Paper Cuts Blue Skies We’ve swept the bridge, cleaned the windows, polished the streetlights, dusted the docks, fed the fish and sent the snow away (again).

The Victoria Day Weekend has arrived and we’ll do the Queen proud. Summer is on the horizon. So are our guests.

To our visiting weekenders, cottagers, campers, boaters, day-trippers, bikers, cyclers, hikers, golfers, walkers, birdwatchers, shoppers, diners and icecream-cone-eaters: We’re glad you’re back! From now through Thanksgiving – and beyond – we’ll give you the best we have. And our best is really good. You see, it’s about pride – pride in ourselves, our surroundings, and pride in the fact you keep coming back to spend your wellearned relaxation time with us.

When you ask local residents if they take the surrounding beauty and resources for granted, the typical answer is no. That’s especially true of the people who have gone out of their way to make their homes here. While it may be a seasonal visit for you, we’re here all year and we certainly make the most of it. In case you haven’t yet had the pleasure of experiencing it, visualize a gorgeous, clear winter day with the sting of frost, a bright, blue sky…

and lots to see and do.

As we reach the end of spring and merge into summer, we can tell you there are tremendous community events coming up. From fireworks to Farmers’ Markets, Diva Nights to car shows, fishing, fairs and festivals, we’ve been planning for your arrival.

We do ask that you leave our home a little better than you found it; return that shopping cart, scoop the dog’s – ah – leftovers, put the litter and recycling where it belongs, and even contribute to our local food bank or other important charities. You deserve that sense of belonging, too.

To all of our local residents and businesses: We have reason to be proud, and even more reason to be appreciative.

This year, we applauded many new businesses and services as they opened their doors in our area villages and towns.

We are all in the business of service.

We’re the ambassadors of welcome to our neighbours, our colleagues and our guests.

Douglas Adams said, “To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.”

Everyone: Put on your biggest smiles; take a bow. We get to do it again!

Rev. David and Marion Reeve

David Reeve and his wife Marion are moving to Peterborough to a retirement residence around June 15th. They have lived in Victoria Place for 19 years. David, a retired minister, and Marion have both been actively involved in Trinity Church and in the community.

David formed Environmental Action Bobcaygeon in 2006 – initially to investigate the possibility of re-opening the dam here and to examine local environmental issues. David and Marion are very much admired and respected by many friends. They will be greatly missed. P l a n s are under way for a farewell service for Marion and David, followed by a short reception in the church hall. If interested, please call Trinity Church office at 705.738.5135, for more details.

Forgotten, Not!

The last 12 months have witnessed ratepayer activism as never seen before in the Bobcaygeon area.

Residents of the Township of Trent Lakes (so much for the historic Harvey, Galway and Cavendish townships) a mere year ago rose up to the local councilors letting a quarry application, via zoning changes, slide quickly through without critique. When ratepayers sniffed the odour of the action they rallied and over 500 met to speak their mind.

From June 2012 onwards the questions and thus the inquisition into good governance escalated. After the township representatives voted in favour (one opposed seeing perhaps their council seat was indeed in jeopardy), residents individually and through the NPLRA’s actions kept asking for more consultation as they found weaknesses in various studies used to approve the rezoning.

When the issue made its way in 2013 to the County of Peterborough Council, there was, for once, open and intellectually stimulating debate in the council chambers. Finally one had to be impressed with the inquisition the proposal received. Not to belabor the point but the actions of the NPLRA and the Curve Lake Nation have managed to delay but not stop the process.

As a witness to council proceedings and reports by township and county staff, I feel it has been a battle against all those who represent us which is

not what I envisaged of individuals who work for the ratepayers. I think it is “us” they represent and “us” who pay them.

The outcome moves slowly to what appears an inevitable approval from there to the OMB perhaps.

For those of us who care about good governance we move on to finding a new slate of citizens who will step up and truly represent our interests. Let the campaign begin!

By Gord Killen

At a special Council meeting on May 07, there was only one item on the agenda, the flood. City of Kawartha Lakes Council unanimously approved the application to the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program (ODRAP) and has requested that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing declare portions of the municipality as ‘disaster areas’. In order for the City to qualify for ODRAP, a number of issues must be addressed: • Overall damage must be in excess of $3.5 million to qualify and the City is claiming $3.8 million.

