OFF THE TOP
After local resident Joe Berta raised a flag about a possible BlueGreen Algae bloom on Pigeon Lake, I asked the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit if there was an advisory out. I was surprised by manager environmental health Richard Ovcharovich’s answer. The health unit no longer issues advisories. Instead, they are doing public education. Hence, a poster entitled “BlueGreen Algae: Get to Know Its True Colours” has been advertised. But, the health unit says it is not in response to an issue on the Pigeon. It is just to make people aware that Blue-Green Algae might happen – and indeed probably will happen every Spring and Fall – and what they should and shouldn’t do. Otherwise, the health unit would have to observe the water, take samples and have them analyzed and with only one lab in Ontario, delayed test results could put more people at risk, not to mention that it is impossible to track blooms, which change, move, dissipate and

reappear. That is why the health unit is going with the public education approach - likening it it to educating the public about poison ivy. I did ask if it was more about cost-cutting and Ovcharovich conceded it “may be” but added the health unit had worked with cottage associations and Kawartha Conservation to get the word out and the change (now into its second year) was being positively received. Mind you, the Peterborough County-City health unit told me that health units are still working with the Ministry of the Environment, which may or may not investigate when they get a call. (Incidentally, they did look into Berta’s complaint and found Blue-Green Algae and the PCCHU did put something on their website). As for health units no longer issuing advisories, I’m not convinced the change has been positively received. Residents are well-advised to get their hands on the poster (www.hkpr.on.ca) since they are now responsible for tracking blooms in the city - or try their luck with the MOE (1-800-268-6060). editor@thepromoter.ca

City Hall
by Gord Killen
Dunsford Tower
At the Sept. 24 meeting, City of Kawartha Lakes council was again asked to consider an application to permit a 45-meter self-supported internet telecommunications tower by Xplornet Communications Inc. at 2189 Thurstonia Rd. in Dunsford. Area residents Debbie Patterson and Ken Ryall spoke against the application. They said they were worried about radiation; thought the company could use one of two existing towers in the area; and felt Xplornet’s Health Canada studies were old and out of date. Patterson also felt the area is being adequately served by Cable Cable. Les Narday and Jim Pine of Xplornet said they’d met all of the city’s requirements, including public consultation; they were fully compliant with Health Canada Safety Code 6; and that the tower is for internet use, not cell phones, so radiation is not an issue. Ward 13 Coun. Pat Warren asked about using existing towers in the area, to which Xplornet replied that they need the right equipment at the right height to be able to supply signals to those who are under-served in the area. Ward 4 Coun. Glenn Campbell wondered whether satellites or two smaller towers could
provide the same service. Xplornet agreed but felt the tower gives subscribers an alternative. Council referred the report back to staff for further review of the latest information from Health Canada Code 6.
Provincial Gas Tax
From 2008 to 2012, the city received an average of $605,567 annually through the provincial gas tax program for transportation services. In 2013 the amount was $428,489, a reduction of $242,914. Any monies allocated to the city by the province that are not used within a specific period of time must be returned to the province. Ward 12 Coun. Gord James asked council to form a task force consisting of the CAO, director of corporate services, city treasurer, himself and Ward 8 Coun. Donna Villemaire (former appointees to the transit advisory committee), with a mandate to review the background information and reporting requirements for provincial gas tax funding; and that the task force report back to council no later than the second meeting in October of this year with an update. The motion easily passed.

The Academy Theatre brought back a request for $100,000 in annual operating funding from the city. Ward 9 Coun. Andy Luff lobbied for the money, saying the theatre fulfills a cultural need in the city and needed to be assured of annual operating funding. Ward 2 Coun. Emmett Yeo replied that while that is true, “I have had other e-mails, Settlers Village, Globus Theatre, to name just two. How do we fund them all?” Yeo went on to say that only 5% of the population uses the Academy. James said that it would be opening a Pandora’s Box to approve funding since the theatre is a private enterprise. It was pointed out that since 2007 the Lindsay Legacy CHEST Fund has provided the Academy with $330,258.47 for renovations and equipment purchases, although not operational costs. The motion for funding was defeated 14-3. Luff

