ½-storey building. Under the Official Plan of the municipality, a structure with a main floor and a lower level with a walkout are termed a 1 ½-storey with certain setback requirements. This seems clear enough and thus not an issue requiring the use of discretion. In this instance, however, the Planner, in a written statement, stated that he was using his discretionary powers and, in this instance, ruled that this house was a 1-storey and thus had reduced setback requirements.

In this example, as it so happened, the house was still too large for the property and exceeded the setback requirements regardless of the designation of the structure.

Why, then, was this part of the Official Plan ignored? Along with other issues described in Cottage Wars, one can only guess the answer to this. When municipal property tax revenues are the number one priority, the even-handed use of discretion can be jeopardized.

KAWARTHA SETTLERS’ VILLAGE Notes from the Manager

This is the season we have waited for! Remember all winter when we thought about sipping lemonade, cold and fresh, sitting under a big shade tree watching the boats go through the locks? Yes, this is the time to get out there and enjoy!

Our summer program is packed with fun. Our camps are booked, the events are happening and the excitement is endless. Caygeon Carnival on July 28 is approaching; plan on a full day of fun for the whole family. On August 3, Driftwood Theatre is presenting, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Nights’ Dream at Settlers’ Village. It should be a great performance by the travelling troupe.

We received some interesting donations recently: An iron hospital crib, circa 1860’s and a tabletop croquet set circa 1885. Both are unique and welcome additions to the collection. Please drop up and take a tour around the Village--it looks wonderful. Our volunteers do a good job of groundskeeping, cleaning and artifact displays. Come and talk to our staff or just visit our animals! You and your guests are always welcome.

We want you to start getting ready for the fall, so I am letting the cat out of the bag, so to speak.

We are having a pie baking contest! Now, I do not mean a pie buying contest; rather buy the flour, shortening, etc., make the pastry and cooking the pie just like Mom used to make. These delights will be judged at our Harvest Festival, along with preserves and many others attractions. So mark the date and start practicing. Your family will love it!

Hope to see you at the official opening of the Waterwheel Project on July 15. Also, the Bobcaygeon Art Show is on July 13, 14 and 15. I heard it is going to be the best ever!

Safety Advice

• Avoid needless exposure to the sun.

• Don’t let infants or children play or sleep in the sun in a playpen, carriage, stroller.

• Protect your eyes by wearing UV blocking sunglasses.

• If you can’t cover up, use a sunscreen containing a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15, verify it has both UVA and UVB protection, re-apply every two hours and after sweating or swimming.

• Avoid using indoor sun lamps. Choose shade for outdoor activities.

• Get children used to wearing sunscreen lotion, paying particular attention to the most exposed parts--the lips, face, neck, shoulders, back, knees and tops of feet.

• It is fine to use both sunscreen and insect repellents when outdoors. Apply the sunscreen • first, followed by the insect repellent.

BEAT THIS HEAT

It’s another hot, summer day and the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit warns people to take precautions to beat the heat and protect their health.

Hot and humid conditions can take a toll on the health of people, especially those most vulnerable to heat-related illness such as infants and young children, older adults, people with chronic medical conditions, and individuals who work outside.

Adverse health effects can include cramping, weakness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and fainting.

Heat stroke is a medical emergency that can prove fatal if not treated. Symptoms of heat stroke include headache, dizziness, confusion, and fainting. Skin can also become hot and dry, or there may be sweating due to high body temperature.

Prevention is the best remedy to avoiding heatrelated illness: • Never leave a child or pet in a parked car, or sleeping outside in direct sunlight.

• Drink plenty of water and diluted natural fruit juices through the day to stay cool and hydrated.

Avoid consuming alcohol, coffee, and cola.

• Eat light, cool foods, and avoid using the oven or other hot appliances.

• If you can, avoid going out in the sun or heat.

Doing strenuous activities on very hot and humid days is not recommended.

• Stay in air-conditioned rooms, either at home, a friend’s place or public places such as malls, libraries, movie theatres, community centres.