• Even then the Ministry of Natural Resources has a formula for the disposition of funds particularly for private residents who have been adversely affected by the flooding. For example: for every $10,000 committed by the City they would provide $18,000.

MNR Flood Warning remains in effect for the Gull River system. Water bodies throughout the Gull River Watershed remain high as water makes its way through the system. Flooding continues in

local rivers and lakes.

Inflows in the upper Gull watershed continue to decline and the Trent-Severn Waterway (TSW) continues to assess the situation and make operational decisions on a daily basis. The waterway system is scheduled to open on May 17th.

The Kawartha Conservation Flood Warning for Balsam, Cameron, Sturgeon and Pigeon Lakes is no longer in effect.

There are those affected by the flooding that do not have ample monetary resources to see them through this difficult time. Therefore, the City of Kawartha Lakes has set up a trust fund to help facilitate private donations for disaster relief.

Donations will be accepted at all Municipal Service Centers and can be made at the Lindsay Royal Bank, to the Disaster Relief Trust Account. Donations can also be made online at www.city.kawarthalakes. on.ca/donate. Charitable Donation receipts will be issued for all donations over $10.

When you read this, we’ll already be half way through May. Everyone will be busy planting, and cutting their lawns, and cleaning, sorting and discarding a variety of things. Which brings me to this reminder.

The Kinette Trinket, Treasure and Trash sale is on Saturday, July 13.

We will be accepting donations of just about everything except clothing until the end of June. I always get a great feeling of accomplishment when, after deciding what I am going to get rid of, I take it where it will do a lot of good (and quickly, before I change my mind). It’s the same place as each year on County Rd. 8, just outside of town. For information call Betty Ann 705.738.3670 or June 738.2210.

As I write this, Mother’s Day is just around the corner and at our May meeting, we will host Mothers, Daughters, Granddaughters and friends for an evening of fun and games. The holiday weekend follows quickly and then on May 24, 25 and 26 we will be running a food booth at the Walleye Tournament.

Here’s to this beautiful weather continuing and a great May to everyone.

Horoscopes

For May 17 to May 31, 2013 Melodie McCullough

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Dear Aries – you are the life and soul of the party. But you already knew that, didn’t you? You also love to talk about your wild and wacky adventures and few people are bored listening to an Aries. Keep talkin’!

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Career-wise, Taurus, you seek a secure and steady job. You work best in a routine, not liking any drastic changes. This doesn’t mean you can’t be creative when you need to be.

You are hard working, reliable and trustworthy – a credit to any employer.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) May’s full moon is known as the Milk Moon or Flower Moon and appears May 25 this year. Plants are blooming everywhere – it’s time for you to bloom, too, Gemini. Set a goal and go after it.

Cancer (June 23 to Jul 23) Technology is a wonderful thing, but texts and emails can be misconstrued.

Why not talk things over face to face? You may be able reach an easier solution this way, Taurus. No matter how you communicate, remember to remain calm throughout.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Strength in the face of challenge and adversity is what you have to offer the world, dear Leo. You seem to know instinctively how to nurture yourself. You are wise beyond your years!

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Virgo – there are lots of things happening in and around Bobcaygeon this

time of year. It’s easy to volunteer and get involved in your community. It’s a great way to meet new friends while “giving back”. We suggest you give it a try!

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Self-inflicted stress: the voluntary creation of too much to do in too little time. Are you suffering from this, Libra? Living in Hypertime? Perhaps it’s time to “unstructure” yourself. Learn to say no. Learn to calm down.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Mistakes are a fact of life, Scorpio. We all know this rationally. But so many times we or someone we know makes a mistake, and we think it’s the end of the world – and we blow a fuse. Mistakes will happen time and again – it’s our reaction that matters!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Fear not! Sometimes fear gets a grip on us and seems to never let go. It’s up to you, Sag, to cut the rope that ties you to that loathsome dread. Free yourself!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Wow! Everything is about to take a turn for the better, Capricorn – and you are right smack in the middle of it all. Make the most of this wonderful time!

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) I’m still here. Those, Aquarius, are the words to which you must pay attention during this phase of your life. You must maintain conscious contact with yourself, even though responsibilities, relationships and obligations get in the way. Please make time for you.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) “Think for yourself and let others enjoy the right to do the same”: Voltaire. It is good to have opinions, Pisces. Remember, though, that others may not share yours all the time. It is also good to live in a society where others’ opinions can also count for something. Try to see someone else’s viewpoint at this time.

