From My Perch

It happens every election time. Candidates find some of their signs and posters defaced or stolen. Sometimes it’s just “teenagers on a joyride straight to hell,” as my brother used to say about himself, and me. But often it’s a deliberate subversion of the electoral process, somebody trying to give their candidate a leg-up by ruining or removing a rival’s signs. It may seem innocent enough, just a little electoral gamesmanship. Politics is a dirty business, we say. But even the smallest attack on our fragile democracy is a step in the wrong direction. Steve Clarke, Andy Letham and Donna Villemaire have all reported signs stolen or defaced in this municipal election. “I had one sign on Main Street cut into several pieces and left at the corner of Main and Duke Streets,” Clarke, a CKL Ward 7 candidate, told us. “And

Australians Kathie Schmah and Anne Hansom have spent the summer travelling the waterway on their houseboat, “Down Yunder.”

about 10 have been stolen.” CKL mayoral candidate Letham says he had “a bunch of signs cut up with a knife” south of Lindsay. And Donna Villemaire, also running for mayor, says she has lost 25 to 30 signs. “They’re not even left in the ditch, so we could reuse them.” If we had time to contact every candidate, we’d likely find others have had similar experiences. Of course there are bigger and badder fish to fry out there. Think of the 2008 robocall scandal in at least six federal ridings, and allegations of campaign overspending in neighbouring Peterborough (still before the courts). Prime Minister Stephen Harper is systematically attacking democracy with cuts to information sources like the census and research, and the recent “Fair Elections Act,” which will discourage voting among youth, the elderly, Indigenous and low-income people. Let’s support democracy—not subvert it. We need it—badly.

Top of Main Street wants fair play

We attended the display presentation regarding the reconstruction of Main Street in Bobcaygeon (see Rebuilding North Caygeon Streets A Major Disruption on pg. 6), and submit the following for your consideration. Whoever drafted the proposal has obviously NEVER walked the streets of Bobcaygeon. This conclusion on our part has been reached on the following basis: • Main Street does not end at Duke Street even though council in Lindsay thinks it does. • This portion (Duke Street to East Street) of Main has the most dangerous sidewalk and unsafe road conditions. • There are 14 single-family, property-tax-paying residences on this portion of Main Street. • The tax paying residents of this portion of Main Street also deserve a safe sidewalk and road. In fact, we DEMAND it. James & Patricia Hardy Bobcaygeon

Firefighters in osprey rescue business

I felt it would be of interest to you that this past Sunday morning, two firefighters rescued another osprey, this time in Tommy Anderson Park. It was a young one whose nest is in the park and somehow it got into the small wire fenced-in enclosure containing some equipment and could not fly up and out. Thankfully, we have firefighters who will respond—and quickly—to save wildlife. One of the firefighters was involved in the rescue of another

We need the food bank

It is outrageous that our Bobcaygeon Food Bank may be closing its doors, when there are so many of us in need of the food bank to survive. Many of us are on a pension, and by the time we pay our rent, hydro, water bills, we have very little money left to buy our food at the outrageous prices in the grocery stores. There are many young people with children (babies). They need to buy diapers, formula and food for their children and themselves. How will they do it now? The food bank helped us all. We people who are on a pension or limited income walk around the grocery stores looking at everything to see what we can buy and if we have enough money in our pockets to pay for our food. We do the best we can to survive for the month— and this is every month. And now what about our Christmas hamper? We hope it has not been taken away from us, and from the children, or it won’t be a very good Christmas for many of us. We are people too. We do have our rights. Just because we live below the poverty line, doesn’t mean we all have to suffer. I sincerely hope something can be done to keep our food bank open. Barbara Smith Bobcaygeon

osprey last week. They cut the wire, lifted the osprey out, set it on the ground. It eventually flew up to the top of a light pole, exhausted and stressed out, then eventually to another pole, then finally to its nest. Its sibling had been flying around, and its parents were watching from a tree. Once the young one was safe, the parents swooped over the firefighters, as though in thanks. A big thank you to them from me too.

