FROM MY PERCH When you read my next column, our country will be in a brand new political situation. It’s very likely we’ll have a new minority government, but

whether New Democrat, Liberal or Conservative is still anyone’s guess as we head for the Oct. 19 climax. It’s also possible we’ll be deadlocked, with the NDP, Greens and Liberals scrambling to put together a coalition government. It’s not unprecedented. We had a coalition government in Canada once before—during WW I. It worked. We’re very polarized in this country right now, with Harper’s Conservative Party taking us further into small-c territory than the “Progressive Conservatives” ever did. On the other pole, Liberals, NDPs and Greens seem closer than ever before in their opposition to Harper—making a coalition seem possible. Voters,too,arefindingthemselvesin a similar situation. Harper has his rock-solid supporters of course. But many Green, Liberal and NDP supporters are agonizing over whether

to support their traditional party, or the candidate they feel has the most chance of defeating the Conservative. I think we’ve served our readers in the Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock riding fairly well in this election, giving them 11 chances in as many issues, to hear their candidates thoughtful responses to specific questions. Iregret that we have not done as well by our Trent Lakes readers, as we only belatedly realized redistribution has taken you to another riding: Peterborough-Kawartha. We are under no illusions, however, that any of you, in as important a national election as this one, are relying on the little Kawartha Promoter for all your voting info. My only wish is that you DO VOTE. Your vote has likely never counted for as much as it does in this dead-heat election. And don’t let your decision be ruled by fear of the other. There are no others; we are all one family. If we’ve learned anything from our community life in the Kawartha Lakes, it should be that we are all sisters and brothers, and we make a better world when we have our common welfare at heart.

Tempus fugit for Boyd Island As chair of the Boyd Island Project Committee (BIPC) I take this opportunity to update you on the status of our project. The BIPC is a committee of volunteers working with Kawartha Land Trust (KLT) to accept a donation of Boyd Island for long-term stewardship. Boyd Island is a 1,170-acre property in the middle of Pigeon Lake, presently owned by Mike Wilson. It has been the subject of several development proposals over the years, but remains undeveloped. Mr. Wilson has generously agreed to donate the property to KLT, reserving two lots for himself, provided the deal closes this year. KLT’s Board of Directors has determined that KLT needs to raise a capital fund of $1 million by Nov. 30 in order to close the deal and provide long-term funding of $35,000 per annum for taxes, insurance and land administration. KLT intends to preserve the property in its natural state, and hold the property in trust according to its long-term stewardship principles, thus contributing to the ecological health of the lands and water, and maintaining its natural and archaeological heritage. The property will continue to be available for public use, treading lightly, without development. Many generations have enjoyed visiting the property over the years, and KLT will develop a full stewardship plan in consultation with the local community after closing. The BIPC has been actively fundraising since the kick-off open house in Bobcaygeon on Aug. 29. We have advertised in the media, consulted with local government, and spoken to countless individuals, groups and associations. Last weekend we marched in the Bobcaygeon Fall Fair Parade, and sponsored a

booth at the exhibit hall for two days. We are gratified at the tremendous supportwe have received to date. We have several lead donors, including Mr. Wilson at $100,000, the Municipality of Trent Lakes at $75,000, and the BIPC members at $50,000. Our total is approaching $600,000, and the momentum is building. We are sincerely thankful for all contributions to date, and for the effort of all involved. Time marches on. We still have $400,000 to go. We urge anyone who has thought about donating to do so before time runs out. It would be a great disappointment to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Preserve Boyd Island. Now’s the time.Chris AppletonFenelon Falls

Come on community groups The board of the North Pigeon Lake Ratepayers Association (NPLRA) has sponsored an acre in the Save Boyd Island campaign—with our own personal money. We challenge all community organizations to match us. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that has come to Kawartha Land Trust (KLT) to protect the 1,200 acres of Boyd Island (aka Big Island) from development forever. Kawartha Land Trust is half way to the $1 million that it needs to raise by Nov. 30 (see Trent Lakes pledges $75,000 to island campaign, Oct. 2, page 8). North Pigeon Lake Ratepayers Association is supporting KLT 100 percent. We are proud to be working with numerous volunteers to passionately raise money for KLT to secure the island for the public to enjoy for generations to come. Together we can accomplish this. Join us by sponsoring your own acre.Janet Klein, President NPLRABobcaygeon

