A TALE OF TWO

By Max Miller

Sunday January 27, I attended a Celebration of Life for Lauren Kelly, a beautiful young woman who tragically left us far too soon. Hundreds of people were there at the Community Centre in Fenelon Falls; friends and family flew in from thousands of miles away. There were tears and laughter, pictures and music. Such an outpouring of love for one known for her talents, beauty, intelligence and warmth.

As I was leaving, lost in my own thoughts, thinking of Lauren and her family, I overheard two boys on top of a pile of snow saying, “Let’s get Grandma!”

It didn’t occur to me that they meant me.

I also thought they were just throwing snowballs. Several flew past.

Then one whizzed by my head. That’s when I told them they should be careful or they could hurt someone.

The larger boy approached me, picked up a chunk of ice and hurled it at me, calling me an old, ugly, gray haired Grandma, as if to justify his actions. The ice struck my leg.

I froze. I didn’t know what to do.

I couldn’t go back and interrupt the proceedings. There was no one else around.

I couldn’t help but think of the contrast between the bright young girl we mourned surrounded by love, and these nasty, mean little boys.

Do these boys also pick on others that they view as weak and unworthy like smaller children and animals? Is this what they learn at home? Is this how their parents treat them? Do they know they crossed the line from bullying to assault?

How I wanted to say the perfect thing to make them understand. I thought of telling them of Lauren and all the people there for her just steps away. Nothing came to mind. I even considered standing there so that they could throw more ice until I bled… perhaps that would convince them.

But I left, thinking of Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”

Over the years that I have lived in this area, we have lost too many of our young people. Some I knew, more I heard about, and a few very close to my heart. The way this community steps up with love and support is truly wonderful.

Perhaps out there someone can find these two boys and show them how to share that community spirit.

Awesome Service

Early in the morning of Jan 20 during the high winds, lightning and thunder, we were awakened by a rattling sound on the roof of our home. The rattling lasted for a few moments and then subsided.

At daybreak I went outside to discover that the noise on the roof was our whirly gig roof vent had self destructed in the wind leaving an 8-inch hole open to the elements. What to do on a Sunday with a snow covered roof and an open hole?

I went to The Promoter for a contracting representative. First call was to Gopher Construction services; she quickly called back but was unable to do the job due to a prior job. She referenced Midtown Roofing services. A call to Daryll at Midtown Roofing services 10 am and he said he would be over at noon to seal the hole. He arrived at 11:30, commenced the repair without hesitation.

We cannot express our appreciation enough to Daryll of Midtown Roofing services who came out in adverse conditions to keep us dry. Kudos to excellent service Midtown Roofing.

The Fenelon Falls and District Lions Club would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support throughout the past year. Your generosity has allowed us to help children’s summer schools, the Santa Claus parade, fire victims, Boy Scouts, the Salvation Army and continued support for Ross Memorial Hospital.

The Club would also take this opportunity to thank the Bargain shop, Home Hardware, the Dollar store and Video Image for their participation in our toy drive.

Your help has once again allowed many children and families to have a far happier Christmas.

Again thank you for your continued support.

Bonspiel Success

The 56th annual Anne McIntosh Bonspiel, sponsored

by My Favourite Things,10 King Street East, was held at the Bobcaygeon Curling Club on Saturday, January 19th, 2013. It is the longest continuously run bonspiel at the club.

Teams from Collingwood, East York, Port Perry, Annandale, Ennismore, Bancroft, Oshawa, Welland, Peterborough, and Lindsay joined four of our Bobcaygeon teams to compete for the memorial trophy.

The trophy was won by Gayle White’s team from Ennismore, with Laura Toms, Kathy Reid and Myrle Jopling completing the rink. In second place, was Jane Reid’s team from Peterborough. Her team mates were Pearl Dixon, Sue O’Mara and Deb Pollock.

After a day of curling, a delicious dinner was served by Riverside Restaurant in Norland.

The bonspiel committee thanks our sponsors: Joy and Jerry Mous, local merchants and club members who donated time, energy and/or prizes for our raffle table. Our day was a success because of their contributions.

Our thanks to one and all.

Beth Halliday, Chair Anne McIntosh Bonspiel Committee

Help Save the Cave

The 3 day event which ended Saturday January 26 raised $9,000.00 which was donated to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre for a specialized piece of diagnostic equipment for the detection of breast cancer. The winning team which was skipped

by Garry Taylor included Bill Lee as Vice, Doreen Zimmerman as second and Ross Forrest as lead.