• Take a cool bath or shower periodically or cool down with cool, wet towels.

Roots & Ramblings UNLOCK THE SUMMER GARDEN TOUR PART 2

by John Bick Bobcaygeon & District Horticultural Society

We hope by now you’ve had the chance to take at least one live tour of the beautiful public gardens in Bobcaygeon area as described in the last issue of The Promoter.

Kindly follow along as we continue Unlock The Summer Garden Tour Part 2!

We begin at the corner of Need & Boyd Streets were there is pair of triangular rockeries. These rockeries are home to dwarf conifers, dense ground covers, miniature spring bulbs and sun-loving annuals. A variety of textures, shapes, and colours provide an eye-pleasing display for many months of the year thanks to the efforts of Joyce Bryon and her assistants.

The Trent Canal Monument Bed which is best viewed from the bridge, the water or Canal Street contains successive plantings of forsythia, lilac, and smoke bush. They provide an accent background for lilies, daffodils and summer plants. West of the bridge is the Lockmaster’s Bed where vibrant helliopsis, white carpet lilies, potentilla, Mrs. Belcher’s phlox and red begonias supply summer colour for boaters and others who enjoy the nearby park. The War Memorial Cenotaph Bed located on the edge of the park along Bolton Street, the Watchman’s House Bed, the Canal Sign Bed and the plantings at the Horticultural Office at the Swing Bridge complete the canal landscaping under the custodianship of Elizabeth Williamson’s group.

Renewed in 2007 under the expert direction of Ingrid Whitney, the gardens at Rokeby Market Square replaced one of our Society’s first public gardens.

The three island beds represent the three islands of Bobcaygeon. The heritage fountain was a source of drinking water for many years. The horsehead hitching posts hark back to an earlier era. Heirloom peonies, astilbe, lamium, rudbeckia, iris and other plants create a pleasant place to enjoy a rest on one of the benches. The Colorado Green spruce is lit up for the Christmas season. Joe Hayes heads up the team that tends these lovely gardens.

Finally, it is worth seeking out the garden of which many of us are very proud, namely the Children’s Garden at Kawartha Settlers’ Village on Dunn Street.

“Teach them while they are young and they will follow through all their lives,” is an adage promoted by the Ontario Horticultural Association.

In 2003, our late President David Marsden and others, designed a junior program which fit the curricula of grades 3-5. A parcel of land at KSV was set aside for our Society and the Bobcaygeon Public

School to use as a settler’s vegetable garden. Each year, traditional vegetables and companion flowers are planted by the children. The produce goes to the local Food Source. Some of children return in October to create and compose profiles for a family of scarecrows which are installed for the autumn.

Our newest project is the revamping of the gardens created by the late Earl Murray next to the Waterwheel and Grist Mill at KSV. This is one of our 90th Anniversary Projects. It is still a work in progress, most of which will be in place for the Society’s Garden Tour of July 7th.

We welcome you to enjoy touring the public gardens for the next months as we continue to unlock the summer through the love and beauty of horticulture.

Good gardening.

TOP FOUR GROOMING ESSENTIALS

Your Happy, Healthy, Handsome Pet

Grooming is an important part of pet care. Dogs and cats require regular grooming to keep them healthy.

One of the major benefits of regular grooming is that you become familiar with your pet’s body allowing you to quickly recognize any health problems. Grooming is a fantastic way to bond with your pet, and a great way to spend quality time with your loyal companion. Bathing, brushing, ear cleaning and nail trimming are all important steps in maintaining a happy, healthy and handsome pet.

1

Bathing can be quite an adventure for pets and it is a great way to rid your pet’s coat of any dirt, dander and debris. Before a bath, brush your pet’s fur to help loosen tangles and stimulate the skin. Always use a shampoo that is designed especially for your animal. Shampoo for humans can be harmful to their skin and destroy your pet’s natural oils resulting in itchy, flaky, irritated skin. Once you’ve pre-rinsed your pet, lather him up with your pet-friendly shampoo.