Boyd Island: Dare to Care It is not every day that community members are given the ability to determine exactly what will happen to a beautiful island of over 1,200 acres right in their backyard. If we are courageous and generous enough in the next few weeks, Boyd Island will remain an incredible natural habitat vital to the ecology of our

The efforts of many groups such as the North Pigeon Lake Ratepayers Association have set the bar high, and they are to be commended for their outreach to many community associations in our area. I am also proud of the many residents of Port 32 who have responded to a door-to-door campaign and sent in pledges and donations to the Kawartha Land Trust.

The crown jewel in the economic action plan Canada’s oil-and-gas-production industry started in the 1800s. In recent decades, our energy policy has been highly focused on the oil sands. These sands produce bitumen or tar, a substance better suited to paving roads. It takes gobs of energy, water, and imported diluting agents to extract it, and to make it suitable to flowthroughapipe.Ittakesanabundanceoftaxpayermoney (e.g., subsidies, grants and tax exemptions). It is the world’s most expensive form of oil. But what do we have from this industry today? Basically nothing. Even Alberta’s Heritage fund standing at $17.7 billion is consumed by debt and deficit. Meanwhile, our national debtapproaches $1 trillion. Not measured in this statistic is the cost of polluting the atmosphere, which the insurance industry measures in trillions of dollars. In the 1970s, Norway became an oil-and-gas-producing country. Within eight years, Norway created excellent social services for its entire population. Plus, Norway’s Sovereign Wealth Fund recently surpassed $1 Trillion (U.S.), and growing. What does Norway do that we don’t?

Yes, tradeagreementscanbebeneficial. But these agreements are negotiated by the political elite (your government) partnered with the global corporate elite. Negotiations are held in secret, leaving populations beholden to their works, normally with little public discussion or opportunity for citizen input. During the 1993 election, the Liberals did oppose NAFTA, but quickly endorsed it once inpower. Just how beholden citizens have become is alarming. Investor-to-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) clauses allow foreign investors to bypass domestic courts and sue the host country before a panel of

Signs of our times? The Kawartha Carving Competition, run by senior citizen volunteers, has been around for 38 years, the last eight in Bobcaygeon. Our entrants (tourists) come from North Bay, Picton, London, Kitchener and all points in between. Signs are up the day before and taken down

the day of the competition, as our entrants need directions to the Curling Club. On Saturday, Sept. 12, the signs were gone at pick-up time. Monday, we determined a bylaw crew had done a “sweep” on a rainy Saturday (admirable dedication), and the signs were already in the garbage. The last sign picked up was within a block of us, and it would seem reasonable to inform us we needed a permit (we didn’t know this), and that the signswouldbeconfiscatedifnotremoved. Susan Murchison (chief building official)informed me that a free Special Event Permit allows signs two weeks prior to, and 48 hours after, the event. If not removed, we would be contacted, and if still not removed, then the signs would be confiscated(areasonableapproach). Initially funded by the Heritage Fund, the carving competition now has great support from local businesses. But we would like our signs replaced, as we do not have the funds to do that ourselves. Letters outlining the problem were sent to Mayor Andy Letham and councillors Brian Junkin (Ward 7) and Kathleen Seymour-Fagan (Ward 13), who was the only one to bother replying. To date, there has been no resolution. A sign of our times.Dwayne McMurterBobcaygeon

Big jump in Kawartha Lakes OPP costs By Pat Warren The City of Kawartha Lakes is looking at a big jump in the cost for Ontario Provincial Police services in its rural areas for 2016, after Ontario changed the method of billing municipalities for policing. The increase will only affect taxpayers outside the Lindsay and Ops areas, which are covered by the city’s own police force. According to preliminary estimates, the cost for 2016 will jump from around $75 to $94 for every $100,000 of assessed value in residential homes. Additional increases will be phased in over five years, at apossible rate of $40 per year. All property types, including residential, commercial, industrial, farm, managed forest, pipelines and multi-residential, will share in the cost of the service. Because OPP billing is also affected by the number of calls, the fee hike could increase or decrease depending on call volume. The city has had relatively low costs for OPP policing over the years while other jurisdictions were paying more per household, so the province revised billing to put everyone on an equal playing field. Thenew OPP funding model will be revenue neutral for the province overall. In 2000, the province downloaded the cost of policing to municipalities. Prior to that the province paid for policing in many rural jurisdictions The municipal service that polices Lindsay Ops has historically been more expensive in comparison to the OPP service. In fact, 2015 policing costs in the city (per $100,000 of residential assessment) break down to $284 for Lindsay, $179 for Ops, and $75 for the OPP in the rest of the city.

