INDEX Continued from page 1 I’ve had a ‘bee in my bonnet’ over the fact that Apsley has never had Highway 28 signage like our other hamlets of Big Cedar and Woodview since before I was ever elected to Council. With my ap-pointment as Chair of the North Kawartha Com-munity Planning Committee my first initiative was to look into this and other signage issues within our township. What we discovered is that the Ministry of Transportation has criteria governing the use of boundary signs: For a town to qualify for Boundary Signs it must be officially recognized as a Lower Tier, Upper Tier, Single Tier or Formerly Incorporated Municipality. On top of this, the official town limits must cross the highway to be eligible.

The MTO never realized that Apsley does meet this criteria and nobody ever thought to question it... until now! After several emails back and forth between the Township and the MTO, Council passed a motion approving the erection of boundary signs and a week before Christmas the new signs were installed. I would like to thank the committee members and staff along with the MTO for their ef-forts in getting Apsley the recognition it deserves!

Now on to our other projects: distance signage at the junctions of townships roads and highway 28, new municipal entrance signs, beautification and much more... stay tuned.

Sincerely,

Councillor Carolyn Amyotte

The Handmade and Homegrown Apsley Ar-tisans Christmas Show and Sale was held at the Legion Hall on November 26 and 27th 2011. The yearly event was a resounding success. There was a festive feeling in the air and Legion was transformed in the spirit of the season with colour and décor. The local vendors displayed a beautiful selection of their wares. Many thanks to musicians Kirk Bates and Rick Johnston who provided live music both days with people spontaneously singing along. The artisans wish to thank the Legion for the Hall and especially Frank Pacheco for his assist-ance in set up and take-down. Clockwise in photos: Rick Johnston and Kirk Bates

Lion’s Report January 2012 By Brenda Lenson

Well it didn’t look a lot like Christmas, but we had our Santa Claus Parade on Sunday, December 4th. The rain held off long enough for Santa to make it to the NKCC where the Children’s Christmas Party took place. We had a great turnout for the party and hopefully a good time was had by all. Thank you to Jim Eadie for entertaining the kids; the Apsley Skating Club; the staff at the NKCC and especially to Santa! We are now working diligently on the Winter Carnival which will be held February 24-26th. This is the first time that this will be a three day event. Tentative plans are for the Friday night to be a Wing Nite; casino and “Apsley’s Got Talent”. Come on out and join us to kick start the weekend. Saturday will be the dog sled events; skijoring; amateur dog pull; vendors; kid’s activities; snowmobilers; ice sculpture contest; mini spa for the ladies; hockey tournament; and other events. The Legion will be serving dinner at the NKCC from 3 pm till 6pm. Sun-day will be a continuation of the hockey tournament and brunch will be served in the Community Center. As we firm up more events, we will be posting them on bulletins and flyers around town. We hope you will all mark your calendars and come on out and make this a real success. Any high school students who are looking for com-munity service hours, call Lion Paul at (705)656-2088, we can always use volunteers. If you are interested in being a vendor for this event, please contact Lion Brenda at (705)656-9254.

A NEW YEARS’ RESOLUTION If time is on your side and you are looking for a New Year’s resolution why not try volunteerism. Apsley is so fortune to have many organizations that would love for you to donate your precious time. It has been proven that when you volunteer you could add one to two years to your life. Not a bad return for a few hours of fun. I think it has to do with the excitement and the enjoyment that one feels as we interact with others. It not only exercises your heart but your mind too. Next time you are sitting around watching tel-evision keep in mind that all you are doing is making the networks and satellite companies rich with your precious time. Why then not take it and donate to an organization. If you think you do not have that extra time just remember this year February has 29 days so already there is twenty four extra hours on your side. As a last note I want to thank my comrades at the Legion for voting me the Legionnaire of the year. This was sure the icing on the cake but let me tell you that the cake was the fun I had in volunteering. So go out there, volunteer and have fun.

