Prayers this week for Corporal Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, for those who loved them, and for all who serve and protect—especially as Remembrance Day approaches.

I am reminded of a different, but not entirely dissimilar, threat of terrorism we once faced: the “October Crisis” of 1970, when members of the Front de Liberation de Quebec kidnapped Quebec Labour Minister Pierre Laporte (later killed) and British Trade Commissioner James Cross.

Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau implemented the War Measures Act (at the request of the Quebec government and city of Montreal, and with overwhelming popular support), effectively suspending civil liberties. It was a much more draconian, short-term response to a “clear and present danger,” than we are seeing so far.

In the long run, the crisis marked a turning point in

Quebec-Canada relations.

It woke us up to begin listening to—and accommodating—the real grievances of Quebeckers. Slowly, haltingly, things have changed for the better.

Some Islamic groups have grievances about Canada’s behaviour. We need real dialogue to help defuse aggressive armed incursions abroad and irrational acts of rage at home and abroad.

A landslide for Letham—CKL’s new mayor

There were many who suggested this mayoral race in the City of Kawartha Lakes was Andy Letham’s to lose—and it seems they were right, for lose it he absolutely did NOT.

Now it’s official. The numbers make it a landslide victory for Letham, running for his third try for the mayoral seat, but this time without having to square off against his nemesis, outgoing mayor Ric McGee.

It seemed an open race at the beginning with Letham, Donna Villemaire, Brenda Karagiannis and John Macklem all credible candidates. But as Bill Denby’s over-the-top-campaigning took over the public consciousness, it became a question of who was most likely to defeat Denby—with the answer, of course, being Letham, so that more and more of the votes went his way.

In the end, he took 16,055 votes, over 58 percent of the 27,677 total. The rest were way behind him, with Donna Villemaire second at 4,742 votes (17 percent); Brenda Karagiannis with 3,888 votes (14 percent); John Macklem with 2,338 votes (under nine percent); and Bill Denby trailing with 654 votes (two percent).

In council, many incumbents were returned— including Steve Strangway (Ward 5), Doug Elmslie (Ward 6), and Brian Junkin (Ward 7)—but not all of them. Ward 13 in Bobcaygeon was a surprising upset, with Kathleen Seymour-Fagan squeaking by long-time incumbent Pat Warren.

Here are the ward election numbers. Incumbent is denoted with (I):

Thank you Ward 2!

I look forward to representing you at City Hall.

Trent Lakes upset brings in Matthews as mayor

Long-time councillor in the Municipality of Trent Lakes, Bev Matthews, is the township’s new mayor, winning against incumbent Janet Clarkson.

Matthews was the sole member of the old board to oppose changes to allow the controversial Dewdney Mountain Farms Quarry. That may have been the deciding factor.

Matthews took 2,237 or just under 54 percent of the total 4,169 votes cast for mayor. Clarkson received 1,932 votes, or slightly over 46 percent.

In the three-way race for deputy-mayor, Rick Aube (1,579 votes) and Peter Franzen (904) split 59 per cent of the total 4,205 votes, to leave incumbent Ron Windover as first past the post with 41 percent of the electoral support (1,722 votes).

Here are the rest of the official results, with (I) denoting incumbent: Councillor at Large Dick Persson – Acclaimed Councillor GalwayCavendish Ward Terry Lambshead – 707 Madeline Pearson – 617 (I) Richard Wackernagel – 96

over, and he seemed in a mood for some fingerwagging while he still had the chance.

It started during discussion on a motion from Ward 6 councillor Doug Elmslie to look at reducing speed limits on residential streets in the city from 50 km an hour to 40.

Then McGee jumped in: “This is a goofy issue,” he charged. “How can you support it, just because it’s motherhood and apple pie?” It must be election season, he added.

“Governing,” said McGee, slipping into full lecture mode, “is about doing the right thing, not about pandering to votes. If people are going faster than 50 km an hour, you don’t lower the speed limit, you enforce it.”

That seemed to leave council members with little to do but sulk, like students behind their desks after a dressing-down from teacher.

