FROM MY PERCH

I recently bought a small, used, aluminum canoe for $75. It’s less than 12

feet long and light enough for me to manhandle from truck to water. It’s so beamy though that each paddle stroke rotates the canoe 30 degrees. When I correct with my J-stroke, I lose almost all forward momentum. Then I discovered the double-bladed kayak paddle and doubled my speed—or more. Even better, I can stand up to paddle now too—like a stand-up paddleboard. This is jim-dandy for exercising my core muscles, improving balance (I have gone over a couple of times), and giving my legs a workout. It also offers a better view in the cattails. So now I seize every opportunity to exercise while exploring new bits of water. This spring I’ve already paddled all around Bobcaygeon and on Nogies Creek, the Burnt, Scugog, Otonabee and Mississauga Rivers, and Pigeon, Sturgeon, Clear and Katchewanooka Lakes.

The Kawarthas are my oyster. The other evening, I went over to Burleigh Falls for a late evening paddle on Lovesick Lake. A houseboat there looked familiar. Then I saw the logo on the side: “Down Yunder.” It was Kathie Schmah’s and Anne Hansom’s boat, two Australian women I met last year in Bobcaygeon, whose picture graced the cover of our Sept. 5 issue. There was their electric scooter beside the boat. And there they were, walking down the drive on their way back from supper. Hugs all around, and they invited me in for coffee. What a delight to see them again—and to catch up, as they begin the second half of their two-year voyage down the length of the Trent-Severn. They told me a story about being rescued when their scooter tire went flat on route back from The Petroglyphs. A friendly passerby went home to get his trailer so he could transport them back to their boat. That’s what I love about these parts: the amazing, adventurous, caring, people you meet; and the land and water that brings them here.

We’re all one Kawarthas: Peterborough and CKL The prime question for all of our City of Kawartha Lakes residents is: How can and must we improve our economies and tourism now? I know our approach must go forward, but sometimes a look backwards gives insight as to how we got in this disastrous financial position in the first place. It is obvious to me that the word, “city,” clearly separated us from what we are: The Kawarthas—joined with our eastern partners and Peterborough neighbours—a tourist-business-rural region. This was retained in spite. Peterborough Council, represented by their lady mayor and council members, asked that, since we are both the Kawartha region, we join together and drop the emphasis on “city.” Our council refused. We must correct that now by whatever means possible, get the approval of our eastern partners, and jointly promote ourselves as one body—the Kawartha Region: West and East—thereby reducing our promotion costs measurably. The name in English means “Place of Shining Waters.” Follow this by reducing our council to eight members, plus the mayor, and dividing our council areas (ward boundaries) so that no vote of council can be controlled by its centre headquarters as it is today. Ensure that the north and south centres, i.e., the Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls and Omemee wards, will include sections of Lindsay. Let’s go, and watch us grow another tourist-country region in future—the next Muskokas.

All residents, if you agree, press your council to get this—and our futures—rolling. Let your views be known. I believe this amalgamation is the correct direction today, and will be a great success if managed properly.Bill ManionFenelon Falls

The Curve Lake school experience After the Truth and Reconciliation report came out recently on the residential schools, I met with Elder Murray Whetung of Curve Lake. Earlier he had told me his father had been sent to the Munci Residential School at Brantford and I wanted to know more about the school history at Curve Lake. Apparently Murrays’ father, Daniel Eli Whetung, was gifted at mathematics, and by Grade 3 knew more on this subject than the teacher at Munci. The Indian agent, Kennedy, who wore many hats including preacher, police officer and teacher, decided to bring Daniel Whetung back to his school at Curve Lake and have him teach there (no remuneration). Actually this Indian Agent had become interested in farming also, and had the boys do much of the farm work during their school day. Daniel Whetung became chief in 1913 and when the Indian Agent came in September to take the children to the Residential School he said: “NO.” He went to Peterborough and hired a teacher to come teach in Curve Lake Daniel Whetung served as Chief until 1943. He was an early activist in Indigenous rights, and was known to be a generous and hospitable man. Today Curve Lake School goes to Grade 3, and then the children are bused to the Lakefield School where native culture and language are taught. Elder Murray Whetung has been a guest at this school and has shared his wealth of knowledge with these children. This year the Heritage Exhibit at the Kinmount Fair Sept. 4-6 is featuring First Peoples (Anishnaabe). Do you want your story told too? Contact [email protected] ThurstonKinmount

Rock and Roll for the soul—what the doctor ordered For years now my husband and I have owned a local business here in Bobcaygeon, and like most others in the same boat, we rarely have time for a night on the town. When we saw the advertising on the highway that Elvis was coming to the Lions Hall we said: “We’re going”—in part because it was on a Thursday night so it didn’t interfere with our weekend retail business. As well, we found out that the show promoters were the same people who put the great Legends shows into the Fenelon Theatre a few years ago.

Well, Elvis (Tim ‘E’ Hendry) delivered a night to remember, and the sold out audience gave it right back with an endless standing ovation. The highlight of the evening, for us at least, was Tim singing How Great Thou Art as part of a special dedication to our friends, Audrey and Nancy Coumbs. Everyone was singing the chorus during this wonderful outpouring of love. For us, it was just what the doctor ordered and what our town needs more of. In fact, I heard that a Neil Diamond tribute could be next. Get the tickets ready Mr. promoter. We’ll be there.Cheryl and Danie Farrell (pawz`N`clawz)Bobcaygeon