In the last few months Bill has lost interest in eve-rything he once loved. He used to read Science books and books about the Second World War. Now he leafs through the Legion Magazine and tries to read a bit. The only walking he does is inside. He walks back and forth and back and forth. We live in only 850 square feet which is filled with furniture. I’ve done my best to clear his way as much as possible. Watching the televi-sion was good for a while but now he says his eyes get sore so an hour is all he can stand. His favorite activity is sitting or lying in his oversized chair with his eyes shut, listening to his new stereo. It’s been said that ‘Mu-sic sooths the Soul’ and I am here to say it sure enough does. One time I had to go to Newmarket for a Medical appointment. That’s a long way to drive so it takes three days, one to go, one to visit Doctor and one to get home. Bill went to the Hastings Manor. Even though we went over these plans many times he was surprised when I left. He said, “I’ve been set-up” He did well there but was still overjoyed to come home. I’m glad as well.

Just as I think Bill can’t reason anymore, I had a bit of a reality check. I had a bad hacking cough which was keeping us both awake. I told Bill I was moving to a spare bedroom so he could get to sleep. Sometime later he woke up and started looking for me. He really got spooked when he saw the car was missing as well, (it was getting repaired). I woke at 3 a.m. with the sound of a man’s voice that wasn’t Bill’s. Bill apparently had been up for quite awhile as he struggled to discover which digit preceded 11 for emergency. The 611 opera-tor told him to try 911 and soon he was speaking to the police and reporting the loss of his wife. Now I’m wondering who is it that has Alzheimer’s?

Dorothy, a long time resident of Apsley, passed away November 24, 2011 at the hospital in Peterbor-ough. Dorothy and her husband William lived in Apsley for over 30 years and they got to know many people in the community.

I first met Dorothy and Bill back in 1986 and we be-came good friends and over the years we had so much fun together. We spent lots of time travelling around and just enjoying life. As Dorothy would say, “We are just two crazy women on the loose.” She had a beauti-ful smile and a great sense of humor and she enjoyed her life in Apsley. I know I will miss her very much because she made a difference in my life.

So to you, my dear friend, I raise my glass and say goodbye to a lovely lady that I will miss.

She will be missed by all who knew her in the com-munity.

Goodbye, My Friend, Goodbye.

Has the sequencing of the hu-man genome and the concomitant discovery of its 3 billion base pairs contributed to a belief or a non-belief in God? You be the judge.

Previous to the start of the new mil-lennium many scientists and millions of people around the world believed that the informational properties in-herent in nature indicated the product

of an undirected process such as natural selection act-ing on random chemical variations. However, following the April 14th 2003 presentation by Venter and Collins of the complete sequencing of the 3 billion base pairs extant in the human genome, biologists and philoso-phers began to question the validity of chance being responsible for the infinite complexities it revealed. We now know that every cell in our body consists of a code that is 3 billion letters long. Letters, because like a computer’s code of zeros and ones, each of our cells has specific variations of 3 billion letters called A, T, G and C. To grasp the amount of DNA information in one cell, a live reading of that code at a rate of three letters per second would take thirty-one years .

Many scientists believe that the sequencing of the hu-man genome and its on-going development will prove to be one of the most important discoveries in the his-tory of humanity. This ever-growing revelation presents evidence of an intelligent design behind life as we understand it, thus far. ID, as it has come to be known, is not a faith or a non-faith belief, like creationism or atheism. It is an empirically based four letter nucleotide alphabet, now referred to by leading scientists as The God Code. Its mathematical and statistical complexity has removed chance from the equation.

Atheists are understandably upset for two reasons: 1. It virtually destroys their basic premise of disbelief in anything other than chance being responsible for life. 2. In 2005, Dr. Antony Flew, arguably the world’s most respected philosopher and leading atheist, shocked millions of his followers by abandoning his atheism of 40 years. At a Texas Symposium he said: “The odds of the complexity of the DNA molecule and the hu-man genome coming about by chance is now, I believe, impossible. I have to go where the evidence leads.”

Neither the atheists or the agnostics can slough-off intelligent design as just another way of selling crea-tionism. The prominent mathematician William Dem-bski established rigorous DNA criteria which produced

a mathematically precise paradigm. A ‘specification’ long-form DNA string, with a probability of 10 to the power of 150 bits of information, exhibited a presence of intelligence that could not possibly be explained by chance. But before Dembski and Flew there was Einstein.