Letters to the editor
I am writing in reference to your article “Gary Poole remembered” (Sept. 20, 2013). I became acquainted with Gary by telephone in the early 1980s. I was working in Toronto in the insurance claims business. I received a call from Gary, to discuss an insurance claim for damage to an outboard motorboat owned by one of his customers and the cost of temporary replacement, while repairs were being done. His charges were most reasonable. I retired in the early 1990s and moved to Bobcaygeon. During our early years in this town we bought an 18-foot motorboat which I hauled back and forth to Sturgeon Lake on my trailer. One day as I was on my way home, the boat parted company with the trailer in mid-intersection. I telephoned Gary for help and he came to my rescue most promptly retrieving the boat from the roadway to his shop for repair. It was ready soon afterwards and his charges were reasonably minimal. He was a gentleman and a scholar and I shall never forget him. God rest his soul. Bruce E. McTaggart Bobcaygeon
Boats untied
The Sept. 20 issue of the Promoter had an article about traffic on the Trent-Severn Waterway and reasons that it could be down. There are a lot of local boats travelling on a regular basis back and forth to their favourite places such as Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls. I would think that some of that traffic may think twice about staying over in Bobcaygeon. On Friday Sept. 27, my husband and I took our boat to Bobcaygeon so that we may have dinner, go to the fair, stay for the parade and shop in the village. We think that Bobcaygeon is a wonderful place to visit and the fair weekend there on the boat is a tradition with us. Well no longer. During the early hours of Saturday, about 3:30, our boat was untied by a young man who I saw running away when he realized that I had woken up. I got up just as he pushed our boat away from the wall on the Sturgeon side of the lock. I was quick enough to jump off the bow and we retied our boat. Our neighbour was not so lucky, as they were floating in the middle of the reach, sound asleep. It took us some time to rouse them – yelling and honking our horn. Finally, they too were safe again. We checked all other boats around us and thought that we were the only victims until we walked to the lock and looked down. It was worse there, with at least six boats and one houseboat tangled in the middle of the reach. Again, it took some time and effort to bring everyone to safety. The police were called, first just to alert them
that this had happened but we called a second time when we realized that there was a possibility that we had missed some poor person who was now floating down the river unaware. They never indicated that they would even come. Really, what could they do? The cowards had already run away. It certainly made everyone nervous though to think that we still had the rest of the night to get through and to know that there was nobody around who cared enough to watch out for us. This was not funny to anyone that night or on any other night that the cowards come out and untie the boats. Lives can be lost, people injured, and property (boats) damaged. We did not stay to shop or spend another night in the village. As we left, a family who had just arrived to go to the fair and stay overnight on their boat was worried about staying. As we began to tell friends of our experience, it was obvious that it had already spread – everyone had already heard. All I can say is that all were grateful that someone woke up, but now will think twice about making their destination a place where they may be at risk. I would think that it would be a good idea for a security guard to be visible on fair weekend. What is the point of going to all the time and expense to put in new docks and hydro when people will be afraid to stay and use it? If these people were to be caught, they should be charged to the full extent of the law for endangering the public in that way. You are cowards and you know who you are. You must be aware that the village works hard to bring in tourist dollars and these dollars probably give you a part-time job or full time jobs for your parents. Are you really wanting to jeopardize that? And for what? - you ran away.

Lindsay “doctor” pleads guilty
By Lisa Gervais
LINDSAY - Arun Reddy used a massage therapist’s healthcare number to fraudulently run the Lindsay Medical Laser Therapy clinic before officials swooped in on him last March. Det. Const. Rob Brown of the Toronto Police Service shared some of the details of the case with The Kawartha Promoter after Reddy,31, pleaded guilty in the Ontario Provincial Court in Toronto Sept. 16 to Fraud Over $5,000. According to a press release from Aviva Canada, Reddy received a suspended sentence and was placed on 12 months probation on condition he not apply as a physician anywhere in Canada and not submit invoices to insurance companies for services rendered. He also made restitution payments totaling more than $50,000. Aviva spokesman Glenn Cooper told The Kawartha Promoter “Mr. Reddy managed to register himself as a healthcare provider in the system used by Ontario healthcare providers to administer treatment plans and submit invoices to automobile insurance companies.” Brown said investigators found the massage therapist did not know that Reddy was using the healthcare number. He said Reddy had made an application to The College of Physicians and
Surgeons of Ontario for a license but had been rejected. A spokesperson for the college would only say that Reddy was never licensed by the college. Brown said he spoke with a number of former clients of Reddy’s clinic and while there was no issue with the service they received, there was a billing issue. Cooper said that “routine internal controls that monitor healthcare provider accreditation” eventually caught up with Reddy. Brown said there may have also been a tip. The police officer said it was a clear-cut case and police arrested Reddy after he had apparently fled to Alberta. Asked what, if anything, could be done differently so this type of thing does not happen again, Cooper said “there needs to be continuous evaluation of regulations governing assessment and treatment by healthcare providers and clinics that support the Ontario automobile insurance system.” For locals concerned about someone passing themselves off as a doctor, Cindy Snider said the Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative “makes sure that family doctor recruits are licensed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. New recruits are also interviewed and credentialed by the primary care group that they are joining. Also, Curriculum Vitaes (CVs) of potential recruits from outside Ontario are reviewed through HealthForceOntario.”