CKL’s tax pressure set to explode Facing budget estimates that show a 12.59 percent tax pressure for 2016, Kawartha Lakes council will hold a special meeting Oct. 22 to go over next year’s proposed operating and capital budgets. “We can’t continue to pay for all of the assets we have,” says Mayor Andy Letham. “We have used reserves to offset large tax increases in the past and those reserves no longer exist. We have reached a point where we either need to reduce

the number of assets we have or increase taxes or debt to pay for them all.” That’s why, last spring, Letham initiated the largest ever review of all city operations, services and service levels—the Core Service Review. On Oct. 6, council got a stark reminder of the challenges ahead, as CAO Ron Taylor delivered a brief but sobering overview of the city’sfiscal realitiesheading into2016. “We have been hearing for months now about many of

the budget pressures leading to a more than $10 million anticipated shortfall for 2016,” said Taylor. “As budget deliberations edge closer many of those pressures are becoming much more apparent.” “On the positive side,” he added, “all staff have worked diligently to bring forward recommendations that maintain previous-year operating expenditures.” Here’s Taylor’s breakdown of currently projected tax pressures for 2016:•7.57percentforcapitalprojects,duetothenumber

of city assets and the overall aging infrastructure•3.08 percent from increasedOntario Provincial

Beautiful BuckhornBy Glenna Burns The branding slogan “Beautiful Buckhorn” could become the focus for renewing the hamlet andturningitintoasignificanttouristdestination. The village will be in for rebranding and renewal if Trent lakes and Selwyn municipalities agree to go ahead with some of the proposals presented by JimDyment,apartnerwith thefirmMHBCurbandesign and architecture. In an Oct. 6 presentation to TL council, Dyment, who has worked in over 50 communities in Ontario, offered an overview of suggested priorities to create a more welcoming and improved Buckhorn infrastructure. He focused on improving parking, sidewalks and walking trails, signage, landscaping, commercial beautification. After visiting the community and meeting with residents, Dyment said he’d “never seen a community with a level of volunteers that is so high.” He envisions Buckhorn as a destination people will want to visit just to see how beautiful it is. The main issue for council is to now decide what the priorities are for Buckhorn and how much they want to spend. Councillor Dick Perssons said “We’ve been working on this for many years. Glad to see it coming together.” The Economic Development Committee will continue to explore Dyment’s proposals on Oct. 20.

CKL RoundupBy Pat WarrenWIND OPPOSITION BRINGS COURT ACTION: Council is challenging a “bad faith” ruling that ordered it to pay $55,000 to “wpd,” a wind-power development company. In August, council passed an “unwilling host” bylaw to stop access to Wild Turkey Road, and hence wpd’s proposed wind turbine development, which was challenged by wpd, the wind turbine companyinquestion. Wpd challenged the bylaw and the courts ruled the city had acted in “bad faith,” and ordered it to pay $55,000 to wpd. Council, which strongly opposes wind turbines in the Oak Ridges Moraine, voted to challenge the court decision and took $150,000 from reserves to appeal the ruling. They cited protection of the environment and residents’ concerns as reasons for opposing the development.CKL LIBRARIES RULE: CKL’s 17 library branches support the public good, Jamie Morris, chair of the Kawartha Lakes library board, and David Harvie,