This event was made possible thanks to the many generous donations from local businesses, members of the club

and the principal sponsors which included Gus Brown Edgetown Ford, Robert Walker Law Firm, Live-Well and Cable Cable.

This fundraiser demonstrates what a wonderful caring and generous community we live in.

Please go to the Bobcaygeon Curling Club website at www. bobcaygeoncurlingclub.com for more details.

Sincerely, Susan Torrance (on behalf of) The 13th Annual Curl for Cancer Committee

WE MUST find a way to STOP the quarry work granted by HarveyCavendish Township in the County of Peterborough before it is too late! Warsaw Caves are a good tourist attraction in the Peterborough area – Dewdney Caves are bigger and better, but kept secret for too long.

Peterborough County, Ontario Government, Trent University, Fleming College – any one person or group that can help.

PLEASE ¬– this is truly a gift to this area, let’s use it not abuse it. Help Save the Cave!

Sincerely, D.J. Watson

Thanks

If you’ve ever experienced even a minor vehicular mishap, you’ll know how frustrating the process of insurance, estimates, repairs… can be.

Here’s a shout out to thank Fred at Extremeline Collision & Custom. He did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it. He did it all with a smile and professionalism. His work was excellent and the customer service he extended helped to take the sting out of an otherwise difficult event.

S. Simmons, Bobcaygeon

Dear Editor

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank the Business Community and the members of the Bobcaygeon Curling Club. The 13th Annual Curl for Cancer Bonspiel hosted by the Bobcaygeon Curling Club went off without a hitch.

City Hall

By Gord Killen

Little Bob Power

“Recent successes using newer technology, low head turbines to produce hydro electric power make it feasible to re-introduce hydroelectricity back into the Little Bob Dam” says Mark Powell, of the Water Power Group, who made a presentation to Council on January 15. Apparently this technology is fish friendly, has a positive carbon impact and can more effectively manage water levels on the Sturgeon River. Cost of the project is $2.9 million, however, at the moment there is no direct cost to the city.

The city can come on board via a joint venture or memorandum of understanding and provide a longterm, sustainable income for the City.

Powell also said that waterpower has a higher average of return than solar or wind power. He was also very flexible on the level of involvement of the City from 10% to an additional 40%.

Council needs to approve a resolution of support enabling the Water Power Group to proceed with an application to the Provincial FIT program. The draft Memorandum of Understanding supplied by the proponent for the Little Bob Community Waterpower project was referred to staff for review and a report back to Council. Support was given to pursue a Priority Permit from Parks Canada for this project.

Hospital/Infrastructure Levy

The original Hospital Levy was put into force in 2002 by the Council of the day. At that time they provided $7 million to the Ross Memorial Hospital and the levy ensured that taxpayers would reduce the indebtedness plus interest by $900,000 per year. A worthy cause indeed.

In a vote of 11-5 Council approved re-naming the Hospital Levy to the Infrastructure Levy. In discussions, members of Council said that since the Hospital Levy has been completed they should change the name of the levy and apply it to getting our roads and sewers in shape as they have been woefully neglected. At the same time as Ward 10 Councillor Pat Dunn put it, “For the last ten years we have been digging ourselves into a deep, dark hole.

Council’s priority should be addressing its debt.” In response Doug Elmslie (Ward 6) said, “the levy had been $900,000 per year and they were reducing it to $600,000 per year, so the taxpayer is getting a break.”

I have a few questions for the Mayor and Council.

1. Is what they are doing legal? In order for them to do this, should they not have at least looked at the wording used by the 2002 Council to ensure that what they have decided to do is above board?

Maybe in 2002 that Council put limits once the loan had been eliminated. Just a thought.

2. Why do they have to do it through a levy? Just be upfront and say that the City needs to renew and upgrade the city’s infrastructure.

3. If the taxpayers were used to paying $900,000 per year wouldn’t it be better to keep it that way and combine the levy with Infrastructure and Debt Reduction.

It seems to me that this is all ‘smoke and mirrors’.

What in the world is Council doing? They are spending money as if they have it. They don’t! I understand that the City is reaching its debt ceiling.

In the two years I have been covering City Hall I have seen no evidence of any debt retirement initiative.

One further example of a ‘let’s spend some money’; in December, in a close vote, Council approved adding $125,000 to improve the airport.