Just a few weeks ago, many students left home for the first time to go to college or university. Although it was a very long time ago – September 4, 1975 – I can remember that day in my life as if it were yesterday. I was so excited that I didn't even consider it an emotional experience. I was eager to leave home and to be out on my own. Time to kick up my heels! I was in disbelief, then, when it came time to say good-bye to Mom and Dad: I got a big lump in my throat and couldn't say anything. But, off my cousin and I went to the city. You will laugh at the most rebellious thing I did that year – I got my ears pierced. My mom had always insisted that if God had intended for people to have pierced ears, God would have created us with holes in our ear lobes! Guess who bought me most of my earrings, though? Mom. Our first trip home came at Thanksgiving. As my cousin and I drove into Lockeport, we couldn't believe how small it seemed. Were there really only six streetlights? Life had changed forever. The genie had been let out of the bottle. I had become an adult. You may have children and grandchildren coming home at Thanksgiving after being away for the first time. Enjoy them, listen to their stories, don't ask too many nosy questions, hug them, kiss them and let them know how glad you are to have them home.

Tree of Life campaign underway
BOBCAYGEON - Shoppers’ Drug Mart’s 2013 Tree of Life Campaign in support of women’s health will continue until Oct.11. The Alzheimer Society is again the charity of choice. Fund development coordinator Debra McCarthy said it is a significant contribution from the Bobcaygeon community. Three quarters of Canadians diagnosed with Alzheimer’s are women and they carry the greater load of care-giving when the family is affected by dementia. In 2012, Shoppers’ presented the society with a cheque for $1,292 - 100% of which was used for local programs and services in Bobcaygeon. “I am so grateful to Anand Shaw and his support of our work as there is an increasing demand for our services everywhere,” McCarthy said. The public can contact the local office by calling 1-800-7650515 or going to www.alzheimer.ca/pklnh.

LINDSAY - When the winners for the 11th annual high school business plan competition were recently announced, Arianna Hunter was in Europe working for the summer. The IE Weldon Secondary School student was thrilled to learn she’d won the grand prize. “I have been dreaming of being a wedding planner, the topic of my business plan, for years and have spent two years perfecting it. I am going to Carleton University in the fall for Entrepreneurship where I am excited to further educate myself in the business world and take one step closer to my dream,” Arianna said. All high school students from Gr. 9 to 12 are invited to develop a business concept and create a formal business plan. The plans are reviewed by judges who are volunteers with the youth program Summer Company through the Kawartha Lakes Small Business Enterprise Centre (KLSBEC).

Roots & Ramblings Working with children
BOBCAYGEON - Encouraging children to contribute to their community through gardening is one of the mandates of our horticultural society. Each spring our volunteers teach the local Gr. 3s about germination, soil, fertilization and planting. The students then plant tomato and marigold seeds in pots which they carefully tend in their classroom for the next few weeks.

