T h e election is over now for us at The Promoter. With this issue we conclude our candidate profiles and other coverage of election shenanigans (sigh of relief). When our next issue comes out, it will be “all over but the shouting,” as my father liked to say. Just the results, ma’am. Generally, I have been impressed and even delighted by the number of candidates—and by the passion and commitment they are displaying. It has been a challenge getting out to as many of the elections activities as we can—and more importantly, trying to sort the salient information from the electioneering. Being human, we’re all too aware of how often we’ve fallen short on those challenges. But the real challenge now, is over to you. How do you separate the sheep from the goats in this horse race, and make good voting choices? Here, for what it’s worth to you, is
how I go about it: 1) I read as much of the candidates’ literature as I can, as well as articles about them, and get out to meetings to see them in action. 2) I think about what I value, myself, especially in relation to people, the environment, the economy, and running a municipality. Then I identify the candidates who come closest to sharing my own outlook. 3) Next I do an all-important gut check. Which of these possible candidates do I feel I can trust? Which of these candidates do I actually believe? 4) Finally, which ones seem to care about more than just themselves and their families? Which ones do I believe have the real health of the community at heart? That’s all. Whoever comes closest to meeting those criteria gets my vote. Maybe we can honour our candidates by improving on the last municipal election’s sad, 44-percent voter turnout. But most important, of course, is just to do it, just vote. editor@thepromoter.ca

Matthews only Trent Lakes incumbent to vote against quarry
This week’s “From My Perch” column about Murray Whetung was a wonderful tribute to him. I met him during the promotion of the Land Between with Leora Berman, and he is an interesting fellow from whom we could all learn a lot. I also work for KNFHT, so enjoyed the cover page of our incoming “doc.” The Promoter’s coverage of local news is paramount as the area of Trent Lakes and Bobcaygeon really use it to get the most accurate news of our areas. I was at the all candidates meeting in Buckhorn and wanted to comment on your article “Why didn’t TL Council even try to stop quarry” (Oct. 3, page 17). Bev Matthews is the only one of the “old” council that actually voted in favour of the appellants (against the other four), and has said many times that she does not feel the place for a quarry is in the midst of a residential area. She also has said many times that the council is
the place for the local people to voice their objections and opinions, and it is the council’s job to take those concerns to the province. Janet Clarkson and Ron Windover did re-iterate that they felt it was beyond the powers of municipal councils to stop quarries. In fact Janet said the province has said “we must have quarries,” which is not true. However, Bev has never shared those same ideas. Janet has said basically that she will never say no to a quarry application. I did not come away feeling that the three agreed on several questions. However , I did feel that Clarkson and Windover were of the same mind especially in the area of quarries which is a major election topic this time around. Hence, my support of Mrs. Matthews. No matter what the OMB decides, the Dewdney Mountain Application will absolutely not be the last and we can’t have another council that passes these applications blindly.
Janet Klein Trent Lakes
Please review your notes: Bev Matthews voted against the quarry I am somewhat concerned with your editorial this past week. I am obviously supportive of an informative observation, but I am reluctant to say we heard the same thing. I believe Bev Matthews did set herself apart from the other incumbents, and I wonder how our

perception could be so different. Bev was the only person in the current council that voted NO on both the zoning by-law and Official Plan amendment application for Dewdney Mountain Farms. We have been hard pressed for support, so to amalgamate her with the others seems very disrespectful if we don’t speak to this issue. I hope you can understand our perception. That is not to say that we are not cautious going forward. As all council knows it takes five to make a decision and three to pass it. It has been a very informative process for all involved, but we will not be walking away after the election. Our support of our new council will be ongoing, and I just hope we could possibly give credit where credit is due on this issue. Please consider reviewing your notes as I feel that there is one incumbent that may actually deserve our vote, and support going forward to become a better municipality and a better neighbour to the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Stand up for growth balanced with quality of life
First, let me thank you and the Promoter for being the one media source for news about our region. We would be lost without the Promoter. I would like to add a somewhat different take on the Sept 22 candidates meeting. Yes the topic of quarries and mining did consume the questions, the candidates and the audience. For those who left the meeting whispering, “who cares about quarries and mining,” I feel sorry. They are real issues that impact everyone and from my perspective leave us the citizens with no reward. A scarred landscape deserted by those who cleared the forests and dug a deep hole is not a reward we deserve. My conclusion from everything I heard was that the voters can re-elect those who simply say they can do nothing to control, cajole or get concessions from aggregate developers (our current mayor and deputy mayor) or they can vote in those who voted against the mega quarry (Bev Matthews) and the new councillors and deputy mayor who truly see we can do something. As other town councils across Ontario take tougher and tougher stands against uncontrolled
development of aggregate and the ruining of a way of life without any financial or environmental reward, we cannot be seen as the easy patsy open for anything and everything developers throw at us. Lets take down our sign that says “aggregate welcome without resistance” and put up one that says we want to partner with developers that share a vision of reasonableness. We have a choice of capitulating to aggregate demands, as Janet appears to endorse, or standing up and reaping rewards and safe guards that balance growth with a way of life. Ross Morton Trent Lakes
Article helped make connections
On behalf of the residents of Matchett and Gee Crescents, the homeowners affected by underground water in their new homes, we would like to thank you for publishing your article about our problem following the Sept. 9 City of Kawartha Lakes Council meeting. Already following the publication of this story in The Kawartha Promoter we have been contacted by one more person able to provide us with additional information helpful in our quest of getting the problem solved.