Why I LOOOOVE Gamiing Nature Centre Do you like to feel healthy, happy, and smart? All it takes is some time at Gamiing Nature Centre. I think I’m still high on forest. Since the start of May, I have been going out to Gamiing weekly,


and let me tell you, I cannot get enough of this place. Every time I discover a new trail, a different feature, or learn some interesting fact about the land or the wildlife from the staff, I love it even more. Gamiing has all different types and intensity levels of trails that are very accessible; and endless things to discover. Plus, listening to Steve geek out on turtles and frogs is very educational (you can find him kicking around most days). It also hosts some wicked

events. Last Saturday I attended the Summer Lakeshore Festival with Birds of Prey by Matt the Birdman. It was awesome. Matt the Birdman had the birds perched in the field so we could get an up-close look before the show. And during the show, we got an even closer look as he flew them around our heads, landed them on our heads, and even let us pet them. Every person and child there had a chance to “fly” the falcon, including my two-and-a-half year old. Matt was very

knowledgeable and humorous, and really had all of our attention. Yes, even my two-and-a-half year old sat still and paid attention the whole time—that’s how good this guy was. It was an educational, interactive, and awe inspiring show. You don’t want to miss it the next time it is in town. Trails for your health, the discovery shack, events, other educational info on the trails for your brain, and forest vibes for your happiness. Gamiing improves your life. Guaranteed.Julia TaylorDunsford

Congratulations on another successful Bike Fest As we walked downtown the evening of the Bike Fest, we were again amazed to see our town so quickly returned to normal after a busy day. You would never have known that thousands of people were visiting our town earlier that day, enjoying our restaurants, eating on patios, perusing our shops and staying at our motels and lakeside resorts. The organizers and volunteers of this event need to be congratulated on their hard work in making it a success. We observed them working hard from early morning to late evening to set up, maintain a great atmosphere, and clean up the town afterwards. As active volunteers who appreciate and promote our lovely town, we welcome anyone who works hard to do so as well. Tourism is our main industry, so let’s encourage those who take pride in our town and work hard to bring tourists and great events here.Dan and Joyce JacksonBobcaygeon

City HallCitizens say: ‘Don’t sell the Beach Park trailer park’By Pat Warren Most of the 80 or so folks who showed up to voice their concerns about the future of the trailer park at Bobcaygeon Beach Park were adamant they don’t want the land to be sold. Craig Shanks, Director of Community Services, who ran an orderly and informative meeting, presented the options the city is considering. They are:• Continue as is• Keep the land but lease it for a trailer park• Get out of the business of running a trailer park

and keep the land as green space• Sever the land and sell the trailer park as a trailer

park• Sever the land and sell it with no conditions The trailer park makes about $15,000 a year on average, and staff also spend time maintaining other parks in Bobcaygeon, which helps the bottom line. However, insurance and administrative time are not factored into the equation. Jim Walker, representing the trailer owners, talked about the economic development the trailer park brings to the village in the summer, and how they would be willing to have the rates increased so the park would be more economically sustainable. Many others were concerned that the city might

sell the property, which is valued at more than $2 million. They were concerned about losing valuable “green space.” Christine Bailey, a local developer thinks the boat slips at the park should be open to everyone, not just the trailer-park renters. She feels that this would allow more revenue for the city. The youngest citizen speakers at the meeting, 12-year-old Pieter Junkin and his nine-year-old brother, Julian, who live beside the trailer park, want to keep it too. They travel through the park every day, and find it a safe route to ride their bikes. It’s a big part of their lives, they said. Following the meeting, Ward 13 Councillor Kathleen Seymour-Fagan said she would like the land to be “green space for everyone,” while Susan Paradoski, President of Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce thinks the trailers should remain, as they bring economic benefits to the local businesses.


A staff recommendation will go to council on July 7, so if you would like to have a say on the future of the trailer park, you can email Craig Shanks before then at [email protected].

Hauling rocks across municipal boundaries: We need to talkBy Glenna Burns On Tuesday June 16, Trent Lakes council gave the go-ahead to a quarry expansion on Bass Lane Road. The Silver Lake Quarry owned by Mervin Johnston had been looking to expand a few years ago, but met a number of obstacles which have now been resolved according to Trent Lakes Planning Technician Kari Stevenson. So council lifted the “hold” on the expansion. What has not been resolved is a haul-route agreement between the quarry operator whose trucks run on Road 49 and through City of Kawartha Lakes. According to CDR Young aggregates lawyer David S. White, in an April 28 letter to CKL, no municipality has a right to ask for haul route agreements from quarries that are not in their own municipality. CKL has also asked the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MNRF) to postpone any further consideration of an application by CDR Young Aggregates to expand their Bass Lane quarry by mining below the water table until the city can negotiate a haul route agreement with that company too. Thus far CKL has received no response from MNRF or Trent Lakes municipality on this request. White’s letter to CKL advises that “a municipality is specifically prohibited by section 394 (1)(e) of the Municipal Act from imposing a fee or charge that is based on, and is in respect of or is computed by reference to the transportation of natural resources.” Certainly it is within a municipality’s jurisdiction to impose load limits on its roads and bridges which may be one alternative to the growing problem of heavy truck traffic if the aggregate companies do not wish to work with the municipalities. Another solution might come about if the two neighbouring municipalities of Trent Lakes and CKL could meet and talk over the problems together.

Cathy Bell is new CKL OPP commander Acting Inspector Cathy Bell has been promoted to the rank of Inspector and will become the new Detachment Commander of City of Kawartha Lakes OPP. Involved in policing for more than 25 years, Inspector Bell has worked in a number of communities including Sault Ste.

for the City’s new Detachment Commander and we welcome Inspector Bell and her family to the Kawartha Lakes,” said Ward 5 Councillor and Community Policy Advisory Committee Chair Stephen Strangway, who took part in the selection process, along with CKL Mayor Andy Letham. “I would like to thank outgoing Detachment Commander Rob Shaw for his work here in Kawartha Lakes and for his contributions to helping keep our community safe. On behalf of Council, I wish him all the best in the future,” said Letham. “We very much appreciate being included,” said Letham. We “would like to thank the OPP and Regional Command Staff for the opportunity.”