Trent Lakes RoundupBy Glenna BurnsNAY TO QUARRY EXPANSION: Trent Lakes Council voted to “not support” a proposed expansion and increased hours for Harvey Ridge Quarry near Bass Lake, and will forward their decision to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MNRF), who will makethefinaldecisionasthequarryisonCrownLand. Mayor Bev Matthews said “residents in the area are already complaining about the noise” from area quarries.WAIT ON DEWDNEY HAUL ROUTE: Council voted 4-1 to receive a proposal by Paul Ritchie of Dewdney Mountain Farms to the Ledge Road

haul route, but to wait for the results of an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing before considering it further. Councillor Terry Lambshead said an OMB hearing will reconvene in Toronto in November on this mega-quarry development and suggestedcouncil should wait until after that event to pursue this issue.INTEGRATED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT: It is important to have integrated water management across the very complex Trent River watershed, Ted Spence told Trent Lakes municipal council Sept. 15. Not only does the Trent Severn Waterway depend on constant water levels to function, but so do all the upper lakes and reservoirs in the system. Spence,whochairstheCoalitionforEquitableWater Flow (CEWF), told council the broad approach and scientific expertise the TSW can provide isneeded now more than ever. He said it would be foolish to restructure the system now, as there has been some movement to localize its management.NOGIES CREEK WATERWAY: Rob Messervey from Kawartha Conservation updated council on the progress of the Nogies Creek Waterway, which will include canoe routes, interpretive sites, fishsanctuaries and studies by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests, Fleming College and Trent University. The waterway could also incorporate Boyd Island, when the property goes to a land trust, and the James McLean Oliver Ecological Centre on Mill Line Road. HAVE YOUR SAY ON WETLANDS: Trent Lakes has an abundance of wetlands that need protection, Marie Windover told council, adding there is an important provincial discussion paper on wetland conservation that needs public comment by the end of October (see it here: http://apps.mnr.gov.on.ca/public/files/er/wetlandsdiscussionpaper_en.pdf). Nearly 70 percent of pre-settlement wetlands in Southern Ontario have already been lost to other uses. Yet most of the wetlands in the Nogies Creek and Bass Lake regions remain undocumented. Wetlands are among the most productive and diverse ecosystems. They provide: wildlife habitat,waterfiltering,erosionreduction,shoreline


stabilization, groundwater recharge, carbon dioxide absorption, recreation and food sources. With more severe weather of global climate change,wetlands are key in lessening floods andproperty loss.

The Maitland’s made their 2003 donation to honour the memory of two long-time Mill Line Road residents, Maggie and Tom Richie. The property—on County Road 36—was once a portion of the Richie farm.CKL SAYS NO TO BOYD ISLAND: N o n - a c t i o n spoke louder than words as Kawartha Lakes Council voted Oct. 13 to simply “receive” a letter from Trent Lakes Mayor Bev Matthews asking the city to “match or surpass” her municipality’s $75,000 pledge to support Kawartha LandTrust’s (KLT) acquisition ofBoyd Island. In other words, the financially strappedcity chose not to donate to the Save Boyd Island campaign. Ward 6 Councillor Brian Junkin, who brought

Mayor Matthew’s letter forward for discussion, said Bobcaygeon has always considered the 1,170-acre island in Pigeon Lake to be part of the community, even though it lies in the political domain of Trent Lakes municipality. He asked councillors and staff to consider supporting the campaign as individuals, since the city felt it was unable to do so. Boyd Island owner Mike Wilson has agreed to donate the property to KLT, reserving two lots for himself, provided the deal closes this year. The land trust says it needs to raise a capital fund of $1 million by Nov. 30 in order to close the deal. That would provide long-term funding of $35,000 per annum for taxes, insurance and land administration.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Nothing can dim the light that shines within you, Aquarius. Tell yourself this loudly and often. You are a beacon for all others.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Some exciting news is coming your way, dear Pisces, possibly via snail mail. Keep your eyes and ears open, and don’t forget to check your mailbox.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Be prepared for a joyful escapade. Whatever you do, don’t turn your back on invitations to explore something new. So much awaits you, Aries.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Money is always a concern, we know. It is for most of us. Plan, budget, plan, budget and try your best to save. It’s hard, but we feel the time is right for you to meet this challenge head-on.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) There is NO excuse for abuse. Ever. If you find yourself in a situation, or you see someone else in a situation you think may be abusive, do something. Bystanders can and do have lots of power.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) We can’t promise you a whirlwind romance in the next few weeks, Cancer, but we can tell you that you are well-loved by everyone who knows you—and that’s worth everything and more.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Your sensitive nature is well-known to your co-workers, family and friends. They depend on you for your compassionate responses to what are at times trying ordeals. Hold onto your thoughtful and sympathetic ideals.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Lies, lies, lies. Sometimes it seems we are surrounded by them, Virgo, and you may have been dealing with some fabrications lately. Handle with cool composure. Don’t get dragged into the fray. And, of course, always tell the truth.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Sis, boom, bah. Get ready for some action in the “love” department, Libra, because it’s

