Off the top In this issue, we discuss the city’s feral cat population and what can be done about it (see page 8). City councillor Donna Villemaire wanted something done as recently as the fall of 2010. The city started off by exploring partnerships with the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes, local vets and other interested community members. That resulted in an ambitious three-tiered plan of: public education, a pilot ‘trap, neuter, release’ program relying on volunteers and subsequent possible widespread implementation. Sadly, though, the city estimated it would cost $100 per cat to do the pilot project so it never got off of the ground. They have followed through with the public education bit, however, and are about to release a ‘feral cats’ pamphlet to libraries, municipal service centres and at vets. It is disappointing, but understandable, that they could not do more. The public has a huge role to play in this as well, though. As the

new pamphlet points out, “feral cats are the wild offspring of domestic cats that are primarily the result of pet owners’ abandonment, failure to confine or failure to spay or neuter their animals, allowing them to breed uncontrolled.” In addition, seemingly kindhearted people who feed groups of unaltered feral cats without having them spayed or neutered allow the colony to continue to grow and compound the problem. A female cat can have up to 18 kittens a year. If even half survive, they can produce their own litters within a year. One cat can produce thousands of offspring within a five-year-period. There is a risk of disease, such as rabies, to other animals and humans. So, let’s start with this. If you have pet cats that you let out, have them spayed or neutered. We encourage local vets to make this more viable with low-cost spaying or neutering clinics, as they do for rabies shots, or consider an acrossthe-board lowering of fees. If you are feeding a feral cat or colony, there is no doubt that your heart is in the right place, but please consider the repercussions. editor@thepromoter.ca

Total Life Care says goodbye

Dr. Muriel Grant Chiropractor and Naturopath has been a fixture in our community for many years. Her articles have appeared in the Promoter since the beginning, supplying us with invaluable healthcare information and alternative methods of treatment. She offered patients focused individual attention. Appointments could take more than an hour, but that didn’t matter as long as she was helping people feel better and get well. Her treatment of my mother Rose Anne Kulmala throughout her battle with cancer was nothing short of amazing. I credit

Our Local ROYAL CANADIAN

Legion News “At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”

Dr. Grant with the successful treatment of my back injury several years ago. Without her treatment I would still be in pain and unable to accomplish simple daily tasks. I also know there are many others with similar stories. Last month Dr. Grant suffered a health setback of her own. A stroke has forced her to close the office in Bobcaygeon after 36 years. In her 80s this miraculous woman was still running two practices, making house calls and traveling to Cuba to help those less fortunate. She gives freely, her knowledge, her skill and her compassion to anyone who comes to her. Dr. Grant is at home in Toronto and although phone calls are difficult at present I am certain she would enjoy hearing from her Bobcaygeon friends and patients through cards or letters and prayers are always welcome.

Help OMB appeal

Thank you for informing everyone of the upcoming Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) pretrial zoning appeal and official plan appeal against the Dewdney Mountains Farm quarry application on Dec. 5 at 11 a.m. at Trent Lakes Municipal Building. Help is needed in many ways in order to make a proper presentation at the OMB. Facts have to be presented to the OMB from experts in response to the Dewdney Mountain Farms expert reports. Our water, land, roads and air must be protected. These reports cost money and also the authors of those reports must be paid to attend the OMB to substantiate their reports. Please lend your moral support by attending this pretrial hearing and consider making a contribution at the “Stop the Quarry” bank account at the Bank of Montreal in Bobcaygeon. As one paddles the “lake” at the provincial sanctuary here on Nogies Creek and watches the beaver swim under the canoes, there is a sadness that they may disappear. Sadness that the peace

and quiet will be gone. Sadness that 180 metres from the provincially significant wetland is out of the research assessment area by a mere 60 metres. This mega quarry will in some way affect all of us. Our water, land, roads and air must be protected. This beautiful place we have in our backyard will be lost forever if we don’t stand up and fight for it. Ruth Pillsworth Quarry Committee

School bus issue

The safety of our children getting to school is obviously not a priority. It’s about budgeting and decreasing mileage, that’s the picture I am getting. My children’s bus stop has now changed this year so that the bus can now cut off the 1.7 km drive up our road. Despite numerous safety concerns, the Trillium Lakelands District School Board has refused to change this back to the original route. They are very aware of the following issues: • There is no speed limit sign on our road. Trucks and cars speed up the road, in fact our family dog was struck by a vehicle on the road. • The road is not paved. There are no sidewalks and each side of the road is a deep ditch, mostly filled with water in the fall and winter months. For a four-year-old attending kindergarten, if she was forced off the road there is a potential for drowning or hypothermia in the cold winter months. • There is a blind hill and you cannot see pedestrians unless you are immediately on top of the hill.