Make sure to save your pet’s face for last and use a damp cloth to clean around the eyes, ears and nose.

After a thorough scrub, make sure you rinse your pet really well, as soap residue can cause skin irritations.

Be prepared with lots of towels! Rub your pet down with a towel to absorb any excess water and finish

him off with a good brushing.

2

Brushing is another common grooming routine that should be done on a regular basis. Brushing is essential to the health of your pet’s skin and coat as it removes dead hair and skin, prevents odours and spreads the natural oils in their coats. It is one of the simplest routines and one of the most necessary. Brushes are available in a wide variety to accommodate different types of pets and coats.

Remember, the more often you brush your pet, the less often you have to bathe them!

3

Ears can collect dirt and are a prime place for infection. Keeping your pet’s ears clean is a great way to keep him healthy and prevent illness. Do regular ear checks at home by looking inside your pet’s ears. Take note of the colour. The inside of your pet’s ears should be a healthy pink. Wipe the outer ear using pet ear wipes and be careful not to touch what you cannot easily see when cleansing the inside of the ears. Symptoms of poor ear conditions include sensitivity to touch, brown, black or yellow discharge, shaking or continuous head tilting and foul odour. Your veterinarian should treat these symptoms immediately.

4

Nail trimming is important for both cats and dogs as lengthy nails can put unnecessary pressure on your pet’s feet. It is important to play with your pet’s paws to get them used to the feel of having their paws handled. Cats have brittle nails that can easily shatter so it is best to use a nail clipper suited for cats.

Dogs have stronger nails so a stronger nail clipper is necessary. Here’s an excellent strategy for the finicky pet: trim your pet’s nails over the course of a few days. There’s no rule that says it has to be done all at once.

IT WORKS WHEN YOU DO

by Barb Khagram

VCCS Student Employment Centre

Summer’s here and many young people need jobs to earn money to put toward their education or help pay for hobbies or activities. A job also gives a person good experience and an opportunity to get a taste of different kinds of work.

Help is available through VCCS and their Employment Centre for Students. There are many great positions open throughout the City of Kawartha Lakes, so whether students seek opportunities in Human Resources, Technician or Customer Service, the VCCS Student Centre can help them find the right fit for their interests and skills.

Horoscopes

FOR JULY 13-26

Aries (March 21 to April 20) It’s not always the happy ending that counts, Aries. Most often it’s the story on the pages before that matters most. And you are the one who is writing this sweet life story of yours--so you set the plot and choose the characters. Enjoy the read!

Taurus (April 20 to May 21) Pressures at work may be hard to take during this phase, Taurus.

Try to relax. Breathe deeply. And do not bring those troubles home. Just tuck them away in your top desk drawer at the end of the day. Good luck!

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Money will be a noteworthy focus for you in the days ahead, Gemini. Be cautious with you finances, but keep looking forward.

You can expect a small bubble of good fortune. It won’t be earth shattering, but it will be significant enough to let you know you are on the right track.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” This is good advice for you right now, Cancer. We’re sure you know of someone who can use your help, and whether it’s big or small--or even just a kind word--everything will be appreciated.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Sometimes it may seem to you like you are wandering... wandering...like a drifting vagabond. Please note well, Leo: all who wander are not lost. This is your phase, and, while you may not reach your destination just now, there is so much to see along the way, why would you want the journey to end?

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Recognition, rewards, prestige are all around you, Virgo. And you

by Melodie Mc Cullough

deserve this! Your efforts have paid off and the tangible results are there for all to see, and for you in which to delight. The pleasure is all yours!

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) If a romance were to begin now, it is quite possible to be with someone from a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. This is exciting, Libra! Go forward with the knowledge you have much love to share.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Scorpio is a water sign, being emotionally reserved, and yet intense and sensitive, displaying opposite traits simultaneously.