headed your way. Enjoy it while you can, we say.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) With October nearing an end, it’s time to settle down and prepare for the long winter ahead. But, hey, it’s not all bad. You can plan now for that perfect winter get-away, either in the snow or the warm climes. Do it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) What kind of lasting impression will you leave on this world, Sag? For what do you wish to be remembered? Don’t wait until the end. Search now

for the answers, and act accordingly. Live your life now for the legacy you wish to leave behind.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) “Life stands before me like an eternal spring with new and brilliant clothes”—Carl Friedrich Gauss. We wish we could paint a beautiful picture for you, dear Capricorn, of vivid colours for you to see, and dazzling adventures for you to experience. Can you, instead, imagine it—your life spreading out before you with no end of possibilities in sight?

QUESTION: Thank you all for your thoughtful responses toourquestions in the last10 issuesofthe paper. Please give us a summary of why you believe voters in this riding should cast their ballots for you.

Jamie Schmale,Conservative Party A strong economy, low taxes, jobs, free trade, income credits—we’re cutting tax, increasing benefits, andspending in the right places. Our streets will be safer, and the rights of victims and

law-abiding citizens will always be put ahead of criminals, with real penalties for violent crime. We’ve created over one million jobs since the recession. We’re protecting our farmers and manufacturers. We’ve spent $202,125,142 in our riding. We’re cutting payroll taxes by 20 percent, freezing CPP rates. We’ll cut taxes on small business

again, so they can hire more full-time, high-wage employees. We’ve made free-trade agreements with 39 countries. We’ve introduced credits for single seniors, apprentices, first-time homebuyers and home-renovations. We’re spending billions on income splittingandtheUniversalChildCareBenefit.Wereduced EI payroll costs and we’ll cut rates again. There’s still much to do. I can’t wait to get started. Vote Jamie Schmale on Oct. 19.

William MacCallum,Green Party A bright and promising future awaits this riding through the bold new ideas that would be implemented if I were your Member of Parliament. Our riding would join the

21st century with thriving small business, innovative opportunities for young people made accessible by free tuition, and great local jobs. I would listen to you, and always put your collective best interest first, instead ofmy party’s.This is not only allowed but expected of me as a Green Party MP, unlike the other parties. The science is clear. We must act urgently or we will lose the chance to prevent runaway climate change.

Election InsightThe 11th and last in The Kawartha Promoter’s ongoing Q-and-A series with the federal election candidates for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock (HKLB). Please vote.

A strong, passionate voice for our community.

People. Mike is running for office to help people and build vibrant communities that include our seniors, young people, business owners and farmers. Mike is a listener and will be a voice for all people in our communities. Community. Mike has always been involved in the communities in our area. From health care to job creation to youth and our seniors, Mike knows the issues that matter and he gets results. Experience. Mike is a lawyer and social worker with nearly 10 years experience with the federal government. He has negotiated at the United Nations and managed multi-million dollar projects.

“Mike stands for all of us! Are you ready for change?” – Camille Parent, small business owner & seniors' advocate, Omemee

One of the solutions is a Carbon Fee and Dividend, which would slash greenhouse gas emissions and put money in your pocket directly, without raising taxes. Places with a price on carbon (British Columbia, California, parts of Europe) are thriving and leading the world. We can join them.