• My three (soon to be four) children are expected to wait at the highway of County Road 8 with vehicles going at highway speed. Not only that, it is the only straight stretch of highway on that road so most of the passing occurs at that time. • The bus driver is now turning down Stinsen’s Bay Road to drop/pick up another child (whose mother successfully changed the route) so my kids are waved across the highway while the bus

Urban Transit Association (CUTA). It is based on a number of factors including ridership, population and achieving a baseline level of expenditures However, the city was allowed to amend its previous submission for 2012 and will receive full funding for 2014. In 2011, if the baseline expenditure level had been met, the city would have received $653,101 in grant given the ridership figures and the population factor. However because the baseline was not met, the city only received a portion of the eligible grant or $428,489 a shortfall of $224,612. The task force made a formal request to CUTA to amend the 2011 figures submitted but to no avail. The questions I have are the following: 1. Why is it necessary to form a task force to discover what should be a set process since these grants were established in 2003. It seems to me that someone in staff should be responsible for something as important as a government tax rebate program. 2. The city needs to address the issue of Community Care not providing the necessary background information regarding their ridership for the submission.

Council approved the request with the proviso that all applications received thus far be honoured. Bobcaygeon C.H.E.S.T Fund On Oct. 25, I said Don Johnson joined the committee.

Feral cat problem continues

By Lisa Gervais

KAWARTHA LAKES – Bobcaygeon’s Tara Taylor recently underwent a series of rabies shots after being bitten by a feral cat at her home –renewing calls for somebody to do something about the feral cat situation in the City of Kawartha Lakes. Taylor estimates that there are between 30 and 40 feral cats within a couple of house radius of her home as some of her neighbours provide makeshift shelter and feed them. She said a kitten came up on her porch recently and when she went to pat it, it bit her. She said she went for a tetanus shot because the bite drew blood and was advised to get rabies shots, which were “not nice.” She said she is worried for herself and her young son since she believes that the majority of the cats are ill, particularly with upper respiratory disease and “I just don’t want to watch them (the cats) suffer anymore.” “It’s quite a problem. It is bothersome to most of the neighbours in the area as it is getting so out of control.” There are an estimated 25,000 feral cats in the City of Kawartha Lakes. Ward 8 Coun. Donna Villemaire raised the city’s feral cat problem at council back in the fall of 2010. It resulted in the striking of a stray cat task force which has only just now completed its work with the pending release of a ‘feral cats’ public education pamphlet to be available at libraries, service centres and veterinarians in the city. It is much-watered down from the proposed initial three-tier program of: education, a ‘trap, neuter, return’ pilot project in a designated area and full implementation of that project if successful. The plan had been to involve volunteers live-trapping the cats, which would then be spayed or neutered and released. Manager of city municipal law enforcement

Gord Garfield told The Kawartha Promoter that the task force opted for the ‘feral cats’ pamphlet instead since “we found that it would cost approximately $100 per cat to trap-neuter-release. With the number of stray cats, this is cost prohibitive for the city.” Wendy Morgenroth-Clarke said she recently took a drive with Bobcaygeon’s “The Catman”, who feeds and waters ferals in a colony near a senior citizens’ building and “the cats swarmed from all corners when we drove in. He’s been doing it for so long they recognize the sound of his car. I haven’t seen anything like it. “ She doesn’t know the answer but thinks it would be good if the ferals could be live trapped, spayed or neutered and re-released and that owners of domesticated cats also get their pets spayed or neutered. She said animal shelters would have to “step up” but complemented the work of the Lakefield Animal Welfare Society, which provides low-cost spaying/neutering and shots for stray cats that people are adopting. Executive-director of the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes, Henny Venus, thinks more can be done to address the issue. “To do so effectively, the humane society, municipality, veterinarians and the general public have to come together and contribute in various ways. Education is key and we are currently investigating strategies and options applied in other jurisdictions that have proven successful in addressing this matter. Public education, affordable spay and neuter programs and the enacting of a bylaw on the feral cats are key components. “The humane society has very limited funding, provided only by donations and therefore has limited capacity and funds to house and spay and neuter cats, including feral cats. We will be seeking collaborative partnerships with the above groups over the coming years to help address this longstanding challenge.”