When these seedlings are ready for transplanting, the children carry them to Kawartha Settlers’ Village and proudly plant them and other vegetable seeds in the Children’s Garden. Prior to that day, they learn to prepare the garden by pulling weeds, adding soil and moo poo (their favourite task). All the food raised in the Children’s Garden goes to the Bobcaygeon Food Bank. This year we received a $150 grant from the Ontario Horticultural Society for a children’s project. One of our directors, Barry Scully and the children planned a Butterfly Way Station which was planted at the Peace Garden north of the school. The children were asked to bring plants that would attract butterflies. “The success of the Butterfly Project got off to a great start because of several key players. Jane Austin, the principal of Bobcaygeon Public School was very enthusiastic about this project and welcomed us with open arms. Angie Kimble, the Gr. 2 teacher at BPS, a strong supporter of our efforts, found a perfect link between her Insect Unit and the project. Lastly, Ms. Kimble`s learners were keen to learn about plants enjoyed by butterflies and were most enthusiastic as they actively prepared the soil and planted flowers to attract our delicate winged beauties.” The principal, teachers, and pupils are to be applauded. They truly made a difference for this project and for the butterflies. Submitted by Joyce Bryon & Barry Scully, Bobcaygeon & District Horticultural Society
Bobcaygeon and area Chamber of Commerce
BOBCAYGEON – It’s been 18 years as one of Bobcaygeon’s signature events, and the Chamber of Commerce-organized Cruisefest still packs them in, with antique and classic vehicles arriving this year from as far afield as Fort Erie and Ottawa. Despite the overcast weather – owners of such lovingly-restored vehicles don’t like rain splotches marring their shining paint finishes – the 2013 event attracted 202 entrants, including several unusual vehicles and a half-ton pick-up whose owners had actually come to Bobcaygeon to visit friends who, as it turned out, weren’t home. The couple then toured the village, noticed the advertising signs, joined in and, would you believe, took home a Cruisefest trophy. Between 600 and 1,000 local and area residents and visitors took in the show, a number that’s believed to be the biggest ever. Thanks to our corporate sponsors, food and music suppliers, the Kawartha Lakes Fire Rescue (Bobcaygeon) members for their Jaws of Life demonstration and committee members and volunteers. The 50/50 draw took in $810, with half the chamber’s $405 donated to a Kawartha Lakes Fire Rescue (Bobcaygeon) community project.

WATEROPOLIS Tried & Tested in Kawartha Lakes I’m often asked if WRAIN conducts research. We don’t have a research lab or researchers on staff; we rely on our partners who make up the Water Research & Innovation Network. One of the key members of WRAIN is Fleming College’s Office of Applied Research, specifically their Centre For Alternative Wastewater Treatment (CAWT). The CAWT offers applied research and business development services to industry and community organizations. They provide experienced professional researchers, scientists, technologists and students to help design, develop, test, prototype, verify, or improve products and services. Over the past five years, the CAWT has secured more than $8 million in research funding for their clients. They are currently expanding their facility to offer more services. The CAWT’s researchers have extensive expertise in many innovative and leading edge water and wastewater treatment technologies. They use their expertise to design and build demonstration projects for a variety of applications in agricultural, industrial, municipal, residential, and aquaculture sectors. They consult on projects all over the world including India and China. They are currently working on a research project in Nunavut.

MISSING THE MOMENT
By David Sparkes
Years ago, when video cameras first began to make an impact, I purchased what now would be considered an extremely bulky and hard to handle camcorder. It was my pride and joy and I determined to record all important events for

posterity. Mistake. Today, when I see so many people with their heads bent and one arm outstretched, concentrating on their smart phones, I think to myself.....mistake. Living in the moment requires full participation; otherwise, it seems to me you are missing the moment. Of course, in some circumstances the use of these ubiquitous gadgets can be downright dangerous and you can create an entirely different moment to experience. The mistake with the video recorder was to take myself away from being a participant and immerse myself in recording the event. In doing so, you view things through the very limited eyes of the camera. Sure, you have this great record of what happened but it’s as if you were not present at the time. You were an observer. Now, with the technology available to us, bulky camcorders are not necessary and those smart phones can be used for taking videos as well as texting, tweeting and playing all manner of games. People seem to be mesmerized by those things; unable to put them away for fear of missing something. And in doing so they are missing something: they are missing the moment. You can run –but you can’t hide, from those tyrannical cell phones. There was a time when you were out of touch when you left the office or your home. Nowadays there are employers who expect their staff to be available 24 hours a day regardless of what they might be doing (pause to reflect on the possibilities). Unless you are bold enough to simply switch off the cell phone, you are on call. City dwellers can escape to the subway where signals cannot seek them out; but that will change soon. Remember when the powers that predict told us we were in for a life of leisure thanks to the high tech revolution? I read somewhere that some concert halls and theatres are considering having designated areas where people can use their messaging devices. It seems that some of us have to report how much they are enjoying the performance to their multiple acquaintances while missing the very thing they are reporting. What is that all about? Imagine trying to explain to today’s teenagers that there was a time, not so long ago, when you contacted an operator to make a phone call and for overseas calls you had to book in advance. Then you had to sit around waiting for the call to come through. We’ve come a long way baby, now we have to find a way to stop missing the moment. Tweet me if you agree!

