Paper Cuts Profiles
I got my double chin from my father. Oh, and some cryptic advice that made no sense to me at the time. I was a kid. It was delivered during one of the visits my sister and I made to see him in Toronto. The bus trips were unpleasant enough for us because I inevitably experienced motion sickness; my sister had to sit beside me and be the big sister. The advice from dad to this daughter: “Don’t chew gum in public. And don’t sniff – blow your nose.” He said both were crude habits and, “You never know when you’ll meet the Queen.” That may have been the only advice he gave me. I don’t recall. Katharine Hepburn said, “We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers – but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But it is always your fault, because if you wanted to change you’re the one who has got to change.” The main street in Brechin, Ontario is currently decorated with colourful summer flowers. They aren’t contained

in planters hooked to light posts. The flowers spill from baskets – bicycle baskets attached to brightly painted two-wheelers. There are many bikes in many sizes and colours. They stand in front of buildings and businesses and along the bridge. It’s a fascinating and creative project that is most certainly fulfilling its purpose for the village. In 1817, a Baron von Drais de Sauerbrun invented what he called a walking machine. It was the first version of the bicycle. It would seem the Baron possessed a superb imagination although he didn’t think it through enough to invent pedals. However, if the man was also a father, no doubt he did his children proud. I never did get the chance to know my father well, but I was proud of his work. Eventually, I figured out his advice. Life works that way sometimes. In the words of Groucho Marx, “She got her looks from her father. He’s a plastic surgeon.” Mine was an artist. And a fine one at that. To my grandsons’ awesome dads – and to you – wishes for a Happy Father’s Day.

Our Trees Do Matter
Oops! A few weeks ago Bobcaygeon lost another rare and unique tree. It was a Kentucky Coffee tree, which is associated with the Deciduous Forest Region of Canada. Bobcaygeon is situated in the Great Lakes – St. Lawrence Forest Region. This tree was cut down on King Street. Last year, a large Hackberry tree was cut down on Main Street. As a Professional Forester for the past 37 years specializing in the management of tree(s) commonly found in the Deciduous Forest Region, I have encountered only “two” other specimens of the Kentucky Coffee tree. I am in no way advocating the restriction of cutting trees. However, its unfortunate most landowners do not know the rarity or uniqueness of the trees they are destroying.
Interestingly but sadly, everyone is encouraged to plant trees but little is done to promote caring for the trees we already have growing. I was told I should have said something to the landowner when I first recognized the tree. In hindsight I should have but then any certified arborist cutting down the tree should have known what species of tree he was cutting and told the owner. A tree Cutting By-law may or may not prevent the destruction of another rare or unique tree to Bobcaygeon or the City of Kawartha Lakes that isn’t the point; that’s another important conversation. The point is does it really matter to the residents of Bobcaygeon if we lose any more rare and unique tree(s) that could add something more special to the resumé of living in Bobcaygeon without interfering with the landowner’s rights. Regardless, henceforth, I will inform any landowner of any rare or unique tree I happen to come across and then, they can decide. L. Matsumoto Bobcaygeon

Vandalism
My husband and I have been members of the Royal Canadian Legion for 25 years. I purchased four Barberry bushes and planted them in the garden in front of the (Bobcaygeon) Legion. They were a donation. They were good-sized bushes and they were pulled out because the holes are right there. What we don’t understand is why people would not have respect for the Legion or anyone’s personal property. Marilyn Dewing, Bobcaygeon
Really?
We would really appreciate, if whoever “picked up and took away” our sandwich board sign at the corner of #36 and King Streets would put it back or return it to the Bistro (no questions asked). When we noticed it missing, we checked with the municipal office to make sure we hadn’t broken a sign by-law of some sort by where we placed the sign and were advised after they checked that no staff had picked up the sign. We don’t think it was
JR. GOLF CAMP (CPGA Instruction)
“a kid vandalizing” because the thing weighed over 50 lbs. and needed handles to carry it, so we can’t chalk it up to vandalism.
There was also another new business’s sign beside ours on the corner and it was left and not touched, but ours was gone. Really? We can’t believe it. It’s not the cost of the sign to be replaced that’s bothering us (although it will cost us to replace it – it was solid wood with a chalkboard on both sides with wood trim and chrome handles – it’s more about what the sign’s ‘disappearance’ represents. Are we upsetting someone? We choose to open a business here in Bobcaygeon that supports the town by hiring local people to work in our restaurant, by shopping at the local grocery store, by shopping at the local LCBO and Beer Store for our restaurant supplies. We support and shop at local shops for kitchen equipment and supplies, office supplies and medicinal needs at the local pharmacy. We eat at local restaurants and support those businesses and their families. We bank at a local bank and pay taxes that support the town. We have our vehicles serviced at a local auto shop. We bought a home here four years ago, BY CHOICE and opened a business here BY CHOICE because we CHOOSE to live in Bobcaygeon! There have been a number of incidents that have occurred since we opened the restaurant and we shrugged them off the best we could. Now this. Again, I reiterate ... “really”?

