My friend Murray Whetung will celebrate his 92nd birthday this fall, Creator willing. He’s a family patriarch—with 13 children, 27 grandchildren (he’s not sure how many great-grandchildren), and four great-great-grandchildren. He’s a respected elder in his home community of Curve Lake, and one of the few old-time speakers of the Nishnaabemowin language left in the community. He’s also a United Church minister. On Sept. 17, I attended Murray’s traditional naming ceremony, where he received a spirit name from an international Anishnaabe cultural leader, Eddie Benton Banai. This event, said Eddie, is a reflection of a wonderful spiritual revival that is happening among the Anishnaabe (or Ojibwa) across the whole of their traditional territory. I remind myself that all the rest of us around here are actually living on the traditional territory of the Curve Lake Anishnaabe. And we’re only able to enjoy this beautiful land because our people
made treaty with Murray’s people, in what should have been—and still can and must become—a m u t u a l relationship. A s someone who has worked on Indigenous justice issues for many years, I have heard countless stories of how we have abused—and continue to abuse—our relationship with the First Peoples—through the residential schools, the Indian Act, land and resources grabs that continue even today. I have also experienced the grace of being welcomed and accepted by this patient, forgiving people—while still being called to help make things right. So welcome to your spirit name, Gidigaak Binesi, Spotted Thunderbird. And thank you for your friendship.

my kids, money for their future education fund, family vacations we will have to postpone and the endless stress of fighting such a battle on a decision that the OMB chair thinks you “supported.” I told Ms. Clarkson “I don’t want to fight with council, I would rather fight along with council.” Yet I was left to fight, told to take my story to the province. I did just that by filing an appeal along with the other appellants to the OMB. It wasn’t until we were a week-and-a-half, and tens of thousands of dollars into the OMB hearing, that Dewdney Mountain Farms along with Mr. Josephs (Trent Lakes planner) came to us offering concessions. Not one form of protection or mitigation measure was offered to us until that point. I and the other appellants held many public meetings to keep concerned citizens aware of what was going on. We brought you the largest opposition that Trent Lakes has ever seen to anything, and yet you couldn’t be bothered to fight for our rights as taxpayers. So I will ask you again: How much opposition do you need before you act on behalf of the ratepayers of Trent Lakes? Looking forward to a response.

TL Council lets citizens carry family cost of quarry fight
On Sept 22 at the All Candidates Meeting in Buckhorn, I asked a question that I never really got answered You the council say that taking aggregate licences to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) is too expensive. I feel that statement gives clear indication that anyone who applies for a licence in the township of Trent Lakes will not have any opposition from council and will be automatically approved. Essentially Trent Lakes is open range for aggregate. You have told us over and over again that it isn’t your jurisdiction; it is the province’s jurisdiction. In that case why do local councils Becki Jory even get the option to vote?

October 3, 2014 - The Kawartha Promoter
The adjacent Municipality of Trent Lakes is awaiting a decision by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on the proposed Dewdney Mountain Farms Quarry, only 10 km east of Bobcaygeon. The quarry’s haul route, which could extract more aggregate than all existing quarries in Trent Lakes combined—would go right down Bobcaygeon’s East Street, vastly increasing already significant heavy truck traffic on that route (some say up to one truck per minute). Residents raised concerns about noise and dust, danger and disruption to pedestrian traffic, and fears of sharing city roads with trucks that are wider, longer and carry heavier loads than the roads were built to accommodate. East Street was originally built as a bypass removing then Highway 36 to the east of the village, avoiding the swing bridge. The village has since expanded around the bypass, with housing to the east and a strip mall—including Tim Hortons—to the west. CKL also stated its strong opposition to both the Ministry of Natural Resources (which licences quarries) and the OMB hearing, to using CKL Rd 36 as a haul route for Trent Lakes aggregate. It should go through Buckhorn and down through Peterborough County, staff said. CKL has no control over development in Trent Lakes, and gains no income from quarries there, but increased quarry traffic is sure to bump CKL road maintenance costs. The city takes in $350,000 a year in quarry tonnage fees, but it costs over $225,000 to resurface a km of roadway. CKL Ward 13 councilor Pat Warren noted the city’s limited options to control truck traffic include weight restrictions on the bridge, and speed limits— which would have to be police enforced. Ward 7 candidate Steve Clarke suggested reviving rail lines to carry aggregate, and mayoral candidate Brenda Kariaggianis suggested paving shoulders of identified haul routes; installing sidewalks along high pedestrian activity areas;

lobbying the province to increase aggregate royalties from 7.5 cents per tonne to $ 1; and establishing citizen liaison committees for each quarry.
Revised aggregate plan will require zoning amendments
Before the public meeting on the aggregate plan erupted into concerns about trucks from Trent Lakes parading through Bobcaygeon, city staff just managed to present their revised version of the Aggregate Secondary Plan. It includes: • Removing the original proposal to designate—or zone—certain northern parts of the city as highquality aggregate areas; • Designating specific haul routes both within and traversing the city—but not including CKL Rd 36 on this list; • Discouraging aggregate extraction below the water table; • Establishing a mitigation trust fund to ensure there is money to rehabilitate exhausted quarries should the developers renege on agreements, or claim bankruptcy. The original proposal would have allowed quarry development in specifically zoned areas without an Official Plan amendment. But after strong citizen opposition to that proposal at public meetings in May and August, staff dropped the zoning idea, choosing instead to just “identify” high-quality aggregate areas in the ASP. The change means all quarry developers would have to seek an Official Plan amendment, requiring satisfactory hydrological, archeological, and other studies first. Should the city find problems with the studies, it could say no to a proposed quarry. All such decisions can be appealed to the OMB. CKL, with a population of 72,000, already has 160 pits and quarries licenced to extract 37 million tonnes of aggregate.