‘Success,’ says CKL re Core Service Review town halls In the last six weeks, Kawartha Lakes Mayor Andy Letham has visited 10 communities during the city’s Core Service Review. He addressed 600 people, and says he heard lots of great ideas and feedback before the town hall meetings wrapped up in Fenelon Falls. “The response has been fantastic,” said Letham. “It has been a great opportunity to visit with residents and business owners all across Kawartha Lakes and talk with them and get their feedback on our Core Service Review. “Our residents know we cannot continue to keep going down the same path. They came to our

meetings with open minds and some great ideas.” Letham launched the meetings in Manvers on April 30 and made stops in Oakwood, Omemee, Bobcaygeon, Cambray, Lindsay, Coboconk, Woodville, Burnt River and Fenelon Falls. “People have a lot of the same concerns,” he said. “Costs are going up, infrastructure is deteriorating.” Residents and businesses understand the city needs to spend money, but they want it to do so wisely and transparently. In coming months, as part of the review, city staff will present reports on services and assets within the city. Any information brought to council, and any subsequent meetings, will be promoted on the city’s website under the Core Service Review section. “We still want to hear from residents,” said Letham. Watch a video on the city website about the Core Service Review, and email “constructive thoughts and ideas” to [email protected].

CHaMBER’S UNLOCK UNCERTaIN; JULY YaRD

SaLE, YOU BETBy Bob Hughes Saying “goodbye” or even “à bientôt” is never easy. Sometimes though, it’s necessary—which is the situation the Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce unhappily faces regarding Unlock the Summer. Other than three rainy washouts, Unlock has had a good run ever since someone got the idea of celebrating the reopening of the renovated swingbridge some years ago. That first event took just three weeks from start of planning to instant success. In a way, though, that strength may have become its weakness, because organizations come and go, volunteers burn out, and support funding dries up. That said, Unlock the Summer 2016 could still live. There are artists, artisans and musicians eager to participate and several chamber directors have offered their services. So, in a way, this is an appeal to community-minded people and businesses to volunteer or sponsor whatever interests them next year On a more positive note, the Great Second Annual Chamber of Commerce Cash-and-Carry, Bring-and-Buy Bonanza (aka, the Yard Sale) is ready to go—8 am to 1 pm on Saturday, July 25, at Canal Street East in front of the chamber office. Tables will be available for $10 each. By the way, while you’re at the sale, drop in to walk on the new flooring, which was paid for by last year’s sale proceeds and a Midnight Madness donation. P.S. to Municipality of Trent Lakes property owners. Many of you recently received a municipal/Canada Post letter advising that your 911 address will change, probably this month. This will require a replacement driver’s license and, only on the Internet, a change to your Ontario Health Card. Both will require a personal visit to a Service Ontario office, which also happens to be the chamber office. We’ve gratefully enjoyed your licensing patronage for many years and, with the dedicated help of summer office assistant Jordan Dickson, a fifth-year Durham College paralegal studies student

from Ennismore, we’re gearing up to efficiently serve these upcoming needs. Office hours are 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday, and 9 am to noon on Saturdays.

CHILDREN LEaRN aBOUT aLL THEIR RELaTIONS

Bobcaygeon’s Trinity United Church is offering a summer children’s program for ages 4-12, on July 6-10 from 9 am to noon. The theme is “All My Relations: All are one...in the Circle of Life.” There is no cost for this program, which is called VIBE. The United Church of Canada recently added the Mohawk language phrase, “Akwe Nia’Tetewá: neren,” which means All My Relations, to its crest to recognize the presence and role of First Nations people in the church’s history. The Mohawk were the first Indigenous people the church connected with. Register in the office at Trinity United Church, 44 William St. Bobcaygeon. If you are interested in helping run the program, contact Suzanne Smith-Merkley at 705-731-1058.

BOBCaYGEON LIONS HaLL TO GET aN ELEVaTOR

Bobcaygeon Lions Hall will be accessible to all by this fall. The club received a grant from the Trillium Corporation to have the elevator installed, and has arranged to have Carson Contracting do the work with a minimum of disruption. The regular Monday night bingos have not been cancelled. The main floor upgrades include a handicap washroom and making the front entrance accessible. These new changes will allow the community better access as they use the hall for family celebrations, craft shows and group dinners. On another note, after 27 years as a Bobcaygeon Lion—and often considered the face of the club in the community—Lion Wally McKinnon is moving at the end of June to Bowmanville. The club is going to miss Wally’s leadership and volunteerism. If you see Wally around town, be sure to thank him and wish him well in Bowmanville.


aNTIqUE SHOW aND SaLE IS ‘SOMETHING

THaT GLITTERS’ Zita Devan’s favourite part of the big annual Antique Show and Sale she convenes for A Place Called Home, is when the antique dealers roll in the day before the event, and start unpacking and setting up their wares. “They change a plain room into something that glitters,” she says, her face beaming as she recalls the excitement. “When I leave on Friday night—WOW.” It’s a bit of a homecoming for the Antique Show and Sale, in this, it’s 45th year. After four years at the Lindsay fairgrounds, the event will return to its long-time venue at the Victoria Park Armoury, right in downtown Lindsay, at 210 Kent St. West. The show runs on Saturday, July 11 (10 am to 5 pm) and Sunday, July 12 (10 am to 3 pm). Admission is only $4. The slightly smaller venue means Zita and her volunteer team can concentrate on bringing in only the highest quality dealers, who will have every kind of antique on display, from furniture to fine china, crystal, vintage dishes, toys and jewelry. “And lots of memorabilia,” she adds. There will be 31 dealers here this year—some new and some returning—from as far away as Windsor, Cornwall and Sudbury. One of the dealers, Lutie Anne Presley, has been coming to the show since the very beginning—and hasn’t missed a year. The show includes a lunch area which features a Victorian Tea. This is the real deal of a high tea, she says, with fancy

sandwiches (with the crusts cut off), and squares and “dainties” displayed on multi-level trays—and of course, only the best English teas. This is one of A Place Called Home’s major fundraisers for the year, says Zita. “We need to raise about $130,000 a year, over and above government funding. Events like this one, along with our faithful donors, help keep our doors open.”