I would like to thank all my friends and family that have helped me out during this time.

Bobcaygeon rules for helping Sophie

On Aug. 17, the Lakes Community Church in Bobcaygeon decided to hold an outdoor concert to raise money for Sophie Dinsdale, a little girl not yet two who is fighting cancer with everything she has. We had a great variety of music from Lindsay and Bobcaygeon and each one gave their time to

help this little princess and to raise as much money as we could. Thanks go to Foodland for all the food and beverages, to Valumart for all those extra items needed and Kawartha Dairy for the wonderful Ice Cream. Our community is one of the best, and they all came together to give this little girl a hug and to support her family. Sophie was there to enjoy some fun and also one of our mayoral candidates, Brenda Lee Karagiannis, came along to support the efforts of this group of people. It was a wonderful evening and so far we have raised $3,400. We have not closed the donations so if you would like to give, please call the church 705-731-0247 or Pastor Yvonne Kendrick at 705-738-5524 for more details. Once again, thank you Bobcaygeon.

Rebuilding North Caygeon streets a major disruption

There are 14 homes in the last block of Main Street between Duke and East streets, and residents there want to know why they’re being left out of a planned rebuilding of six roads in the north end of Bobcaygeon. Those who consider north Caygeon home, and those who run businesses there, came out in force— and with lots of questions and concerns—when the City of Kawartha Lakes unveiled a proposal to rebuild Anne, Front, Helen, Main, Prince and Duke Streets at an Aug. 28 information session in the Bobcaygeon Council Chambers. Among their concerns: • Why will Main Street only be reconstructed to Duke and not as far as East Street?

• There is no need for a bicycle lane on the east side of Main Street. • The work must be done in the off-season so as not to disrupt business along Main and Front Streets during the all-important summer months. • Parking is vitally important to businesses, who say they need it on both sides of Main Street—plus a parking lot in the road allowance at the end of Prince Street. A drive along Main will show that all of it badly needs resurfacing, not just below Duke Street. (See Top of Main Street wants fair play, in Village Voice.) CKL’s manager of engineering Juan Rojas said the purpose of the information session is to collect feedback from those affected, which will be considered as plans are revised. But the final decision will be council’s. Business owners in particular pleaded that construction avoid the crucial summer months to avoid debilitating loss of income. “We do all our business in July and August,” said a representative of Southwinds Resort and Marina on Front Street. But all the work has to take place during the limited construction season between May and October, said Rojas. “You can’t put asphalt down when it’s cold.” He did say the city would schedule work around the Front Street boat launch for the off season. There also seemed agreement that extra parking is preferable to the suggested bicycle lane on the east side of Main Street. At least one village cyclist suggested there is not enough traffic on Bobcaygeon streets to require bike lanes. CKL plans to rebuild the six Rokeby streets “to an

urban city standard,” adding curbs and gutters as well as storm sewers and a sidewalk on at least one side of each street. That will mean major jack-hammering. Workers will start construction next spring and continue over three seasons, ending in 2017. Front and Anne Streets will be done during 2015, as you have to have the storm sewer outlet in place before you begin constructing the upstream sewers, said Rojas. Prince and Helen streets are scheduled for 2016, and Main and Duke streets will be done in 2017. It’s part of a five-year roads plan ratified by Council in 2012, said Rojas. He explained the city’s annual roads budget is approximately $16 million a year, and $1.5 million a year is expected to go to the Bobcaygeon project. The city has engaged D.M. Wills Associates Ltd. to do a Class Environmental Study, and to prepare the detailed design of the proposed reconstruction.

songwriter Sue Smith and spoken word artist Jonathan Lynn combined their talents to entertain a sell-out audience of CFRAD supporters. CFRAD mounted the concert in the Murphy Barn at Kawartha Settlers Village. The money will help offset legal costs of challenging zoning issues at the Ontario Municipal Board for the Dewdney Mountain Farms quarry proposal in the Municipality of Trent Lakes. The largeby-local-standards quarry is slated for development on Ledge Road about 10 km northeast of the village of Bobcaygeon.