Water Issues
Due to the Walkerton tragedy of May, 2000 where residents were becoming sick and dying due to contaminated water from a well adjacent to the town’s water supply, other municipalities are now risk averse (thank God) and are extremely cautious regarding the water that comes from our taps. No one wants another Walkerton. It seems as if the Sword of Damocles was hanging over Councillors’ heads during the meeting while water was being discussed. After attending the Council session of May 28 the issue of water seems to be a most perplexing and frustrating topic that needs to be dealt with. A recap may be in order for all of us to capture the seriousness of this problem. • Staff to advise the owners of undeveloped properties within the Village of Fenelon Falls which are currently zoned to permit residential, commercial, institutional and industrial development, that the development of their property is temporarily suspended until after the Public Works Department, Water and

Wastewater Division confirms sufficient sanitary service capacity is available for the permitted development. • That Genivar be confirmed as the single source provider of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) at a cost of $780,000. This is the continuation of a program that is already in place. The system allows the monitoring of the City’s 70 Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants from anywhere and at any time. Should a malfunction occur, alarms would automatically be sent to operational stations so that the appropriate action can take place. Concern was expressed by a number of Councillors over Genivar being the only option and a costly one at that. • The necessity of hiring a Risk Management Officer (RMO) and a Risk Management Inspector (RMI). The 2 positions may be amalgamated. Also the cost of training the individual(s) is of some concern. • The Ministry of the Environment is considering ordering the City of the Kawartha Lakes to take over the running of the Lakeview Water Coop, which could add to the problem. Ward 13 Councillor Pat Warren is to meet with the residents in the near future. • Depending on who you ask CoKL have either the 6th or the 3rd highest water rate in Ontario. • The City has an outstanding debt of $30+ millions related to our water system. During the usual give and take of discussions related to the ever-rising cost of water in the City, the Mayor observed that Council can never seem to get ahead of the problem. In my research I noticed that Walkerton has a Clean Water Training Centre. Who is availing themselves of this resource? I trust that we are. It seems to me that there must be other communities in Ontario and elsewhere that are facing the same dilemma, the seemingly ever-rising cost of water. Time to get ahead Mr. Mayor!

will be rejected. This was in response to a letter from the Agriculture Advisory Board who are concerned that field - sized prime agricultural land was being used for solar energy projects and is “a threat to the future of the agricultural sector of Kawartha Lakes.” The report from the Board also noted that there is strong pressure to plant grain due to the current high prices.

Cliff Notes
Back for Second Season Cliff Notes, the treble choir named for the rock faces at Fenelon Falls’ Lock 34, is poised for its second season, and is recruiting new members. The choir, directed by soprano Cicela Månsson and accompanied by pianist Ruth Eberts, performed at several key community events this year, including an opening set for string trio Infinitus, one of the concerts presented by the Bobcaygeon Music Council. “I’m amazed at how far Cicela has taken them in just one year,” says parent and community board member Diane Engelstad. “I can hardly wait to hear what they will do next season.” The repertoire is varied, including musical theatre, folk, classical and world music. “Along with developing vocal flexibility, confidence, and working as a team,” says Månsson, I want to help the singers develop as musicians and have lots of fun along the way.” The choir, for treble voices in grades 5 through 12, rehearses in Fenelon Falls Wednesday nights from 7:00 to 8:30 pm (September – April). The cost of the program is $300 for 24 sessions (may be paid in 2 installments). The new season starts September 25, 2013. Registrations received before June 30 will get a $25 Early Bird discount.