The Coboconk & District Lions Club has started its 12th season that began on April 30. Twelve years ago, the Lions club saw a need for sport in the small village, and they wanted to provide it at a reasonable price for families, and have it all on one night. They easily reached their goal as the league grew quickly over a few short years and is now at its maximum capacity. Children ages 3 to 11 enjoy house league soccer at the Legion field in Coboconk on Tuesday nights. Coboconk and area businesses continue to generously support this activity.

The quiet village comes alive on Tuesday nights. One of the great things about teaching children to play soccer is that it is a team sport and involves many of the skills children need to succeed in their future development.

To play soccer, kids need to learn how to communicate with one another respectfully and responsively, as they have to work together. They have to learn to share; they have to come together as a group to meet a common goal and help each other.

The Coboconk Lions are delighted to offer this wonderful opportunity to their community.

Ready, Set… SPLASH! Count down to Splash Pad 2013.

It will have been three years from concept to Photo: Heather Harrison, completion when the Splash Pad Director Bobcaygeon Splash Pad opens on June 6, says director Heather Harrison.

Students of Bobcaygeon Public School will join other members of the public to celebrate the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Tommy Anderson Park.

The event begins at noon.

Heather says she helped launch the project when co-director, teacher Lindsey Wesslink first approached her with the idea.

Heather took it on, “In memory of my parents, Monty and Nancy Crowe, and because I grew up playing ball at the park. We hope this project will revitalize the park. It’s a great place to play.”

“The splash pad is a safe and fun place to cool off all summer,” she adds.

According to Heather, Public School students raised approximately $15,000 of the $135,000 needed by organizing Spaghetti Dinner – assisted by teaching staff – and Dance-a-thon events. “It’s very important that the kids helped because it gives them

a sense of ownership.

The majority of funding and contributions in kind came from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, City of Kawartha Lakes and Hydro One, along with business and individual contributions. Former Bobcaygeon resident, Ada O’Neill donated a portion of her property to provide access to the water hookup.

The public is invited to attend the opening on June 6, rain or shine. “No guarantees it will be a nice day but we’re just glad we’re opening!”

You can go for the view or go for the food. Either way, it’s a summer delight to visit Chez Catalina.

Nawal Azar-Hage says, “This year, we changed the menu and based it on all of the dishes our customers loved last year.” The Mediterranean and Canadian menu is extensive and complete with delicious vegetarian options. The “we” is Nawal and husband, Joe.

This is their second summer at the waterfront restaurant.

“My husband cooks. That’s why I married him,” she laughs.

They’ve been married 28 years.

They use local sources when possible and take great pride in their offerings.

“It’s fresh everything, natural everything, including vegetables, honey and maple syrup. There are no preservatives and everything is made from scratch,” she says. While Joe cooks, she manages the restaurant and gift store.

The couple grew up in Lebanon where, Nawal says, “I learned amazing cooking from my mother and grandma. Old country family recipes. In our culture, cooking is the art of love. Joe learned from his mother.”

The Lebanese specialties feature Souvlaki, Kafta, Falafel and Zattar – a breakfast pizza combining oil, thyme, pistachio, and sesame seed. Ribs, chicken wings and pizza are just some of the Canadian fare.

Open Tuesday through Sunday, May through Thanksgiving Weekend, 7 am to 9 pm. Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Nightly specials run all season, such as Tuesday for Senior Citizens (they get a 20 percent meal discount), Wednesday for Children (the first child dines for free, the second for half price…) Thursday is Rib Night. Friday features pizza specials and Saturday is Party Night with great prices for wings and beverages.

A traditional specialty is Mezza. As Nawal explains, Mezza is, “Like a little buffet when people want to celebrate, for example.” It’s an 18 item Lebanese feast of flavours – a dinner that serves four. Nawal says it is often accompanied by Arak, liquor similar to Ouzo.

When you travel to Chez Catalina and wish to enjoy a cold drink, your designated driver is treated to complimentary nonalcoholic beverages.

There’s even a 70-year-old resident turtle near the dock, and plenty of fish to feed. “You must order the fish food,” Nawal smiles, “although the fish food is free.”

Reservations are recommended for this casual, family restaurant. Takeout is available, too, and there’s ample free docking and parking.