David Marquis,Liberal Party Thanks for the opportunity to present our ideas in your paper these past few weeks. It has been an honour to represent the Liberal Party in this election

and a great pleasure to meet folks from every corner of our riding and hear their ideas and hopes for the future. I believe the Liberal Party plan to reduce taxes for themiddleclass,increasechildbenefitsandinvestin our future with Canada’s largest infrastructure investment is the right plan for Canada and for HKLB. I also believe my years of experience in municipal politics, in business and in agriculture willreapbenefitsfortheconstituentsinthisridingthat my fellow candidates can’t offer. My knowledge of conservation and water management fits well in a region with lakes and

rivers from end to end. I am dedicated to working for real change. Please support me with your vote on Oct. 19.

Mike Perry, New Democratic Party I want to get the federal government moving again to help people and build our communities. I have a record of getting results locally whether it’s raising money through our

United Way, bringing our local blood labs back, or recruiting new doctors to our area. I have worked for the federal government in Ottawa and know how to get things done. I will work tirelessly—with new ideas and approaches—with the people and communities for our riding. This is my home. I grew up in Fenelon Falls, with family roots in Norland and Kinmount. I work in Lindsay and live with my wife Jill just outside Little Britain. Jill will be a family doctor here next year. I want to make politics about people again and end partisan bickering. I am a strong, new choice that people can count on. Together, we can have the Canada and communities we want.

DON’T FEED THE DUCKS—NO BUTTSBy Julia Taylor ([email protected]) My whole life I have enjoyed the lakes—the old “L” dock at the Fenelon beach, boating, and wakeboarding, fishing, andkayaking. Snowmobiling and ice fishinginthewinter,soakinginthe

breeze and cooling off in the summer. Never did I feel a responsibility to take care of the lake ... until one sunny day a few years ago (cue dream-sequenceviolinmusic). It was a Sunday afternoon, and my husband and IwereoutfishinginouroldtinboatonthesouthendofSturgeonLakenearthefloatingcottages.Afamilyof ducks came to say hello, and as we watched the little ducklings, we saw one scoop up a cigarette butt into his mouth. Oh no, what will happen to that baby duck after eating a butt? Will he die? Then the baby spit the butt out—phew. I wondered: “Why is there a cigarette butt floatinginourlake?” Then it dawned on me. “Me—that’s why.” I’ve been an on and off smoker since I was a teenager—a terribly hard habit to kick—and even

though I would never litter and care about the environment, I threw my butts out the window of my truck. Maybe because my truck didn’t come with an ashtray? Maybe because the butt is so small that I didn’t think it was litter? I don’t know why. But at that “duckling” moment, I visualized the butt landing on the shoulder, eventually making its waytotheditch,andthenflowingintothelakethatI love so much. From that day on I had an ashtray in my truck. And if I was somewhere else with no ashtray, I extinguished it and put it in my pocket. From that day on—my garbage, my responsibility. One cigarette butt contaminates one litre of water—our lake water. And one cigarette butt is enough to poison an animal. Our Kawartha lakes give so much to us. Let’s give back by taking care of them and keeping litter—including cigarette butts—out of them. Did you know that terracycle.ca recycles cigarette butts and gives money for them to a charity of your choice? Check it out.

MADE-TO-ORDER DAY RAISES $8,000

REVITALIzING ROSEDALEBy Jennifer Wilson Volunteers and local companies and organizations are banding together to make a real difference in Rosedale. Their once vibrant and well-used parkette had become overgrown and a dumping ground for rusting equipment and garbage. A concernedgroup of residents (ROR – Residents of Rosedale) got together to make a difference, and their efforts are easily seen. They have cleaned up the once overgrown and littered area, and have planted $1,600 worth of trees from Trees Canada and Shields Home Hardware. Recently, the volunteers spent a gruelling day digging, planting thousands of plants and shovelling mulch to form a pollinator garden and a riparian garden along the shoreline at the new park. The end result is going to be amazing. Next step is to lay the gravel paths and groundcover seeding, and to place the donated

benches and picnic table. What a wonderful example of what a small group of concerned citizens can accomplish…Go ROR.. If you would like to get involved, please contact the Coboconk, Norland & Area Chamber of Commerce at 705-454-1110.