ON SAYING NO
By David Sparkes
Our three and a half year old granddaughter surprised us recently by telling us, “Mom and Dad say I can have a dog”. The parents had previously told us, in no uncertain manner, that this was out of the question and I guess this showed on our faces. Then our little angel added “Yes, they said I can have a dog when I become an adult”. There’s more than one way to say “no”. It seems to me that today’s parents somehow feel that it is wrong to say no to their children. Surely, this is an essential part of the learning process and part of the responsibility that parents have in preparing their offspring for the real world. One of the world’s greatest philosophers said “You can’t always get what you want” (or maybe he sang it) – but on the other hand he also couldn’t get “no satisfaction”! These days you read and hear a lot about “entitlement” and it is not too hard to find examples of people who have an exaggerated sense of their place in society and what they are entitled to take for their own. Perhaps this begins with parents who just can’t find it in their hearts to deny their children anything their little heart desires. Often the kids are just seeing how far they can push things and a simple “no” is all it takes to give them the answer. And you don’t always have to justify your answer with an explanation. Grandparents can always see things so clearly or perhaps they just think that’s the case. It is a lot easier when you don’t have to deal with the pressures of being a parent 24/7. The world changes so quickly and it is increasingly harder to adapt to those changes as you age. Different times require different measures. Things are not always what they seem. I recently received an e-mail from my sister touting the miraculous qualities of green coffee beans. That seemed a little strange to me but even more suspicious was the subject line which was simply “Salutations”.

I seriously doubt that my sister has ever used that word. Sure enough, it transpires that she has been victim to a scheme where her e-mail contacts are hijacked and messages sent out in her name. This is not the first time I have encountered this scam but it is disconcerting to realize how we can be fed false information. So it takes a special kind of parent to be able to prepare their children for the world in which we live. That being the case, it is probably better that grandparents offer advice only when asked and to trust their children to do what is best for their own. The words of another song come to mind. “I wish I was a little bit younger, and knew what I know now”. Oh well!
DID YOU KNOW That Legally…
Now that summer is finally here, our teenage children may be heading out for their first summer job. Wish them luck, but, arm them with their rights under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Many young adults take work involving manual labour. They do not realize that they can, and should refuse work if it is unsafe. Many are too shy, and inexperienced to speak up as they are afraid to lose their new job. Unfortunately, many take on the job even though they know that they may be injured. Take some time with your children... google the Act, and let them know that they need to keep safe! Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act workers have four key rights: 1. To participate in the health and safety process, mostly through the JHSCs (Joint Health and Safety Committees found in workplaces with 20+ workers); 2. To refuse unsafe work; 3. To stop unsafe work through certified members of the JHSC; 4. To know about workplace hazards. Further, under the Act ‘the employer may not penalize a worker in any way for exercising his rights under the OHSA, including this right to refuse unsafe work.’ If you feel that you have suffered a reprisal you may contact a paralegal for more advice, or file a complaint with the Ontario Labour Relations Board.

A Father’s Day Story Thank you for submitting Father’s Day photos and heart touching stories for this issue of The Promoter. Here we share Laurie Bickle’s story and photo, along with the winning entry featured on our cover. My husband Steve, daughter Tracey and I live on a farm in the Bobcaygeon area. The photo of my dad was taken June 2012. Whenever he and my step-mom came to visit us on the farm, he wanted to know what he could do to help out. When ALS struck him, he still came for visits but he could no longer help out around the farm. My step-mom, Suzie, is originally from Sacramento California and was a great sport in adapting to our Canadian winters. Being the primary caregiver of my dad with ALS, she needed some ‘girl-friend’ time in her sunny south. Dad lived with us for the two weeks when Suzie was away in June. We hired a local university student to come in daily from be with dad because all three of us work outside the home. Dad sat out on the back deck by the pool, and watched our Percheron horses in the paddock next to the house. These days were the best days for my dad and me.
I cherish these memories and think of him often. In September, on the 18th, dad succumbed to the disease but will live forever in my memory. You can see in the picture that dad is wearing a scarf, hat and jacket, and had a blanket over his legs even though it was June. The jacket was his, the hat came from my sister who lives in Boston and the scarf and blanket are mine. This is my dad. Christopher M. Hrushowy. All who knew him called him Chris. I want others can see how happy he was here, out on the farm.