Nan’s Crossroads Ask Brittnee Creagmile-Auer how she came to name her shop Nan’s Crossroads and the reply itself reveals much about the young woman herself. Creative, lovely, enthusiastic – a heart of gold.

As sweet as her welcome is, Nan’s Crossroads is a treat for the senses. The shop is visually inviting with artistic and fanciful displays in every spot. And there’s always a delicious scent to greet you.

Brittnee opened the store on March 15, 2013 with plans for the Grand Opening to follow on Victoria Day Weekend. Now it’s time. She invites everyone to come celebrate the official celebration, Thursday, May 17 through Monday, May 20 from 10 am.

“Everyone who comes in here says beautiful things,” Brittnee says. “It’s always so positive. And the business people around here are such great neighbours.”

Country home décor, antiques, gifts, crocheted baby blankets and gift baskets, candles, signs, whimsical and practical items, too – everything you can imagine and more.

She supports local talent and vendors including Archer Photography, Kristine Hannah Boudoir, Farm Girl Creations and Amedaya spa products.

Asked what makes Nan’s Crossroads different, Brittnee says, “There is no other business like mine with everything all in one shop. There’s a warm, inviting atmosphere in this historic schoolhouse.

It’s a Century building.” She kept as much of the original house as intact as possible – the floors, the concrete wall, chalkboard ledge…” It’s pretty much perfect.

“Like” her on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ NansCrossroads so you can keep up with Brittnee’s daily posts on shop hours, ideas and specials. For example, customers don’t pay sales tax throughout the Grand Opening.

The inspiration for the name of her shop? We’ll let Brittnee tell you. It’s worth seeing her smile.

“Décor for every room in your home.

Gifts for everyone on your list. Spring, summer, fall and winter, Nan’s Crossroads will be here changing with the seasons! I look forward to meeting you.” – Brittnee

Message from the Mayor Ric McGee

Greetings Kawartha Lakes I want to take a moment to remind everyone to think of those people that were impacted by the recent flooding along the Black, Burnt and Gull River watersheds. Many people are still cleaning up and some people lost everything. If you have the ability to assist these fellow residents, please consider making a donation at one of the Municipal Service Centres, at the Royal Bank in Lindsay or online at www.city.kawarthalakes.on.ca/donate. A tax receipt will be issued for every donation over $10.00.

As the recent flooding reminds us that we have an abundance of water, many communities throughout the world are challenged with the quality and quantity of water that is available to them. That is the reason we have chosen to focus on water as one of our priorities with our partners Fleming College, Trent University, the Ontario Clean Water Agency, Kawartha Conservation, etc. along with many private sector partners. To support these priorities, millions of dollars have been received in grants from the Federal and Provincial Government and private sector business partners.

Pursuing the economic benefits of this international priority is the reason that your Council for the City of Kawartha Lakes supported the hiring of Tonya Kraan, Manager of Innovation in October of 2012. Tonya has extensive experience in International business and product development and has negotiated multi-million dollar contracts in 20+ countries. Tonya specializes in assisting small and medium sized enterprises find market opportunities for their innovations through market research, distribution/licensing agreements, patents, promotional activities, piloting and certification.

With the skills that Tonya brings to Kawartha Lakes, her first initiative was to create the Water Research & Innovation Network. WRAIN has been designed as a ‘one stop’ solution for the water industry to accelerate market adoption of new technologies through collaboration and

demonstration sites throughout Kawartha Lakes. The network consists of researchers, municipal services and economic development professionals. You may already know of some of the exciting projects taking place in Kawartha Lakes in conjunction with our partners. Over the next number of months, Tonya will be featured right here in The Promoter where she will provide regular updates on projects and the success of our knowledge economy and innovation initiatives.

In an effort to bring our waterfront associations together in one spot to discuss our water agenda, I will be hosting a meeting for waterfront property associations to discuss the possibilities of forming a large waterfront organization to provide input to government on waterfront issues and to also assist with propelling our water quality strategy in Kawartha Lakes. The meeting will be held on Sunday, July 7, 2013 beginning at 9AM at the new Fenelon Falls Community Centre. Watch The Promoter for more details.

Exciting times are ahead for Kawartha Lakes and this new thinking in an ever changing and new world is exactly what we must embrace if we are to realize our true potential. Here’s wishing you and yours a safe and enjoyable (sunny) summer. Please feel free to contact me if you would like additional information on this exciting new venture. Along with you, I look forward to reading Tonya’s updates in upcoming editions.