Little Britain Resident gets her moment in the Senate
“As a parent of four young adults, I can’t imagine sending my children hundreds of miles away to live by themselves in a strange city in order to get their high school diploma,” said Little Britain resident Colleen Green in a question that was read out in the Canadian Senate in Ottawa. “No child should have to risk life and limb to obtain a high school diploma,” she wrote. Senator Marie-Paule Charette-Poulin, read out Colleen’s letter about the troubling situation of northern First Nations students in the Senate Question period on Sept. 23. She addressed it to Senator Claude Carignan, leader of the government in the Senate. Colleen begins her letter by noting that “in Northern Ontario as in most provinces, First Nations students have no local secondary school available to them. Many must travel to cities to the south. “In Ontario, First Nations parents are sending their children to Thunder Bay to attend secondary school. Many of these children have been murdered.” She ends with the question: “In Canada, a public school education is a government-funded service that is provided for all Canadian children. What is the government doing to provide a safe environment for

First Nations children to pursue their education?” Government leader Carignan cited several figures in response. He said that since 2006 the government has “invested more than $10 billion to support the elementary and secondary education of 117,500 First Nations students on reserves. What is more, between 2006 and 2013, we invested roughly $1.7 billion in First Nations school infrastructure. The government’s own documents, however, released under court order, show that Canada has capped increases on Aboriginal education funding at 2 percent a year since 1995, while increasing its support for provincial (non-Aboriginal) education, social assistance, social services and children’s programs by at least 3 percent a year. With the Aboriginal population group growing faster than any other in Canada, the shortfall in support for Aboriginal children just keeps growing. Nor has Canada provided any new funding for operations and infrastructure maintenance.

Brushstrokes’ unique Art Mosaic supports Youth Unlimited
A Bobcaygeon-based art collective has donated $2,005 to the local Youth Unlimited program through its successful Community Art Mosaic project. Last spring, Brushstrokes of Bobcaygeon distributed one hundred six-inch-by-six-inch canvases to folks of all ages and artistic abilities in the area—plus a few friends farther afield. Among the “artists” were young people from Re:Create 2014, a Youth Unlimited art program directed by Melissa Shepski.

ELECTION
r
Growth versus quality of life as Fenelon candidates debate
The Oct. 24 Fenelon Falls all-candidates meeting pitted full-steam-ahead growth against a more managed approach to maximize quality of life. But quality of life seemed sometimes lacking in the meeting itself, as mayoral candidate Bill Denby and ward 12 candidate Emmanuel Kriticos (speaking from the floor) both made personal insinuations against Denby’s opponent for mayor, Andy Letham. They were quickly shut down by moderator Deb Crossen—and by choruses of outrage from many of the several hundred folks who had come to hear the mayoral and wards 5 and 6 candidates put their best selves forward. The attacks, though, proved the last straw for Letham, who the next day announced he will no longer participate in debates if Denby is present. Mayoral candidates Bill Denby and Brenda Karagiannis pushed hardest for all-out growth. Karagiannis said she will “sell Kawartha Lakes and get Kawartha Lakes working.” She will use her Progressive Conservative connections to work with the province and federal government. She pointed out that she built her Lindsay business from one taxi in 1999 to 30 cabs with 60 drivers now, plus three other separate businesses.
t c e l E KATHLEEN SEYMOUR-FAGAN
Denby, who calls himself a developer, styled the Kawartha Lakes region “the Florida of the North.” He said we have to give people the right to invest and remove the roadblocks to new businesses, but that will require “major changes in senior management” at the city. “If we increase development fees, we may as well shut our doors,” said Denby, referring to the new development charges bylaw, which will raise charges by nearly 400 percent over two years. Other mayoral candidates like Donna Villemaire said that figure still can—and will—be revised downward by a taskforce she proposed and which the current council established in passing the DC bylaw. Villemaire, one of two sitting council members among the five running for mayor, and Letham, who has earlier experience on council, both emphasized an open approach to running the city, with citizen input through advisory committees, and a commitment to valuing staff, and citizens. “We must create a positive work environment where good employees can flourish,” said Letham. John Macklem, the other mayoral candidate, with an extensive business background and experience in municipal councils, including a stint as warden for Victoria County, said he “will screw down spending” and get the city’s deficit under control. “We’ve been borrowing $3 million a year.” Macklem also proposed developing tourism and the arts as an alternative to quarries. Among the candidates for wards 5 and 6 council

seats, both incumbents, Doug Elmslie (ward 6) and Stephen Strangway (ward 5) stood on their records as people who have listened to and worked for their constituents, and helped improve their communities. Audience reaction seemed to suggest their claims had merit. Their opponents implied they could do better. Glenn Woolfrey (ward 6) emphasized his extensive business management experience, while Don Montague (ward 5) aligned his platform with Denby’s. Wesley Baker (ward 5), the youngest candidate by far, called for partnership with Fleming College, where he is studying, to address environmental problems with innovative technologies. On some points, there seemed to be general agreement and promises all around: 1) that Fenelon needs a new bridge and waste-water treatment facility, and 2) that Colborne Street (CKL Rd. 121) must never be a haul route for aggregates. Clearly this election has people stirred up. Strangway said four years ago the Fenelon allcandidates meeting only drew 72 people. This night, the crowd was probably closer to 300.