Sixty years before the sequencing of human DNA, the 20th century leading physicist, Albert Einstein, publicly stated his belief that an intelligent design lay behind the workings of the universe. In “The World As I See It,” he said: “The scientist is possessed by the sense of causation. The harmony of natural law reveals an intel-ligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.” Clearly, Einstein came to this conclusion, not from a religious standpoint but through the deductive process of his empirical science.

If Einstein were around today, to witness the irreduc-ible scientific methodology in decoding the human DNA molecule, he would probably say, ‘I told you so!’

Crystal GoodThe VIP of the Apsley Artisans’ Christmas Show

by Janna Brinkman

On November 26th and 27th, the Apsley Artisans’ Christmas Show was held in the Apsley Legion. The Legion Hall was beautifully decorated by the ar-tisans with seasonal decor including twinkling lights and fresh boughs of greenery. As you came in to the show the very first table was laden with very useful homemade items that Crystal had made on her sewing machine. Who is Crystal you might ask? Crystal Good was born 28 years ago with the condition of Down’s syn-drome. She is living with her Mom, Joanne and her husband Allen. She attended Apsley Central School and then went on to high-school in Peterborough.

On her table at the Christmas Show you could see items like burpees, baby blankets, potato bags for use in the micro wave, little sachets of potpourri, and of course seasonal Christmas stockings.

Those are not the only things Crystal is busy with. She enjoys making and handing out the popcorn at the Apsley Market. You could see her shyly ap-proaching people at the event and offering them free popcorn. At Community Care she volunteers; gather-ing the empty hangers, putting things in place and sweeping the floors. Crystal loves cleaning so this is not a chore for her. At the NK Food Bank she helps with stocking the shelves and putting items in shopping bags. All this is done with a big smile on her face! When relaxing Crystal loves to watch Reba and the Golden Girls on TV. I believe she is the real Golden Girl from Apsley and a great addition to our Com-munity! Our hats go off to Crystal and her Mom! Crystal you are a very important person!

Wayne Martin Remembered

A life force has left us. Wayne Martin lived, loved and worked hard. He could and did turn every event, large or small into a good time.

Alas, his time came, as always, too soon. He had retired from his work as a commercial graphics profes-sional, and had planned to retire to paint, do wood-work and enjoy life at his and Wendy’s cottage on Jack Lake. In a cruel irony he had no sooner retired than he was diagnosed with cancer of the brain. He under-went all the nasty travails that fighting cancer requires. And to the astonishment of all, he recovered and began to pick up where he had left off. In this regard he and his wife Wendy sold their Orono home, and prepared to remodel their cottage, and build a studio-workshop for his creative pursuits.

Wayne Martin was the Editor of the Apsley Voice for three years from 2007 to 2010. His knowledge of graphic design and of printed space management elevated the Voice to a highly respected monthly book. Wayne donated his talent by creating the graphic symbol of the Summer FunFest put on by the Apsley Legion and was working on the Lions’ Winterfest when he died.

Wayne, had recently undergone another round of Chemo, and was tired and gradually lost his normal vigor. On Sunday December 11, 2011 while at his cottage winterizing his infamous pump system, he col-lapsed and died with Wendy at his side. At 64, this life force was brought down. The wild and improbable stories can be told, the colorful memories recalled, but in the end, a man who faced everything in life whether a leaking pump, a publishing deadline, cancer and its accompanying terrors, always with a positive outlook, a hearty drink, and a determination to prevail that was nothing less than extraordinary.

He leaves Wendy his wife, a loving daughter, son, and the loves of his life, two granddaughters. And, he leaves a giant emptiness along Shady Lane where his voice, his singing and his bugle will be silenced - except to those of us who remember.

Barrie Richardson.Neighbor …. and one of Wayne’s many friends on

Shady Lane

Publisher’s Note:

We strongly endorse the accolades expressed in Barry’s article. Wayne did several years of excellent work for the Apsley Voice and we are sorry to hear of his passing.

Native Wild Bees Cause a Ground Swell of Activity in East/Central Ontario

When most people think about bees, they think hives, honey, and bee stings—in other words, they think about a single species of bee…the domesticated honey bee, a native of Europe that was brought to North America by colonizers in the 1700s. However, Ontario boasts more than 400 species of its own na-tive bees: None live in hives, none produce honey for human consumption, and very few sting! Because of their crucial role as pollinators of the food plants that feed humans and wild creatures alike, these bees are increasingly becoming a priority for conservation activity in the east central region of Ontario.