Mars ruled Scorpio in antiquity, but, since its discovery, Pluto is the modern ruler of Scorpio. This is one of the reasons Scorpio shows such contradictory traits -- Mars is the planet of war and aggression and impulsiveness, whereas Pluto is the planet of renewal and transformation. We know you are always at work, attempting to merge the two attributes, and at times it isn’t easy.

Stay the course!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) You can expect to be called upon to write and give a speech in the near future, Sagittarius. If you’ve never done this before, please do not fret. This is the perfect opportunity to put your creativity and person skills together--and wow everyone in sight!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) You’ve had a bit of a set back, haven’t you, Capricorn? But the road ahead will be much smoother. Just take your time. You, and you alone, know how much you can do and in what time frame. Don’t let anyone push you faster than you need to go.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Stop allowing events from your past to affect you, Aquarius. The present and future are all should think and care about. Dwelling on the past will only make you feel depressed. You now what is most important to you and what makes you happy--concentrate on these!

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) The stars are telling us that you most compatible with people under the Virgo sign at this time. But the psychology of love is sometimes hard to follow, Pisces. You must be selective, yet sincere, bold, yet believable. Good luck!

All About Your Health SUMMERTIME & THE EATING IS HEALTHY

The Topic You Shouldn’t Avoid Love summer? Care about your health? How about your family’s health?

This season is the perfect time to indulge in wonderful, fresh produce that is grown in our own rich soils. Summer holidays needn’t be the excuse to toss aside common sense.

Before you choose, cook or try to pass over the variety of fresh offerings, you’ll be wise to do your research first.

EatRight Ontario offers exceptional information from nutrition, health, weight management lists, and recipes for children, youth, adults and older adults, and it illustrates factual information such as how to keep your brain sharp and your body strong and nourished.

Here are just a couple of family tips from EatRight Ontario (eatrightontario.ca): • Plan regular meals at home as a family. Busy schedules can make this a challenge but do your best to have at least one meal together each day.

• Eat at the table. Enjoy time together without TV, toys or other distractions.

• Make one meal for everyone.

• Offer everybody the same foods at mealtimes.

Avoid making something special for ‘picky’ eaters. Children and youth will learn to like many

different foods only if they are encouraged to try them. Making only one meal also saves money and prevents waste.

• Set a good example and choose the healthy foods.

Jump to Health Canada (www.hc-sc.gc.ca) for more, including Canada’s Food Guide. There you can find everything else you ever need to know, including the topic of fresh vegetables.

Did you know that vegetables and fruit make up the largest arc of Canada’s Food Guide rainbow? A healthy diet rich in a variety of vegetables and fruit may help reduce the risk of some types of cancer.

Eating lots of vegetables and fruit regularly may also lower your risk for heart disease.

Having at least one vegetable or fruit at every meal and as a snack will help you get the amount of vegetables and fruit you need each day. Explore the variety of colours, tastes and textures this food group offers.

• E at at least one dark green and one orange vegetable each day.

•G o for dark green vegetables such as broccoli, romaine lettuce, and spinach.

•G o for orange vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and winter squash.

• Enjoy vegetables and fruit prepared with little or no added fat, sugar or salt.

• Have vegetables steamed, baked or stir-fried instead of deep-fried.

• Have vegetables and fruit more often than juice.

Bonus: My Food Guide is an interactive tool that will help you personalize the information found in Canada’s Food Guide.

By entering personal information, such as age and sex, selecting various items from the four food groups and choosing different types of physical activities, you can create a tool that is customized just for you.

There are lots of foods to choose from in each of the four food groups, so be sure to try different combinations when creating this tool that illustrates how you can eat well with Canada’s Food Guide.

• Physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk of over 25 chronic conditions, including coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, breast cancer, colon cancer, Type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis.

• Regular physical activity and higher levels of fitness allow daily tasks to be accomplished with greater ease and comfort and with less fatigue.