of most of the 150 plus voters who attended an allcandidates meeting for the Municipality of Trent Lakes at the Buckhorn Community Centre Sept. 22. In fact, they so dominated the questions from the floor, that eventually some disgruntled attendees began calling for other questions to be brought forward. These included concerns about water levels in the TrentSevern system, and water quality in the municipality’s many lakes, the life-blood of the community. Incumbents took a beating at the meeting, including mayoral candidates, incumbent Janet Clarkson and Bev Matthews, currently a councillor but running for mayor, and incumbent deputy mayor Ron Windover, who is also running again. All three said it is beyond the powers of municipal councils to stop quarries, which are a provincial priority. Developers can appeal any negative decision to the Ontario Municipal Board, they said, and the OMB almost always sides with the developer, leaving the municipality footing the bill for a fight they were bound to lose. But that wasn’t good enough for those who came out for the meeting. Clearly, they wanted to see some sign that a new council will go to bat for its many citizens who strongly oppose further aggregate development in the municipality—and specifically against the current Dewdney Mountain Farms quarry, whose bylaw amendment is under appeal by several citizens and is awaiting an OMB ruling. They also raised related concerns about exploration by Valeterra Resources Corporation for

mineable graphite deposits in a 70 square km area just north of Bass Lake. The incumbents stuck to their guns, though, refusing to promise what they felt a municipality cannot deliver. There didn’t seem to be much to choose, other than personal preference, between the mayoral candidates, as both Clarkson and Matthews found themselves agreeing with each other’s positions on several questions. And each seemed to offer an honest, listening, common-sense approach to running the municipality—again, with no promises other than to work hard for their constituents. Ron Windover came under the most fire, as the incumbent deputy mayor running again, who was perceived by the crowd to be a supporter of quarries. His opponents, Peter Franzen and Rick Aube, both

There’s a pile of candidates running for election in the City of Kawartha Lakes. This issue, The Promoter profiles candidates for council in Wards 1 through 8. Next issue, watch for the remaining council candidate profiles, and the all-important mayoral candidates. Don’t forget the Bobcaygeon all-candidates meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 8, from 7 pm. Ward 1 Rob Macklem Rob Macklem has lived, worked and raised a family in the City of Kawartha Lakes for many years. He is the son of the current incumbent John Macklem, who is seeking the mayor’s position in this election. Rob feels there are numerous issues and challenges facing the city and not much has changed for a long time now. He vows to bring “financial realism and everyday common sense” to council. Rob looks forward to working with council to build a better tomorrow for his grandchildren and all residents of CKL. Leslie Mieszkowski Leslie Mieszkowski trained as a graphic designer, and is a long-time area resident and business owner.

Foundation for beautification and other improvements to Coboconk. He looks forward to representing the desires and concerns of the constituents of ward 1 at council. Mieszkowski feels the first goal will be to put aside the individual agendas and ward-centric thinking that have plagued city council in the past. He feels individual councillors need to work together to best serve the interests of the city as a whole. Sandra Southwell Sandra Southwell has worked as a trainer with Loblaws, a personal support worker and home-schooled her special needs son. Southwell cites these varied experiences as giving her the people skills and creativity to think outside the box, skills she would bring to her role as councillor. She chose to run for council because she wanted to teach her son that, if you aren’t happy with your voting choices you should be prepared to stand up and make a difference. Living close to a quarry, Southwell knows how important it is to make sure that when industries arise that affect our environment they are held accountable to government safety standards and environmental regulations. Southwell thinks council needs to do a better job of working together towards a more environmentally conscious and fiscally responsible government. Ward 2 Alison Bowins Alison Bowins has worked and lived in CKL for more than three decades and has called Coboconk her home for the last 13 years. Bowins feels residents need a representative who “is not afraid to get involved and go the extra step to get things done,” a person who, “can take their concerns forward with the intent of success.” She thinks it is time for someone with a different perspective and new ideas to step forward. Bowins describes herself as a “vocal individual,” and promises that
“working hard for the residents, business owners and property owners will be my priority.” Larry Hickman Now semi-retired, Larry Hickman formerly worked in sales with many national and international companies. Throughout his more than 35 year career Hickman was involved with many municipal governments across Canada, which has sparked his interest in serving as councillor. This experience will be valuable in his role as councillor. Hickman says that upon moving to Norland several years ago, he immediately felt like he belonged and was warmly welcomed by residents. He says that if he wins the election he will “represent the residents and land owners of ward 2 with honesty and integrity and also keep in mind the best interests of all residents of the City of Kawartha Lakes.” Steve Katsikaris Steve Katsikaris says his focus will be on environmental issues and