CFRAD fundraiser shows community support

Citizens for Responsible Aggregate Development (CFRAD) showed the depth and breadth of the community support for its position when the group’s musical fundraiser, Limestone Blues, raised over $9,000 on Saturday, Aug. 23. “Good things happen when a community comes together for a place we love—the Kawarthas,” said Janet Klein, one of the appellants opposing the bylaw change that would allow the quarry. “The music and silent auction was over the top and your support for us will never be forgotten,” she said in an email on behalf of appellants, the Kleins, Pillsworths, Eastmans, Jorys and Johnsons.

Some Ledge and Quarry Roads residents have been opposing the quarry, specifically based on the anticipated truck traffic, noise and dust on their until-now quiet back road, and environmental considerations. Significant public opinion has coalesced to support them in the formation of CFRAD, with other objections, including increased truck traffic through Bobcaygeon itself, environmental damage, including affects on endangered species (blandings turtles and whippoorwills), and negative impact on winter deer yards, First Nations harvesting rights, and local water quality.

OMB hearings have run over the summer, ending Aug. 19. A decision is expected soon from hearing chair Colin Hefferon. “CFRAD will continue to fight to protect our unique, beautiful and fragile environment, to maintain road safety, and ensure a secure community, and to protect and grow our tourismand retirement-based economy,” said organizer Elaine Bird. “These critical factors make living in the Kawarthas, and around Bobcaygeon in particular, such a wonderful experience.” The organization is also preparing guides— available soon—to inform voters in the next municipal election, about candidates’ positions around responsible aggregate development.

Northern Leisure Marine is Garry Clark’s dream

Garry Clark is living the dream. After years of working in the highstress corporate world of Toronto-based telecommunications, he has finally been able to leave the city for the cottage. “I’ve been a local cottager here all my life,” says Garry, who is the new owner-operator of Northern Leisure Marine at Taylor Street and County Road 36 on the northern edge of Bobcaygeon. “It’s been a passion of mine to own and run a marina, and now I have the chance to do it.” Garry is gearing up for the hectic boat-storage season. “We’re offering fall pick-up and spring delivery, and all boats are stored on our premises, on a fullyfenced and serviced lot, complete with security cameras, he explains. Boaters have the option of either covered, or outside, shrink-wrapped storage. As an avid and long-time boater and cottager on Big Bald Lake Garry believes he knows just what cottagers need in terms of boats, motors, docks, storage, servicing—and even furniture. Garry bought the marina at 21 Taylor Street, which locals

will know as the earlier home of Corky’s Marine and Small Engine Service, and launched Northern Leisure Marine last May. He is determined—as both owner and operator—to bring back the quality of service the late, and sorely missed Corky was once well-known for. Northern Leisure Marine is a full-service operation, Garry emphasizes. It’s the exclusive Kawartha Lakes dealer for aluminum, Canadian-made Legend Boats (everything from fishing boats to pontoon boats), as well as for the user friendly, do-it-yourself Dock-in-a-Box docks and boat lifts. Theshowroomalsofeatureshighend rattan furniture, hammocks and, of course, a multitude of the most-needed boating accessories. “We have a licensed Mercury mechanic who can fix all makes of engines on duty,” he says, and it’s a family affair too. “My two sons, Mack, 18, and Mitchell, 15, have both been helping out for the summer. “We have a lot family living in the area now, so Bobcaygeon has become our second home,” he adds with a smile.

The wonders from ‘Down Yunder’

Who knew that the middle of a life-long Australian dream would be in Bobcaygeon? That’s where retirees, Kathie Schmah and Anne Hanson, have found themselves at the end of this summer of 2014, as they complete the first half of a twoyear project to boat the length of the Trent-Severn Waterway together.