Waterfront associations invited to second meeting
COBOCONK - On Sept. 22, 2013 a steering committee made up of waterfront organizations from across the City of Kawartha Lakes met in Coboconk to determine the name, mandate and objectives necessary to represent the needs and concerns of their waterfront membership. Kawartha Waterfront Association was recommended as the name and the purpose is to share collective experience, knowledge and skills that exist in waterfront communities throughout the City of Kawartha Lakes, the city said in a press release. The release added that three main recommendations were agreed upon by the steering committee, including: the new name; a mission statement of “a unified waterfront voice for a better Kawartha Lakes”; and strategic objectives: protect water quantity and quality in the Trent-Severn community; advocate for waterfront interests in city relations; promote compatible land-use planning policies and support the viability of a healthy local economy. These recommendations will be discussed at a meeting scheduled to take place on Oct. 6th at 9 a.m. at the Coboconk Lions Hall, 9 Grandy Rd., Coboconk.

Another Successful Carving Competition
BOBCAYGEON - The 36th annual Kawartha Carving Competition in Bobcaygeon Sept. 14 was again a successful show and attracted competitors from an even wider area in Ontario. According to committee chair Doug Hodgins, 75 carvers from as far away as North Bay, London, Niagara Falls and Belleville submitted entries in a variety of classes. “Certainly one of the highlights of the show was the winner in the Beginner Class,” he said. “Elevenyear-old Caleb Posthumus of Peterborough has been carving for only about six months and he left with a first prize ribbon for his carving of a rooster. I think that youngster has a lot of carving talent in him and we will likely see a lot of his work in the future.” The list of other winners included: Maurice Daoust of Lakefield in the Novice Class, Larry Rankine of Oshawa in Intermediate, Scarborough’s Bill Hamilton who won both the Open Class and Best of Show, Pete Frost of Peterborough who won the $500 Purchase Award and Oshawa’s Bob Solomon who captured the $300 Purchase Award. “Without all of our local sponsors, help from the hosting carving clubs in Buckhorn, Bobcaygeon and Lindsay and, of course, a group of highly talented carvers from across Southern Ontario, we would never have been able to have such a good day,” Hodgins said. Next year’s competition will again be held on the second Saturday in September in the Curling Club in Bobcaygeon.

Christmas with the King
LINDSAY - On Friday, Dec. 6, Canada’s own Tim ‘E’ Hendry stars as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll when he takes the stage in his second Academy Theatre concert appearance. Tim and his band, the dynamic ‘Yes Men’, will be performing not only some of Elvis’s traditional songs but a variety of gospel and seasonal favourites. Tim has garnered an enormous fan base over the past 10 years as a result of his achievements, most notably his crowning as 2013 ‘King of the World’ Elvis Tribute Artist World Champion on Aug. 16 in Memphis, TN and earlier in 2013 as Grand Champion at the Philadelphia Elvis Festival. In 2012 Tim was proclaimed the Grand Champion at the Toronto Elvis Festival following his 2010 Grand Champion win at the prestigious
Collingwood Elvis Festival. Since his tribute debut in 2003, Tim’s portrayal of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll has become one of the most sought after acts in North America. In addition to his outstanding vocal ability, Tim is an accomplished musician, playing both drums and guitar. “Tim has become our Elvis of choice in recent years as we’ve enjoyed following his meteoric rise within the ETA world,” comments Paul Coulter of Springtime Entertainment, the show’s producer. “Tim’s solid ‘first person’ portrayal of Elvis, along with his outstanding presentation skills (voice, gestures, dance moves), are the key elements in maintaining the illusion that the audience is really seeing and hearing Elvis.” Tim’s admiration and respect for Elvis and his music is reflected in every performance.