APCH is a 19-bed emergency shelter—serving up to 300 men, women and families with children a year in Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton. The show has something for everyone, attracting antique seekers and lovers alike. It’s worth coming for the spectacle (and the tea)—and to learn more about APCH. It is a “show” (and sale), after all. We hope to see you there.

PROTECTING ONTaRIO’S BIGGEST RaIN BaRREL

—GUEST COLUMN—By Caroline Schultz and Rob Messervey The living, breathing Oak Ridges Moraine is the scenic backdrop to Canada’s most densely populated region. Its rolling sand and gravel hills act as the rain barrel for millions of Ontarians and provide habitat for increasingly rare wildlife. The moraine is the heart of the Greenbelt. It’s an essential water-recharge zone that directly supplies 250,000 Ontarians with clean drinking water, and feeds over 80 rivers and streams. It’s home to over 900 plant and animal species, and features rare and endangered habitats such as Northumberland County’s tall grass prairie and black oak savannah. Its forests – extensive by southern Ontario standards—produce clean air and mitigate climate change. Fortunately the moraine’s fine natural features are still intact thanks to 13 years of protection under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. Without it and its sister plans for the Greenbelt, Niagara Escarpment and Greater Golden Horseshoe, sprawling development would have gobbled up farmlands, damaged water resources, and carved up our natural heritage and green spaces. Ontario’s population has expanded dramatically, from 11.4 million in 2001 to 13.7 million in 2014. But those plans are now under the microscope.

The Ontario government’s Provincial Review is debating the future of the moraine’s half-million acres—a timely requirement of the original legislation. Over 13 years the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation invested over $14 million in land securement, stewardship and education, supporting the work of partners who themselves invested $22 million into conservation projects. To have a healthy future, we must look beyond keeping the moraine in its current state. We should help private landowners who care for close to 90 percent of the moraine and whose land provides ecological goods and services for so many. Protecting the moraine supports the province’s commitment to effective water management. The 2015 report card by the Conservation Authorities Moraine Coalition on the health of the moraine and adjacent Greenbelt lands, ranked surface-water quality as fair to poor in almost half the sub-watersheds, indicating ongoing effects of damaging land uses. One such problem is a legal loophole not addressed by the current plan that allows dumping of contaminated fill on the moraine, jeopardizing groundwater. A notable instance is the notorious 2010 Lake Ridge Road case in Durham Region. We need to safeguard the moraine as a distinct entity. A sustainable future for southern Ontario means an improved Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan that puts ecological restoration and enhancement at the forefront of future planning. We must grow the network of green spaces where nature thrives, water is protected and the public can explore all of the moraine’s special features. Kawartha Conservation’s Chief Administrative Officer, Rob Messervey, and Ontario Nature’s Executive Director, Caroline Schultz, are directors of the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation.

CHORISTERS CORNER

Concert raised $10,000 for Nepal

relief The choir was pleased to hear that the concert they recently took part in raised approximately $10,000, with the government match. This was to help the Nepal earthquake victims and hopefully it will be put to good use. June has been a busy month for the Choristers starting when

member Rev. Bob Bettson sang O Canada for the opening of the Unlock the Summer celebrations. The choir performed June 22 in the main entrance of Ross Memorial Hospital for some patients, nursing staff and volunteers. This is becoming an annual event. The following day we visited Case Manor where we treated residents to a small concert. A planned visit to the Pinecrest Nursing Home had to be cancelled due to health concerns at the nursing home. The choristers welcome a new member into the group. Susan Zilke Ward has joined the soprano

section. She lives in Dunsford, and we hope she will enjoy the singing and the camaraderie.

RING TO REMEMBER MISSING WOMEN

Parishioners of St. James Anglican Church rang their church bell a total of 1,182 times at noon over 10 days this month, to remember and honour the 1,181 missing and murdered Indigenous women and children documented to date. The 1,182nd ring was for those who are still going missing. Parishioners took turns ringing the bell, 118 times at noon over nine days, ending with 120 rings on the tenth day, Sunday, June 21, which was also National Aboriginal Day.

FROM ROSES TO RHUBaRB aT aNNUaL CaYGEON

GaRDEN TOURBy Linda Friend Our little village on the Trent-Severn must attract great gardeners. Selecting gardens for Bobcaygeon’s Annual Garden Tour, Tea and Market is difficult—not because there are too few lovely gardens, but rather because there are so many. This year’s Annual Garden Tour, sponsored by the Bobcaygeon Horticultural Society, is Saturday, July 11. Eight unique gardens will open for visitors from 10 am to 4 pm. Tickets, which include entrance to Kawartha Settlers’ Village, are $15; kids under 16 are free. This year, we have narrowed the list to eight gardens, one of which is Kawartha Settlers’ Village with its historic plantings, gazebo and replica water mill. The delights and challenges of waterfront gardening feature in four of the private gardens. Magnificent containers, beautifully pruned shrubbery and innovative plantings abound. From roses to rhubarb, we have it all. Each garden hosts a special feature:• A display of ornamental grasses will enlighten

you. • In another garden, artists of the Kawartha Potters’

Guild will demonstrate their craft. • An enthusiastic grower of culinary herbs will

inspire you to “perk up” your own recipes. • Do NOT miss the bonsai display featured in a

sweeping property on Sturgeon Lake. • Visit the “artists’ garden” and acquire a locally

made treasure.