City Hall TL damned if they do, damned if they don’t
By Charise Arscott
Trent Lakes once again finds itself between the devil and the deep blue sea over aggregates and development. Do (or can) they allow development of a proposed subdivision and golf course north of Flynn’s Corner, or must they save the area for aggregate development? A report on the proposed subdivision, by engineering and planning consultants Skelton Brumwell & Associates, recommends the planning application be denied as most of the proposed development lies atop a shelf of limestone west of Cty. Rd. 507. The report points out that one of the objectives of Trent Lakes’ Municipal Official Plan, see Sec. 4.7(ii), is to “ensure that new development does not jeopardize the commercial development of an existing natural resource, including mineral aggregate deposits and woodlands.” This also reflects the intentions of Ontario’s Aggregates Act and Section 2.5 of the Provincial Policy Statement on aggregates. That section is also repeated in both Peterborough County’s and Trent Lakes’ official plans. TL Council’s conundrum is whether to allow

To fix a bridge or not, that is the question
By Charise Arscott
A closed bridge on Dutch Line Road north of Kinmount has raised a number of concerns for nearby residents. TL chief administrative officer Lois O’NeillJackson reported to council that emergency services now must be rerouted by several kilometres to access properties east of the closed bridge. The resulting delay not only could endanger lives, but winter conditions often make a hill on Queens Line Road, now the only route in, dangerous if not unnavigable. Further, schoolchildren now must walk three or more kilometres to catch their school bus, which could be dangerous as winter daylight hours become shorter. Council deferred any decision regarding this matter, as the bridge is Peterborough County’s responsibility. The county has not yet officially decided upon the bridge’s fate.

Trent Lakes SEEKS TO become ‘age friendly’
By Charise Arscott
The Municipality of Trent Lakes has received a grant of $175,400 over three years from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The grant, announced on Oct. 2 at the Buckhorn Community Centre, will be used to develop an Age-Friendly Plan (AFP) for the County and City of Peterborough. Trent Lakes was awarded the grant as the lead entity in the initiative. The grant money will be used to pay for the services of Sarah Cullingham, recently hired as the project’s co-ordinator, and the research and consultation required to set up the plan. Cullingham will develop the AFP in concert with various agencies in the county and under the direction of the Peterborough Council on Aging. The goal of the AFP is to help Peterborough region identify where and how it can become more age-friendly. The research will address such topics as housing, transportation, community support and health services, among others. Area residents can offer input into the AFP on the website: www.peterboroughcouncilonaging.ca.
‘Leave my husband out of it,’ says Mayor Clarkson
Trent Lakes Mayor Janet Clarkson stood up in the municipal council chambers on Oct. 7 to refute some family rumours. An acquaintance had heard someone say that Clarkson’s husband, Pete, owns the company that built the outdoor rink recently erected by the Buckhorn Community Centre, and that he was skimming money from the rink. Clarkson told council her husband is retired and merely a volunteer who helps out with rink maintenance. Use of the rink is free and the facility’s $450,000 cost has been fully paid off with donations generated by local volunteers. “My husband has never taken a penny from that rink,” Clarkson said. “People can say what they want about me, but leave my husband out of it.”

ELECTION
Passion and commitment at Caygeon all-candidates meeting By Lorraine Land
From roads to quarries, from municipal debt to provincial downloading, the all-candidates forum in Bobcaygeon Oct. 8 covered a wide range of issues. And Bobcaygeon residents and mayoral and council candidates turned up the heat with emotional discussion about the relationship between the community and city hall. More than 250 Bobcaygeon residents, brimming with enthusiasm, turned out for the event sponsored by the local chamber of commerce and the Promoter. As moderator for the event, I was struck by how well-prepared the candidates were, and by the passion displayed by local residents eager to discuss the municipal issues that touch their everyday lives. Here’s my impression of the key issues that sparked the most spirited debate. Perhaps not surprisingly, roads and snow removal were popular topics raised by residents. And all the candidates made repeated references to other Bobcaygeon hot button issues like aggregate haul routes and economic development. Last year’s controversial city decision to deny a permit to a local chip truck also sparked some heat. Bobcaygeon residents asked piercing questions, probing the mayoral and council candidates about economic development plans for the city and for Bobcaygeon specifically. This elicited a flurry of ideas from the candidates, ranging from encouraging more seniors to retire in the region to attracting innovative businesses, to changing how Bobcaygeon promotes itself for tourism. The perceived culture of secrecy and elitism at city hall evoked a wellspring of emotion and resentment. Residents, prospective and incumbent council members, and even a city employee who lives in Bobcaygeon shared stories of not being allowed to speak out on issues (or, in the case of city employees, even to talk to local residents and council members). Mayoral and council candidates unanimously acknowledged a serious problem in the current culture at city hall, and pledged to take strong and
immediate steps to create a more open environment and better communication. While not at top of mind for Bobcaygeon residents posing questions, most of the mayoral candidates (particularly those currently on council) raised the enormous pressures that provincial and federal government downloading of programs like social services and roads—without corresponding financial resources—put on the municipal budget. In the end, the election forum was all about community. Local residents showed up in force, and posed challenging questions that showed a deep love for Bobcaygeon and concern for its future. The candidates came well prepared, showing the time and effort they are taking to run for office and their concerns to create a healthier and more vibrant CKL. And the emotional and heated discussions about the need for better communication and a better relationship between city hall and Bobcaygeon residents, along with passionate pleas to stop the current culture of secrecy and stifling of discussion, showed everyone’s desire to build better municipal relationships from the ground up.
NPLRA backs Matthews for mayor: ‘We don’t want to be pillaged’
The North Pigeon Lake Ratepayers Association (NPLRA) is endorsing Bev Matthews for mayor in the municipal election for Trent Lakes. Matthews, a 20-year veteran of the council now running for mayor, “was the lone vote in council against the zoning change to accommodate a mega quarry,” says the NPLRA in a statement to its members and the public. Responding to a survey of candidates, the association says, “Matthews indicated that ‘there are times when citizens need to be listened to and when council needs to make a stand’.” The ratepayers group argues that “this election is the most significant in our township history.” Nothing comes close to the threat of quarry and mining development, it says. It says incumbent council members—with the exception of Matthews—were either complicit