Health & Wellness How Does Skin Tightening Technology Work?
In the last decade some exciting new technologies have arrived on the market promising to tighten up sagging skin on the face, neck and just about anywhere else on the body. Initially, these treatments were very painful, but in the last few years the technology has improved to the point where they no longer hurt (and now actually feel good!) These treatments work by tightening up and thickening the collagen strands in the skin and connective tissues just below the skin. To best understand this, think of these collagen strands as miniature springs. With time and aging, these “springs” become lax and decrease in size and strength resulting in sagging skin.
28 October 4, 2013 - The Kawartha Promoter
By applying heat in a very controlled way, the skin tightening machines act to tighten up these collagen “springs” and if repeated several times also act to thicken and strengthen them resulting in a tightening of the skin and an improved appearance. This technology results in gradual change with visible initial results and steady improvement for a period of about six months following the treatments.
Dr Peter Ursel has been offering cosmetic treatments for more than 15 years. Consultations are available at 705-328-1747. Get his free cosmetic report “How To Look Younger NOW!” at www.doctorursel.com
Community cares
KAWARTHA LAKES - Residents in the City of Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County currently have the opportunity to give their input towards a new way of delivering health and support services that is being proposed for the two areas. Six local health care organizations, including Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes, are involved in the development of an Integrated Governance and Service Delivery Model. The undertaking has been initiated by the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) so that access to services will be improved, taxpayer dollars will be effectively spent to deliver services, and the agencies involved will be better positioned to respond to future changes and increased demands for services. The Integration Planning Network (which also includes Ross Memorial Hospital and the Victorian Order of Nurses in the City of Kawartha Lakes) has proposed a draft model of service delivery that would see some significant changes in Haliburton. In the City of Kawartha Lakes, our local hospital and Community Care would continue to operate as separate entities but would collaborate in as many ways as possible to achieve efficiencies and improvements in service delivery. Under the proposed draft model, accountability for Adult Day programs provided in Lindsay by the VON would be transferred to Community Care. Public input, comments, questions and suggestions on the draft model are being sought until Oct. 11. The full draft proposal and a short
questionnaire is online at www.community-care. on.ca/whats-new/. People wishing a printed copy of the survey can obtain one at any Community Care office, and return it with their comments prior to Oct. 11. Mike Puffer is Director of Marketing & Development for Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes Health and Support Services. E-mail: mpuffer@community-care.on.ca

Promoting healthy workplaces
KAWARTHA LAKES - If you want to make a healthy workplace part of your business, now is the time to get started. October is Healthy Workplace Month and it is the perfect opportunity for local organizations to make strides to improve the health and well-being of their employees, the Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit said in a press release. Research shows that when organizations create a healthy work environment, they enjoy a better bottom line, higher productivity, less absenteeism and improved staff morale. “Employees also benefit, as they feel like they have more control and say in their work and are better able to balance work-life commitments,” says Lisa van der Vinne, a health promoter with the health unit. In general, workplace health efforts can include practices, policies or activities that make the work environment a better one for employees. “We know that workplace health is alive and well at many organizations in our region, so the purpose of Healthy Workplace Month is for these workplaces to build on their success,” says van der Vinne. “For other businesses thinking about what to do in terms
of workplace health, October is a good time to see how they can get started.” The health unit is promoting the Healthy Workplace Month website (www. healthyworkplacemonth.ca) as a guide for what local organizations can do in October. The website includes ideas, information, resources and weekly activities that can be used throughout the month. This year’s theme for Healthy Workplace Month is ‘Mental Health at Work’ and van der Vinne says it is a timely and topical one in 2013. “Mental health is a very big issue in workplaces. More and more organizations are working to reduce psychological harm for their employees, promote good mental health and support those recovering from mental illness.”