Why in the world did this go through when it will only benefit a very few people who happen to fly for recreation? Put that money into the infrastructure of the City proper, not the airport. Their rationale, is that Buttonville airport is closing and that it will also assist in Tourism, just doesn’t add up. Not one of the reasons for doing this is based on a defendable market analysis. It is based on assumptions and you know what assume does.

Burnt River Bridge

Mitchell’s bridge was constructed in 1926 but the single-lane span is badly deteriorated and staff have recommended a two-lane replacement at a cost of $5.5 million. They also said that there should be a way of commemorating the original bridge in the form of a plaque. The City plans to seek a $2 million dollar grant from the Province under the Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative.

Water and Wastewater Projects

The Public Works Department asked for Council’s approval of eight projects totalling $290,000 to be spent on improving various water and wastewater systems including Bobcaygeon, Victoria Place and the Verulam Water Tower. Efforts by Ward 8 Councillor Donna Villemaire to have each project voted on separately were unsuccessful.

Concern was raised concerning the number of consultants needed for these projects. Project Manager Brian Robertson said that it would not be feasible for staff to be conversant in all disciplines required for Public Works. Council gave it approval for all projects to be allocated in the 2013 budget.

Governance Review

At the January 15, 2013 Council meeting, “Governance Review” was presented to Council and a committee headed by the CAO, Mark Fisher, was established to look at the possibility of doing something prior to the next election in 2014. The committee’s report recommends that the full Governance Review be deferred to the 2014 budget process for consideration. The schedule submitted simply does not offer enough time for a meaningful review and the relevant public consultation with a guaranteed result in time to take effect for the 2014 election.

Ward 8 Councillor Villemaire put forward a motion that, in the interim, another task force be established to further study the issue. Council voted 9 to 7 to proceed. To my mind, an issue of this importance should be decided by the electorate not

by Council.

Community Care and Non-emergency Transfers

eligible for 50/50 funding.

The Ministry of Health began in 2010 questioning all significant increases between budget and actual cost. This will undoubtedly continue. The funding to Community Care has increased from approximately $14,000 in 2002 to $160,000 in 2012. The increase from 2011 to 2012 alone is approximately $80,000. The crux of the matter is that currently the information provided to the City from Community Care is lacking in detail. Was the non-emergency transfer really necessary or was it just a trip to the dentist or doctor. Staff are insisting on more detail and would like direction from council as to whether or not they wish staff to proceed with the agreement between Community Care and the City for nonemergency transportation given that the funding might not be there in the future for this service.

Councillors agreed that while there was some concern regarding the seemingly ever-increasing cost of this service, there are at present no viable alternatives. To take the service ‘in-house’ would require the acquisition of more ambulances and Para-medic personnel (at union rates). That would require an unacceptable cost. Council approved a continuance of this service by Community Care while at the same time instructing Staff to arrange with Community Care a better tracking system to ensure that all non-emergency transfers are justifiable.

Considering the amount of money involved, I believe the City and its Staff have every reason to expect full transparency and disclosure regarding this much-needed service.

Brent /Simpson Brent Kathy Simpson

Most municipalities in Ontario limit the amount of non-emergency transfers by designing a deployment 705.887.5965 plan that ensures adequate paramedic resources brent.simpson@bell.net for emergency (911) calls. Kawartha Lakes EMS kawarthablinds.com has a similar deployment plan that only allows a Call today for a free consultation! non-emergency transfer to occur when there are 6 available ambulances (i.e., no calls occurring). This rarely occurs since EMS only staffs 6 ambulances.

Community Care fees for Non-Emergency kblinds-cards.indd 5 Transfers are paid through the Ambulance Division (Emergency Medical Services) of the city of Kawartha Lakes. This service has been in place since 2002 and has received 50% funding from the Province of Ontario that compensates a third party for service to provide non-emergency transfers.

A neighbouring municipality wanted to put in place a similar service. The municipality sent a letter Complete asking for approval for a service very similar to what Indoor & Community Care provides for Kawartha Lakes. The Outdoor letter from the Ministry of Health indicated that while they approved the service, it would not be covered Growing under the Ambulance Act and would therefore not be Supplies

BOBCAYGEON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE What does the Chamber of Commerce do for me? It’s a question that’s been long asked in Bobcaygeon.

Like all Chambers, it provides the leadership, support and communications that are so important to keeping our business community strong and healthy through services ranging from providing helpful information and relevant resources to advocacy to government on important issues, including working jointly with area chambers of commerce and other groups, and recognizing business and community leaders through our annual Awards of Excellence evening.