G if t Ce r t i fi c ate s Availab l e 12 September 5, 2014 - The Kawartha Promoter

Kathie Schmah was a valley girl (the Ottawa valley, that is), and Anne Hanson was born and raised in northeast England. But as young adults, they both ended up in western Australia, near Perth—South Yunderup, to be exact. “We’re Australians now,” they assert happily, even though their accents still bear more than a trace of their homelands. They met one another there, and eventually went into business, putting their heads together—and even their names—to create Kannie Properties, buying, selling, renovating and managing properties. Along the way, they’ve returned often to Canada, where Kathie still has lots of family, and even kept a trailer on the Rideau Canal system, with a small pontoon boat. A casual discussion about “what’s next” after life on the Rideau, led the two friends to sell their trailer and pontoon boat, and look for a houseboat. We finally found one we could afford in Honey Harbour, says Anne, and we bought it last fall. We came back this May, and began getting it modified to suit our needs.” They named their boat the “Down Yunder,” after their home town—and of course a play on the reference to Australia as “the land down under.” Modifications included adding: a power-lift system for the anchor, a tent-like enclosure to the upper deck to accommodate more guests, and a ramp at the back for loading and unloading the electric scooter that carries the two of them around the towns they visit. From Honey Harbour on Georgian Bay, they’ve made it to Bobcaygeon this year—they’re in no rush—and will be back next year to finish the journey. Their boat will spend the winter at Happy Days. Both Kathie and Anne are enthusiastic about the wonderful community of boating people they’ve become part of along the way, where people are always willing to help one another out. Then there was the lockmaster at

an isolated lock who lent them his own car so they could drive to the nearest store to get teabags. They’ve also entertained friends and family from Canada, England and Australia, who have joined them on their boat from time to time. Altogether, with repeats, they will have had about 25 guests on board at one time or another. In total, they have managed about three weeks alone together. But they are happy with the balance. Watch for Anne and Kathie in the Bobcaygeon area during the next couple of weeks, either on the Down Yunder or riding tandem around town on their little electric scooter. And be sure to say hello.

Hi-Tech is tops at high school

New technology rather than new clothes tops the list of purchases that has students revved up this year as they gear up for back to school. Just 11 percent of students surveyed said they look forward to showing off their new fashion choices, while 53 percent said they’re excited about using and sharing technology with friends when they head back to school this fall. “What surprised us most was, that along with laptops and smartphones, which have been hot items for several years now, a full third of students see headphones as a back- to-school essential. “And a quarter said they plan to use tech to help them stay fit,” said Melanie Raposo, tech expert at The Source, the Canadian electronics retailer that commissioned the survey. Three-quarters of the students polled ranked laptops as a must-have this school year. Seventy per cent said a smartphone was a back-to-school essential, while 30 percent identified headphones as must-have gear.

“Fashion has traditionally been considered a backto-school essential but the students we surveyed said they were more excited about technology,” said Raposo. “They told us they want technology for traditional tasks like researching and completing assignments but they’re also looking to stay connected and entertained.”

Bobcaygeon Cruisefest will once again be offering a three-dimensional history of the automobile on Sept. 14 with up to 250 vehicles on display—all ages, from the early 1900s up to a 2002 Corvette. Cruisefest offers 25 trophies to the entrants, with prizes for things like: the oldest car, the car from farthest away, people’s choice, the best of a certain make or model, the best half-ton, the fanciest hotrod, etc. “It gives people a chance to see how cars have evolved over the years,” says organizer Joe Pollard. “And the people who bring their vehicles almost always have something very interesting to show off.” He adds that folks will often spend up to five years restoring their vehicles, and some will bring theirs back year after year so viewers can follow the car’s (and owner’s) progress. “People can invest up to $60,000 or $70,000 in restoring their old cars.” Joe expects 500 or more people will come through the gates at the Bobcaygeon fairgrounds during the course of the day to admire the cars on display. The show is open to the public from 9 am to 3 pm. Admission is by donation, with a specific $10 fee for anyone who wants to show off their vehicle. But Joe says they’ll make that back in the gift bag that every exhibitor gets, courtesy of the show’s many sponsors.