Recently, Farms at Work, a regional not-for-profit organization whose mission is to help keep farmland active and healthy was awarded a 3-year grant from the MNR’s Species at Risk Stewardship Fund to raise awareness about the endangered Rusty-patched Bumble Bee, a wild native pollinator that only forty years ago was among the most common bees found on farms, wild areas, and urban areas of this province. In conjunction with this, both an expert survey and a citizen-scientist survey are being carried out across the province to gain more information about the present distribution of the Rusty-patched Bumble Bee. The project also presents free information sessions about the Rusty-patched Bumble Bee and wild pollinators that can be tailored to a wide variety of audiences, including children. For more information about the Rusty-patched Bumble Bee or to book an information

session, contact Susan Chan at [email protected].

Parallel to the Rusty-patched Bumble Bee Project, the Peterborough Stewardship Council has recently com-missioned the writing and printing of A Landowner’s Guide to Pollinator Conservation in Ontario—a practi-cal handbook that introduces landowners to the fasci-nating array of wild pollinators living in Ontario and suggests simple, low-cost measures that can be taken to improve pollinator habitat. This handbook will soon be released both as an online PDF and in print. The Central Ontario Beekeepers Association (COBA), with a membership of over 80 beekeepers, ranging from hobbyists to commercial beekeepers, is also supporting pollinator conservation efforts. COBA members understand that the issues causing wild bee declines are the same issues that affect managed honey bees and they are taking action by distributing informa-tion tags about the endangered Rusty-patched Bumble Bee on the bottles of honey that they sell. Honey lovers who buy directly from beekeepers in the region will soon start to see these tags on the honey jars that they buy. This supportive action on the part of the region’s beekeepers will spread the word about the bee and enlist the help of citizen scientists to take photos of bumble bees in the coming season (April to October) and submit them to an online registry.

For more information about wild native pollinators, to find out how your organization can participate in this ground swell of interest in pollinator conservation, or to have access to free Rusty-patched Bumble Bee elasti-tags for use on your food product, please contact Susan Chan, 705-652-0059, [email protected]

In With The New...But What About The Old?

By Lily Hamill

Has the influx of new got you itching to get rid of the old? Before trashing all your old items, take a second look. Is there somewhere better than the land-fill for them to go?

Many items may be passed on to family members, 20 something’s often need furniture and kitchen sup-plies, others may be sold at yard sales or through free classified websites and some may be donated to local charities.

Electronics can be difficult to pass on, sell or do-nate as they become outdated quickly. Due to this, electronic waste is one of the fastest growing waste materials in North America. Additionally electronics contain both hazardous and valuable materials that can be recycled if taken to approved drop off loca-tions. The County of Peterborough is hosting several free electronics events after the holiday season.

Saturday January 14 Lakefield Arena: 9am – NoonHall’s Glen Transfer Station: 2pm – dusk

Saturday January 21Buckhorn Transfer Station: 1pm – 4pm

If you are unable to attend one of the above events, electronics may be brought free of charge to: Pido Road Depot, Bensfort Landfill, or Anstruther Lake Transfer Station for recycling.

For more information: 705-775-2737 or www.county.peterborough.on.ca.

The Woodview Neighbourhood “Good News”

by Heather Brooks Hill

The spirit of the season....no snow and no ice on the lakes....is winter here? The early darkness each day; the reluctant sunrise later each morning. A question of faith!

As one reads our January 2012 Apsley Voice, daylight each day is already longer, the darkness retreating.

The Woodview General Store is well past 3/4 of a century old. What a pleasure to see Jody, Ted and Sue honour the change of season with symbols that warm our hearts....the old fashioned sleigh, greenery and red.

For all of us in the hamlet of Woodview, the Woodview General Store on Highway 28 is a beacon of familiarity and comfort - our store and post office steadfast. There is always a smile there for you.

The Wilson Park Community Centre Christmas party early in Decmber was enjoyed by more than 79 local folks....from babies to our elders in their 80s. And, yes, Santa made it!

The Community Gardens have been put to bed for the winter. There is a quietness where productivity and activity is foremost in the other seasons.