But Elmslie was having none of it, and rose in dignity to respond.

“I was thinking about public safety,” he insisted.

“I was not pandering to votes.” “I thought it was a reasonable idea to save and protect people in the City of Kawartha Lakes.”

In the end, Elmslie’s motion was defeated, but not without some needless malarkey from the mayor.

Thank you Ward 13!

And to all my supporters and helpers I am grateful and appreciative of your part in this win.

I look forward to working with you all over the next four years.

Roots & Ramblings Happy Birthday Harry

By John Bick, Bobcaygeon & District Horticultural Society

Harry Van Oudenaren, one of Bobcaygeon’s most notable gardeners is celebrating his 90th birthday in November. Raised near the Dutch town of Aalsmeer, home of the largest fresh flower auction market in the world, he grew up helping an older brother. They brought wooden boxes packed with fresh flowers to the roadside by four o’clock every morning for delivery to the Aalsmeer Market.

A trained machinist, he emigrated to Bobcaygeon in 1950, accepting a job offer at Cecil Pogue’s garage on Bolton Street. There he became acquainted with the town, and eventually published “Bobcaygeon—A Picture Book of Memories.”

In 1967, Harry opened his own garage on North Street across from the house built in 1958 where he and his wife Johanna raised their family of six.

It was only when he retired that he had enough time to devote to hobbies, chiefly gardening. Over the years, Harry transformed his sloping backyard into an oasis of all-season beauty. Famous for its display of Dutch spring flowers, the garden includes well-maintained collections of hostas, lilies, hollyhocks and sempervirum (hens and chicks).

As President of the Horticultural Society during Canada’s 1967 Centenary, Harry oversaw a growth in our club’s membership, and the planting of flowering-crab-apple trees. Happy Birthday Harry.

This rice is wild, man

Wild rice, which has been a staple for Anishnaabe (Ojibwa) people in this area for centuries, is coming back to Pigeon Lake, thanks to careful cultivation and harvesting in their traditional territory by members of Curve Lake First Nation.

In fact, it was the wild rice, or manomin, that brought the Anishnaabe here originally. “Our prophets told us to travel west until we found a place where food grew on the water,” she said. That was the rice, and the place was the Great Lakes area, including what we now know as the Kawarthas—a name given by Curve Lake members.

The returning rice has some cottagers upset— over perceived impediments to boating and property values. One group, led by Ennismore’s Larry Wood, took their complaints to the Selwyn council.

But when Curve Lake’s cultural archivist Anne Taylor and Intergovernmental Affairs Officer Melissa Dokis shared how important the cultural and ecological revival of the plant is to their people, it was a revelation to participants at a recent Small Business Week breakfast sponsored by the Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce.

Several said they were hearing the story from the Anishnaabe perspective for the first time, and some suggested that with proper education, lake residents could come to appreciate the plant’s true value—perhaps even recognizing its possibilities as a cultural and tourist attraction.

“A lot of people don’t realize that what they think of as weeds are actually wild rice plants,” Taylor said. “So a lot of it gets torn up.” The rice beds can be marked, and appropriate channels can be cut for boating, she said. It just takes cooperation and communication.

The Curve Lake people used to have a “wonderful relationship” with the business people of Bobcaygeon, Taylor said, working together in the lumber camps and in fishing tourism. They also harvested the rice and cranberries on the lakes, which were originally much marshier river areas.

Wild rice beds create a whole ecosystem, she told Chamber members. It creates excellent habitat, especially for geese, ducks, muskrat, beaver and fish, “which is still a huge part of our culture.”

“When we treatied with the settlers over this land,” Taylor explained, “the agreement was that the crown needed the land in the interior for settlement,” and the Anishnaabe needed the water and shorelines for harvesting and travelling.

Then came the dams and canals, and the rice and cranberries were flooded out. Cottage development along the lakes polluted the waters. Taylor recalls her people drinking water straight from the lake.

Now, even many of the wells at Curve Lake—which is on a peninsula—don’t provide drinkable water.