• Research shows that as much as half the functional decline between the ages of 30 and 70 is due not to aging itself but to an inactive way of life. (And the habits begin in childhood!)

Just do the best you can. Enjoy a variety of foods from the four food groups.

FIGHT THE BITE Tips for a Safe Summer

This year’s warm spring and summer weather has had an unpleasant side effect. West Nile virus has been detected in the province earlier than in most years.

Although there have been no reports of mosquitoes testing positive for West Nile virus in the area served by the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, positive results have been confirmed in the Toronto and Durham area.

The Health Unit urges local residents to fight the bite to protect themselves from West Nile virus.

While most people who get West Nile virus do not experience any symptoms, a small number of individuals may develop flu-like symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, muscle weakness and stiff neck. In some cases, people may develop more serious symptoms including confusion, tremors, and a sudden sensitivity to light. People who suspect they have West Nile virus should seek immediate medical attention.

People can protect themselves by: • Wearing long-sleeved shirts, jackets, pants, hats and socks when outside, especially during the evening, nighttime or dawn when mosquitoes are most active.

• Using insect repellent containing DEET on exposed skin. Be sure to follow Health Canada’s safety tips on using personal insect repellent.

•C hecking that window and door screens fit tight and do not have holes through which mosquitoes can enter the home.

Last year, 78 Ontario residents contracted West Nile virus and 278 “pools” or batches of mosquitoes tested positive for the virus across the province.

There were no positive mosquito pools in the City of Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton County or Northumberland County last year. For information on West Nile virus, contact the Health Unit at 1.866.888.4577 or visit www.hkpr.on.ca

Blue Canoe Program Launches on Kawartha Lakes

Photo: Coming to a shoreline near you, Christine MacCormack and Kellie Sherman

Landowners along the shorelines of Balsam, Cameron, Pigeon, and Sturgeon lakes can expect a visit from the Blue Canoe.

The program was launched in the Ken Reid Conservation Area by Kawartha Conservation and lake management planning partners. The Blue Canoe is part of the early implementation of lake management plans being developed for lakes within the Kawarthas, and supported by the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Blue Canoe members are trained stewardship staff who will provide personalized advice, recommendations, and information to shoreline property owners. They will be travelling from dock to dock by canoe, or door to door by car, depending on the weather. They will also be at local events and lake association meetings.

As part of their on-site visits and meetings, they will help property owners identify opportunities for

protecting water quality, deterring Canada geese, preventing shoreline erosion, and limiting aquatic weed and blue-green algae growth in the water, while also providing information about lake management planning and other ways to help protect the lake.

“After completing more than 2,000 visits on Lake Scugog in 2010, we’re excited to now be launching on other lakes in the Kawarthas,” said Kawartha Conservation CAO Rob Messervey. “We received a lot of positive feedback from the landowners we visited, and also received many requests from others to bring the program to their lakes.”

Over the next three years, the Blue Canoe will visit over 3,150 properties on Balsam, Cameron, Pigeon and Sturgeon lakes.

Seven years have passed on by since “God” called you above.

My heart was taken with you.

You were so “Special Love” I have lost my soul’s companion, a life linked with my own.

Sadly I miss your footsteps, As I wander all alone.

You never failed to do your best Your heart was “True and Tender,” You toiled hard for those you loved, Then left them to remember.

Deep in my heart lies a picture, Of my “Loved Ones” gone to rest In memory’s frame I shall keep it, Because you “All” were the very best.

I realize there comes a time When some things are meant to be As time goes on I miss you more You were “all the world” to me The flowerbeds are gone now I do the best I can I cannot wait to be with you “Together” in the better land You will always be my “Special Angel” And “Our Parents” too.

Love always and forever Your loving husband, Bill.