“It wouldn’t be a car show without our sponsors. It takes a lot of money to put on a show like this, and we get a lot donated by the people in town. So thanks to them.” Besides the cars themselves, Cruisefest will also have over a dozen vendors offering everything from food (sausages, hamburgers, pulled pork), to car parts, dog food, and even high-quality, custom photographs of the cars on display. The fire department will also be on hand with displays and demonstrations. “We’re hoping we can get more young people interested in this fascinating history,” says Joe.

SRO at Coby’s allcandidates meeting

Aggregate mining, attracting small business, tourism, water quality, and property taxes seemed to be the main questions on people’s minds when a full house turned out for an all-candidates meeting at the Coboconk Lions Hall on Monday, Aug. 25. All five Mayoral candidates and four Ward 2 Council candidates showed up and responded to questions from concerned local residents and cottagers. The Lions Hall was overflowing into the foyer and out the doors with people wanting to participate. The community sent a clear message that this election is important to them—both through their attendance and their questions, said Jennifer Wilson, General Manager of the Chamber of Commerce. “The Coboconk, Norland & Area Chamber of

Norland church celebrates police/fire/ ems

Norland United Church is holding its third annual “Celebrate Their Service” service for police, fire, and emergency medical service personnel on Sunday, Sept. 14, beginning at 11:15 am. “As a small community church in Norland, we had for some time wanted to have a special service to celebrate and show our appreciation for the dedication of these service personnel,” says church secretary Pamela Brohm. Church members initiated the service in 2011 and “it was such a success that we decided to make it an annual event,” she explains. Representatives from the three services (police, fire, ems) attend and visitors are warmly welcomed as well. As is tradition with most church functions, members will provide luncheon afterward for all who attend, with a special cake decorated to honour the three services. Norland United Church is at #7521, Hwy 35, in Norland.

Student entrepreneurs test their chops

Lindsay Collegiate student Taylor King took home $500 for his business plan to set up an electrical contracting service that he called, appropriately enough, King Electric. Taylor is one of eight city high school students who were honoured Aug. 19 for business plans they submitted in a local competition sponsored by The Kawartha Lakes Small Business & Entrepreneurship Centre (KLSBEC). Other winning business plans included web design, entertainer, bakery, dance instruction/studio. KLSBEC invites all four local high schools to compete every year, and this year’s winners included: • Taylor King of Lindsay Collegiate Vocational Institute (LCVI) won top honours and $500. • The First Runner-Up was Matthew Hutchinson of IE Weldon Secondary School. • Second Runner-Up was a team effort from IE Weldon, including Saffiya Kherraji, Carter Gooch, Eldin Atkin and Michelle Evans.

• Honourable Mention Awards were presented to Leah Wilson of Fenelon Falls Secondary School and Sydney Murchison of LCVI. LCVI also received a plaque recognizing the most student submissions in this year’s competition. “We’ve been running this annual competition since 2003 and have had students show off their talent for developing business ideas and expressing them by writing a very comprehensive business plan,” said Diane Steven, Manager of KLSBEC. “It is so satisfying to see the enthusiasm coming from the students and the possible beginnings of a young entrepreneur.” Each year KLSBEC visits all the high schools in the City of Kawartha Lakes to encourage students to test their skills in research and planning in business development. The competition is open to high school students from Grades 9 to 12, and the potential prizes are an added incentive. KLSBEC is an arm of the Economic Development Department of the City of Kawartha Lakes that provides information and tools to help entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses.

Not even safe on the street anymore

A busker playing his guitar on Lindsay’s Kent Street between William and Cambridge streets was robbed on Saturday afternoon, Aug. 23. To add insult to injury, say Lindsay Police, the victim was performing to collect money for the Humane Society. While the busker was busy playing his guitar, a passerby kneeled over the guitar case as if to deposit money, but instead scooped out a large quantity of the coins and bills already donated by others, and fled on foot. The incident took place around 1 pm, and police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the robbery to contact them, or Crime Stoppers.