Festival of Trees underway

BOBCAYGEON – Kawartha Settlers’ Village Festival of Trees is underway until Sunday (Nov. 17) with a full slate of activities guaranteed to put everyone – including the Grinch – into the Christmas spirit. This year marks the 16th anniversary of the event which has grown in popularity each year of its existence. KSV board president Al Ingram said up to 35,000 people are expected to visit the village over the four days. Every year, Bobcaygeon and area businesses generously donate traditional Christmas trees, wall trees, wreaths and garlands that are then sold to raise funds for the village. It is KSV’s biggest annual fundraiser but Ingram said it has become more of a community event than a Settlers’ Village event. More than 200 items will be on display and Lynn Webb and her team of volunteers have again done a wonderful decorating job in the Murphy

They crammed the cruiser three times

BOBCAYGEON – On Saturday, Nov.9, auxiliary officers from the City of Kawartha Lakes detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) teamed up with Valu Mart in Bobcaygeon with the hopes of supporting the local food bank. Auxiliary officers were in attendance from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. to receive food donations from the public. Over the course of the event the cruiser was “crammed” three times for a total of approximately 1400 lbs. of food that will help to support over 400 adults and children in the Bobcaygeon area. Auxiliary Sgt. Gregg Weatherill was amazed by the generosity and stated “the support was incredible and will certainly go a long way to making this holiday season a good one for so many families”.

Wind update planned

PONTYPOOL – Ward 16 Coun. Heather Stauble will host a town hall meeting Nov. 27 between 7 and 10 p.m. at Manvers Arena, Hwys 7 and 35, to provide an update on proposed wind projects for her area. It comes on the heels of a public meeting for the proposed Stoneboat Wind project, originally scheduled for Nov. 5, being postponed. On Nov. 4, MPP Laurie Scott said she organized a meeting between representatives of the Cham Shan Temple, deputy mayor of Cavan-Monaghan, Scott McFadden, Stauble and members of various ministries including Minster of Energy Bob Chiarelli. The temple is close to the proposed Stoneboat wind farm. Scott said Diane Chen, property manager for the temple and her team delivered a “wonderful” presentation that included many of the economic benefits that the temple would bring to the community. She said it was thorough, and generated positive reactions from all sides of the table. However, Scott said that when the municipal representatives presented hard-hitting questions about their municipalities’ concerns over the wind farms “the discussion led to inadequate responses from the various government

representatives” and the Liberal government continues to force industrial wind turbines on unwilling communities. They should give full planning authority back to the municipalities.”

Flood report released

MINDEN: Local MP Barry Devolin has likened conditions that led to last April and May’s flooding of the Gull River sub-watershed to a “100-vehicle crash on the Don Valley Expressway at the height of rush hour.” Commenting on the release of a third-party review of Parks Canada’s actions during the 2013 Gull River flooding, Devolin said the report found conditions were relatively normal along the system with a lighter than usual snowpack. However, on April 18 and 19, the single largest 48-hour rain event in more than 50 years occurred with little to no warning. He said the report states the rain and melting snow added 84 to 115mm of water. “That combination created the worst possible conditions at the worst possible time. It would be like a 100-vehicle crash on the Don Valley Expressway at the height of rush hour.” He said the dams at Gull Lake and Moore Lake were wide open as the annual drawdown was already occurring on the TSW. Devolin said one item highlighted in the report is that communication channels between dam owners/ operators and levels of government are not clearly defined by law. Devolin said, “I plan on working with

my counterparts at the provincial and municipal levels to improve coordination and communications during cases of future incidents that put public safety at risk.” Meanwhile, Parks Canada said in a press release that its staff “performed their job to the best of their abilities and their actions” helped to avoid further flooding in downstream communities.