Kawartha Cooks

Featuring Christopher Tuberdyke So, it may sound a little hippie / tree-hugger, but baking your own granola is super easy, cheap, and requires little work. The best thing about it is that any granola you can think of is just a variation of the same simple formula. Just change the ingredients of the mixture to suit your tastes. Hate raisins? Leave them out! Love coconut? Add some more! Below you will find a simple recipe and some ideas to help you get started. Oh yeah, by the way, your house will smell amazing after making this.

What you’ll need: 3 cups grains (rolled oats, barley, rye, quinoa, etc.)

1 1/2 cups raw nuts 3/4 cup sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave) 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 3/4 tsp salt 1 1/2 cup seeds (pumpkin, flax, sesame, sunflower, etc) 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut 1 tsp spices of your choice (cinnamon, ginger, clove...)

1 cup dried fruit What to do: 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

2. C ombine grain, nuts, seeds, salt, and spices in a large bowl.

3. Add your sweetener and oil and stir until totally combined.

4. Spread mixture onto parchment lined baking sheets and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, break up and stir mixture again, then return for an additional 15 minutes or until golden and fragrant.

(Note – it won’t be crispy right away, but will firm up and set as it cools.)

5. Remove from oven; cool in pan. Mix in dried fruit.

Store in airtight containers.

Now here are some combo ideas to help you get started: Pecan/ Cranberry/Flax/Pumpkin Pie Spice Cashew/Mango/Sesame/Ginger Almonds/Apricots/Pumpkin Seeds/Cinnamon The combo’s are endless – enjoy. Happy baking!

UNLOCK THE SUMMER Kicks Off June 1

The Bobcaygeon & Area Chamber of Commerce kicks off the summer season with its annual Unlock the Summer celebration on Saturday, June 1, 2013.

Among the highlights of this year’s event will be the official opening of new docks at Lock 32.

According to Media Contact, Louise Lavere, there are some big changes this year.

“The focus is on the merchants and restaurants who are the heart and soul of Unlock the Summer.

We showcase our local merchants and our families.

We’re reshaping our Kids’ Zone and bringing back a lot of the old favourites such as the Lions Duck

Race and the Soap Box Derby. The Derby is a huge success with a limited time to run the event so people need to pre-register.”

There’s a full day of Unlock the Summer activities including: • Kawartha Spirit Cruises, • Unlock the Prizes promotion at participating merchants, • Kids’ Zone featuring Zoo to You and more, • Bigley’s Walk for the Cause, • Buckeye Surf & Snow’s Discovery Kayaking.

Wildhart Equestrian

Like all animal lovers, horse owners want the best environment for their friends, for both their physical and mental well-being. Horses have complex needs, which vary with personality, breed, age and activity.

The owners at Wildhart Equestrian meet these needs by adopting a horse’s perspective and providing as natural an environment as possible for horses, while keeping the horses fit and available for their owners’ equestrian activities.

Life at Wildhart means some of the horses have free access to open hilltop pastures while others spend the nights in comfortable stalls and their days in spacious, grassy paddocks.

Each horse is treated as an individual. Because it’s a smaller facility, horse owners can arrange for a customized feed and care program for their special horse.

Wildhart offers a low key, friendly environment, with trails on and around the property – 100 acres of rolling, natural hills and valleys. For those interested in eventing, cross-country training jumps will be available.

Wildhart is a new business in the Fenelon Falls area, with the custom-built barn completed in mid 2012.

There’s already a friendly, mixed group of boarders enjoying the Wildhart experience but some space is still available for newcomers.

Health & Wellness COMMUNITY CARES

No one reading this needs to be told that we are fortunate to live in a beautiful part of the country, and there are certain settings at specific times of the year that are unrivaled for the enjoyment, scenery and ambience. Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes is fortunate to be offering such an experience for those who wish to take part in the upcoming second annual Care Gala at Eganridge Inn and Spa.

The event will be Thursday, June 6 and tickets are selling quickly. Those who attended the first Care Gala last year enjoyed a wonderful dinner prepared by Eganridge’s talented staff, along with the grand setting of a beautiful night overlooking Sturgeon Lake.

This year’s event will include live musical entertainment by local pianist James Ursel, as well as live and silent auctions featuring items including jewelry, art and exciting experiences.