The Bobcaygeon Splash Pad Committee celebrated the official opening of the newly built Splash Pad at the Tommy Anderson Park thanks in part to a $73,700 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). Said Heather Harrison, Co-director, Bobcaygeon Splash Pad Committee, “Without the OTF grant, our committee would still be raising funds and the Splash Pad would not have opened for several more years.” The Committee, in partnership with the Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce, worked closely with City of Kawartha Lakes Parks and Recreation to raise the funds and construct a Splash Pad at Tommy Anderson Park in Bobcaygeon. The Splash Pad was built in memory of Bobcaygeon residents Monty and Nancy Crowe and will be available for use to all of the children in the community.

Nestled in the former Kinmount railway station is a little jewel of a visitor attraction called the Kinmount Model Railway & Museum. It occupies the former agent’s office and baggage room (the waiting room is a tourist information office). In the baggage room is a very-well-done (though we say so ourselves, but the many who have left comments agree) replica operating model railway in 1:87 (H0) scale of the former railway between Kinmount and Haliburton. This layout was originally built by a group of local model railroaders for the Kinmount Fair in the early 1990s, but is now a permanent display. Over the years it has been upgraded, and has recently undergone a major scenic overhaul to refresh the layout, to make it look more prototypical and to add a lot more detail – and this is an ongoing project. The Museum part of the display already has a number of artifacts and pictures that are on display in the agent’s office, outside the station and in the baggage room along with the layout. When the City of Kawartha Lakes acquired the station building from the CNR at the time the line was abandoned, it was lovingly restored with local help to its original appearance, and thankfully the magnificent original BC fir wall paneling in the waiting room and the agent’s office was preserved as an impressive example of early interior station design common to many Ontario country stations that have now vanished. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN The attraction is operated and staffed by a small group of volunteer railway modellers and colindarlingdesign.ca historians, and is well worth a visit. It is financially darlingdesign@accel.net supported by the City of Kawartha Lakes with a 705•755•0814 modest grant and with admissions by donation. The exhibit is wheelchair accessible, and there is free parking in the surrounding station area.d For hours of operation, see www. kinmountrailwaymuseum.com.

Our goal is to honour the senior citizens of Fenelon Falls in recognition of the contributions they have and continue to make in keeping our community strong and prosperous. Seniors play important and vital roles in our individual families, in our communities and in our country. Many of the events that take place in Fenelon Falls have organizing committees that are heavily weighted with seniors who share their skills and experience for the benefit of their community. Arlene Colman, Seniors Chairman, advises that the luncheon will celebrate our local seniors letting them know just how important they are to us and providing them with an opportunity to gather and socialize. The entertainment by Belinda Wilson has been such a hit in previous years and we are very pleased to have her back again this year for your toe-tapping pleasure. The luncheon is for seniors in the community of Fenelon Falls who are 65 years of age and older. This is an opportunity for local seniors to meet old friends, make some new friends, and enjoy a meal and entertainment. Seniors with special needs are encouraged to attend and we will do our best to accommodate. Community Care has generously volunteered to provide transportation where required. The luncheon will take place Tuesday, June 18th starting at noon. Doors open at 11:30 am. Attendance is limited to 120 and registration is required. Call Arlene Colman at 705.454.1849 and confirm your attendance today. The seats tend to fill up quickly, so call early to avoid disappointment. The seniors of Fenelon Falls play key roles in supporting families and friends, volunteering with charities, churches and service clubs. Their contributions are a wonderful reminder to all of us that we can make a positive difference in our Village and in the lives of others post 65. Fenelon Seniors have worked hard and continue to contribute much to the prosperity we all enjoy today.
This is the Branch’s way of saying thank you to the seniors of Fenelon Falls. Arlene Colman, Seniors Chairman RCL Fenelon Falls