in the quarry proposal, totally overwhelmed and uninformed, or simply “rolled over” when the developer threatened to appeal to the OMB. The NPLRA, Trent Lakes municipality, and many other local residents (including in Bobcaygeon and adjacent parts of the CKL) are awaiting OMB Chair Colin Hefferon’s decision on an appeal by local homeowners against the proposed Dewdney Mountain Farms Quarry. The proposed quarry, given the go-ahead by council, would be “adjacent to an established neighbourhood, the very sensitive Nogies Creek and the historic fish sanctuary,” says the ratepayers association. At full capacity, it would be three times as large as all other quarries in the municipality

combined, and would put many more trucks on local roads. The NRPLA statement adds that “there are several other quarry applications ostensibly awaiting this OMB decision and the next Trent Lakes Council. Also waiting in the wings is the Valterra Bobcaygeon Project proposal, which could end up as one of the largest graphite mines in the world with a graphite seam that extends 190 square kilometers from Bass Lake, through Crystal Lake to Salerno Creek in our township.” Without strong citizen and township opposition, says the association, Trent Lakes “could become the aggregate and graphite capital of Ontario. Should our council and mayor meekly kowtow to big business when other municipalities resist we truly will be pillaged.” The NPLRA also questioned candidates on OPP policing, the Trent-Severn Waterway, flooding, handicapped parking, and citizen committees. But the quarry issue was clearly considered most important. Based on their responses, the association also endorsed Rick Aube for deputy mayor, Dick Persson (already acclaimed) as councillor-at-large, Terry Lambshead as councillor for Galway-Cavendish Ward, and Peter Raymond (also acclaimed) for Harvey Ward.

Bill Denby: The man who already would be king He has called himself “Kawartha’s most wanted” (a reference to several run-ins with police, including an Oct. 11 arrest for breaching a court order and landlord-tenant issues), “Mayor-elect Bill” and even “Mayor Bill”—and he has stirred up controversy throughout this election with his confrontational, over-the-top approach. But at Bobcaygeon’s Oct. 8 all-candidates meeting, Denby kept that aspect of his personality largely in check, and projected a surprising air of reasonableness, later telling the Promoter he’s convinced he has the election wrapped up. Denby is a local businessman and landlord, with no previous municipal government experience, who says he’s out to break up corruption and Lindsay’s “old-boys club”, and open the city up for business—including canning unnamed senior city staff. He also promises to promote development outside of Lindsay, develop year-round tourism with a casino and a theme park, and get rid of the deficit. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Peter Raymond , your acclaimed councillor for Harvey Ward, municipality of TRENT Lakes Community minded, Positive Attitude Passion & commitment to serve our Township Work in a cooperative & collaborative manner Working with you and for you