Funds raised through the Care Gala will support the Community Care Foundation, which works hard to generate support that enhances the programs and services of Community Care.

Though a large amount of the agency’s services are funded by government, the organization must also raise money within the community in order to show the public’s support, and to make up the difference for programs that are not fully funded.

Anyone interested in supporting Community Care through the Care Gala can contact the agency at 705-3247323, or visit www.communitycare.on.ca for more information.

Tickets are $100 each and include complimentary appetizers, dinner and a tax receipt for a portion of the price.

Great food, a wonderful setting and a good cause. What more can you ask for?

A “SOFT” Approach to Foot Pain

For anyone suffering from foot, heal, or ankle pain, there’s nothing “soft” about it. In fact, the “hard” truth is that the pain can be so severe as to become debilitating.

However, the acronym “SOFT” (Structure, Over-use, Footwear, Trauma) is a helpful way for patients to understand foot-related pain and some of the

things we look at as chiropodists when first diagnosing and treating it.

1. Structure – Just as no two snowflakes are alike, the same holds true for feet. The reality is that few of us are born with an “ideal” foot, but there is a range of normal in which your feet function most effectively.

Structural issues like flat feet, high arches, or other concerns can be increasingly problematic the further they are from this normal range. The result can be pain in the feet,

heels, and ankles, and may even affect joints and soft tissue right up to the back, since all of these are connected in what’s known as the gait cycle.

2. Over-use – Yes, spring is sprung, the grass is ris’, you wonder why that heel pain is? The sudden onset of activity after a winter of more sedentary activity, heavy physical training, or intensive work-related activity may cause tissues to become inflamed and tender. Over-use injuries are a sign that your body is trying to repair itself and that you need to give it a break. However, ignoring them can result in the pain becoming a more stubborn chronic (long-term) problem, and may even cause structural foot issues such as heel or bone spurs to happen over time.

3. Footwear – Okay, so most of us understand (but

may choose to ignore it!) that footwear like high heels or flip-flops are less than ideal. However, fewer of us recognize how important it is to match the kind of footwear you choose to your foot type. Not every shoe is suitable to every foot, and your chiropodist can provide unbiased, expert advice on the kind of footwear best suited to your foot either as part of your treatment for pain or to prevent it.

4. Trauma – Traumatic injuries like those experienced in car accidents and other less severe mishaps can have long-term impacts that result in chronic pain.

The foot can be structurally disfigured or tissues can be damaged in ways that cause functional impairment – preventing your foot from working as it should. Your chiropodist’s treatment strategy will help to normalize foot function while addressing the pain.

From the Team at Kawartha Total Foot Care Centre

Patients Ask

“Can You Help Me With My Pain?”

It’s the first question I hear when they find out I am a Chiropractor & Acupuncture Provider.

Unfortunately, chronic pain is at an all-time high among people of different age groups. Many patients go through similar pain cycles, which lead to a decrease in their normal activities, and ultimately a decrease in mood. After taking medications and undergoing surgery, many are still left with lingering pain, prompting them to search for options.

Acupuncture is the treatment I strongly recommend.

Acupuncture is a 3,000-year-old practice that involves inserting needles into specific points of the body. This helps to release natural chemicals in

your brain and can relieve many conditions effectively and safely.

Patients are routinely treated for neck and low back pain, arthritis, sciatica, migraines, fibromyalgia, numbness, tingling and even allergies. The possibilities are endless. With an extremely high success rate and minimal incidence of side effect, patients often see significant improvements in their health and well-being in a very short period of time.

Each treatment plan is individualized to make sure that we are not only treating the pain, but improving overall health and wellness for years to come.

Healthy patients means building healthier communities!

INSIGHTS

Life Within Our Community I was lying out on the back deck with my boys recently, our necks craned to look at the sky as we waited for the meteor shower to begin. A chorus of “When is it going to happen?”, “What does it look like?”, “Don’t eat all the popcorn!” and “I am thirsty!” waffled out any hope of hearing the finer chorus of nature as we witnessed the glory of our universe.

I realized what a crime it is that my own children clearly don’t understand the art of patience.

Everything is expected to happen instantly.

Gratification is expected right now and not as a gift that comes as a result of patience. Waiting to find out the gender of your baby has been thrown the wayside with the technology of ultrasound.