Accessibility Awareness Recognition Awards
The Kawartha Lakes Accessibility Advisory Committee was pleased to present the sixth annual Accessibility Awareness Recognition Awards at City of Kawartha Lakes Council on Tuesday, June 4th. The awards recognize residents of the municipality who have been involved with accessibility issues, promote “Accessibility Opens Doors” for all people within Kawartha Lakes and demonstrate outstanding contribution within the last year. Congratulations to this year’s winners: • Outstanding Contribution awards went to: Business: Monk Funeral Services, Glen and Melda Clark; Community Group: Community Living Kawartha Lakes; City of Kawartha Lakes Employee: Todd Bryant, Transit; Individual, Adult: Mike Reaman; Education: Harold Williams. Outstanding Design – Janetville United Church. The Barbara McArthur Memorial Award of Distinction was presented to two recipients this year, Julie McQuade and Amy Boyle. For approximately thirty years Julie McQuade has helped children in her role as an Educational Assistant. Her calm demeanor and caring nature make her an exceptional assistant. She finds inventive way to include her students with peers whether it is organizing a casual card game or board game or coming up with a way to include all children in schoolyard games. She helps those youth who might feel excluded, feel included. Amy Boyle has selflessly fostered thirteen puppies for the Lions Club Dog Guides programme, beginning when she was twelve. As a foster dog parent, Amy
is responsible for the puppies 24/7. The puppies go everywhere with their foster parent including school, social engagements, restaurants and movies. It is the foster parent’s responsibility to teach the puppies how to behave and ensure that the puppies do not cause any commotion. Amy has been a staunch supporter and participant in the Lindsay Dog Guide Walk, raising funds to provide dogs to clients.

Kale Chips
Kale Chips. No, really – I’m serious. This simpleto-make snack is totally addictive, delicious, and can be seasoned in all sorts of ways. Oh yeah, it’s also way better for you than a bag of potato chips. They’re not fried, contain only a very tiny bit of oil, and the low heat preserves the nutritional content of kale. Which, by the way, is super high. It’s one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet with huge amounts of vitamin A, C, and K. So, next time you get the munchies, bake up a batch of these guys! What you need: 1 bunch of Kale 1 tablespoon olive oil Sea salt Chili flakes (optional) Parchment paper 2 baking sheets What you do: 1. Preheat your oven to 275 degrees. If you have a convection option, use it! It’s made for jobs like this. (If you don’t that’s fine – you’ll just need to keep yours in the oven a little longer and rotate the trays half way through.) 2. Wash kale and thoroughly dry. Wet kale = soggy
chips (and that’s a sad thing). Remove ribs and tear leaves into 2 inch sized pieces. Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil making sure to coat. Sprinkle with salt and chili flakes. 3. Arrange kale on parchment lined baking sheets in a single layer. Do not crowd – they won’t get crispy. 4. B ake for 15-20 minutes until crisp and brown around the edges. Enjoy as is or season as desired. Enjoy! Seasoning Ideas: Lemon zest and black pepper Freshly grated Parmesan Chili powder and lime zest Smoked paprika

Bobcaygeon and District
Chamber of Commerce To the locals, they’re affectionately the “Townies.” In reality, they’re the cottagers, travellers, boaters and others who bring us their lifestyles, love of Nature, protection of the environment, personal friendships and, important for our businesses and economy, their purchasing power. Considering their numbers – an estimated 25,000 arrive by water and another 40,000 come by vehicle to their cottages or to stay at our motels and resorts – their presence among us is a benefit that keeps on giving. With its services and connections, the Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce fosters goodwill with our cottagers, attracts vacation-bound tourists, promotes our area as good for business enterprise and helps keep our village among Canada’s top ten retirement communities. According to office manager Ruthanne Wilson, that translates into about 6,000 enquiries over a “season” that’s only six months long – an average of more than 250 phone calls, emails and in-person enquiries each Monday to Saturday week during that time. Business contacts and information centred on the Explore Bobcaygeon booklet jointly produced by The Promoter and Chamber are the heart of this
service, but the Chamber also employs a reference system that helps hospitality sector members keep their occupancy numbers up. As well, a significant number of visitors use the speedy, “with a smile” vehicle licensing and health card services instead of enduring the long, impersonal line-ups at home. And the Chamber has also fulfilled its economysupport mandate by partnering with Parks Canada and the Trent-Severn Waterway in two Big Bob Channel dockage projects. Intended to provide small-craft docking that allows cottagers to shop downtown, the first, built a number of years ago, involved its own money and the talents of two directors of the day. The second project, whose first stage extended that development and was dedicated during the Chamber’s Unlock the Summer 2013, involved using its not-for-profit status to help facilitate the fund-raising efforts of an independent community committee. Welcome, our friends. May your stays among us be enjoyable and memorable. Bob Hughes, Secretary

In addition, with a strategic focus on water and water quality in Kawartha Lakes, it is important to engage the stewards of our lakes and rivers, you, the property owners.