• At Wilderness Park, see how beautiful a “pollinator” garden can be.

Feeling hungry? Need a break? Eleven local restaurants offer a discounted lunch to tour-pass holders. Or drop in to KSV for tea, treats and the music of the Bobcaygeon Choristers. Also at KSV, shop in our mini market—local products of special interest to gardeners—and have your tools sharpened by the Scissor Man. So, put on your comfy shoes. Bring a notebook and a camera. Admire, learn, and celebrate gardening in Bobcaygeon. Tickets are available at Bobcaygeon Chamber of Commerce and other venues throughout the area. On tour day, you can get tickets at each of the gardens, or at Kawartha Settlers’ Village. For details, www.bobcaygeonhorticulture.com

Painting the Canadian LandsCaPe

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) White carnations will bring you some well-needed love and peace during the coming days, Aquarius. We can’t promise you the moon, but we can say the stars are looking mighty friendly.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Ah, Canada Day. It’s time to throw on some red and white and celebrate, Pisces. Don’t forget to acknowledge the multiculturalism that makes Canada so strong—and the heritage of the First Nations.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Blame can get in the way sometimes, Aries. Do you find yourself sometimes blaming your negative feelings and misfortunes on someone else? Remember, while they have had some input, they are not the cause of all things wrong. YOU are in control. Never accuse others to excuse yourself.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) The grass is NOT greener on the other side, Taurus. It’s only an illusion. The sun is shining just as much on your lawn as your neighbour’s. Practice gratitude today and every day.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) As a Gemini, one of your character traits is that you don’t like holding grudges. This is good. Holding onto past hurts, we only hurt ourselves—as you have figured out. Keep movin’ on.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) According to Aboriginal teachings, the full moon on July 1 is known as the raspberry moon, and “by learning gentleness and kindness, we may pass through the thorns of the (raspberry) bush and harvest its fruits,

knowledge that will help in raising our families.” Well, Cancer, what better time to be gentle and kind—with a promise of wisdom, as well.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Don’t take life too seriously, dear Leo. Happenings come and go, people move through your life, jobs have a way of finding you, money slips in and out of your hands. Throughout all of this, your role is to simply find peace.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) If you could have any job in the world, what would it be, Virgo? Would it be for the money you’d be paid, for status, to allow you to pursue a passion, or just simple enjoyment? Something to think about.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) While you are usually well-balanced, dear Libra, there are times (and now may be one of them) when someone’s criticism has thrown you off. Try to analyze the reproach and find something beneficial in it. If there is none, then shrug it off as inconsequential.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) You don’t have to be walking in a garden to appreciate the beauty that is everywhere, Scorpio. Try to find something worthwhile everywhere you look.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) “The trail is the thing, not the end of the trail. Travel too fast, and you miss all you are traveling for”—Louis L’Amour. The journey is the “thing,” Sag, and you don’t want to miss it—‘cuz it’s gonna be a good one.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) It’s summer, and time for you to take time off, relax, rest, unwind, slow down, let go, loosen up. We hope you get the message.

BOBCaYGEON STORM ON THE HORIzON

“Community comes first, hockey comes second,” says Darryl Porter, general manager for the new Bobcaygeon Storm, which is set to begin playing in Bobcaygeon come September as part of the Jr. A Greater Metro Hockey League. “Without the community, there is no hockey,” he says. “For us to make this a success, we have to be a community-based team.” Porter understands why Bobcaygeon hockey fans might be hesitant about throwing their enthusiastic support behind another Jr. A club coming to their town. He’s heard the stories about how the Bucks arrived here with great fanfare, only to fade away after the 2013-14 season. So Porter is eager to show Bobcaygeon that he intends to make sure his team is involved in the community—and gives back to the community that he hopes will support it. Porter and his coach, Wayne Veges, are already recruiting players, and although they are prepared to go around the world to get the best,

they also want to make sure they have a base of local players. They’re also looking for a local coach with experience in the local minor-hockey system, to take up a position as assistant coach with the Storm. Veges lives in Echo Bay, just outside Bobcaygeon, and Porter, who grew up in Lakefield and now lives in Peterborough, has a number of years experience as a scout in the National Hockey League, with the Minnesota Wild and the Los Angeles Kings. “I went from the trenches to the ultimate,” he says. “So now it’s time to give back at the community level.” You can look for Porter at various events around the village this summer: the Farmers Market, Midnight Madness, the Fall Fair. And he’ll be joining the Chamber of Commerce, he adds. The players won’t arrive until September, says Porter. But once they are here, he wants to make sure they get involved in the community, as their playing schedule allows. He talks about having them help tutor younger school kids, accompany them trick-or-treating on Halloween. The Storm will play a 42-game season, with 21 of those home games. The first few will be road games, says Porter, because the ice won’t be ready in the Bobcaygeon-Verulam Community Centre until mid October, after the Fall Fair. He’s hoping to organize a community dance at the arena before the ice goes in. If that works out, he’ll seek a local service club to bartend, and have them keep the profits. The cover charge will be split 50-50 with local charities, and so will money taken in from draws and raffles—both at the dance and at the games. If you want to apply to be a player or assistant coach, or to billet a player, or otherwise connect, Porter hopes you will give him a call at: 705-772-1084.

LaWN BOWLING aCROSS THE aGES

“People think it’s only an old person’s game,” says Bobcaygeon Lawnbowling Club member Larry Brown. “We want to show them it’s not.” Brown and his fellow club members have been busy this month introducing 26 Grade 6 students and 44 Grade 5s from Bobcaygeon Public School to what we thought was the gentle summer game of lawn bowling. But judging by the students’ intense expressions, their enthusiastic delivery, the after-the-fact body English they apply to bend the balls to their wills, and the squeals of delight or cries of anguish at the results—there’s more to this lawn bowling than we had guessed. It’s clearly a sport that all ages can enjoy.