THANK YOU

Thank You To all the people in the City of Kawartha Lakes, our neighbouring communities and especially Fenelon Falls, who support the Health Care System as we have experienced it directly over the last 6 years in caring for our Mother Kate Sowten, Thank You. Thanks to her caregivers (there are too many to list and Kate would have hated for us to miss anyone but there were many of you) for making Fenelon Court LTC, Fenelon Falls, her home for over 5 1/2 years, for giving her dignity even when she faced that mentally difficult time on admission, and for treating her like family, in the most physically difficult time at the end of her stay, this May 20, 2012. We have had many, many Blessings.

You, too, are blessed as a resident of the City of Kawartha Lakes, because you too have health care services available when you need it, and it is right here in your neighbourhood or more correctly, in your community. Thanks, to you and to a community of caregivers and community agencies and the volunteers and employees, who work from the heart, not from the pocketbook. It is obvious they love what they do! Thank you to this Community!

The family of the Late Kate [Kay/Kathleen] Sowten. _____________________

What a surprise!

We would like to thank our neighbours of 29 years on Nogies Creek.

You were always there for us. Thanks for the pot luck and gift.

In Memory

It’s a memory once more for the upmost “Amazing Dad” As I sit here on my deck, dad, looking at all the stars, I can always pick you out because without a doubt you are the biggest brightest star of them all.

Everyday Dad in some big way all our memories together brighten each day It only takes one smile of yours to make a miserable day seem brighter Still to this day my way through life is through you, every day I am doing something you taught me and I always say to myself, Man am I glad I listed to my Dad as I am able to do more for myself because you show me the way. I am very grateful Dad should I never receive another gift in life It wouldn’t matter to me.

For the best gift I was ever given, was the gift you gave me by being my Dad No one will ever know how fun, exciting and loving it is being you daughter There will never be anyone that I could love more than “I Love You Dad.” I pray each night that you are comfortable and happy Hopefully telling a joke or two as you used to do I will carry on with all my memories of being your daughter, that lies within my heart knowing you are being taken care of by angels Which makes me a tad jealous as I would of loved to care for you had I had the opportunity to do so.

In my heart tender, fond

and true there will never be a day I do not think of you.

Forever treasuring our love for each other and loving you beyond words I will continue to carry on as the luckiest and proudest daughter of the most caring, loving, knowledgeable Dad ever.

Love always forever & ever something that will never change my love for you.

Chamber Membership

Benefits Everybody

by Bobcaygeon Chamber of Commerce

Chambers of Commerce represent their business communities on matters important to their members’ financial health. This is accomplished by serving as a good resource centre for a range of business needs and practices and by talking to governments on issues of interest.

The Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber does all this, which is one good reason for being a member.

Volunteers and office staff add a great deal more. The seven major events: the Canada-U.S. Walleye Tournament, Community Bikefest and Cruisefest attract thousands of people--and, let’s face it, generates money. That’s a good second reason!

A happy community also makes for good business. The Chamber hosts the Awards of Excellence, Unlock the Summer,

S.R.S. Home Improvements 6TH ANNUAL

GOLF Tournament $100 per person Includes:

18 Holes of GOLF ~8:30am Tee Off Power Cart

Midnight Madness and Christmas House Tour and supports the local Farmers Market. That’s a strong third reason.

Also, behind the scenes, office manager Ruthanne Wilson, along with Wendy and Sheri, help the resorts, motels and inns fill their rooms by directing enquiries to their reservations desks.

These three individuals are also Bobcaygeon Information Central, fielding questions every working day. Example of questions include: Can we go mall-walking?

(Reply: No, but we’ve got some terrific stores to browse!)

Finally, driver’s licenses, vehicle license plates and health cards can be issued and renewed in minutes, compared to the long wait times elsewhere. Supervised exams taken in the office, paperwork photocopied at the village’s lowest rates and faxes sent at base cost.

With almost 260 members, an 18-member, all-volunteer board of directors and lots of event-related volunteers, the Chamber of Commerce is a very important part of our business community and our people.

Business owners and communityminded individuals can take out memberships at the region’s lowest rates: $163.85 for full Business privileges and $39.55 for the supportive Associate status.