“We are looking for partnerships,” Dokis told Chamber members. “We are not against development; we want partners.”

Remembrance Day Words of Remembrance—from the heart In our desire to remember and honour those men and women—often so very young— who fought for us and for our freedom in wars over the years, it seems we often find ourselves turning to poetry.

Long After the Guns Fall Silent

By Peter Howard, Bobcaygeon Long after the guns fall silent, after our soldiers grow old, Who will remember those lying ‘neath earth and waters now cold?

Will our duty keep faith with their valour when the last of our veterans have died Or will it fade as the sun in the twilight like sand swept away by the tide?

In silence we pause for a moment to reflect on those we have lost: Their struggle, sacrifice, suffering, the battles, campaigns and the cost.

The bugle now sounds; we awaken.

There’s a challenge in its sweet reverie, “To preserve the peace is not easy; there’s a toll paid to keep us all free”.

There will be a variety of lovely desserts to accompany the tea, entertainment from the Bobcaygeon Choristers, and a word of welcome and remembrance from the Commander of Zone F4, Marilyn LaMarche. The zone stretches from Sunderland to Beaverton to Brechin to Haliburton to Bobcaygeon to Lindsay.

O’Brian died in 1956 at age 61, he was buried in the Verulam Cemetery, from Christ Anglican Church, with the full military honours befitting someone with the letters, CBE (Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) and AFC (Air Force Cross) behind his name.

“I remember it as a kid,” says Bob Devitt, a long-time village resident now living in Lindsay.

“It’s one of the biggest things that happened in Bobcaygeon.”

Harry Van Oudenaren recalls that right after his wife arrived from the Netherlands to join him in Bobcaygeon, the couple was walking down Bolton Street as Harry introduced his wife to her new home town. That’s when the funeral cortege went by.

“They came down Sherwood, along King and “Proudly supporting those whoWelcome fought andtocontinue to the fightKawartha for our Freedom…”

up Bolton,” he recalls. “There was a great big gun carriage with a casket on top of it, all drawn by four black horses.” followed by drums and bagpipes.

The procession continued across the bridges and up to the Verulam cemetery on Dunn Street.

“We didn’t expect it,” says Harry. “In my mind’s eye I can still see it.”

The event made quite an impression on 12-yearold Bob Devitt too. “They brought in quite a few soldiers,” he adds. And although in retrospect he’s not sure whether this really happened, in his own mind’s eye he remembers that, “jets flew over.”

Geoffrey O’Brian was a lawyer from Bobcaygeon, but flew fighters over the Western Front during the First World War. After the war, he stayed in the military, and became part of the newly formed Royal Canadian Air Force in 1924. As a squadron leader, he founded 400 Squadron in Ottawa and later rose to the rank of air commodore.

His wife, Kate (nee St. George), lived in Bobcaygeon, and although Geoffrey was stationed in various bases, he came home every weekend, recalls Harry. “He was a very nice man, soft spoken.

He and Bill Robinson were the instigators who worked to get the Bobcaygeon Legion Hall built.”

Geoffrey’s sons Peter and Liam were active in the Second World War. In 1940, Peter fought the Battle of Britain in Spitfires and Hurricanes and was twice awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Peter was shot down off the coast of Brittany and rescued

by Free French torpedo boats.

Kawartha Lakes outgoing Mayor Ric McGee has offered “our most sincere condolences” to the family and friends of Corporal Nathan Cirillo on behalf of CKL residents, council and staff.

In a statement released after the tragic Oct. 22 shooting at Ottawa’s National War Memorial, Mayor McGee said “our thoughts and prayers” are with the corporal, “who tragically lost his life after being shot at the National War Memorial yesterday.”

“We remain confident,” he added, “that all persons responsible for perpetrating this hideous crime will be brought to justice for their actions Master Cpl. Wes Arscott stands before the Canadian vigil at the Fenelon Falls people.

Did you know that, legally . . .

Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, it’s always wise and effective to keep a “paper trail,” noting any conversations of concern, complaints or threats from the other party.