Kent Street parking lot goes pay and display

The off-street parking lot located behind Lindsay’s CIBC on Kent Street West will be closed from Tuesday, Sept. 2 until Wednesday, Sept. 17 for resurfacing. During the closure all of the parking meters will be removed and replaced with a Pay-&-Display machine.

concert at 3 pm on Sept. 14 at Trinity United Church. Bob has a strong Salvation Army background, and his music career flourished over the years with the organization. When he retired to Bobcaygeon we considered ourselves very lucky that he found us. He endured ill health for a few months, and the choristers took a reprieve, but he’s back, full of vim and vigour. Here are a few more interesting facts about some of our choristers which we would like to share with you: Ron King is a very familiar face around the village. He taught elementary school for 35 years, 25 of them as a principal, in Bobcaygeon, Omemee and Fenelon Falls. He is a lay minister and leads church services at Pinecrest, Case Manor and Kawartha Suites. Ron and his wife, MaryAnn, are volunteers with Sleeping Children Around the World, a Canadian charity, and have travelled with the organization to Uganda, Calcutta, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. He hails from the tenor section of the choir and also sings in the Anglican Church choir. Bob Bettson is a relative newcomer to the Choristers, as he is to Bobcaygeon, where he is the Minister at Christ Anglican church on Sherwood Street. He comes latterly from Toronto, and before that from Sarnia. He has sung as a tenor in many church choirs, large choirs like the Calgary Philharmonic Chorus and also the Amadeus choir. To add to all this, he is a journalist into the bargain. He and his wife have four children and four grandchildren to keep them busy. Doreen Crozier is a staunch member of the Choristers, and also belongs to the Anglican church, where she sings alto. Doreen loves crafts and knits prayer shawls and other useful objects. She volunteers at the Outreach Breakfasts where the profits are used to send underprivileged youth in other countries to school. Although not an original member I would think she is the oldest in the Bobcaygeon Choristers and loves every minute of it. There seems to be an Anglican church theme here so I just had to add one more person: Debbi Risebrough from the alto section has

worked as office manager with the Investors Group for 23 years. Relaxation Kneaded, which offers mobile chair massage, is her business and she also teaches and coaches semantic movement exercises. Debbi is one busy lady and has two children and three grandchildren, with another on the way, to keep her busy. A few years ago, Debbi directed the bell choir at the Anglican church.

Horoscopes

Sept. 5 - Sept. 19, 2014 Melodie McCullough

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Each zodiac sign has a quality assigned to it–cardinal, fixed and mutable. You, Aries, are a cardinal sign and this means you have lots of initiative, movement and vitality. So don’t just sit there. Get up and go. Use some of that liveliness and do something positive this very day. Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Did you know you share your zodiac sign with Catherine the Great of Russia and Queen Elizabeth II of England, both of whom are significant figures in world history? Perhaps, you, too, Taurus, are destined for greatness. Imagine yourself walking throughout the day with a crown on your head. You’ll be amazed at yourself.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) If things are not going well with a love interest, Geminis have been known to become bored and impatient and end the relationship. Don’t let this happen now. Take the time, initiative and energy to revitalize the partnership yourself, Gemini. You will not regret it. Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Many things are appearing vague to you right now, Cancer, and you need to clear these uncertainties up before you can move ahead with important tasks that require your full concentration, especially at work. Don’t delay.

For the THRILL of the hunt....