WATEROPOLIS
Tried & Tested in Kawartha Lakes The City of Kawartha Lakes is committed to improving and protecting water quality in our lakes and rivers. In this issue, I am pleased to share information about an engineered floating wetland system developed by C&M Aquatics. C&M has been working with the City’s Water & Wastewater staff and the Centre For Alternative Wastewater Treatment (www.cawt. ca) at Fleming College to introduce a new product called PhytoLinks™. This project is supported by the Ministry of the Environment’s “Showcasing Water Innovations” program. PhytoLinks™ is a floating, modular system that C&M hydro seeds with native plants. Once established, the plants trap ‘undesirable nutrients’ such as phosphorous and eColi in their root system. The roots can be harvested in the future to remove the ‘undesirable nutrients’. Find information about PhytoLinks at www. lakefieldherald.com/KLSA/KLSA_2012_final. pdf. You may download the article written by Rob Gamache for the Kawartha Lake Stewards Association.
Thank You The Bobcaygeon Curling Club (BCC) biannual Yard & Bake Sale was held May 31 and June 1. It was a huge success.

In addition, thanks to the Members of the BCC for donating baked goods for the Bake Sale. A very special thanks to all the Volunteers who made this event such a success story. Stu Stephen

Canada/US Walleye Tournament Wins Big
The Bobcaygeon & Area Chamber of Commerce, the organizing committee and volunteers are proud to announce the 33rd Annual Canada/US Walleye Tournament, was another tremendous success in its rebirth of the event! It was held on Sturgeon Lake, May 24-26, 2013, at the Bobcaygeon Arena on Mansfield Street in Bobcaygeon. The stakes were high this year, and the field of 125 teams participating in this tournament won BIG, very BIG! The total payouts in cash and prizes amount to over $67,000. The lucky first place team #124 of Doug Coombs and Bob Hayford received a cheque of $10,000. They were a local team from the City of Kawartha Lakes in a small boat and low HP motor. The second place Team #114 Pat O’Connor and Bernard Balian took away $5,000. Third place Team #003 of Last Year’s Champion Dan Risorto and his new partner Mike Allen scooped up $3,000 with more cash wins all the way down to the 25th place. Food, laughs and fishermen everywhere sharing true stories! Okay, forget that true story thing. Planning has already started for next year’s 34th Annual Canada/US Walleye Tournament and Sports Trade Show! to be held May 23, 24 and 25, 2014 at the Bobcaygeon Arena. On the Friday night registration, 50 early bird teams were signed up for the 2014 Canada/US Walleye Tournament. The rest have to wait until Tuesday, October 15, 2013, at 9 am at the Chamber Office, or online starting at 9 am. This is a live release tournament and the
Organizing Committee members have seriously taken into consideration the proper handling of the fish, providing the competing anglers the Canada/ US Walleye Rules and Regulations and the revised regulations of the Ministry of Natural Resources. www.bobcaygeon.org/CanUsWalleyetournament.html The success of the Canada/US Walleye Tournament was made possible by the strong support of the fishing industry, other businesses near and far, and the team of superb volunteers who demonstrated their interest with financial support or donations of great prizes and services. Winners of many other categories were rewarded with more cash and prizes. For all details, see www. bobcaygeon.org/CanUsWalleyeTournament.html. or contact the Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce.

Health & Wellness Cancer Support Group Assisted by Community Care
There’s good news for participants in a local cancer support group who had been concerned for the future. Beginning in September, Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes Health and Support Services will provide the Lindsay Cancer Support Group with meeting space and facilitation, through
the agency’s Hospice services. “Our agency has committed to help the cancer support group,” says Jill Sadler, Director of Hospice Services with Community Care. “We feel this is a perfect marriage for both organizations. Our mandates, purposes and goals complement each other in many ways.” In May, organizers with the Lindsay Cancer Support Group expressed fears that future meetings might cease, due to a number of factors. Since 1991, the group has held regular monthly meetings to provide an opportunity for local residents living with cancer or who have been affected by cancer to come together and share their stories and feelings with others who have had similar experiences. The group was struggling with continued on page 32