Carrying out this mandate involves a lot of effort – it’s estimated that our staff last year referred more than 4,000 availability requests to our tourist accommodations sector and handled hundreds of enquiries from business entrepreneurs looking to establish here and people wanting to live amongst us.

The category’s “face,” produced jointly with The Promoter, is Explore Bobcaygeon and Area, whose 25,000 copies are widely circulated. It’s augmented by the information-loaded www.bobcaygeon.org website that features a searchable membership database and on which other local organization can piggyback and thus reach a much wider audience.

Just as important is the small business group insurance policy that, administered by The Benefits Coach, comprises medical, prescription drug and dental coverage at the same low rates enjoyed by the largest companies. Discounts are available to members through the Toronto-Dominion Bank VISA and National Bank Mastercard packages while, through Office Manager Ruth-anne Wilson, the office provides Commissioner of Oath information and signature services related to vehicles as family gifts.

Our general community benefits greatly from our seven events that entertain locally and encourage visits from people beyond our borders – it’s estimated that the Canada-U.S. Walleye Tournament brings in some $140,000 to our local economy.

Finally, thanks to Wendy Chaput and Sheri Bates, there are the front desk “with a smile” services, with Ministry of Transportation Ontario driver’s licenses renewed, temporary driver’s licenses and metal license plates issued and old, unused metal plates accepted for recycling. Ministry of Health permanent health cards are also issued.

Kawartha Cooks

Featuring Christopher Tuberdyke

POACHED PEARS WITH MULLED WINE SYRUP Being naturally sweet, velvety, and juicy, pears could be one of the most romantic fruits out there.

Pair (no pun intended) that with a spiced wine syrup and you have the perfect dessert for your Valentine.

This dish might look involved, but is very simple.

It will also fill your home with the most incredible aroma as the syrup reduces.

Save the extra sauce, it’s great on French toast!

Ingredients Serves 2 • 2 ripe, but still firm Bosc pears, peeled • 1 bottle white wine such as Riesling or Gewurtztraminer • 1 1/2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half

• 1’’ piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced • 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves • 1/4 cup honey • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise.

• 1-1/2 cup sugar • 1-1/2 cup water • Vanilla Ice Cream to serve 1. Make a simple syrup. Bring water and sugar to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer a few minutes until sugar has completely dissolved. Set aside.

2. In a large saucepan or stockpot, combine wine, simple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and honey.

Using a small knife split the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds into the pot, add the bean.

3. Over med-low heat, bring poaching liquid to a soft simmer and add the peeled pears. Gently poach the pears, turning often until they are tender enough to be easily pierced by a knife – about 20 minutes.

4. Using a slotted spoon remove pears from liquid and set aside allowing them to cool while you make the syrup.

5. Increase the heat to medium; simmer the poaching liquid until reduced by 3/4 (about 30-40 minutes.)

Remove cinnamon and vanilla bean.

Serve pear alongside a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with the spiced syrup and serve immediately.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Nancy Knits Your LYS

If you know what LYS means, you’ll be delighted to know about the opening of Nancy Knits at 1 Main Street, Bobcaygeon.

If you are a needlecraft enthusiast, you’ll know the LYS – or Local Yarn Shop – is more than a place to buy yarn. It’s a blend: a store, a hub of inspiration, a social setting and a familiar spot where you drop in to ask questions, answer questions, share ideas. And it’s where you go to buy your yarn.

It all began with Nancy Tennier’s love of knitting and progressed to friends ordering her hand-made scarves.

When people wanted to know where to purchase quality yarns, she decided it was time to set up shop.

On January 8, 2013, she did that.

Now you can knit your own scarves, Thrum mittens, bathing suit cover-ups, blankets, hats, sweaters and anything else your heart desires. The shop has a full range of supplies – from bamboo needles to patterns, slipper soles to liquid embroidery and crochet hooks – plus a rainbow of sought-after, quality yarns including Alpaca, Patons, Bernat, Red Heart. She even has an original copy of Knitting Instructions for War Work, published in 1940.

“People are coming back to knitting,” Nancy explains. “It’s so good for concentration. It’s therapeutic to follow instructions and focus. Knitting increases your self-esteem through the accomplishment of something you made with your own hands.”

If you don’t know how to knit, Nancy will teach you in private or group classes.