The 70 students came out one day a week for four weeks, ending with a bit of a tournament and party with Kawartha Dairy ice cream, and parents invited as well. If you’re interested in lawn bowling, members get together to bowl Mondays and Wednesdays at 7 pm and Thursdays and Sundays at 1:30. Participation is very flexible, and judging by these kids, it sure looks like fun. Call 705-652-5279.

Other entertainment included the Caygeon Country Cloggers, wagon rides, musicians, and rifle-firing demonstrations from the 12th York Battalion of Infantry. Special thank you to everyone who contributed to the quilt cake, created in honour of the 25th anniversary. As well, thank you to all the volunteers who helped make the 23rd Settlers’ Day a great success. Visit www.settlersvillage.org to keep informed about upcoming events.

COME TO THE CHURCH

IN THE WILDWOOD

By John Bird Providence United Church, at County Road 24 and Stinson’s Bay Road between Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls, is celebrating its 125th anniversary this summer with a special service on Sunday, July 12, at 10

am. Rev. Ed Bentley, who served from 1976 to 1983 at what was then the Trinity(Bobcaygeon)-Dunsford-Providence pastoral charge, will make a return visit as the guest speaker, and Susan Ryman Brown will offer her voice as guest soloist. Current minister, Rodney Smith-Merkley will lead the service. Organizers are setting up a tent behind the church to handle what is expected to be an overflow crowd, and there will be an audio (and hopefully video) feed of the service. And of course, a lunch and cake will follow the service. The dearly beloved “little brown church in the vale” is part of the Trinity-Providence pastoral charge, and committed congregants have been able to keep the tiny Providence church operating during summer months for a number of years now. All of Providence’s summer services—every Sunday at 10 am till mid-September—kick off with rousing rendition of the old hymn, Come to the Church in the Wildwood, whose chorus ends with the lines: “No place is as dear to my childhood/As the little brown church in the vale.” There is almost always a special musical guest as well. My wife, Lorraine Land, occasionally filled in as pianist, and we once did a turn together as guest musicians on ukulele and melodica—occasions I still remember fondly for the congregation’s “hwyl” (meaning spirit, and pronounced like oil with an h in front of it), as my Welsh mother says. The congregation has already marked the anniversary with a History Night last month, when Gail Johnson and Mike Chell offered a run-down of the settlers and families who built the church, many of whose descendants still live in the area. “There will be many friendships to make and renew,” says Marion MacKenzie, who has a lead role in organizing the anniversary.

CELEBRaTE DIVERSITY WITH PRIDE PICNIC

Inspired by pride events in Muskoka and Peterborough, a group of City of Kawartha Lakes folks are busy organizing CKL’s inaugural “Pride Picnic” in Victoria Park, downtown Lindsay, on July 11. Beginning at 11 am, the picnic will celebrate local LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans and Queer) communities and their allies and supporters. So if you feel like you are one of those—including allies, supporters or family—or just want to get to know a bit more about the diversity of your community, the Pride Picnic is a fun place to be. This family picnic will be offering: free burgers and sweets, music, lawn games like bocce ball, croquet, ladder ball, a parachute, etc., three-legged races and sack race, a raffle with donated items from around Kawartha Lakes, a water station (donated by Water Depot) and free water bottles. Organizers are encouraging people to “bring any other food they would like to go along with our burgers, as well as blankets or chairs.” Committee members Matthew Maddox and Carrie Pearson collected donations and support from businesses in Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Kinmount, Norland, Coboconk, Omemee and Lindsay. As the event grows over the years, they are hoping to bring it “to different communities in the Kawartha Lakes to highlight all of the awesome villages we have.”

CHaRITY GOLF TOURNEYS FOR ROSS HOSPITaL

Therese Scheer and her friends are passionate about their golf—and their good cause. And they’re all passionate about using golf to support Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH). Eight years ago, Therese spearheaded a plan to organize several charity-golf “friend-raising” days throughout the City of Kawartha Lakes. She was thrilled to discover how many local golf courses were keen to get involved. Since 2007, these golf tournaments have raised $72,071 for the breast-health program at

Ross. Her goal is to raise $100,000 in ten years. Therese is grateful for her many helpers; personal friends, new acquaintances, local merchants and area golf courses have been invaluable in raising these funds in support of local breast health care. This year, she is planning seven tournaments. One is already over, six are left: • July 14: Deer Run Golf Course• Aug. 4: Byrnell Golf Club• Aug. 12: Western Trent Golf Club • Aug. 28: Deer Run Golf Course• Sept. 8: Crestwood Golf Club • Sept. 16: Eganridge Golf & Country Club If you would like to get involved in these friend-raising golf events, please contact Therese Scheer at 705-793-3574.

—Minaajim—Good Stories from Curve Lake

First NationHow Nogie’s Creek got its Name

As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka This is a story about Peter Nogee, who was the head of his family and a chief of this area from 1830-1848. He was a Hereditary Chief, which is different from an elected Chief. Prior to the Indian Act of 1872,