responsible government. He hopes that everyone from the government down can “work together towards excellent and safe water management practices.” Katsikaris says he has been “unjustly persecuted by city council because I have uncovered and reported corruption by city officials. I think that these people must be removed from council and be brought to justice properly.” He also says the provincial police “are not being responsible in protecting citizens and upholding the constitution of Canada.” He promises to“honour my service to the taxpayer by ensuring corporate and special interests do not get a stranglehold on taxpayer money, which is happening now in the City of Kawartha Lakes.” He invites voters to check him out on youtube or at his blog:http:// katsikarissteve.wordpress.com. Emmett Yeo Emmett Yeo, councillor for ward 2 since 2006, says he is running again because of the positive feedback and encouragement he has received from residents. Yeo has been a resident of CKL for almost 40 years, and says his roles as business owner, husband, father and volunteer give him a well-balanced approach to decision making and his role on council. He vows to continue to be “open, transparent and sensible while making decisions that affect the people of our municipality.” He says that, “fostering economic and community development within the whole of CKL will continue to be my focus.” Ward 3 Jim Greensides Jim Greensides believes in a council that is both transparent and accountable to the people, and communicates openly and frequently with the citizens of CKL. Greensides vows to work with council to stop unnecessary spending, help existing businesses and bring new businesses to CKL. He is hopeful that
these measures will allow council to “stop or even reduce property taxes.” Greensides believes that because he has “no political agenda or ties,” he can work solely in the interests of the citizens of CKL. Hafiz Makani Hafiz Makani has been heavily involved in the Kinmount community for over 17 years. He says it is important to give back to a “truly extraordinary community.” Makani wants to make sure ward 3 receives “the resources they need; from economic development and agriculture to engaging the youth.” He says as a resident and business owner he understands the needs of the community and hopes to help implement the ideas of residents efficiently and effectively. He is eager to bring a different perspective to city council. Makani believes he “can use my experience to help others and make a difference not only in ward 3 but also in the city council.” Gord Miller Gord Miller is a local business owner and president of the Waterfront Association. He feels that over 30 years of successful business experience and his family values will give him the skills to make a positive difference. Miller vows to be accessible and listen to the opinions of ward 3 residents on the issues that matter to them. He says he will use common sense to manage community interests “in a committed and responsible way to ensure stability and a positive future for our families and businesses. “ Miller wants to “promote teamwork within council to ensure that decisions are made that use our tax dollars wisely and responsibly. I want to make our community an even better place to live and work. I will be proud to be your voice on City Council.” Ward 4 Debra Adams Did not respond.

Steve Karpazis Steve Karpazis works for Community Care in CKL and says, “we do a terrible job helping out our seniors or anyone with challenges. I’ve seen too many residents in our community hurt by too many poor policies or no policies at all.” This is especially true, he says, in the areas outside of Lindsay. If elected his focus will be on policies that support seniors and people with disabilities in our communities. Karpazis is frustrated with council’s “preoccupation with petty politics [which] has totally ignored the concept of representation,” and promises his “efforts will always put people before politics when dealing with any issues.” Lynda MacEachern Lynda MacEachern has 35 years experience in industry in a variety of roles, from labourer to production co-ordinator. MacEachern is Chair of the local Farm Safety Association and a member of the Rural Volunteer Advisory Group for the Guelph-based Workplace Safety and Prevention Services. She and her husband also run a beef cattle farm. MacEachern hopes her experiences can bring new fresh ideas and a rural agricultural perspective to CKL council. “I want to represent the constituents in ward 4,” she says, “and hopefully give them a voice in council. I realize I am only one voice and one vote but I will do my best to get their cares and concerns brought forward.” Andrew Veale Andrew Veale has always lived in Woodville and has decided to run for city council because he “believes passionately in building stronger communities.” Veale has been involved in numerous committees, community groups and service clubs both in Woodville and the larger City of Kawartha Lakes community. 83 Main St.
He says he will “bring a strong business perspective and vision to council.” Ward 5 Wesley Baker Wesley Baker has lived in the city for 15 years, and is running for council because he believes voters need a change. He wants to give residents another option. Baker is studying environmental technology at Sir Sandford Fleming College because he believes this area needs a better environmental focus. He points out that the college is developing more modern, environmental approaches to waste-water treatment, and the city needs to work with the college. He says his goal will be, “to put all my effort towards the benefit of Ward 5 and not to focus on Lindsay. I will listen,” he adds, “change things up and bring a new agenda.” Don Montague Don Montague decided to run “because of all the debt they have created since we joined Lindsay.” He says that when tax rates go up—“and they always do”—it will cripple the municipality and put a huge stress on property owners. “This debt has to be brought under control.” He says he has many concerns about what the current council has done or not done. “It is disgraceful that all the jobs have gone, factories sit empty.” The buck stops at council, says Montague, for not offering tax breaks or incentives to help those businesses stay. “Nothing was done.” If elected he promises to “work as hard as I can, not waste taxpayers money, be available to the people in my ward, and most of all, pay off this debt and open this place up for business.” Montague is also part of a slate of candidates being promoted by mayoral candidate Bill Denby.