The LYS is the place to come to answer knitting problems. While she says she doesn’t have all of the answers, she certainly has plenty of resources. “Because,” she emphasizes, “There are never any stupid questions.”

Nancy Knits hours: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 9:30 to 4:30. Wednesday and Friday, 1:30 to 8 pm.

Wednesdays and Fridays are when instructions will be held.

Valentine’s Day For Kids Make The Most of It

Valentine’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to show appreciation for people we love. As parents, we can do a lot to help our children put Valentine’s Day in perspective.

You can also use Valentine’s Day to examine your own attitudes towards the holiday – the way you celebrate it in your family and the effect it has on your children.

• First, be clear about your own feelings about Valentine’s Day. Is it a holiday that’s important to you? Do you expects gifts or cards from family members? Do you give them? How do you feel about the increasingly commercial aspect of the holiday?

• If you are concerned, as many of us are, about rampant commercialism, encourage your child to make his Valentines. Buying gifts for classmates should be discouraged. Stock up on art supplies – crayons, markers, construction paper, paste, glitter, and doilies.

• If your child wants to do something special for a best friend that extends beyond a Valentine in class, make a special time for them to get together outside of school.

• Children and parents often exchange cards to emphasize their strong bonds of love. You may want to initiate this to help your child understand family love as part of the holiday.

• Remember, as parents, we transmit values to our children through our behaviour. If we celebrate Valentine’s Day by exchanging expensive gifts, it is likely that our children will want to do the same.

Finally, it’s never too early to help children express love and friendship in ways that transcend materialism. Because young children are concrete thinkers, it’s hard for them to understand a concept that can’t be represented by objects.

But by watching you give gifts of kindness, time, compassion, respect, and thoughtfulness to the people you love – not just on holidays but throughout the year – they will learn “I love you” means so much more than three words inscribed on a candy heart.

Health & Wellness HOW TO MAKE A HAPPY HEART And Peaceful Spirit

By Jeremy LePage

You don’t have to be a reclusive monk on an isolated mountain; you don’t need temples or secret texts that have been handed down for millennia.

You just need to breathe – deeply. And let your mind be free of any burden.

The first steps of learning to meditate can be this simple. And the results can be huge. Many practitioners, and doctors, claim regular meditation may not only reduce stress, but may also increase clarity of mind, increase energy, and improve one’s health overall. These aspects may be further helped along by combining meditation with a soft physical exercise such as yoga or tai chi.

“Benefits include lowered heart and respiratory rates, lowered blood pressure, and improved interpersonal and intrapersonal functioning on a day to day basis,” says David Maian, co-founder and instructor at Maya Healing Arts, located in Durham Region. Maya Healing Arts is just one place to find classes, workshops and treatments designed to promote health and renew mind, body and spirit.

In fact, many use meditation as a path to spiritual awakening, or an increased sense of self-knowledge.

“In my view and practice,” says Maian, “Selfrealization comes about very gradually over time by reasonably consistent practices on a physical level…”

In yoga, he adds, physical stretches and movements are coordinated with breathing cycles, along with what he refers to as “mindful meditation techniques.”

The physical practices, says Maian, “release physical energy blockages, whilst the meditation practices help clear the mind, allowing one to ‘see’ the world more clearly and non-judgmentally...”

There are many resources online, in bookstores, or libraries, to assist beginners to meditate properly.

There are also groups that meet regularly if one prefers to be in the company of others. Peaceful music, too, can be a good addition to meditation, and again, can be found either online or in a good music store.

The rest, of course, is just practice.

COMMUNITY CARES

by Mike Puffer

For local health and community support service agencies such as Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes and Ross Memorial Hospital, there are some new phrases and acronyms to become accustomed to in the next few weeks and months.

As the result of recently-announced integration plans of the Central East LHIN (the Ministry of Health’s Local Health Integration Network), the

city’s hospital and Community Care will be entering into discussions with similar service providers in Haliburton County. The direction from the LHIN is for Ross Memorial, Haliburton Highlands Health Services, the Community Care agencies in Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton, and SIRCH community services of Haliburton to form an Integration Planning Team (IPT). Meetings of the IPT have begun and the intent is for the group to develop a strategy that will result in the agencies working more closely together to deliver their services.

At this early stage of the IPT’s work, there are more unknown elements to the process than there are definite directions. However, one mitigating factor overriding the work to be done is that all organizations involved acknowledge that changes to how health care organizations deliver services have to be made. Simply pouring more money into agency budgets will not do - because there is no more money available in provincial coffers! Thus, everyone involved must explore new, innovative ways of meeting service demands. If integration with community partners is a possible way of achieving the goal, each of the above organizations will be willing to explore such a path.