Cooking a meal is done in an instant so we don’t have to

wait. We don’t save for the big purchases anymore; we just slap it on a credit card because we want it now. We have lost the feeling that comes from working hard for something, achieving that goal and then buying it. Even as I was lying there, I remembered how, as kids, we used to lay on the slabs of wood behind our old house, looking at our worn constellation map, which had come in our World magazine. Even that has been replaced by the new technology of a Constellation app on the iPad, which is instantly

downloaded.

Patience is becoming a lost art. It’s something we must work at over time. Whether it is selling a house, waiting for good weather to get here, hockey to be over, or to begin, sometimes we waste more time on impatience and lose out on the lessons that can be found simply in the waiting.

IF IT’S SPRING

The Joy of Asparagus If it’s spring then it must be asparagus season!

Ontario asparagus is plentiful in May and June so make the most of this time by choosing the freshest asparagus you can find. Use the tips and recipes below for some

Nutrition Spotlight Asparagus is an excellent source of folate, which helps to build new red blood cells and lowers the risk of having a baby with birth defects. It may also help reduce the risk of heart disease.

Asparagus is also a source of vitamin A and vitamin C. Shopping and Storing Choose asparagus spears that are

straight, crisp and have tight green or purple tips. Whether you choose thick or thin spears is a matter of personal taste – both will be delicious! To store asparagus, wrap the ends in a damp paper towel and then cover with plastic wrap. You can also stand the ends up straight in a container of water. Asparagus can be stored for 4–5 days in the refrigerator, but to make the most of their fresh spring flavour, eat them as soon as possible.

Preparing Asparagus is quick and easy to prepare in a variety of ways.

Perfect for busy nights when you want a no-fuss dish! Wash the asparagus in cold water to remove sand or dirt.

Ideas to Cook Asparagus • Keep asparagus crisp and green by steaming in a tightly covered pot for 4–8 minutes. Serve with light mayo or a sprinkle of lemon.

• Drizzle asparagus with olive oil and lemon, and then roast in the oven. Grate a little Parmesan cheese over the hot asparagus and serve. (Mmm with fresh garlic!)

• Take advantage of the warmer weather and grill asparagus on the barbeque.

• Teach the kids to prepare their own asparagus for an afternoon snack. Cover asparagus with 2 tbsp of water and place in microwave on high for 4–6 minutes. Serve with some light ranch sauce for dipping. (And don’t forget to remind them about microwave safety.)

• Add asparagus to soups, salads, pastas, stir-fries, eggs and other favourite dishes.

COMPANION GARDENING It’s Time!

Bobcaygeon Farmers’ Market Opens The Bobcaygeon Farmers’ Market launches its fourth season on Saturday, May 18 with a free pancake breakfast and local maple syrup!

The Market is open Saturdays, 8 am to 1 pm, rain or shine, until October 14. Find it at The Bobcaygeon Fairgrounds.

The Market features local fresh produce, honey, maple syrup, herbs, cut flowers, annual and perennial plants, and red wiggler compost. Plus, discover award-winning cheeses, meats, preserves, baked goods, prepared foods and a unique variety of handcrafted items.

Market shopping is a great way to enjoy local food at the height of its natural freshness. We are committed to supporting local farmers, producers and artisans, all of whom operate within 100 km of the Market.

Now that spring planting season is in full swing, it’s worth considering the practice of planting companion style gardening.

Since most Herbicides and Pesticides have been banned, your goal is to create a great garden without these chemicals which is where companion gardening comes into play.

Just like people, plants form relationships with each other. Where some varieties get along together, others may not. That’s the premise of companion in its simplest form.

When certain supportive plants are in close proximity to each other, they can assist in repelling or even destroying harmful insects; discourage the intrusion of other detrimental plants and dominating weeds.

There are countless combinations of companions in the garden. Here are just a few:

Carrots love tomatoes – makes your carrots sweeter.

Green beans will protect eggplants from Colorado Potato Beetles.

Place radishes in your lettuce rows – Make lettuce juicy and tender.

Parsley plants – Repel carrot flies, so plant those two crops together.

The best books I found on this subject is, “Carrots Love Tomatoes”. It has hundreds of ways to do companion gardening successfully. This book contains countless helpful tips on how you can have a successful garden without dangerous chemicals.

You can get this book at Kawartha Hydroponics at Lindsay and Kent Street in Lindsay. Also, when you are there check out all the neat stuff they have to help you grow a fantastic garden.