Steve Strangway Steve Strangway, first elected to ward 5 in 2006, says he has worked diligently for the residents of the ward and the City of Kawartha Lakes. “Numerous issues within the ward have been addressed and resolved, hopefully to the satisfaction of residents, and in a timely manner.” Strangway has been a part of city-wide initiatives such as “Doctor Retirement and Expansion of Fenelon Falls and Community Housing.” He says he offers a level of experience and professionalism that will be necessary, as we could have as many as eight new councillors after the election. If re-elected Strangway vows to “push to revisit our strategic plans in order to meet the needs of the community in a responsible and sustainable manner.” Ward 6 Doug Elmslie Doug Elmslie was first elected councillor for ward 6 in 2006. In the past Elmslie, himself a resident of Fenelon Falls, has worked to make many improvements to his ward such as road upgrades, a new arena/community centre, new condos on Francis St., new docks and renovations to the museum. The Business Retention and Expansion project will continue to make changes to Fenelon Falls. In the next four years Elmslie says this will mean upgrades to the waste-water-management system, allowing for two more housing developments to begin, and continuing upgrades to streets and roadways. Elmslie works diligently to move the city’s business forward and will “strive to build bridges and links between diverse groups in order to resolve issues.” Elmslie looks forward to continuing to work with Council and the many great volunteers. Together, he says, “we will make Fenelon Falls and ward 6 a beautiful, prosperous and safe community.” Cody Lawrence Did not respond.. Glenn Woolfrey Glenn Woolfrey is running for councillor because he wants to offer his business expertise, knowledge and leadership to ward 6 and CKL. Never satisfied, he says he is constantly seeking ways to upgrade his knowledge and further his education. Woolfrey says he is “considered to be an analytical, punctual and resultsoriented individual of high integrity. I have a reputation as a diligent worker with enormous energy, but also an innovative thinker and one who is sensitive to the needs of others.” Woolfrey, a former Staff Officer-Communications, and Electronics Engineering Officer in the Armed Forces, has extensive senior management experience and over 40 years in the insurance industry. He feels this experience will service him well as a councillor. Woolfrey promises, “once I have consented to organize a project or fulfill a job I am committed to ensuring the project or job is effectively completed
and is running efficiently.” Ward 7 Steve Clarke With 22 years in Bobcaygeon, Steve (the Barber) Clarke feels “my curiously unique job in the barbershop has put me in the position of hearing opinions and ideas” from residents, workers, business owners, and visitors. He promises “a steady hand on the tiller for the things that are working, and flexibility and imagination for the things that aren’t.” For example: offer a $250,000 prize to university engineering students for a $250,000, one-size-fits-all replacement for CKL’s 110 bridges (many decaying) that can be installed with a crane, fixed with a wrench, carries heavy loads like quarry trucks and has a grill deck for automatic snow clearance. Or revive rail transportation to carry aggregate to Golden Horsehoe markets off CKL roads. Steve posts his own video records of city council and committee meetings on his website. View them and read more about his ideas for“strategic investment and long-term planning” at www.kawarthalakesaltmedia.org. Brian Junkin “We are all in this together,” says Brian Junkin, who still lives on a fifth generation family farm established by Thomas Junkin between Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls in 1853. Retired from the Oshawa General Motors Engineering Centre, he has served one term as councillor for ward 7, and is now seeking his second. Junkin names deteriorating infrastructure, promoting tourism, recreation, and development as the main issues for ward 7, and the city’s challenges as “managing our assets, roads, bridges, buildings and equipment”—all of which, he says, will require major investment to maintain service levels. After his term on council, Junkin feels he now understands the municipal system. “In my past four years, I have been successful in completing 10 infrastructure upgrade projects in ward 7, along with one major project in Bobcaygeon and two rural projects to be implemented in 2015.” John Snider John Snider and his wife moved to Bobcaygeon 27 years ago to raise their family here. He has worked in the auto repair trade for 40 years and owned his own business for 15 years. Snider says he will use his business background to find common sense solutions and help the city to be more financially accountable. He promises to “work diligently to keep taxes at an affordable level by encouraging policies that would bring new development to the city in order to broaden the tax base.” Snider wants to use his technical background “to review the fleet of city vehicles and the management of those vehicles to see if or where efficiencies can be found.” He also vows to “work with all departments to understand the needs and solutions required to move the city forward.”

Ward 8 Mark Edwards Did not respond.. Jay Muchmaker Jay Muchmaker feels the City of Kawartha Lakes is in desperate need of economic development. He thinks it is too difficult to find work, or start or grow a business in CKL. He says CKL “should have more people working and all the spin off benefits we’re seeing elsewhere.” Muchmaker is a father, farmer and entrepreneur, he feels it is this experience that allows him to “see things not only from a business perspective but from a compassionate one as well, which is needed to accomplish very difficult tasks. Getting this city moving in the right direction is certainly one of those difficult tasks.” Michelle Murphy-Ward After working in Toronto for 20 years, Michelle Murphy-Ward relocated to a farm in Little Britain where she has been an active member of the community. Murphy-Ward has shown her enthusiasm for community service by serving as Director of the CKL Humane Society (1 year), President of Valentia Equine Retraining Centre, and a committee member for the celebration of Valentia’s bicentennial. She is also a former member of the Oakwood Lion’s Club, and helped to organize Farmfest. Ward 8 is a diverse community, but Murphy-Ward believes her extensive experience on various committees and boards of directors—through both her career and volunteerism—will help her to serve the community as councillor. Murphy-Ward says these experiences, give her the skills she needs to help make Kawartha Lakes “a strong, economically responsible city.”