Stay tuned for more IPT news in the months to come!

INSIGHTS

Life Within Our Community I have had the honour of witnessing many love stories over the years, especially as a daughter and daughterin-law of two couples whose marriages, combined, total more 90 years.

I am reminded of the challenge, the friendship, the respect and compromise that created a marriage that works for them. While photographing countless weddings, I revel in the hope people have that this is it, this is the one.

In the work I do, I see what those vows truly entail. They take on a new meaning when you walk into a room and see two people who are well into their 80’s and have been together since they were on the cusp of adulthood, still holding hands quietly, not needing words to communicate what their hearts already know.

Or I hear someone speaking to their spouse’s photograph, telling them about their day, as if they never left and I know in my heart they never will.

I have also seen love shatter, and sadly, couples somehow never find their way back to each other.

What is the secret? No one really knows. I think sometimes we search too much or look too far when

it can be found if we look back and reflect on how we got here from there.

It lies in the changes we made and the ones we didn’t, the chances we took and the ones we let pass by. What we made a priority, or not. What we put up with and what we didn’t.

More importantly, it rests in telling those important to us that we love and appreciate what they bring to our lives – now, before it is too late to tell them.

CELEBRATE YOURSELF

How To Navigate Valentine’s Day Solo Valentine’s Day – a day of exchanging flowers, cards, and loving sentiments punctuated with warm feelings of admiration, affection, and infatuation.

Being dateless on Valentine’s Day can evoke feelings of loneliness and self-doubt, especially for those who are believers in the mythology of true love. Embedded midway through the frosty season of winter, it is portrayed in the media, particularly in relentless flower, fragrance, and jewelry advertising, as the singular day of year set aside for love, romance, and passion.

But what is a person to do when he or she is feeling the chilling blues of being single instead of embracing the fiery desire of love?

Dr. Laura S. Brown, professor of psychology at Argosy University/Seattle, offers tips on how singles can celebrate Cupid’s Day, instead of being defeated by it. “Love is not about a particular day, or about cards, flowers, or even being in a relationship. The illusion that coupled people are happy and well-loved can feed feelings of loneliness or isolation for people who aren’t with someone, and wish they were,” says Brown.

According to Brown, the most important message that singles should remember on Valentine’s Day is that love is not just for couples; it is for all of us.

The following are more ways that single men

and women can enjoy Valentine’s Day without worrying about the pressures and pitfalls that often come with the holiday: • Do not define yourself by your relationship status. Your relationship status is not your identity.

• I f you are single because of a recent loss, allow this to be a day of grieving. Do not pretend that it’s not a hard day. Get support and sympathy.

•R ealize that Valentine’s Day is a commercial holiday. It is not about love and relationships; it is about selling flowers, candy, and diamond jewelry. Think of all the money you are saving.

•P lan well in advance to do something that will not place you in the path of billing and cooing couples.

• Get together with people who do love you – friends, family members – the people who already have relationships with you.

• I f you are single and you don’t want to be, start now to think about what is in the way of you creating the relationship you want. Find ways to work on becoming the person your dream partner would fall in love with. Start therapy.

Take up yoga. Begin to volunteer. Create art.

Make meaning. Act to change the world. It is into the fullest lives that love is most likely to fall.

• If you are single and you like it, now is the time to affirm your choice. People who never marry or partner have close, loving, emotionally intimate relationships and lives worth living.

Do not let a couple-driven culture define your choice as something wrong.

NEW FAMILY DOCTOR For The City of Kawartha Lakes

The Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative (KLHCI) and Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes Community Health Centre (CHC) are pleased to announce the recruitment of Dr. Othman Elfahad.

Dr. Elfahad begins his practice with the Community Health Centre on Monday, February 4, 2013.

“By recruiting family doctors to the City of Kawartha Lakes, the number of unattached patients, and those travelling long distances to see a family doctor, continues to be reduced and a significant number of citizens can now receive much needed primary health care services in their own community,” states Cindy Snider, the recruitment and retention coordinator for KLHCI. “It is very rewarding to have the recruitment efforts of KLHCI meet with continued success.”

Dr. Elfahad received his Bachelor’s Degree in Medicine and General Surgery from Garyounis University, Benghazi, Libya in 2004. Since 2008 he has practiced family medicine in Newfoundland.