BLOWN TOP DIDN’T STOP POP’S—AND SON’S—

FUNDRAISING Just weeks before Shahzil Mohamed and his father Shaukat were to head off on a fundraising trek through Cotopaxi National Park in Ecuador (see “Tackling the volcano to “Save the Children’,” Aug. 7,page23)theCotopaxivolcanoeruptedforthefirsttime in 75 years, It sent plumes of volcanic ash and steam high into the sky, and was emitting a nearly continuous stream of ash and steam. There were also reports of mild tremors. The Ecuadorian government declared a national state of emergency and the volcano was being monitored24hoursaday,buttherewasstillquiteabit of uncertainty on the ground. As a result, the Remedy’s Rx Ecuador Challenge insupportofSavetheChildrenCanadawasofficiallycancelled—and Shahzil and Shaukat had to cancel their own planned adventure. It’s not all doom and gloom, however. Thanks to many generous donors, Mohamed father and son raised almost $9,000 for Save the Children. They are thankful for the support, and promise the donations will still be directed to Save the Children’s “Children Lead the Way” program. With the Canadian government’s matching grant, this will translate to almost $36,000 in the field.

CHORISTERS CORNER: THINKING OF CHRISTMAS

Summer is gone, schools are open and Chorister practices have resumed. It’s time to think of the Christmas concert, and the music that Bob Plummer has chosen is wonderful. There’s lots of work ahead for us to learn, but that is one of the fun challenges for this group. The choir welcomed one new member, Joan Todd, who sings in the soprano section. We hope additional people will be interested in joining our team, especially for the tenor and bass sections. Although the Choristers primarily sing, they do have fun as well. In August we held a corn roast and potluck dinner. It was a good social time for everyonetore-acquaintandcatchuponnewsandhappenings. The weather co-operated and even the mosquitostookaholiday. Our director and his wife, Laura, are taking a short holiday next week, so Debbi Risebrough will put the ladies through their paces in a sectional practice. The men will have their turn further down the road.

They’re all unique, with hidden nooks andcranniesforquietreflection.Flashesofcolourfromdifferent perennials, shrubs and annuals greet you as you wander from one wow to another. Peeking out from this array of plants are beautiful garden ornaments that add creativity to each garden. Gardeners have spent hours of love, nurturing, enjoyment and care to create these many local private and public gardens and landscapes. All our public gardens and bridge baskets were stunning this year. So many people have said thank you to the Horticultural Society volunteers for helping to make our village beautiful. Here is the list of our 2015 Gardens Beautiful winners as chosen by our panel of judges through the summer. Congratulations:•Commercial Property: Kawartha Dairy, 89

MINAAJIM:GOOD STORIES FROM

CURVE LAKE FIRST NATIONThe Hockey Dog

As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka Curve Lake was home to all kinds of dogs in my lifetime. I want to acknowledge how amazing some of these animals were. Among them was a remarkable sled-dog who used to pull a toboggan around for a few old guys. He also hunted with several people in the community, and loved to play with the children. His name was Go-kosh, meaning “pig”—because he was always so ravenous for any kind of food. No one claimed him as their own. He was a community dog, a friend to everyone. Go-kosh would come watch us play ice hockey on the lake. He loved to watch Shaanigun, with his “home ratter” (that’s what we called a home-made hockey stick), skating rings around everyone else and scoring amazing goals. Remember Shkin, the skater who was legendary at evading the game wardens? Well Shaanigun was his son and seemed born to skate. Go-kosh also loved to watch John the goalie whowasasquickasanochii(housefly). Then there was Vern who was an oversized kid who was good at hockey simply because he was always in the way; and Ephie, the referee, who had

everybody in the penalty box for most of the game. Donnie was really good at checking people andusinghisderriere toflipplayersrightoverhisbody.Perryhadreallybeautifulequipment,skates,gloves, jerseys—he was a good team player and we called him “The Captain.” Then there was Junior, a gentleman who was known as the Jean Beliveau of CurveLake.Heneverlostafight. Go-kosh loved to watch them all play hockey. One day, we were all playing hockey down at Henry’s Gummeeng (Landing) near the ice road, the one for cars and other vehicles. Everyone was down there watching the game, including Go-kosh. Across the lake came a huge lumber truck, one of those 18-wheelers. Well Go-kosh loved to chase vehicles too and he started running after that truck. The ice road would get these huge ruts in them and poor Go-kosh slipped into one of them and nine wheels ran over him. We all looked on in disbelief. Our favourite dog had been run-over. But Go-kosh got up. And then he gives us a silly, stupid dog smile and runs off into the nearby marsh. And that was the last we ever saw of him. May Manitou rest Go-kosh’s soul. He was a good dog. There were a few dogs around over the years similar to Go-kosh, who were friends and helpers to all, amazing animals within our communities, but that is another story….