Allan Stanley farewelled

By Lisa Gervais

FENELON FALLS- Leafs’ legend Dick Duff said he was sure Allan Stanley was having a good time with departed former Leafs’ Tim Horton and Bill Barilko during Mr. Stanley’s Mass of Christian Burial in Fenelon Falls Nov. 9. Mr. Stanley, who passed away at Specialty Care Case Manor in Bobcaygeon Oct. 18, was farewelled by hockey’s elite as well as family and friends during a service and luncheon. One attendee wore a Leafs’ jersey and another wore team memorabilia. The Toronto Maple Leafs sent a large photo of Mr. Stanley during a Stanley Cup celebration that greeted people into St. Aloysius Roman Catholic Church and the adjacent hall also held treasurers from the great hockey player’s life. Duff said Mr. Stanley was a great National Hockey League player and Toronto Maple Leaf who respected the league and its players. He recalled the cup win of 1962 and how he was a young player who had never won a cup while Mr. Stanley was a veteran NHL-er . However, he will never forget Mr. Stanley’s excitement over the win. He talked about the blue line partnership of Horton and Mr. Stanley and how they were great friends off the ice as well. He said Mr. Stanley provided direction and guidance to the young Leafs, was never in a bad mood and fitted in with everyone.

Mr. Stanley’s nephew, Bob Gallagher talked of a generous uncle who, among other things, once game him tickets to a Stanley Cup winning game. He thanked Case Manor for taking good care of his uncle. He also paid tribute to the people of Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls – a community Mr. Stanley retired to after hockey, running the Bee Hive Hockey Complex with his wife Barbara, for many years along with a handful of other businesses. He said the Stanleys had “exceptional friends” in the towns. Near the end of the service he concluded: “We are so fortunate to have shared in his life.”

The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Air Canada Centre sent over this image of Allan Stanley celebrating a cup win in the 1960s. Photo courtesy of the Toronto Maple Leafs and ACC.

Community Cares

We’re a little dismayed at some negative reaction to Governor General David Johnston’s recent launch of a campaign aimed at encouraging Canadians to volunteer and find their “giving moment.” The initiative aims to inspire Canadians of all ages to give back to their community, in whatever ways they choose. The Giving Moment program is a three-year initiative that the Governor General hopes will let more people in this country discover what he calls “the giving instinct.” The definition of that is open for interpretation - it can be the desire to give financially to worthy causes, or it can be contributing time and talent in order to help. Many contrary remarks were made by online readers, who were insulted because they already “give” through significantly high taxation rates, and now they are being told they should contribute even more. They’re being asked to do so because help is The Kawartha Promoter’s very own James Goodliff is indeed needed. taking part in Spitting Images’ Movember fundraiser.

Stay healthy this flu season

KAWARTHA LAKES - The transition from summer to winter signals the start of flu season. In order to help reduce the spread of the flu, St. John Ambulance encourages people to practice the following good health habits. •G et a flu shot - If you can, get a flu vaccination. It is safe and the most effective way to protect you and your family from the flu.

• Stay home when you are sick - If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness. • Avoid close contact - Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too. • Cover your mouth and nose – Use a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hand. It may prevent those around you from getting sick. • Clean your hands - Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. Washing your hands for at least 20 seconds is best. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth - Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth. • Practice other good health habits - Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, primarily when someone is ill. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.

Adoption awareness month

It is adoption awareness month at the Children’s Aid Society. At Kawartha-Haliburton CAS, 22 adoptions were finalized in 2012-13 (including children and youth from KHCAS and other societies). “Our hope is that by raising awareness through the month of November at least one more child will be matched with a caring and supportive family who will be there for them always”, said Ricarda Renner, regional adoption manager for KHCAS. Adoptive families receive support and training which includes a standardized provincial training program (PRIDE) and a standardized provincial home study process (SAFE). In June of last year, the Ontario government also announced subsidies for families who adopt, or become legal custodians to sibling groups and/or youth aged 10 or older. Families must qualify based on income. If you are interested in learning if adoption is right for you, contact the Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Aid Society.