Cyclists raise $7,000 for shelter
FENELON FALLS – Eighty riders braved a steady downpour to benefit charity in the 10th Annual “Kawartha Lakes Classic” Cycling Tour Sept. 21. Participants ranged in age from six to 80, almost half of whom travelled from outside of the City of Kawartha Lakes – some from as far afield as Stratford and Ottawa – to join in the wet fun. A record-breaking total of more than $7,000 was raised for A Place Called Home (APCH), a non-profit
organization in Lindsay providing shelter and support services to the homeless. The day’s top fundraiser was Louise Davison of Kirkfield, who collected more than $1,440 in pledges. Nicole Bryant, APCH’s manager of shelter and outreach services said “The money raised will go to support our core program, the shelter and will directly benefit all of the 350-plus individuals and families that the shelter sees each year. My hat is off to the Kawartha Cycling Club, the numerous volunteers, and all of the riders who participated in this very successful ride.” Tourism development officer Laurie Bell unveiled a new map featuring six road cycling routes throughout the region with a corresponding route signage program announced earlier in June. They can be downloaded from http://explorekawarthalakes. com and will soon be available in printed form.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Try not to analyse every aspect of your life, dear Aries. You sometimes think too much! The answers to your questions will come when you least expect them – but they will come. Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Don’t be afraid to connect on an intimate level, Taurus. Find a safe space and share your thoughts and fears. Be heard by those you trust and who will not judge you. Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Oct. 11 is International Day of the Girl! So why not do something special for all the girls in your life? Celebrate with them! Perhaps the best thing you can do, Gemini, is set a good example of the strength and courage of women everywhere. Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Do you find yourself constantly seeking the approval of others, Cancer? Are you worrying about what you “should” do, rather than what you “want” to do? Identifying what you want will put you in touch with who you are and what you fancy. Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) All good things must come to an end. We know, we know – it’s such a cliché! You want these moments to last forever. We understand! Try not to look to the past, but onward, upward and skyward! Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Here comes the sun! Time to dust off those hiking boots and get out there! We mean this both literally and figuratively, Virgo. Take a good, brisk walk outdoors to brighten your spirits and then try something new – emotionally. Go the extra mile and see what you will find!
mythology. The name Pegasus is derived from the Greek pegai which means “springs” or “waters.” So, dear Libra, we are urging you to “spring” forth at this time – discover something new in yourself, and share it all around! Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) “Mental health is the ability to love, the ability to work, the ability to play, and the ability to use your mind soundly.”: Ashley Montagu. It’s all about balance, Libra. Work, relaxation, hobbies, friends --- they all matter and they all count towards a healthy you! Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) We sense things have settled down for you, Sag, -- everything nice and orderly -- and that’s a good thing! Just don’t get in a rut and let things slide. You’ve worked too hard for too long to let it slip away. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) The places of our childhood have changed so much. The home we grew up in has been torn down. The things we held dear are gone. Time marches on, and so does everpresent “progress”. Change is always hard to accept, dear Capricorn. BUT – you have your memories. All the good times, all the stages on which you acted, have made you who you are today. Nothing will ever change that! Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Waiting to win the lottery? Planning and dreaming about all that money? Why not believe in the infinite possibilities within yourself to make your life fulfilled? Be content with yourself just the way you are. Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Pisces – the leaves are falling and the seeds are scattering. Just like all of nature, you have within you the ability to use the gifts you have been given and pass on the love you have received. Share the wealth!
Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) This is your phase, Libra. The Great Square of the Pegasus constellation dominates the northern sky, first catalogued by the Greek astronomer, Ptolemy,1 in 13-10-01 the 2nd century and Banner-print2.pdf 11:56 AM named after Pegasus, the winged horse in Greek

CHARITY PARKING METER COINS ADD UP
LINDSAY- The Lindsay Downtown Business Improvement Association (LDBIA) recently presented six cheques of $676.06 each to six local charities chosen for the 20122013 charity meter program in downtown Lindsay. Coins collected at the clearly-marked meters between July and July raised a combined $4,506.36 split evenly between: Five Counties Children’s Centre, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kawartha Lakes-Haliburton, Habitat for Humanity City of Kawartha Lakes, Learning Disabilities Association (Lindsay chapter), A Place Called Home and Community Care’s elder abuse prevention network.
The second year of the program began this past July 1 with six new charities: Community Care, Lindsay minor hockey, Kawartha Lakes Food Source school programs, Safe Communities’ helmet and life preserver program, Telecare and Crimestoppers. The charity meters are a joint LDBIA and City of Kawartha Lakes initiative. Meanwhile, the LDBIA also unveiled the reopened parking lots one and eight in downtown Lindsay which have been repaved, feature park and display signs and have new bicycle racks.
Representatives of charities receiving funding from the charity meters were on hand to receive their cheques recently. They included Ed Call, Karen Anderson, Carolyn Fox, Paul Gill, Janna Stewart and Lorrie Polito.

AUXILIARY LADIES MAKE DONATION
BOBCAYGEON - The Ladies Auxiliary of Br. 239 Bobcaygeon Legion recently raised $1,866.70 with a summer raffle. The proceeds were divided equally between the Kawartha North Family Health Clinic and The Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes. Raffle winners were: Kelly Lovell, Tish Peirson, Jen Yuke, I and G Whitney and Lorraine Graham of Bobcaygeon. The Ladies Auxiliary is a small group of volunteers who raise money for the Legion, their community and surrounding areas by holding raffles, dinners, crafts and bake sales. The ladies also participate in zone cribbage, euchre and bid euchre tournaments. They recently won a euchre tournament in Sunderland and now advance to the provincials. In May, 2014, the Ladies Auxiliary will celebrate their 60th anniversary, a milestone in their history. Anyone wishing to join this enterprising group can call 738-1708.