He will also dismantle the Lindsay police force and contract with the Ontario Provincial Police throughout the municipality. He will donate 30 percent of his mayor’s salary to local charities that help children and families in need. Denby claims to have a “team” of candidates as running mates, one in each ward, and after declining to name them for many weeks, recently posted a list of supporters or others with whom he says he shares a common agenda. The Promoter won’t name them as the list keeps changing, but at press time you could find it on his Facebook page. We do know Denby posted Ward 7 candidate Steve Clarke’s name there, and responded quite impolitely when Clarke asked him by email to remove it. Brenda Karagiannis: an advocate for the city “My gift is advocacy,” says Brenda Karagiannis, who started a successful family taxi business in Lindsay nearly two decades ago with one car and driver. “My husband and I created it from a thought,” she says. Now Trinity Taxi has 30 cars and 60 drivers, and the family runs three other businesses. Karagiannis boasts of her active involvement with the Conservative Party locally, as well as with several chambers of commerce, business development associations and tourism associations within the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Those connections, she says, mean she can work more broadly across the province and stand up to an “Ontario government that forces everything down our throats”—a reference to aggregate development, and wind and solar farms. In person, she certainly comes across as a passionate advocate and booster for the region. As mayor, she says, “I will sell Kawartha Lakes, and get Kawartha Lakes working again” by focusing on economic development, a healthy, family friendly quality of life, affordable housing, good public spaces and programs, fiscal accountability for the city, and tourism as a primary economic driver. The one thing she does lack is previous experience on council. But she says council experience “is highly over rated when you look at the lacklustre performance of the past two councils. Leadership starts in the front office with the boss and we need extremely strong leadership and advocacy now, not four or five years from now. I have never under performed and I am not going to start now.” Andy Letham: Bringing positive energy from the top down Mayoral candidate Andy Letham doesn’t name names when he says that “positive energy at city hall starts at the top and filters down.” But he is clear that morale and productivity are sorely lacking in both council and staff right now, and he promises to change that with “positive leadership, positive energy and positive vision.” “I won’t come in with the attitude that I am the smartest person in the room,” pledges Letham, who has previously served a four-year term on council, has run a successful textile business and for the last seven years has served as general manager of the Lindsay Agricultural Society. He has also twice lost elections to current Mayor Ric McGee, who is now moving on to a municipal staff position in Deep River, Ontario. Letham promises a positive work environment, “where good employees can flourish and bring their ideas forward.” His 100-day plan if elected, includes meeting with and listening to city employees in all the CKL communities, and building an operating strategy “from the ground up.” He will also focus on water quality and

environmental innovation, involve local people in community planning, change the city’s negative reputation as difficult for developers, develop the downtowns, foster arts and culture, and guarantee a town-hall meeting with the mayor every year in every ward. A first challenge for Letham might be to create a more positive environment between himself and fellow mayoral candidate Bill Denby, against whom he has a court order barring him from the Lindsay Fairgrounds property. Or maybe he just has to beat Denby in the election. John Macklem: Part of history who seeks to be the future If there’s one thing John Macklem brings to his candidacy for CKL mayor, it’s many years of solid experience. A certified general accountant who has worked in both the oil and gas, and mining sectors, Macklem is currently finishing his first term as CKL ward 1 councillor. Back in the day, he served as reeve of the former United Townships of Laxton, Digby and Longford, and two years as Victoria County warden. The city is running a $100 million long-term debt that just keeps growing, he warns, and if it doesn’t learn to live within its resources and budget, the province could well decide to shut the municipal council down and put in a manager. Macklem says he would use his experience

and financial expertise: to “screw down spending,” “clean house,” and “maximize services and minimize taxes.” Taxation based on market-value assessment has made many people unhappy, he argues, because “municipal taxes no longer reflect service levels, only property values.” “Tourism is our capture point” for economic growth, says Macklem. He promises to make the province pay for the provincial roads it has downloaded onto the muncipalities—if they want to use them to get aggregates to market—and to cut a new deal to help low-income people with social services and housing. “My goals are simple,” says Macklem: “Remember the past, deal with the present, plan for the future. I’m part of history, and I want to be part of the future.” Donna Villemaire: Bringing a thoughtful, consultative approach Donna Villemaire has served four terms on council and is now bringing her experience and knowledge to a run for mayor. The city faces issues “too important to learn the ropes on the job,” she says. Not a flashy performer, Villemaire has a reputation for thoughtful decisions, concern for the environment and sustainable development, and a consultative approach to working with communities. In her comprehensive policy platform, Villemaire promises to: • Improve integrity, ethics and council-staff collaboration; • Give local residents a voice through community councils; • Increase accountability by auditing municipal programs and posting councillors’ expenses; • Include environmental impact assessments in municipal planning, partner to protect lands and waters, and encourage low-impact storm water management; • Support agriculture (our largest economic sector) by protecting farmland and promoting “buy local” policies; • Update the Tourism Destination Plan and push for increased hours on the Trent canal;