Victoria Manor’s Behaviour Supports Ontario Team has had many successes as they work to better meet the needs of residents with challenging behaviours.

Behaviour Supports Ontario is a provincial initiative that is administered through the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN). It is designed to create internal processes in long term care homes to identify and manage responsive behaviours.

“The team has had extensive education in the assessment and treatment of dementia residents,” said Associate Director of Care Cathy Pinkett. “We have been able to avert transfers to the emergency room and admissions to Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences Centre through our work.”

The team assists residents who are exhibiting new or escalating behaviours and work to identify the cause in order to provide better treatment.

Alzheimer’s residents revert back to an earlier time in their life so sometimes with some research, staff can better understand what is causing them to act the way they do.

“We ask a lot of questions of the resident and their family. Knowing their history really helps us in looking at the person as a whole and providing care for them appropriately,” said team member and Registered Practical Nurse Danielle Ibbotson.

The team also looks at the resident’s state of health and whether pain or infection could be causing the behaviour.

“Sometimes it is the simplest thing that is causing the problem.”

The team has found success in activity type interventions such as a bed-making program. Often dementia residents revert back to when they were in their thirties or forties when they were busy with a family. “We have to step into their reality and provide them with meaningful activities. We look to meet their needs, interests, skills and abilities

Team members Danielle Ibbotson, Cathy Pinkett and Carrie Marlow.

and recognize them as a person, not as a patient,” said team member Carrie Marlow, Personal Support Worker.

The team provides mentoring and support to the unit teams at Victoria Manor and also collaborates with the Life Enrichment team. In the future they will be working with the restraint reduction and falls prevention programs as well.

“The program has been a success at Victoria Manor and has been a very cost-effective investment,” said Cathy Pinkett. She thanked team members Carrie Marlow, Danielle Ibbotson, Jennifer Cooper, Tracey Billous and Dawn Richard for their work. “It is challenging to care for these people and this team does an exceptional job.”

Erin says everyone who knows about treats knows about Picard’s.

Horoscope

February. 8-20, 2013 Melodie McCullough

Aries (March 21 – April 20) We all know there’s no better way to beat the February blues than to get out and celebrate a Kawartha winter. Are you up for it, Aries? There’s a Snow Day Feb. 9 in the Bethany Hills, with snowshoeing and skiing, in support of the Kawartha Heritage Conservancy. Or, if you prefer your exercise to be indoors, there is free public skating at the Bobcaygeon Arena Sunday afternoons.

Make it a family affair and create some memories!

Taurus (April 21 – May 21) “Where there is love there is life.” Mahatma Gandhi. This Valentine’s day, Taurus, remember that love is everywhere – not just between you and your mate, but also within everyone, waiting to be discovered. Reach out, toss a smile to a stranger and make someone’s day special!

Gemini (May 22 – June 22) Prioritize, prioritize, and prioritize. That’s your word for the next two weeks, Gemini. You need to decide what is important and do it. Stop lamenting the lack of time. Everyone has the same 24 hours in his or her day. Stop running in circles and focus on what you can accomplish efficiently and immediately.

Cancer (June 23 – July 23) A long-distance love affair can be trying at the best of times, Cancer. But with the romance of Valentine’s Day hovering in the air, your separation can be painful. Focus on the good times ahead. If it is meant to be, it will be.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Ah, the sweetness of young love! Or old love, too! Make this Valentine’s Day one your loved one will never forget, Leo. As the old song tells us, romance “moonlight and love songs” – is never out of date!

RetiRement Announcement

Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23) With the winter winds and snow keeping us somewhat housebound, now is the time, Virgo, to exercise a little creativity. Hone some old skills you’ve been ignoring, or try something daring and new. It will keep you buzzing as you dream of spring.

Libra (Sept. 24 –Oct. 23) Dear Libra – you are known for your changeable personality and can seem somewhat frivolous and indecisive. But we know, underneath all that, you are anything but “dizzy”. When you see injustice, you fight against it. When you see hurtfulness, you strive to heal, and where there is conflict, you pursue reconciliation. You are truly good to have around!

Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22) Can a crocus bloom in February? Yes, of course! If it’s in your home, cozy and warm, showered with sunlight beaming through the window, and watered with care, it will flower. And just like the tiny crocus bulb, you, too, Scorpio, can bloom on these cold wintry days. Don’t wait for spring.