John Pollard John Pollard brings years of business experience and expertise with him to his run for council. He points to the sewer issues as an example of delay and expense that cost the city dearly. He says the focus should be on new developments which would lead to job opportunities for residents and result in an increased tax base. He thinks many councillors have been too focused on the interests of their own wards and vows to bring an understanding of all issues affecting all residents of CKL. Pollard says, “I strongly believe the City of Kawartha Lakes needs a new direction and a new level of enthusiasm by all councillors and our entire city staff. We have to install a positive attitude towards development and future growth for our city.”

Fenelon welcomes a new family doctor
Mysteries of deep space come to Caygeon
The mysteries of the solar system, galaxies and indeed the whole universe came to the lobby of Case Manor last month—all under an amazing inflatable dome. Peter McMahon of Ontario Planetarium literally filled the cathedral-ceilinged entrance of the longterm-care home with his 16-foot-diameter, fabric dome, which he inflated to a height of 10 feet with a fan, much like a kids bouncy castle. Inside the portable space, a half-dozen residents at a time were treated to “the vast expanses of interstellar space” with McMahon’s light show of the night skies, projected from a computer and reflected off a mirrored partial sphere to take them roaming amongst the planets and stars. It really is a one-of-a-kind experience as McMahon and his partner, Rick Stankiewicz, take their informal and amazingly informative shows (several options available) to schools, seniors residences, or anywhere there is space to inflate their planetarium—it travels in the trunk of their car. The experience felt almost as magical as visiting a full-size planetarium—and there aren’t many of those around (only nine in all of Canada). In fact, in some ways it was better for being more intimate— inside the dome you don’t really get a sense of how close the ceiling is—it seems light years away. And the Case Manor residents, many of whom have mobility problems, were certainly happy to have it come right to their lobby. “It was interesting; there were a lot of stars,” said resident James Behr. “I didn’t know the sun was

Fenelon Falls has a new family practitioner. Dr. Negin Mastouri will begin practicing this November with Fenelon’s Kawartha North Family Health Team (KNFHT). Dr. Mastouri spent two months training in the City of Kawartha Lakes this year as part of Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative’s Family Medicine Residency program. The Health Care Initiative “is very pleased she has chosen to return to practice family medicine with the Kawartha North Family Health Team.” Fenelon’s new doctor says she is excited about joining the Kawartha North health team as a fulltime physician. In addition to practicing family medicine, she has skills and a great interest in diagnosis and treatment of common skin issues. Dr. Mastouri completed medical school in Iran, including a gold medal and second rank in academic performance. She came to Canada in 2009. She is the 24th family doctor that Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative (KLHCI) has recruited. To register as a patient, contact the KNFHT at 705-887-3531, or visit the office.

Elvis, Roy Orbison, and more at a “Remember the Hits” concert this Saturday, Oct. 4 at Bobcaygeon’s Trinity United Church. Offered in Trinity Hall, the original church dating from 1860, the concert is one of two musical events the church is featuring for the whole community this month. The other is a “Community Hymn Sing” in the church proper, directed by Rev. John Ambrose and slated for Saturday, Oct. 25, at 7 pm. The Hymn Sing will feature favourite hymns and anthems, sung in honour or memory of loved ones. Contact the church office (738-5135) if you’d like to include someone you love, or come out for a great night of music. Free-will offerings appreciated and refreshments available. “Remember The Hits” kicks off 7:30 pm. Tickets (including dessert) are $15 in advance or $20 at the door, children are $5. Purchase them—or reserve a candle-lit table for four—by calling Mary Fedy, 705-738-3272, or at The Source/Bobcaygeon Electronics. Trinity church strives to be a community gathering place, says minister, Rev. Rodney Smith-Merkeley, with a Community Care respite-care program, Bobcaygeon Music Council events, Scouting, a new partnership with Hospice, a Healing Ministry, and now Coffee Talk: “a welcoming space for people to form friendships and supportive community.”
Choristers Corner
Party features Broadway characters—and lots of imagination With their September concert behind them, the Bobcaygeon Choristers joined the Reunion Choir from Fenelon Falls in a charity concert at the Fenelon Falls United Church on Sept. 27. The concert was well attended and the audience was also entertained by stand-up comedian Eddie Burton. Proceeds from the concert were to go towards the life and work of the church. The choristers have moved rehearsals from the Canadian Legion to the hall of the Anglican Church in Bobcaygeon, where the acoustics are better. If you’re passing the church on a Tuesday evening, you may find yourself being serenaded. This year, the choristers’ Annual Summer party was a pot-luck supper at a member’s property on the lake. Members and their significant others dressed as characters from one of our featured Broadway shows. There were characters from The Music Man, Oklahoma and Les Mis. See photographs on the Bobcaygeon Choristers Facebook page.