continued from page 30 finding future leadership and meeting space. Sadler attended the group’s May meeting, where the uncertainty, along with new ideas, was discussed. Hospice, which already offers a variety of support groups for people dealing with grief, bereavement and illness, can assist with the group’s facilitation, she said. “Hospice will provide the meeting space, leaders, refreshments and the support group members have agreed to be responsible for reminder notices
to participants about upcoming meetings.” The meetings will be held on the fourth Monday of each month at Community Care Village House, 65 Melbourne St. W., Lindsay. There is no charge to attend. Over the summer, Hospice staff will meet with current facilitators, discuss program content and structure for the coming months’ meetings, and plan education, topics and speakers. “Our hospice facilitators have training that will be of great help

You have to like the theme that the province has selected for the 2013 Seniors Month in Ontario: The Art of Living. If we could change just one thing, we would make the theme The Art of Living Well. We certainly agree with the Ontario Seniors’ Secretariat that June is a great time for seniors to celebrate their lives and the many ways they continue to make our province a better place to live. The theme has been selected to celebrate how Ontario seniors have created their own unique approach to living. Locally, there will be a great opportunity for residents to familiarize themselves with programs and services offered in this community, at the upcoming Seniors Information Fair. Presented each year by MP Barry Devolin and MPP Laurie Scott, the Seniors Information Fair will be June 26 at the Lindsay Exhibition fairgrounds. There is no cost to attend, but those interested in taking in the event should RSVP to the MP or MPP’s office. The half-day event will feature special speakers dealing with topics that will be of interest to seniors. In addition, many local agencies will be on hand with information and assistance for anyone seeking to find out how to utilize their services. Inevitably, many people at the event go away armed with new knowledge about what programs are available to them.
Often, people are hesitant to ask for information about services that they might need one day until it is too late. The Seniors Information Fair is a great chance to stock up on such information, in order to be prepared for a time when it will be useful to have. See you there!

BEAUTIFUL BOBCAYGEON Public Gardens
The Bobcaygeon Horticulture Society maintains a number of gardens throughout the village. They include the Municipal Service Centre beds, Shea Park and the Legion Corner bed. Boaters appreciate the Lock 32 gardens as well as the Cenotaph. The Need Street Triangles, The King Street bed, Bridge of Heroes and Boyd Street Corner offer particular challenges. Finally, Market Square and the gardens of Settlers’ Village are a prime focus. Traditionally, public gardens rely on masses of colourful annuals. In 2013, more than 50 flats of annuals will be planted in these beds. But annuals are expensive and high maintenance. There has been a shift to shrubs, small trees and perennials to extend the period of attractiveness into, hopefully, a full 12 months. Hardy and multiplying bulbs such as daffodils, alliums and anemone (wind flowers) remind us that spring has actually arrived even though snow may, indeed, fall on Mother’s Day! With last year’s notes in hand, all gardeners attempt to improve on the previous season. This year the Market Square planters will receive a
facelift. Plants which have literally outgrown their usefulness will be removed and/or divided. Pernicious weeds must be eradicated and serious pruning of shrubs will occur. This will open up space for smaller shrubs and perennials with a longer season of colour. The BHS has been beautifying our village for many years. None of us are Founding Members, but many are of us are vintage! We would welcome newcomers with an interest in horticulture and a desire to volunteer in our many projects. Please join us at the following public functions this summer: at Knox Church Hall : June 20th – CBC’s Ed Lawrence at 7 pm; June 13th – Annual Garden Tour; August 7th – flower and vegetable Show and Tea.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) In many facets of our lives, it is not the mistake or the encounter that matters most, but our “reaction” to that “action”. Mistakes are a fact of life – it is the response to the error that counts. And if someone treats you badly – the way you handle it is up to you. Remember, Aries, you are in control!
Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Your strength is as the strength of ten, because your soul is pure! That’s an old saying, dear Leo, but right about now we think it applies to you. We know you’re going through a tough time -- making decisions and caring, not just about yourself, but others around you, too. But as always, your integrity will lead the way!