• Support arts and culture development, and youth engagement; • Seek provincial funding for more after-hours health clinics, continue family doctor recruitment, and implement recommendations from citizen consultations on health care; • Hold open consultations on policing in CKL, update the city’s Master Fire Plan, and develop a collaborative medical priority dispatch system; • Boost small business as the backbone of our economy; and • Fight poverty through supporting child care, transportation and affordable housing—the top barriers to finding work. Villemaire promises not to raise taxes and says most of her proposals are revenue neutral, or can be funded through offsets in other areas.
CKL COUNCIL CANDIDATES—WARDS 9-16
Correction: What a difference a few letters make. Last issue we said Ward 5 candidate Steve Strangway had been working on Doctor Retirement. Of course, we meant Doctor Recruitment. Our apologies. Ward 9 Isaac Breadner Isaac Breadner grew up in Lindsay, and moved back to the area in 2010 to start a career in real estate. He is running for council because he believes in public service. He has volunteered as Vice President at the CKL Humane Society and on the board of directors for the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Breadner says economic development is the biggest challenge facing the city. He vows “to bring some new and fresh ideas to council.” Breadner feels his experience working for the Federal Government as an aide to former Cabinet Minister Jim Prentice (Industry and Environment) can help to “build our relationships with both the provincial and federal governments.” Ryan Kellas Did not respond. Russ Moore Russ Moore says his 31 years as a senior constable with the Lindsay Police Service, and 17 years as president of the Police Association, will serve him well as councillor. His experience “investigating issues, researching solutions and solving problems” will help him “identify problems, develop alternatives and find costeffective solutions” within the city. Moore has a vision for a council that works together to “establish a prosperous future.” He acknowledges the challenge of having 16 wards, “each with unique histories, needs and issues.” But Moore is hopeful that council “can agree to address the most critical issues first, no matter which ward they belong to and create a vision for what the city needs as a whole.” Ward 10 Pat Dunn Pat Dunn, Incumbent of Ward 10, was first elected to his current position in 2010. Over the past four years he has helped to change the way business is conducted in the city. “We are a leaner, more accountable government,” says Dunn. The job is far from finished though and Dunn cautions that without continued leadership the city may revert to “the old way of doing business.” Dunn promises he is “not afraid to take a stand” and if re-elected he will
work hard, do his research and ask the tough questions. Linda Griffith Linda Griffith was challenged to run by an associate who said she might be: “the best advocate for the marginalized, people with disabilities and seniors in the city today.” She promises accountability, accessibility, caring, communications, integrity, listening, responsiveness and trust. If elected, she would work to improve life for “all” residents, and recognize and respond to the financial and other constraints people are coping with on a day-to-day basis. Griffith wants to improve snow removal, bus transit, roads, affordable housing (with a current three-five-year wait), to curb wasteful spending on things like consultant fees, and to protect the environment. Chris Morasse Did not respond.
Duncan Gallacher Like many residents of the city residents, Duncan Gallacher has become concerned with “the apparent stagnation of council as the city deteriorates and is passed by other communities in Ontario.” He feels that personal agendas and in-fighting have paralyzed council when the city needs it the most. A dedicated family man and Scout leader with a strong technical background and people-management skills, Gallacher spent almost two years doing contract electrical-service work for the city, seeing first hand what parts of the city need to improve. He hopes to help the council engage with the people who elected them. Gallacher wants council to be more aggressive in bringing business and employment to the city, which should be far more than a stop for fast food and beverages for people on the way to the cottage.
Ward 11 Susan Hall Did not respond.
Gord James Two-term incumbent Gord James, who has served on 22 committees, styles himself the city’s busiest councillor. A lifelong resident of the CKL and a farmer for nearly 40 years, James has a top-ten to-do list for next term that includes reviewing the city’s governance system. He says the current ward system pits “council members and their communities against each other to fight for scarce resources, and we are missing out on the big picture.” Other items in the to-do list include: eliminate roadblocks for business, re-purpose the Old Mill to encourage marine visitors, distribute a city newsletter with tax bills, sell surplus city properties to fund economic development, create a tourist welcome centre in Memorial Park, and trails to the fairgrounds, contain costs of policing and emergency services, enhance transportation systems including a GO stop in CKL, and public consultation on major issues.
Marcel Loignon Marcel Loignon has always been interested in politics. After raising a family and working in the community for the past 15 years he feels he can offer an innovative approach to the position, along with experience in strategic planning and promoting growth and development. Loignon feels council should be more visible in the community and focus on new business development and growth for the city, while still supporting our current local businesses. He thinks this is the best strategy to encourage people to live and work in the City of Kawartha Lakes. Loignon promises to bring fresh new ideas, a strong sense of community involvement and an open-minded approach to council.
Emmanuel Kriticos Emmanuel Kriticos says he wants to be part of mayoral candidate Bill Denby’s team and help “clean up CKL and open it for business.” He is “tired of all the abuse of people’s money, mine included.” Paying off CKL’s debt is a big issue for Kriticos, and he “wants to be part of the solution-making body called council.” He thinks there is no reason for people to be out of work and has a vision that in four years there will be enough jobs for people who want them. “The fact is people have had good jobs in this community, and the jobs have left,” says Kriticos. If council works together, CKL can be “one of the biggest tourist areas to visit and spend money.”
Patrick O’Reilly Incumbent Patrick O’Reilly is seeking re-election to his fourth term on CKL council. He points out that during his time, ward 11 has over $50 million worth of project development either completed or in process, including the plaza on Kent Street west and a Days Inn. Currently the chair of the planning committee, he has also served on committees on governance, policing, tourism, the CHEST fund and others. O’Reilly’s priorities are to keep council focussed on economic development, especially to provide jobs for young people, and to continue with infrastructure upgrades to support development, to develop rail trails and bike routes, to promote tourism and arts and culture. Ward 12
Ward 13 Angelo Dal Bello Although he is now retired, in his professional career as a registered condominium manager, Angelo Dal Bello has experience dealing with city councils, contractors, corporation boards of directors and effective financial management skills. Dal Bellow says he will bring dedication, honesty, hard work, common sense, problem solving skills and “a natural ability to get the facts” to his role as councillor. He says he shares the frustration of ward 13 residents regarding the issues facing their area. “People love it here and care about their community but don’t feel empowered to do anything about it,” says Dal Bello. “I am running for council to represent the voice of my community. Frustration requires change; this election is pivotal.”
Howard Robinson After taking a break from city hall for the last four years, Howard Robinson is ready to come back with renewed energy and enthusiasm. He feels his political experience will be an asset after this election, which will bring many new faces to council. Robinson is confident he can “help mould a practical long-term planning perspective for business.” He also hopes to “assist in forging a more cohesive council body that can work with less division towards long term goals and benefits for all of the City of Kawartha Lakes.”