Golfers help Coby kids for Christmas
Thanks to the Pattie House, there are going to be a lot more happy kids in the Coby area this Christmas. The village eatery held its 2nd annual Charity Golf Tournament on Sept. 13 and raised $1,800 for the Coby Kids at Christmas project. When asked why they organize this tournament every year, co-owner and general manager Tony Boyle said “Kids deserve to have fun and get toys at Christmas. If we can help some Coby families to make this happen, we have reached our goal.” In its inaugural year, the tournament was held at the Links at Monck’s Landing, and this year it was held at Western Trent Golf Club. Each year it will alternate location between the two courses, giving the 48 golfers a bit of variety. The fun golf day was capped off with a delicious roast beef dinner with all the fixings at the Pattie House, where the silent auction continued to raise funds. Coveted auction items included four Blue Jays game tickets in the TD Comfort Zone, and four passes to the Eagles Nest Golf Course.

Horoscopes
Oct. 3 – Oct. 16, 2014 Melodie McCullough
Aries (March 21 to April 20) Don’t be afraid to take time for reflection, Aries. Everyone needs a phase of repose as well as a phase of activity—a balance of the yin and yang. Without its harmony, you may feel lost, exhausted and out of control.
Cancer (June 23 to July 23) One of the least appealing of Cancer’s traits is moodiness. You may have realized this, already, Cancer, in your daily interactions. You may also be inclined to self-pity and, because of a slight inferiority complex, will often brood over insults. We’re not telling you this to make you feel lousy—but it never hurts to know your weak points. In this way, you can work on them, improve them, and not let them control your life.
Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Be careful with your words, Taurus, during this phase. Once spoken, they cannot be taken back, no matter how much you regret them. Think before you speak and your remorse will be less.
Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Perhaps it’s time to sit back on your laurels just a bit, Leo, and bask in the last glorious days of sunshine. You know you’ve been doing a great job lately in just about every aspect of your life—so soak up the warmth.
Gemini (May 22 to June 22) A black car may have great significance for you soon, Gemini. Go with your gut feelings on this one—but don’t let it govern your every move.
Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) A chance encounter during your daily travels may leave you quaking. We suggest a measured response to the exciting possibilities this may open for you, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) According to Aboriginal legend, the October full moon (Oct. 8) is known as the Falling Leaves Moon, a time when Mother Earth is blessed with the grandest of colours. The people become aware of the miracles of creation and their spiritual energies are once again awakened. We invite you, Libra, to experience a similar awakening. This is not the time to let your energy lag. Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Don’t be ashamed to admit that there are some people in your life who cause you distress—and do not become their “emotional sponge”. It’s okay to distance yourself and find refuge. Find positive people who will bring you up, not down. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) What a beautiful time of year. And you, Sag, being the outdoorsy type, are in your glory. The trails are turning tawny; the wildflowers are parading their purples and golds. What’s your excuse? Get out there and smell the (wild) roses. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) “The greatest glory in living lies not in falling, but in rising every time we fall”—Nelson Mandela. Yes, dear Capricorn, we know the tumbles have been happening at an alarming rate, lately. But we also know you have the strength to rise up, and up, and up. Good luck. Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Self-discovery makes life an exciting adventure. During the coming days, Aquarius, try to view each day as an opportunity to find out things about yourself you didn’t know. A hidden talent, an unknown inclination—it’s all there waiting to be experienced. Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Courage is loving yourself. So honour your successes, Pisces. Recognize the value of your achievements. Accept the trials and tribulations as worthy learning experiences. Have courage.

Roots and Ramblings
John Bick, Bobcaygeon & District Horticultural Society Check out these winners in Bobcaygeon’s “Gardens Beautiful 2014” Each year our local Gardens Beautiful Committee recognizes gardeners in the area for their efforts to beautify their—and our—surroundings. This year’s judges: Linda Friend, Diane Tilley and Helen Kaphammel were given a list of nominated gardens prepared by Ruth and Margaret McIsaac. The Commercial Property Award goes to The McBride Family of Green Acres Trailer Park, Pigeon Lake Road. This beautifully landscaped park is enjoyed by seasonal residents, some of whom have been coming here for over 60 years. Peter and Marlene Bandula, at 48 Dunn Street, who added some colourful gardens to their front yard this year, win the Residential Garden Award. Their neighbours, Trudy and Dave Ferguson, at 44 Dunn Street, who excel at displaying and maintaining many attractive and healthy plants in Containers are the winners in that category. To those who promote the local food movement, it is encouraging to discover a food patch on a property. The judges felt that Carol and Peter Eldridge, at 62 McGregor Drive, deserved recognition in the Vegetable category. A special type of gardening is done with Water features. Donna Townley and Ed Blackburn have creatively incorporated water-loving and tolerant plants in mini-ponds on their lovely lot at 15 Patricia Place. It is not always easy for a Community Organization to do plantings in highly visible spaces usually planted and tended by volunteers. This year’s award belongs to Trinity United Church at 44 William Street. The Blue Ribbon Award for 2014 is being handed out to Stan and Colleen Gilpin at 52 Falls Bay Road for the special impact their gardens made on the judges. Thanks to the owners of all the nominated gardens and congratulations to the winners.