If a landlord-tenant relationship becomes tarnished, or even antagonistic, it can wind up at the Tribunal of the Landlord-Tenant Board.

If your lease, agreements, or complaints are not in writing, then it becomes the age-old argument of “he said/she said,” and you may end up with a decision that is not in your favour.

Be proactive and document pertinent conversations, emails and texts. If you pay your rent with cash, make sure you get a proper receipt.

Be aware of your legal rights. You may want to take a look at the Residential Tenancies Act, which you can easily find online by googling it.

For assistance with your rights or concerns, or if you have a current Tribunal matter, it is always prudent to contact a licensed paralegal for advice.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Look at all you have accomplished, Aries. You have done so much and done it well. So why do you keep bashing yourself for “under-performing?” Learn to praise and value yourself.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Towards the end of this phase, some small but important changes may occur in your daily routine, Taurus. Take note. Don’t disregard them simply because they appear trivial—they are not.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) In November, the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters stars, adorn the evening sky. In Western astrology, they represent “coping with sorrow.” Bound together by their nearness, they remind us, Gemini, that in times of woe, we can find gladness in the closeness of friends and loved ones.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) “Choose well. Your choice is brief, and yet endless”—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Yes, indeedy.

Sometimes we are afraid of choices, Cancer. But choices, like variety, are the spice of life. Where would we be if everything was dictated to us, day in and day out?

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) New adventures await you at every turn, Leo. Keep looking up with your eyes straight ahead. We even anticipate a new-found love lying in wait.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Getting involved in a heated argument is never a good idea, Virgo. So do yourself a favour and stay out of trouble—let someone else look after things for once.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Libra, plan to do something every day towards your goals. You know what they are, of course, so remain positive that you can accomplish them. Take the steps that will get you there. Each stride, no matter how small, can lead you where you want to go.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) This is your phase, Scorpio, and with the full moon on Nov. 6 (the Freezing Moon) comes a period of preparation for the long winter ahead—hand in hand with all creatures. It is also a time, according to Aboriginal belief, to mentally and spiritually plan by learning the songs and stories that will sustain us. Are you ready, Scorpio?

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Dear Sag, life is getting you down. You need to do something about this right now. Don’t let it fester. Make the changes you know are necessary for a happier life. You will not by sorry.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) You are really starting to spread your wings and fly, aren’t you Capricorn? And doesn’t it feel great? But please don’t overload those wings with too much weight. Take small flights and, bit by bit you will soar.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Life is often a process of getting used to things we don’t expect. But it is always possible to “get used” to something or someone. And once we do, we wonder why we were ever worried. The “unexpected” makes life interesting.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20 Career-wise, Pisces, you are versatile and receptive to new ideas. These traits are excellent for the job you have chosen. Over the coming weeks, you can anticipate a new challenge at work, one for which you will be supremely qualified.

Caygeon chamber seeks five new directors

The Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce is looking for five women or men—good and true—to fill a third of the 15 positions on its board of directors.

17th Annual Kawartha Lakes

Festival of Trees

November 13th-16th, 2014

Ten of last year’s directors have agreed to remain on the board. “That leaves five positions to be filled, including that of the all-important treasurer,” says chamber President Susan Paradoski, “and it is our fervent hope five of our citizens will step forward.”

Each position, she explains, carries a responsibility for one of the chamber’s five annual events—Awards of Excellence, Unlock the Summer, Canada-U.S. Walleye Tournament, Cruisefest and Afternoon Tea—along with other communityrelated efforts and internal operations. So “being a Chamber director is rewarding and satisfying.”

New directors will be elected at the annual general meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 18 at the Service Centre. The members-only meeting will start at 7 pm.

“The Chamber fills a definite economic and social need in the Bobcaygeon area through the unselfish efforts of its volunteer directors,” says Paradoski. “It has been blessed for many years—decades, in fact—with the talents of many people contributing positively to everyday life in Bobcaygeon.”

Nomination forms for each directorship are available at the Chamber office, 21 Canal Street East, or by phoning 705-738-2202. The successful slate of new and continuing directors will choose the board executive at the first meeting.