Kathleen Seymour-Fagan “It is time to unite our area and create a thriving, sustainable, vibrant community for us all to live and work in—and to do it together,” says Kathleen Seymour-Fagan. “This is why I am standing for council.” Seymour-Fagan has lived in the area for 13 years, and before that, spent time here with her family on summer vacations. “It is where I met my husband, Dr. Michael Fagan, and it is a very special place to us.” As the owner of the Kawartha Coffee Company, Seymour-Fagan says October 17, 2014 - The Kawartha Promoter 15
she often talks to clients about where our town can go. With her solid business foundations, she believes “we can turn our passions and vision into action, and build a community we can continue to be proud of and to call our home.” Pat Warren Incumbent Pat Warren has spent 11 years representing Ward 13 constituents. Now retired, she will devote even more time to council initiatives that in the past have included the Sustainability Plan, the streetscaping of King and Bolton streets, lake management plans and other infrastructure initiatives. Warren is strongly committed to a healthy, sustainable environment. She promises she will continue fighting for “responsible aggregate development so Bobcaygeon and Dunsford will remain the wonderful places we enjoy.” In the next year residents can expect expansions of the weight room at the Forbert Pool and at the Bobcaygeon Library. She would like constituents to know she opposes highway 36 as a major haul route. Warren asserts she has the “experience, knowledge, time and enthusiasm to get the job done.” Ward 14 Ron Ashmore Incumbent Ron Ashmore was first elected to ward 14 in 2006, where he says he has helped “make sure that ward 14 receives the same and more than other wards with respect to capital and operating budgets.” He has also aided in the creation of a new performance management system that he claims has “thus far saved the tax payers $3 million.” Ashmore feels the focus for the next four years should be economic development to attract new businesses and manufacturing. “What I would like to see,” says Ashmore, “is CKL as a tax free zone for businesses starting out who create good paying jobs and attract more young families to the area. Our youth are our future and we need to have an environment that attracts them here.” Eddie Burton Eddie Burton has lived and worked as a real estate agent and farmer in the City of Kawartha Lakes for 25 years. He’s running because in 25 years he says he hasn’t noticed any growth in the city. He has three major concerns: 1) he wants to implement a process to aggressively eliminate the city’s debt; 2) he feels that the council is not working well enough together to affect positive change for the city; and 3) the city needs a better process to actively attract more small industries that would complement existing businesses and also pay more than minimum wage for youth. Gail Coplen Gail Coplen has been living, working and farming in ward 14 for over 25 years. Now she is hoping to be elected as councillor. Coplen feels it is important to adopt flexible attitudes and policies that support and encourage local businesses while helping attract new
businesses to the area. She thinks that the “development and implementation of constructive dispute resolution policies would move city business forward with far less cost to constituents.” Coplen also supports the development of a strong private sector which would give the city a solid tax base and the funding ability for social, sports, arts and culture programs. Coplen says it is her goal “to be a part of a new generation of local government that supports and respects constituents so they can enjoy personal and professional success.” Gerard Jilesen Gerard Jilesen vows to “work tirelessly in the best interest of our community and the people in it.” He feels it is his duty to step up and help the city get back on track. He wants to bring greater fiscal responsibility to council. “Presently the duties of council are not being handled in a cost effective manner, which is resulting in further debt. There are a variety of ways to save money and we can accomplish this by instituting a strong voice with new ideas.” Jilesen also wants to make sure that road construction projects are properly assigned to the roads that need it the most. Ward 15 Mary Ann Martin Mary Ann Martin, a school board trustee for over 20 years, has decided to run for council in CKL. Martin says she will bring dedication, hard-work and commitment to her role as councillor. Martin’s experience with the School Board has given her an understanding of “how the system works,” so she “can hit the pavement running” if she is elected. Martin says “our rural areas, farmlands and homes must be protected by ensuring that decisions made at the municipal level have a positive impact on everyone.” She advocates an approach that will, “provide both our youth and our seniors with a healthy environment, and local programs”. Janice Salsbury Janice Salsbury says “the time is right for me to step up to an even greater challenge and offer my enthusiasm and skills to the people of CKL as councillor.” She moved to Omemee in 2008 and has demonstrated her commitment to community involvement by helping to organize the Pioneer Days in 2011 and 2012 and co-chairing the Omemee Business Committee. She has owned and operated 2 small businesses and has experience working with individuals, boards of directors and governments. Salsbury describes herself as “loyal and conscientious”, someone who is “an excellent communicator with very high values and strong principles” and someone who has “the ability to look at the big picture while keeping the interests of others at the forefront.”