Take good care of yourself and watch what happens!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21) Keep your nose to the grindstone for just a little longer, and then – it may seem almost miraculously – your hard work will pay off and you’ll be rewarded with a “dreams-come-true” moment, dear Sag! Then be sure to thank those around you who have helped along the way.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 –Jan.20) Everything is going your way, Capricorn! Just keep a steady pace. Don’t get over-excited and rush headlong into the unknown, but don’t let yourself lag behind, either. It’s a balancing act, but you’re up to it.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19) This is your phase, Aquarius, so use it as a time for some introspection and dedication to you, yourself, and thou! Re-examine your goals and don’t forget your dreams. Why not make them one and the same? Everything is possible.

Pisces (Feb. 20 – March 20) There’s a new moon on the 10th of the month, Pisces, and it’s known as the Bear or Wolf Moon, and also the Full Snow Moon, since the heaviest snow usually falls during this month. Some First Nations’ teachings say it is a time to see beyond reality and communicate through energy rather than sound.

An intriguing proposition, isn’t it?

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 239

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

Established in 1926, the Legion is the largest Veterans’ service organization in Canada, with more than 330,000 members. Its mission is to serve all Veterans including Canadian Forces personal and RCMP members and their families, to promote remembrance and to serve our communities and our country.

Our Service Bureau can provide many services for our Veterans when dealing with Veterans Affairs Canada. We also provide professional counselling and representation at all stages of the disability claim process.

Any Veteran, CF personnel or RCMP member, regardless of whether they are a Legion member or not, can access the services the Legion provides. The local Branch Service Officer can facilitate the acquisition and completion of disability and other type forms related to VA Canada. He is also well versed about most other social programs and can be a valuable liaison with the Provincial Service Officer’s Office, VA Canada and the VRAP. If you require assistance contact the branch and ask for the Service Officer.

The “Robbie Burns” celebration on the 26th was a great night with lots of good food, awesome entertainment and great friends to share it with. Many thanks to our tireless volunteers and a special thank you to Archie and Jo-Ann. We are hosting a Valentine lunch for our Veterans’ Widows on February 14 at 1 pm. Ladies, please call the branch and let us know if you are attending.

KINETTE NEWS

For the last two weeks the Kinettes have been busy making and decorating Easter Eggs.

Yes, it is only the first of February but Easter is early this year and we will be ready.

There are many businesses in and outside of town that have supported us over the years by letting us put our Eggs in their stores, the LCBO, Village Gate Pharmacy, Kawartha Dairy, Mum’s MiniMart in Dunsford to name a few, and we certainly appreciate it. The eggs will be $3.00 each.

The Kinette Motto is “Serving the Community’s Greatest Need” and that is where the proceeds from this project will go – to the Community!

We will host the Kinette Yard Sale again this year on July 13th. Donations will be accepted beginning at the end of April. Everyone will have plenty of time to do their spring-cleaning while knowing that there is a place that will gladly take all those things (except clothing) you don’t need anymore. Any questions please phone Betty Anne at 738.3670 or June at 738.2210.

Keep warm, June Jokinen

KAWARTHA SETTLERS’ VILLAGE Letter from the Manager

We are bustling about trying to keep warm and getting right into all the planning that prepares the Village to open in May. Event chair-people are busy calling meetings, gathering volunteers, entertainers, vendors; now is when it all happens.

You can be part of it, too. Marion would love to hear from you and get you signed up on our Volunteer list. I also know that she will have a bucket list of jobs to do when the weather warms up. We have several large painting projects this spring – the gazebo, trim, doors, fire hall – please help make her list smaller.

Another aspect of great importance is our Summer Student positions. This year we plan for seven positions and, dependent upon Grant approval, we’re seeking qualified students returning to school full time in the fall, to be part of our Summer Staff Team. Education Leader and assistant, social media/ website person, camp councillors, tour guides, restoration and artifact repair person,

artifact coordinator. The job description for the positions will be posted on our website or through Service Canada and VCCS in Lindsay. Most of the Grants have an age requirement of 15-30.

February is the month our office takes a rest. The office will re-open March 4, 2013. If you want to leave a message or email, we will return inquiries as we can.

As Dr. Seuss wrote, “The time has come, the time is now…” It is time for me to say farewell. It has been great and I wish Kawartha Settlers’ Village, Marion, all the Volunteers, Members, Summer staff and the Board a very busy, prosperous season ahead.

Thanks for the memories…