Every donation in exchange for a poppy, not only shows respect for those who have served our country, it’s also a way of giving back to your community.

In Lindsay, the Royal Canadian Legion directs poppy funds where members believe they’re needed most, and this year it’s the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Legion Branch President Jim Richardson, Poppy Committee chair John Sherman, and Service Officer Penny Watson presented a cheque for $12,000 to Erin Coons, Executive Director of the RMH Foundation to help purchase three anaesthesia pain pumps that are used during surgery.

“This gift will impact patients of all ages,” said Coons. “On behalf of our patients and their families, our doctors and the hospital team—thank you.”

Pine Ridge District Health Unit with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

The Health Unit is offering STOP Programs in Lindsay on Wednesday, Nov. 5, in Haliburton on Thursday, Nov. 6, and in Bobcaygeon on Thursday, Nov. 27.

Find out if you qualify for the STOP Program and pre-register by calling the Health Unit at (705) 324-3569 or toll-free at 1-866-888-4577, ext. 2204.

“We are very excited to be working with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health to bring the STOP Program back to our area, especially when it can directly benefit smokers who are trying to quit,” says Dearbhla Lynch, a Health Promoter with the HKPR District Health Unit.

Research shows the use of patches and other nicotine replacement therapy can more than double the chances of people becoming smoke-free, she adds. “Nicotine patches are very effective, but can be expensive for some people.

The fact that patches are free through the STOP Program is just another reason to call to see if you qualify.”

Since its inception in 2005, the STOP Program has provided free support to more than 90,000 Ontarians who wanted to quit smoking.

This free patch helps you ‘STOP’ smoking

Warning: Get your flu shot—or get the flu

Poppies purchase pain pumps at RMH

STOP stands for “Smoking Treatment for Ontario Patients,” and if your goal to give up tobacco has gone up in smoke again, this might be the opportunity you need.

The unique, quit-smoking program provides resources and five weeks of nicotine patches freeof-charge to smokers, to help more people quit for good. Here are three opportunities to try it out, brought to you by the Haliburton, Kawartha,

Although the flu vaccine is not perfect, the Health Unit says getting the annual shot is still one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and your loved ones from the disease. “The vaccine prevents many illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths every year,” it says.

The Health Unit is offering three community flu-shot clinics across the CKL, starting Nov. 1.

They are open to everyone six months or older, but bring your Ontario health card.

YOUR EAR IS TRYING TO PROTECT YOU

Most of us have experienced a full or plugged feeling in our ears after being exposed to loud noise, such as a gunshot.

This protective response, known as “temporary threshold shift” (TTS), is the ear’s way of protecting itself from extreme sound. This upward shift in the threshold of human hearing involves reducing the ear’s sensitivity to excessive noise. Most people recover from a TTS event in a day or two, if you don’t, it isn’t something you should ignore and I would suggest that you consult with an audiologist immediately. The noise to which you have been exposed could damage your hearing. Regular exposure to excessive noise for long periods of time usually results in a “permanent threshold shift” (permanent hearing loss). This is preventable with the proper use of hearing protection devices such as earplugs. your purse, backpack, or briefcase. To learn more visit our website at “www.hearingdoctor. ca” or to schedule a hearing consultation, please call us at the number below.

P.S. Exposure to high noise levels can result in “tinnitus,” a constant buzzing or ringing sound in the ears.

“Flu vaccine is safe and very effective,” says Linda McCarey, the Health Unit’s Director of Communicable Disease Control with the HKPR District Health Unit. “People who get the flu shot are less likely to get influenza than someone who does not get vaccinated. And even if you get the flu after receiving the flu shot, your illness will be milder.”

Fifteen pharmacies across the CKL are also approved by the Ontario Ministry of Health to provide flu shots for anyone over five. Find the list at www.hkpr.on.ca.

With many health care providers and Family Health Teams in the region also providing flu shots, McCarey notes: “It has never been so easy to be vaccinated against the flu.

“Invest the time to get the flu shot for you and your family because it will pay off in the end.”