Karl Seidel Karl Seidel says the residents of Ward 15 have given him a simple mandate, to spend and treat their tax dollars the way he spends his own money. He wants to ensure council operates in a fiscally responsible manner without accumulating more debt. Seidel hopes to achieve these goals “by taking a commonsense and uncomplicated view on matters to see if we can get things done with the tax dollars that we have at our disposal.” Ward 16 Linda Carder Linda Carder says she will bring a balanced approach to all the issues facing council. Carder promises that she will be at council 100 percent and only give an opinion or vote on an issue after seeing all the facts. She has ideas to attract new industry, commerce, tourism and residents both young and old to our city. Carder thinks the city needs to focus on growth. She vows that residents of ward 16 “will know what is happening in Manvers by receiving a quarterly newsletter and annual town hall meetings.” Carder says she will work both for the good of ward 16 and the larger CKL community. Cosmo Cardichi Did not respond. Heather Stauble Incumbent Heather Stauble was first elected to Ward 16 in 2010. The accomplishments she is most proud of are: developing and passing a bylaw preventing contaminated fill from being dumped in Kawartha Lakes, the Septic Loan program, finding a solution for the transportation of Ontario Disability Support Program clients, and launching Rural Transit. Stauble is focused on the challenges surrounding the proposed industrial wind projects, the 2015 scheduled review of the Oak Ridges Moraine legislation, pits and quarries, and financing the construction of roads, bridges, water and wastewater projects. She is hardworking, committed and willing to research difficult issues. Stauble feels she has demonstrated “perseverance and an ability to consider the interests of residents in all areas of the City of Kawartha Lakes.”

IS YOUR CAR BEING PUSHED OUT BY YOUR LAWN EQUIPMENT? This bird is no turkey
Maria Correa took this photo of a peacock—of unknown origin—who seems to have hooked up with a flock of wild turkeys in the Alpine Village area. The flock, including the peacock, is fairly acclimatized to the villagers, some of whom have been feeding the big birds over the summer. Nobody seems to know where this peacock came from. Do you?

Health & Wellness Get your flu shot to go
There’s drive-thru coffee, drive-thru banking, and … yes … even drive-thru flu shots. The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit is offering a free ‘Drive-Thru’ Flu Shot Clinic in Lindsay on Saturday, Oct. 25. The clinic, which will be held at Polito Ford Lincoln on Kent Street at Highway 7, is for people with medical conditions or special needs who find it difficult to attend a regular public flu shot clinic.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING
You never know when you are going to find yourself in a situation where exposure to loud noise is going to pose a threat to your hearing. It is generally recommended that you take steps to safeguard your hearing from prolonged exposure to noise levels of 85 decibels and above. For example, lawnmowers and shop tools generally register about 90 decibels, while chainsaws and drills reach 100 decibels, power saws reach 110 decibels, loud rock concerts regularly hit 115 decibels, race cars come in at 130 decibels, and fireworks/jet engine takeoffs measure 150 decibels. Fortunately, it only takes a pair of (properly inserted) earplugs to protect your ears from these loud noises. Carry them in your purse, backpack, or briefcase. P.S. Earplugs are extremely effective at blocking out the drone of jet engines (and crying babies) on long flights.
22 October 17, 2014 - The Kawartha Promoter
“It’s very important that people with special needs receive a flu shot in order to be protected from influenza, and that’s where the drive-thru clinics can really help,” says Linda McCarey, Director of Communicable Disease Control with the HKPR District Health Unit. The drive-thru clinics are for folks who are frail with significant difficulty walking, use a wheelchair, are recovering from back or heart surgery, are recovering from a stroke or brain injury, have serious auditory/visual conditions, require a guide or companion dog, are oxygen dependent, are developmentally/mentally challenged, or have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. “Attending a drive-thru clinic can be much easier for a person and for the caregiver than going to a regular clinic, especially as they can be vaccinated in the comfort of their own vehicle.” Vehicle drivers and caregivers can also be vaccinated at the drive-thru. Space is limited, so local residents are asked to make an appointment before 4 pm on Oct. 17. Call the Health Unit office in Lindsay at (705) 324-3569, ext. 2201. The drive-thru clinics were first offered by the Health Unit in 2001. The Health Unit will start its regular public flu shot clinics in November. Many pharmacies across Haliburton County, Northumberland County and the City of Kawartha Lakes will also be providing free flu shots this fall and winter. For more information, call your local Health Unit office or visit www.hkpr.on.ca .
Gala honours three CKL paramedics
Three Kawartha Lakes paramedics—Steve Lucas, Charles Phillips and Kevin Sheehan—earned the Emergency Medical Service’s “Exemplary Service” medal at the Ontario Association of Paramedic Chiefs gala in London, Ont., last month. Major General Richard Rohmer, who is the Honorary Paramedic Chief of Ontario, presented the medals. It is awarded to Canadian Paramedics who have served at least 20 years in an exemplary manner in Canada.
At the same time Kawartha Lakes Paramedics Richard Wigle and Art Russell received a 30-year ribbon bar for their exemplary service medals.