Happy New Year. May each of us appreciate and pre-serve all and any of the rituals that serve and preserve our local communities - light, candle, star, celebration, family and friends - traditions that feed our souls and nurture our ability to live lives that are fulfilling and contributing in a good way to our Woodview neighbour-hood.

Many parents struggle with how to help their chil-dren when it comes to homework and school assign-ments. They look at the work and see it as different than what they had when they were in school or con-sider it to be a “new” way of doing it. Frustration sets in, a screaming match ensues resulting in little to no work being completed. Let’s take the guess work out of home work help. Over the next few issues of the Voice, we’ll explore ways to help with homework in the key areas: Reading, Writing and Mathematics and as well how to help with assignments without doing the work for your children. You are an important partner in your child’s educa-tion. The ideas offered here are intended to help you work with your child to improve his or her achievement in mathematics. A starting place will be a discussion with your child’s teacher as they can provide some spe-cific areas that should be a focus. They can also walk you through the work that they are doing in class and offer suggestions and strategies for areas of improve-ment. Ask your child what they have been doing in class and have them show you how they have been taught. If they are unsure, you can always have a look at the text books/activities sent home. Almost all activities will have step by step instructions or diagrams to help you and your child work through problems. Another point to remember is that math is more than homework. There are lots of things you can do to learn math in fun and non-stressful ways. Consider the math concepts that they learn from recipes, reading the newspaper and flyers, 2D and 3D shapes of items around the house or reading the times from the TV guide. Students learn more when they can “see” the ideas that are being taught. An important part of learning math is learning how to solve problems. Children are encouraged to use trial and error to develop their ability to reason and to learn how to go about problem solving. They learn that there may be more than one way to solve a problem and more than one answer. Students also learn to express themselves clearly as they explain their solutions. At Apsley we call this Making Math Thinking Visible - as we give credit to the process as well as the end result. Many people are willing to support you in helping your child learn mathematics, and there are also many resources available. A quick search of the Internet of-fers lots of ways to support mathematics learning at home. Our own School Board has recently connected

with the Ministry of Education and their Homework Help Internet Link (www.homeworkhelp.ilc.org). Students in grade 7 - 10 are able to enter a live chat room, choose a tutor and type in a mathematical ques-tion. The teacher and student will then communicate live, one-on-one, using the chat pod and an interactive whiteboard. Be sure to check out our school website (apsley.kprdsb.ca) for other great links to help increase our student achievement in math.

What kind of Woodpecker is it? – a Downy or a Hairy? How can we tell which is which? Without seeing them side-by-side, it is difficult. The Downy is sparrow-sized, 6 ¾” long; the Hairy is Robin-sized, 9 ¼ “ long. They come from a common ancestor, however and their bills tell the tale: the Hairy’s chisel-like bill is about as long as its head while the Downy has a very short, stubby, pointed bill. Males of both species have a patch of red at the back of the head. These Woodpeckers are the only ones with white backs. The Hairy gets its name from these white feathers which loosely fall over the black borders, faintly making them appear as feathers. Why don’t Woodpeckers get headaches when they whack at tree trunks to find bugs beneath the bark? It is because they have shock-absorbing bones in their heads! They eat so many harmful bugs, they are of great economic value to our world. They eat wood-boring ants, tent caterpillars, moth larvae in Cattail Marshes, and beetles. At your feeders, they like suet, seeds including sunflower, berries, cracked pecans, cheese, apple, banana, coconut, cracked corn. See if you are able to tell which woodpecker is which!

Health Unit Reminds Residents to Handle Holiday Leftovers Safely

With the holidays right around the corner, the Peterborough County-City Health Unit is reminding local residents to take care when saving leftover food to avoid illness.

The chance of food poisoning increases the longer you store food at room temperature after it has been cooked. The most important thing to remember is that once food has been cooked it should be refrigerated or frozen within two hours. Always wash your hands with soap and warm water before handling any cooked foods, especially food you store to eat later.

It is best to eat leftovers within two days. Freeze any leftovers that will not be eaten immediately, and be sure to write the date on the container.

When reheating leftovers, bring soups, sauces, and gravies to a boil. Heat all other leftovers to a mini-mum of 74°C (165°F).