This achievement has been celebrated around the globe since ancient times. Why not imagine yourself at one of these festivals and embrace the spiritual and symbolic dimensions, and the Earth’s newfound warmth?
Cancer (June 23 to July 23) “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream,” C.S. Lewis. Ah! No truer words were ever spoken. Don’t let anyone or anything stand in the way of new dreams, dear Cancer. The world is yours to discover and seize.

the one whom others turn to for help. You are sensible, discreet and wise – all traits that serve you well and let you assist and comfort others. While it may not seem so at the time, these strengths are greatly appreciated! Do you really appreciate your family? Where would you be without them? Take a few moments today to let them know how much they mean to you – won’t you please?
Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Scorpio – being emotionally
reserved, yet intense and sensitive, you often display opposite traits simultaneously. This can confuse others, especially family members. Speak out loud what is important to you, but with calmness and assertiveness, not aggressiveness.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) It is time, dear Sag, to take an introspective look in the mirror. You really must try harder at not blaming others for your misfortunes. Take responsibility. You can make a difference. You are the one! Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Oh dear, Capricorn. Your emotions

These include the Municipal Service Centre, Shea Park, Legion Corner, King Street planter, Need Street Triangles, Trent Canal, Bridge of Heroes, Boyd Street Corner, Market Square and Settlers’ Village. Like home gardens, public gardens sometimes need a facelift. This year it is Market Square`s turn. Plants which have literally outgrown their usefulness will be removed and/or divided. Pernicious weeds are being eradicated and serious pruning of shrubs will occur. This will open up space for smaller shrubs and perennials with a longer season of colour. On Thursday, June 20 at 7 pm, join us in Knox Hall, as we all take a break to meet gardening guru, Ed Lawrence. Recently retired as Ottawa’s head horticulturalist, Ed’s many responsibilities included the oversight of the 85 acre historic grounds and greenhouses of Rideau Hall, as well as the residences of the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. Ed’s gardening expertise has gained popular recognition through CBC Radio’s “Ontario Today” noontime gardening phone-in show heard every Monday. Author of the best-selling book “Gardening – Grief and Glory”, Ed is the elder statesman of environmentally-responsible gardening. Soap and water, dormant oils, integrated pest management (i.e. good bugs eating bad bugs), even the use of beer in small bowls to eliminate slugs from your garden are among the benign remedies that Ed has used and promoted over the years.
“There’s nothing like sowing seeds and seeing them germinate,” explains Ed. Gardening is like this little miracle you get to watch. You’re dealing with life – it’s another form of life, of course – but you’re dealing with life, constantly. Gardening,explains Ed, might just be the one great equalizer between people.

Retirement Suites of Kawartha Lakes Life For the Young At Heart You’re retired! Put up your feet and relax. Have a nap. Or you could go for a walk. Dance, practice your yoga poses. Sing. See a movie. Join the Green Thumb Club or read a book. Play. Learn. Enjoy freshly cooked meals and lively conversations with your dining companions, or special occasions with your family. Splashes of sunlight, friendly faces, conscientious staff, and delicious food – all you envisioned retirement could be. Affordable luxury. “The people who live here are the people who are young at heart,” says Erin O’Grady, Director of Resident Relations. Retirement Suites of Kawartha Lakes is, “A family owned and operated residence with experience dating back to 1959.” This includes Suzie Cranley and Paul, her partner of 25 years. Suzie explains, “This is not a heavy care facility. It’s a retirement residence. It’s an active living community with on-site health services available.” Now is a time when people want to enjoy a highly improved quality of life. There’s a wellness centre with access to physiotherapy, fitness equipment and indoor walking track. Suzie says their General Manager, Gillian Downs, has a nursing background and extensive experience with seniors and their families. They share a similar philosophy and passion, as do the rest of the staff, all of whom have their roots in this community. That’s just part of it. The stunning building itself has incorporated the Kawartha feel with the beauty of the stone, elegant carpeting and the stunning aquarium. Lovely accommodations range from Studio to one and two bedroom Suites, all outfitted with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, patios, terrace balconies or walkouts to garden patios. And the security of a safe environment with 24-hour supervision. Service features three nutritious meals daily, with attention to special dietary needs. Over all, residents have a real purpose to get up each morning. Suzie explains retirement residences have had a definite stigma that people lose their independence. “The reality is, we gain more.” Suzie adds, “I love our logo. We selected geese because they are mates for life and when they are in V formation, they are always there for each other.” Retirement Suites of Kawartha Lakes. Bright, beautiful, home. You’ve earned it. 38 JUNE 14, 2013 - The Promoter