Bobcaygeon becomes ‘dementia friendly’
A pilot project in Bobcaygeon is helping people living with dementia to stay actively engaged with their community. The local Alzheimer Society’s Client Advisory Committee, which includes persons with dementia among its members, is piloting “Living Well With Dementia.” The aim, says Executive Director David Webster, is to change the face of dementia by
encouraging businesses and services in the community to support the unique needs of those living with it.
October 17, 2014 - The Kawartha Promoter 23
“I am so pleased that we have taken on this project,” says Susan, a member of the advisory committee who is also living with dementia. “I feel strongly that everyone should be able to remain active for as long as possible.” “Our committee chose a blue umbrella as the symbol for the program,” says Pat Finkle, project coordinator, to indicate that several forms of dementia—including Alzheimer’s disease—can be grouped under one umbrella. Common symptoms
include loss of memory, understanding and judgment. The project will provide individuals with dementia with a blue umbrella pin they can choose to wear as an identifier in the community. “This pin is our version of a white cane,” says Paul, one of the volunteers, and another active person living with dementia. “In some ways, this also represents the protection that comes from using an umbrella in the rain, in that we know that we can get assistance when we need it.” The Alzheimer Society staff and volunteers have been active in educating the public about dementia and the unique needs of people dealing with memory loss. The Alzheimer Society has provided education to members of the public along with fifty businesses and services, with another 15 planning to attend. “I have knocked on many business doors, and have been involved in the education sessions, and am so impressed by how many owners are open to the idea of making changes to how they operate their businesses,” says Dyan, another committee volunteer and still another active person living with dementia. “Many are surprised that I have dementia at my age, and that I am out in the community getting involved. I can see how their perceptions about dementia are changing”.

Financial Corner
QUESTION: I keep hearing about Estate Planning, what does it mean? RESPONSE: When individuals die they leave behind their Estate, which can be divided between the government, charities and their heirs. If they die without a Will (intestate) then the law will determine this division. An Estate Plan outlines their instructions so this division is carried out as they wish, and also provides for assistance in personal care and financial decisions as they become unwell. These are done by formal documents Powers of Attorney for Health and for Financial matters allow others to make important decisions
when the individuals are not able, and before they pass. A Will outlines how their Estate will be distributed after they pass. Other plans can reduce the government’s share and increase the share available to their heirs. An Estate Plan is important as it ensures individuals are looked after and supported when they become unwell, and their final wishes can be fulfilled. Talk to your advisor about this, or feel free to give me a call to discuss.

Horoscopes
Oct. 17 – Oct. 30, 2014 Melodie McCullough
Aries (March 21 to April 20) Forget about the loud-mouthed knowit-all who is making life difficult for you, dear Aries. This person does not know nearly as much as he thinks he does, nor nearly as much as you know. Remember: empty vessels make the most noise. Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Your job is front and foremost in your thoughts these days, we realize. But if something is bothering you, you need to discuss it with both your boss and your colleagues. Things can only get worse if you let them simmer away without addressing them. Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Perhaps it’s time to speak your own mind. Yes, speak up and out—not just about things that upset you, but, more importantly, about things you appreciate. Share your gratitude, Gemini, and make the world a better place. Cancer (June 23 to July 23) We sense a need for you to take a few steps back from the conflicts and pressures that are draining your energy, Cancer. It never hurts to re-focus so you can concentrate on the important details and regain your drive. Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) You’ve made a big decision recently, Leo, for which you will gain respect. It’s always tough to be pulled in two directions, wanting the best of both. But, with your integrity intact, you can now move on.
Do you have a news tip or idea? We would like to hear from you editor@thepromoter.ca
Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Don’t hold back during this phase, Virgo. If you have strong feelings about something, let them show. The most important thing you can do is to find someone to talk to about those feelings. Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) “There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind”—C. S. Lewis. We could paraphrase this in any number of ways, Libra, but the message would be the same—don’t dwell on the past; embrace the future. Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Dear Scorpio, did you realize your sign is known for being the most contrary and contradictory of all zodiac signs? You need to be aware of this trait and make it work to your advantage, rather than disadvantage. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) You’ve found yourself deep into one of those weary on-off relationships, Sagittarius. Time to reevaluate the entire situation. Do you really want to continue down this road? Find some alternate interests to fall back on when you find yourself alone, as seems to be the case these days. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) You may receive a mystical message in the next few days, Capricorn, but it will be a message of hope and healing. Don’t try to understand the reasoning behind it. Accept the aura of comfort and goodwill it brings you. Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) It takes an effort to find silence and soothing sounds these days, Aquarius. The world is alive and screaming. But find it you must—for the good of your health. Noise pollution is stressful and, therefore, unhealthy. Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Money may cause relationship problems in the near future, Pisces. We urge you to explore your financial situation with your partner and cautiously work out a plan that can be respected by both. Money doesn’t have to be a problem in a healthy relationship.