If in doubt, throw it out.Chris Eaton

Public Health Inspector(705) 743-1000, ext. 225

At its December 1st meeting, the Police Serv-ices Board brought together representatives from County Public Works Department, OPP, local business, and concerned residents to find ways to deal with traffic congestion and pedestrian cross-ings at the Burleigh St “curve” between Foodland and Hunter’s in Apsley.

Staff from County Technical Services Division identified contributing factors as:-many vehicle entrances very near the curve-vehicle speeds above 50 km/hr-reduced visibility due to the curve itself and park-ing on the shoulders-pedestrian crossings at multiple locations near the curve-summer congestion leaving no gaps in traffic-frequent heavy truck traffic

The Board heard analysis of various solutions. Crosswalks are often suggested, but these create a false sense of security when there is not a clear line of sight in both directions. Speed bumps make snow clearing difficult and create slippery conditions, and flashing lights lose their effective-ness over time. Accordingly, the Board decided to recommend actions which could be done quickly, with only positive effects, and to review the situa-tion in mid-2012.

The Board made the following recommendations to North Kawartha Council for consideration at its December 20 meeting:-eliminate parking directly in front of Foodland -paint double yellow centre lines and white edge lines throughout the curve-install pedestrian crossing warning signs 100 metres north & south of the curve-monitor vehicle speeds using Community Polic-ing’s radar gun-increase OPP presence to warn or ticket speeding vehicles on Burleigh St-begin enforcement and monitoring immediately and complete all steps by Spring 2012

These measures will increase visibility for both drivers and pedestrians, will warn drivers of the upcoming congestion and pedestrian activity, and will reduce speed of vehicles in both directions. Further, the Board will continue to publicize this issue so that awareness is maintained.

The Environment Council for Clear, Ston(e)y and White Lakes had a busy 2011 as it continued to implement its Lake Plan recommendations, released in 2008. In mid-November, the Environment Council and the North Ka-wartha Lake Associations made a submission to North Kawartha Council, asking the Township to approve a septic system re-inspection program.

The submission stated that re-inspection programs elsewhere have shown that about 14 percent of septics are in need of repair or replacement. Pollution from faulty septics contributes to high levels of phosphorus, excessive algae and aquatic weed growth and bacteria levels in water.

North Kawartha Council responded that the request was being treated seriously and would be discussed further as part of the Township’s strategic planning process. The Environment Council has since written to Douro-Dummer, Smith Ennismore Lakefield and Galway Cavendish Harvey Townships to ask that they also approve re-inspection programs. Representatives from the Environment Council and the four Townships are planning to meet to discuss next steps.

During the summer, the Environment Council focused on its wetland and shoreline protection programs. The group completed its wetland evaluation program, which began in 2007 with an overview of areas believed to have important wetland features contributing to good water quality and wildlife habitat.

As a result of detailed evaluations by professional biologists in 2008 and 2009, the Hull/South Bay and Duck Pond wetlands have been designated by the Ministry of Natural Resources as Provincially Significant. Gilchrist Bay was evaluated in 2010. In summer 2011, biologists studied an area west of Mount Julian, Hamilton Bay, a large area known as the Fairy Lake Island Complex, the north and south ends of Clear Lake, and the north end of White Lake. The MNR is evaluating the data collected and will designate areas shown to be significant.

The group helped organize a Save Our Shores (SOS) workshop presented by Lakeland Alliance and other partners in early July. As a result, Lakeland Alli-ance provided a number of free shoreline restoration consultations to property owners on the lakes. The Environment Council is now working to get funding for a follow up program in summer 2012.

As the year 2011 draws to a close, we look forward to a new year at Trinity United. Many challenges were faced and dealt with by those who served. Our chair person, Kathy Northey has shown great leadership and our meetings were very cordial and orderly. Many important decisions were made. Del Manary, our treasurer, made sure our bills were paid on time and looked after all matters related to church finances. While confronted with many personal matters, Marie Watson still found time to play the organ and lead the Choir each Sunday morning. Doing the mainte-nance work and sampling the water was Henry Wagner. The Women’s UCW deserve a special thanks for their tireless work in our church. There are many more who have given of their time. Lastly we thank Rev. Joan for her dedication and service.