First Nations peoples operated in their own systems of governance, which were intact, functional and had served effectively for thousands of years. It is believed that Chief Nogee was either a signatory of the 1818 pre-Confederation Treaty for this area, or was involved in the process but refused to sign. There are challenges as to how to connect traditional names on the treaty to the translated English names on the document. Nogee comes from the Anishinaabe (Ojibwa) word “naagan” which means “dish” and has been spelled many different ways. The last name, Naagan, actually existed for a time but died off with Jim Naagan, who never married. Other variations include Nogan. There was a family at Hiawatha First Nation by that name. In any case, Peter Nogee’s descendants are still around today. Nor was Peter this man’s first given name. Peter was given to him by the Indian Agent of the time. These agents gave all First Nations peoples “Christian” names. We believe Peter’s original name was “Chi Sokpo,” which loosely translates as “Snowstorm.” Interestingly, this name is not recorded as a signatory of the 1818 Treaty. What is also interesting is that Nogee was used as Peter’s last name. The thinking is that the name (from naagan or dish) is related to his position as a hereditary chief and an earlier traditional agreement (or wampum) made between the Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and known as “The Dish with One Spoon.” Peter Nogee lived off the land with his family along the Trent-Severn waterway. He had one camp in the Lakefield area, and befriended the famed Strickland sisters (Catharine Parr Trail and Susanna Moodie) who wrote about him and his family, and their lifeways. Peter Nogee was the chief of this area until he was accused by the government Indian Agent of embezzling band funds from the Indian village. Officially banished from the village reserve around 1848, Nogee moved to a cabin on the creek at the north end of Pigeon Lake that is now known as Nogie’s Creek. This story can also be linked to what is known as Nogie’s Island in Buckhorn Lake. Nogee would have camped on the island during the summer months and then moved inland to the creek in the winter. He lived there until his death. Peter Nogee was the last Hereditary Chief of this area known by several names over time: first as Mud Lake Indian Agency, then the Chemong Lake Indian Village, and later, after being designated a reserve, Curve Lake First Nation. But that is another story.Note – Our first story, Old Will and his wives, inadvertently mixed up “Christian” names. The person referred to as Will Taylor was actually named George Taylor.


Ten years have passed on bySince you were called “above”The tears inside keep flowing

You were so “special love”We were married on my birthday

Fifty-nine years ago this MayI am now Eighty-three years old

And miss you more each dayMy life with you was “Special Bev”

For all those many yearsWe worked together you and I

And you were so “sincere”A “precious” one from me has gone

A voice “I loved” is stilledA place is vacant in my heartWhich “never” can be filledLife for me is not the same

The way it used to beIt’s so lonely here without youYou were “all the world” to me

When “our parents” needed careYou “dear Bev” were always there

You will always be “My special angel”And “our parents” too

God bless you “sweetheart” Love always and forever

Your loving husband

THIS KaWaRTHa LIFE: aN OCCaSIONaL SERIES

Cattle Stampede on Bolton Street By Glenna Burns Every community has stories to tell. I heard a few good ones at a small meeting about mapping our culture on the web at Settlers’ Village the other day. Many of us in the meeting room at Henderson House remembered the two days each year, in the spring and fall, when cattle “stampeded” down Bobcaygeon’s main street (Bolton). The wooden sidewalks and cattle hooves created a deafening sound as dozens of unruly beasts made their confused way to the swing bridge and beyond. Even though I was only three years old, I can still recall this thrilling event. In fact I think it is one of my earliest memories. At the meeting I learned from those older and far wiser, that the cattle were being herded from a Thurston farm in Dunsford to summer grazing at Tye’s Mountain near Nogies Creek. Many farmers in the first half of the twentieth century had ‘summer ranches’ where cattle were pastured for the warm weather season. Can you imagine the scene? Tourists used to come to Bobcaygeon from Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey or even further to fish and relax in the many local resorts. Guides like the Nichols brothers and cousins took them on day excursions in their beautiful guide boats. Cocktails were served on resort lawns like the Whyte House or Locust Lodge at five pm. Into this mix we have the local farmers running their cows! Guaranteed there would have been some mishaps! Al Ingram, laughed when we told this story. He said that watching people and how they behaved in those resorts was where many of the locals learned about the more sophisticated, outside world. As a small child watching events unfold from the front door of my friend Ross Forbert’s gift shop, it was an unbelievable and frightening sight. The tourists must have imagined that they had dropped unintentionally into Pamplona Spain where “Running the Bulls” is a seasonal thrill. The stories we were telling were to help two CKL employees, Debra Soule and Morgan Bell, create a community online map. As Ms. Soule described it, “We’re looking for the ‘intangible’ culture and natural heritage. Focusing on folklore, traditions, beliefs…the DNA of cultural experience.” The cultural map will then be used for tourism and destination planning, future niche businesses and as content for creative products and activities. Meetings like the one held in Bobcaygeon were also held in Fenelon Falls, Bethany, Manvers, Pontypool, Lindsay, Carden, Dalrymple, Sebright, Kinmount, Burnt River, Coboconk and Kirkfield. More information is available by calling 705 324-9411, extension 1497.


SHaVE a HEaDTO SaVE THE CHILDREN

Wanna see a grown woman get her head shaved? If you do, just come to the Cosmopolitan Salon and Spa at the front of the Bobcaygeon Inn at 3 pm on Saturday, June 27. That’s when master stylist Amber Purdy will be shaving her aunt Angela Miller’s head. Now that’s what we call entertainment. But more importantly, the head shaving—and all the hair cuts that Amber and her partner in crime, Billy Henderson, do that day—will be to raise money for the Save The Children fund.

So even if a head shaving is not your cup of tea, you can get a haircut and the money you pay will go to benefit the charity. But you’ll need to make an appointment by calling: 705-738-4488. Aunt Angela, who lives in Barrie, will be here expressly for the head shaving. She’s done it before, says Amber—and always to Save the Children.

EXTRACTING MEANING FROM THE CLATTER

Whether at a noisy restaurant or party, we all have some degree of difficulty carrying on a conversation and hearing what people have to say to us. As it turns out, the ability to determine the location of a sound in a noisy setting is one that men seem to be better at than women. So say researchers who recently tested men’s and women’s audio-spatial abilities by having them listen to sounds and determine their source. The ability to do so is known as the “cocktail party phenomenon,” and men proved to be better at locating sounds than women, especially when several sounds were presented simultaneously. Scientists think that men’s ability to locate sounds may be a product of evolution. To schedule a hearing consultation, please call us. Due to continuing research and advancements in audiology, new techniques and technologies are developing rapidly. We pride ourselves by keeping up to date with these advancements.