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) You are so very special, Leo. Your calmness, your integrity, your generosity of spirit endears you to all good people. You deserve the best life has to offer. Our advice? Please realize how dear you are. Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Encouraging self-talk can be one of the best stress-reducing techniques and resources of inner strength. You don’t need to always be recognized by others and dependent on them for praise. Try to have a daily conversation with yourself. Trust your own voice, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) We sense an obsession has taken hold of you, dear Libra. You must learn to let this go, or at least find other interests to quell some of this unhealthy preoccupation. Move on, while you still can. Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) “I always try to balance the light with the heavy—a few tears of human spirit in with the sequins and the fringes”—Bette Midler. Wise words from a classy lady, Scorpio; maintain the equilibrium. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) An old flame is about to re-enter your life, Sag. Be careful where this may lead. Take tiny steps. Remember, you cannot always recreate the past—but it might be worth a try. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) The asters and goldenrods are turning the fields around us into panoramas of yellow, white and purple; the Virginia Creepers and Sumacs give us glorious reds and purples. It’s the season of mellowing, of unwinding and lessening. Appreciate this beautiful time, dear Capricorn, and follow its example. Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) The Great Square of Pegasus rules the September sky, as one of the largest constellations. In Greek mythology, Pegasus, the winged horse flew to Mount Helicon and created a spring named Hippocrene—“the horse’s fountain”—by striking the ground with his hoof. It was said that those who drank from the spring were blessed with the gift to write poetry. So how about it, Aquarius? Time to put those lovely thoughts of yours into poetry and share them with the world.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) The full moon on Sept. 8 represents the cycle of life to the indigenous people of this land. It is known as the Harvest Moon and Corn Moon. Each cob has 13 rows of seeds which represent the spirits waiting to begin their Earth Walk. These are the future generations for whom we must prepare. Pisces, are you thinking of your children and grand-children to come? Are you guarding the environment for them? This is something to think about.

Health & Wellness Don’t be queen of the Nile Virus

West Nile virus has been detected for the first time in the area this summer, and the local health unit is urging residents to “fight the bite” of mosquitoes that can spread the disease. Lab results received by the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit on Monday, Aug. 25, confirm that a batch of mosquitoes collected in Lindsay the previous week tested positive for West Nile Virus. “West Nile virus is officially here, so it’s important that everyone take precautions and fight the bite of mosquitoes that can spread the virus to people,” says Christopher Beveridge, Director of Environmental Health with the HKPR District Health Unit. It’s the first trace of West Nile virus detected this year in the Health Unit’s region, which includes the City of Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland County and Haliburton County. As of August 16, across Ontario, 11 batches of mosquitoes had tested positive for West Nile virus this year. Across the province, one probable human case of West Nile virus had also been reported—in the Simcoe-Muskoka region. “There is never a good time or reason to be bitten by mosquitoes, and that’s especially true as we enter the peak season of West Nile Virus activity in late August and September.” The Health Unit reminds people to reduce their risk of West Nile Virus. They suggest that you:

• Cover up when outside by wearing light-coloured clothing such as long-sleeved shirts, jackets, long pants, hats and socks, especially between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active; • Apply federally-registered insect repellent on exposed skin (such as products containing DEET) to limit exposure to mosquitoes; • Clean up and remove any standing water around homes, cottages or campsites. Mosquitoes need stagnant water to lay their eggs, and even small amounts will do, such as that found in bird baths, old tires and unused containers of any size; • Keep bushes and shrubs clear of overgrowth and debris, as adult mosquitoes like to rest in dense shrubbery; • Turn your compost piles regularly; and • Make sure homes and businesses are “bug tight,” with windows and door screens that fit well and do not have holes. While most people who get West Nile Virus do not experience any symptoms, a small number of individuals may develop flu-like symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, muscle weakness and stiff neck. In a few cases, people may develop more severe symptoms, including confusion, tremors and sudden sensitivity to light. People who suspect they have West Nile Virus should seek immediate medical attention. For more information, call the Health Unit at 1-866-888-4577 or visit www.hkpr.on.ca.