Health & Wellness Vaccinate your pet against rabies.
“Rabies is no way for a family pet to die,” says Richard Ovcharovich, Manager of Environmental Health with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. Pet owners can—and really must—get their dogs and cats vaccinated against rabies. So local veterinarians and the Health Unit are offering low-cost vaccination clinics this weekend, on Saturday, Oct. 4. Because of the risks associated with rabies, it is mandatory in this area that pet owners get rabies vaccinations for their dogs and cats. The vaccination status of all domestic dogs and cats involved in animal-bite incidents is checked. Cost for the vaccinations at these clinics is $25 per animal (cash only). Dogs must be on leashes and cats in carriers. No examination of the pet will take place at the clinics. The low-cost rabies vaccination clinics all take place on Saturday, Oct. 4, at the following times and locations: • Bobcaygeon Veterinary Service (2004 County Rd 8), 9 am to noon • Three Island Veterinary Services (115 East St. N., Bobcaygeon), 9 am to noon • Fenelon Animal Clinic (474 County Road 121), 9 am to 1 pm • Kawartha Animal Hospital (130 Angeline St. S., Lindsay), 9 am to 1 pm • Lindsay Animal Clinic (62 Lindsay St. S.) , 9 am to 1 pm • Victoria Veterinary Services (86 Russell St., Lindsay), 9 am to noon • Omemee Veterinary Hospital (128 King St. W., Omemee), 9 am to noon Rabies is a serious virus that attacks the nerves and brain of an animal. People and animals can get rabies by being bitten, scratched or having an open wound licked by a rabid animal. If left untreated, the disease is fatal. For more information about rabies prevention or the upcoming vaccination clinics, contact your local veterinarian, call the Health Unit at (705) 3243569, or visit www.hkpr.on.ca.
Services like this one are usually held close the annual day when Christians remember St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals. Rev. Bob Bettson (Anglican) and Rev. Rodney Smith-Merkley (United) will offer prayers for God’s creation, which is threatened as never before by climate change. The United Nations Climate Summit took place in New York in late September, and the People’s Climate March on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. “We are blessed in Bobcaygeon to be in an area of great natural beauty, relatively free from environmental degradation,” say the ministers. “But our environment too is threatened by development.”
Elect candidates who will support community well-being
Health is about more than health care, says the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit (HKPR ). That’s why it’s launching the #RethinkHealth campaign to coincide with the Oct. 27 municipal election. The #Rethink Health: Root Cause, Real Solutions campaign includes an info package for local candidates, plus a video (see www.youtube. com/HKPRDHU under ‘Issues That Matter’), brochure, web resources, print ads and social media messages directed at voters. Decisions made by local governments, and the services they provide, can greatly affect people’s health in the community. The health Unit is asking voters to keep this in mind when voting in this election.
Get your pets blessed here
God cares for all creation is the message inspiring a service of blessing of pets that Christ Church Anglican and Trinity United will celebrate together at Bobcaygeon’s Beach Park at 4 pm, Sunday, Oct. 5. Dogs on leashes, and cats and other pets in cages, are welcome to join their human companions for a blessing. You may also wish to bring a photograph or other memento to honour pets who have died recently. October 3, 2014 - The Kawartha Promoter 41
“We need to rethink health, and realize it is more than just doctor shortages and hospital emergency room wait times that affect our wellbeing,” says Kristina Nairn, a Social-Determinantsof-Health Nurse with the HKPR. “Our health is also connected to where we live, the opportunities we have, the choices we make, and the decisions made by our government.” In addition to access to health care and services, Nairn says other “root causes” can affect people’s health and well-being. These include: income, housing, education, employment, social support networks, physical activity and healthy child development. “Research shows that people with lower incomes tend to be less healthy,” Nairn says. “By addressing factors like lack of income, we can help more people reach their full health potential.” Municipal governments can: develop a local poverty-reduction strategy; ensure housing options exist for people of all ages, incomes and abilities; support and encourage fair living wages in the community; champion affordable access to recreation; and work towards constructing roads, sidewalks and cycling lanes that encourage safe and active transportation. “When people are healthier, they are better able to contribute to their community in time and taxes, and to make it a more vibrant place to live and work,” says Nairn. “A healthier community can also result in reduced costs for policing, social
assistance, housing and health care.” The Health Unit is also urging candidates elected on Oct. 27 to consider “health equity” in any decisions they make on municipal council. “Health equity means ensuring we all have the opportunity to reach our full health potential,” Nairn adds. For more, call the Health Unit at 1-866-888-4577 or visit www.hkpr.on.ca.
Habitat seeks partner families for home ownership in Lindsay
Habitat for Humanity is accepting applications from families in the City of Kawartha Lakes who want to become Habitat homeowners. Habitat plans to build two homes on Hamilton Street in Lindsay, with construction to begin next spring. The Homeownership Program makes affordable housing accessible to families who may not qualify for a conventional mortgage. They must demonstrate a need for affordable housing, be willing to partner with the organization, earn a stable income of $30,000 to $57,000, agree to perform 500 “sweat equity” hours, and attend workshops on financial management and home maintenance. Find more information and applications online at www.habitatpkr.ca, at the Habitat ReStore, 50 Mary St. W., Lindsay, or by calling 1-855-750-1456.