DRaWING LIFE’S BREaTH: aRT PROGRaM FOR

TOBaCCO-WISE YOUTH What are you passionate about that you need your lungs for? Leaders posed this question to a group of Peterborough County youth who participated in the Love My Life (LML) Tobacco Free workshops that ran for six weeks at the Art School of Peterborough. Local youth explored tobacco prevention

through positive self-expression, and over six weeks they developed a 3-D visual diary representing mind, body, spirit. “It certainly was an incredible experience watching as these 3-D visual diaries grew, and how the students positively expressed themselves as they explored the notion of life’s breath,” says Jenni Johnston, owner of the Art School of Peterborough. “Rather than focusing on the negatives of tobacco use they were able to create something beautiful by discovering the positive of living their lives tobacco free.” The students met at the Art School for two-hour sessions and discussed topics such as how the media portrays tobacco, the importance of finding balance in life, addiction and its effect on the teenage brain, and the harms of commercial tobacco. Six peer leaders with the Peterborough County-City Health Unit created, organized and led the curriculum. After peer-to-peer lessons, the students worked on their sculpture, facilitated by two staff at the school. The figures were to represent mind, body and spirit. The mind represents mental health, body embodies physical health and spirit symbolizes core values and beliefs. During the first two weeks the students developed a mask. On the third week they developed a personal tattoo based on symbols that reflected themselves. Finally, during weeks four to six they created the body, including the lungs where students explored “Life’s Breath.” The Eastern Ontario Health Unit developed the original Love My Life program in 2014. This year, PCCHU ran its first LML campaign. For more information on the Love My Life Tobacco Free program, visit http://www.lmlontario.com/.

FENELON BUSINESS, OMEMEE LEGION aMONG aCCESSIBILITY WINNERS

The Bargain Shop in Fenelon Falls won the Outstanding Contribution by a Business award at the 2015 Accessibility Awareness Recognition Awards, June 16.


The Omemee Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion won for Outstanding Design Kawartha Lakes Council and the Accessibility Advisory Committee presented these 2015 awards to five outstanding individuals, businesses and organizations. The annual event is an opportunity to recognize the selfless work and tireless dedication that promote and improve accessibility for all residents in Kawartha Lakes. Other winners were the Alzheimer Society of Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland and Haliburton, along with the Four Counties Brain Injury Association, who each received the Outstanding Contribution by a Community Group award. Janine Mitchell, CKL’s Manager of Social Services, was recognized for her Outstanding Contribution as a City employee. “The Accessibility Awareness Recognition Awards Program provides a wonderful opportunity for us as a council to acknowledge the tremendous work our residents, staff, businesses and organizations do here in Kawartha Lakes,” said CKL’s Ward 5 Councillor Stephen Strangway. “On behalf of all of council, I would like to congratulate each of this year’s award recipients and to thank them for their continued efforts and hard work in the area of educating and promoting accessibility here in Kawartha Lakes,” added Mayor Andy Letham. Residents are encouraged to submit nominations in a variety of categories each year to be considered for the Accessibility Awareness Recognition Awards. “There are so many staff, businesses, organizations and community members who work hard to promote accessibility in Kawartha Lakes,” said Barb Condie, Accessibility Coordinator at the City. “We thank everyone and appreciate the

ongoing efforts of our entire community in helping to remove barriers to accessibility across the City.”

REMEMBER FOOD NEEDS IN SUMMER

Did you know that donations to food banks dip to their lowest in the summertime? Meanwhile, the need is often higher at this time of year, as working parents face increased costs to pay for child care or camp. Many parents also lose a meal a day for their children when school-run breakfast programs cease functioning with the end of the school year. Food Banks Canada estimates that 26.5 million meals will be needed this summer across Canada. No matter where a child, parent or any individual lives in Canada, they should have access to safe and essential food this summer.

WOMEN’S INSTITUTE SUPPORTS ROSS HOSPITaL

The Victoria West District Women’s Institute’s recent donation of $500 to the Ross Memorial Foundation to help buy a new portable ultrasound for the hospital’s Emergency Department, brings the

group’s total giving’s to the foundation to $5,150. That earns the group a “Supporter” plaque on the hospital’s Donor Recognition Wall. “The energy these women put into their communities is admirable,” said RMH Foundation Executive Director Erin Coons. “Every time they come together, good things happen around them. And the impact they’ve had on patients at the Ross is visible throughout the hospital. “In the Diagnostic Imaging Department, the OR, the Lab, the Dialysis Unit and in Recreation Therapy—wherever there’s a need, the Victoria West District Women’s Institute is there to help.” The Victoria West District Women’s Institute is comprised of the Cambray, North Emily and Lorneville/Argyle branches of the WI. There are 45 members in total. They host community dinners and craft sales—and they look for ways to help people in their neighbourhoods.

ArthritisBy Peter Weygang

When I was young, and saw old menCreeping their crusty way across the lawn.I thought that age had slowed them down,

As smiles become a stifled yawn.

I thought those ancient, arching backs, once supple and so fit,Were, to my unthinking mind, just slowing down a bit.

But light-foot lads will run no more, Nor ride from point to point.Arthritic pain in every jointHas evened out the score.

This is not an atrophy, nor just a muscle strain.This is the daily agony, this is the nightly pain.

It bites the hips, it stabs the knees.It turns our limbs to dead-wood trees.

It holds us close, day in, day out.It bites our lip when we would shout.

Deep slumber is no more our right.Arthritis knows no day, no night.

No more those pleasant drifting dreams.Just gritted teeth, and silent screams.

The tragedy of life is this:With such spring-board hopes we’re born

Yet sadly end our well-worn days.Creeping across the lawn.