Community Care Helping folks get ‘home at last’

At some point, almost all of us have used the phrase: “Ah, home at last!” A free program provided by Community Care is designed to ensure that local residents enjoy the comfort of being home at last. For more than five years, Community Care’s Home At Last (HAL) program has helped people get settled following a hospital stay. Usually clients are frail or elderly and have been hospitalized for a significant health reason, and are now ready to go back home. However, that process can be challenging, especially if people do not have family or caregivers readily available. If the hospital stay has been a long one, coming home to an empty house may not

be so easy, either. Community Care works with local health partners such as Ross Memorial Hospital and the Central East Access Centre to help discharged patients who are ready to leave the hospital, but who might face barriers to a smooth transition. HAL’s services can start with driving or accompanying the patient home through our volunteer transportation program or wheelchair accessible services. Once home, an agency personal support worker (PSW) can pick up medications and groceries, provide a light meal or some meal preparation, as well as perform some light homemaking services—all with the goal of making the settlement comfortable and easy. HAL can also include follow-up with clients to check on their wellbeing, and provide referrals to other support services available in the community.

Not only does the HAL program ensure comfort, reassurance and safety for the client who has been through a significant experience, but it provides peace of mind for family members who may not be nearby at the time of discharge. For further information about Home At Last or any programs that Community Care provides to help people live comfortably at home, visit www.ccckl.ca, or call 705-324-7323.

Caregivers the backbone of the health care system

Caregivers—the people who help a family member or friend with needs related to aging, a disability or a long-term condition—are “the invisible backbone of the health care system.” One way that we at Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes (CCCKL) like to recognize and support caregivers is by giving them the opportunity to tell their own stories, in their own words— so others can know they are not alone in their challenges. Many people in our community have amazing stories and experiences to pass along. If you’re a caregiver—or you know one—who’d like to participate in the story telling project, CCCKL provides a template for written submissions of up to 500 words. The Promoter and other local media have agreed to assist in selecting and publicizing some stories. Stories will also be published in the agency newsletter and on its website. Telling your story will be good for you and for others. CCCKL has developed an extensive caregiver support system. Twice a month we offer Caregiver Support Groups. These sessions are free for any caregiver to attend and provide the opportunity to

September 5, 2014 - The Kawartha Promoter 37

connect with others who share similar experiences, to explore the challenges of care giving, and to get advice on looking after yourself as well as a loved one. On the first Wednesday of the month, we offer the “Take Care” session in Fenelon Falls. This session is an open group for people caring for someone, regardless of the specific health condition or stage of illness. On the second Wednesday, we run the “Caring With Confidence” session in Lindsay, for people caring for someone with a terminal or lifethreatening illness. For further information on Community Care’s Caregiver Support program, contact 705-324-7323, or www.ccckl.ca .

They’re not weeds; they’re food and medicine

John Bick, Bobcaygeon & District Horticultural Society

With this summer’s rains and moderate temperatures, local gardens have been doing well. So are the weeds – those unwanted plants that seem to defy all our efforts to eradicate them. But are they really all that bad ?

For centuries, Indigenous peoples have known that what we call weeds are a rich source of food and medicine. Here are a few examples. Dandelion - The most hated plant in North American suburbia was actually one of the most revered in medieval Europe and Asia as a fresh salad ingredient. Herbalists claim that the root juice can alleviate diabetes and liver diseases. Lamb’s Quarters - Grown as a commercial food crop in Central America, it can be steamed as a tasty green. Valued as a nutritional potherb across Europe, it is used as animal fodder in parts of Asia. Pineapple Weed - Used traditionally by Native North Americans to relieve stomach ailments and heal sores, it was also an insect repellent, perfume, and preservative. Plantain - High in Vitamin A, its edible leaves are used in Europe as a cough, cold, bronchitis remedy. Shepherd’s Purse - Cultivated and eaten in Japan, China, and Korea, it is used in traditional Austrian medicine to treat skin disorders and cardiovascular problems. Stinging Nettle - Eaten like spinach, the leaves must be blanched to remove the sting. It is used to treat arthritis, as a blood purifier and an ingredient in anti-dandruff products. White Clover – Add the young leaves to a soup to make a healthy tonic. So, instead of getting stressed out about the weed patch in your yard, learn to appreciate that you are just providing a haven for some of the oldest sources of medicine and food in the world.