CPR Awareness month

KAWARTHA LAKES - In recognition of CPR Awareness Month, St. John Ambulance encourages you to be prepared to save a life and learn CPR. If someone goes into cardiac arrest, every minute that passes without medical assistance reduces that person’s survival by up to 10%. In fact, the heart Doran Hayes

Early administration of CPR and AED (automatic external defibrillation) significantly improves the odds of a casualty surviving to the hospital. CPR works by providing two basic life support skills – artificial respiration: providing oxygen to the lungs, and artificial circulation: causing blood to flow to the brain and organs. But CPR alone is not enough to save a life, the “Chain of SurvivalTM,” highlighted below are important steps to ensuring survival. • Immediate recognition – this means calling for medical help quickly • Early CPR – with an emphasis on chest compressions

2 EssEntial ingrEdiEnts nEEdEd For PErmananEnt WEight loss There are many effective weight loss systems on the market, however there are 2 essential ingredients that you absolutely must have to succeed and they are both dependent on each other.First, no matter what method you decide to use, you must absolutely have 100 percent conviction and make the decision that you are going to succeed with the program - no matter what. You must decide beforehand that you are not just going to try the method, but that you are ﬁrmly committed to making it work. Losing weight quickly and permanently is something that is going to require will and determination as youabsolutely must make permanent changes in your eating and lifestyle habits. Habit change can be extremely difﬁcult and experts say that habit change can take at least 21 days. This brings us to the second ingredient that will insure your success. You are far more likely to succeed in a weight loss program if you have coaching, support and medical supervision. Having this medical support system in place provides both the safe guidance and the coaching that dramatically increase your chances of success, both in rapidly losing weight and then transitioning into lifelong habit change - the real key to long term success!

Diabetes month

LINDSAY - November is Diabetes Month. Diabetes is a challenging disease that affects millions of Canadians. According to the Canadian Diabetes Association, there are more than nine million Canadians currently living with diabetes or prediabetes, and more than 20 people being newly diagnosed with the disease every hour. With so many people living with the disease it’s important to know what to do if someone is having a diabetic emergency. There are two types of crises that diabetics could have, both of which can result in a coma if no action is taken - hyperglycaemia (too much sugar, not enough insulin) and the other hypoglycaemia (not enough sugar, too much insulin). Signs and symptoms (not all may be present): • extreme tiredness and loss of concentration • a bdominal pain nausea or vomiting •d izziness and loss of coordination • e rratic or argumentative behaviour • r apid loss of consciousness if not treated promptly UP • persistent headache TO • pale or sweaty skin , • may seem drunk ON A PAIR OF ON A PAIR OF TOP QUALITY The aim of first aid in a TOP QUALITY DIGITAL HEARING AIDS diabetic emergency is to keep the HEARING AIDS Anne Marie Sinasac-Roy Denyse Rowe Plus ComeRegistered SeeAudiologist Our Other Offers...

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO OUR PATIENTS Dear Patients: We’re writing with news that Dr. David McLaren has elected for personal reasons to depart the Kawartha North Family Health Team effective April 1, 2014. While we are disappointed to see him leave, his decision was reached amicably and we wish him well. Meantime, we want to allay concerns and reassure all of Dr. McLaren’s patients that they will continue to receive care. We are already working on a transition plan with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to try and secure at least one new practitioner by April 1, 2014. Regardless, let us reiterate with absolute clarity that no patients of Dr. McLaren will be left without a family healthcare provider today or in the future. In fact, while the news of Dr. McLaren’s departure presents a curve in the road, we are more enthusiastic than ever about our vision for the future. The Kawartha North Family Health Team is embarked on a number of exciting soon-to-be-announced initiatives that will bring a stable yet highly innovative program of care to our patients and the community at large. One of these is the expansion of our walk-in clinic to Fenelon Falls beginning in late November. Just like our walk-in services in Bobcaygeon on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 100 East St. S., the Fenelon Falls clinic will be open to anyone regardless of whether they are a resident or guest to our community. You do not have to be a patient of the Kawartha North Family Health Team to use our walk-in services. Our goal always is to keep you informed. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this development with Dr. McLaren or about our innovative plans for the future – including the expansion of our walk-in clinic services – please feel free to get in touch with our executive director, Marina Hodson: Bobcaygeon: Fenelon Falls: E-mail:

I am now near eighty two and waiting to join “all of you.” Long days and nights you bore great pain, to wait for cure, but all in vain ‘Till God above saw what was best, and took you home with him to rest.