LET US BE MINDFUL Altamae Thomas Eberlee, the daughter of long-time village doctor, W.D. Thomas, brought in her late father’s 1980 book, The Hub of the Kawarthas, with the request that we reprint this concluding paragraph from the book. We’re happy to do so, with the additional reminder that our forefathers (and foremothers) would not have been able to settle here without the agreement of the original peoples, the Anishinaabek, who already lived here in intimate relationship with these shining lands and waters—and who still do.

“Our final view is from a vantage point on thecrest of a hill overlooking the village. This is most impressive if the observation is made on a moonlit evening when one may observe the twinkling lights of the 500-acre village, nestled on the basin of the ancientAlgonquinRiver. “Around the rim, one notes the silhouettes of lovely pines rearing their heads above the horizon in an atmosphere free from the pollution of smoking factory chimneys. “The moonbeams trace a path of light across thelake,definingthetrailbywhichourforefathersarrived, and casting shadows over Verulam Cemetery, theirfinalrestingplace. “As we scan the horizon, the reflected lightsof Peterborough, Omemee, Lindsay, Cameron, Fenelon Falls, Coboconk, Kinmount and Buckhorn mark the boundaries of our inheritance, the rim of our symbolic wheel. “Within the boundaries are the lands in which our forefathers settled, and made it possible for us to enjoy the fruits of their labours. “Let us be mindful of our duties to preserve and protect its natural beauties of woodlands, waterways, and fertile farmlands for the enjoyment of future generations.”-from The Hub of The Kawarthas (page 149), by Dr. W.D. Thomas.

CINDY WINSPROVINCIAL

AWARD Congratulations to Bobcaygeon’s Cindy Snider, the family doctor recruitment and retention coordinator for the Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative (KLHCI). The Rural Ontario Medical Program (ROMP) has given her the ROMP 2015 Community Medical Education Coordinator award. Cindy co-ordinates medical education learners in Kawartha Lakes (CKL), including medical

students and clerks, plus family medicine residents. In 2014/2015, she helped facilitate 54 medical electives throughout the community, giving the learners an opportunity to discover firsthand themanybenefitsofpracticingandlivinginCKL. “Medical education coordination, community development, recruitment and retention, she does it all and then some,” said Dr. Peter Wells, ROMP Executive Director, in presenting the award. “Her commitment to the City of Kawartha Lakes community to assist community members in obtaining local health care has been remarkable.” “We continuously receive feedback on how Cindy has exceeded the learners’ expectations,” says KLHCI President Robyn McNabb.

FOCUS ON STRENGTHS OF ADHD KIDS

An article in Canadian Psychology suggests current classroom strategies to help children with AttentionDeficit/HyperactivityDisorder(ADHD)aremissinghalf of the equation—the child’s strengthsand abilities. About 5-10 percent of school-age children in Canada are diagnosed with ADHD; meaning they have problems with inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. These children often struggle in the classroom and have negative interactions with teachers and peers. For children with ADHD, their parents and teachers, the excitement of a new school year can be overshadowed by the stress of coping with academic and social challenges. They are typically portrayed in a negative light. But attempting to “fix” deficits tends to create anegative bias, leading parents, teachers—and the children themselves—to focus only on what is going wrong. Such children are often prescribed drugs and behaviour management, which can have both positive and negative effects. On the other hand, focusing on a child’s strengths (while acknowledging their weaknesses) can nurture positive behaviour and foster resilience. Authors Dr. Emma Climie, University of Calgary, and Dr. Sarah Mastoras, Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, argue that identifying and building on the strengths, resources, and abilities of children with ADHD may help parents and teachers see beyond frustrating behaviours to better help them develop positive strategies and coping mechanisms. These strategies can then help children to compensate for areas of deficit, leading to morepositive classroom experiences that may in turn protect them from developing depression and/or anxiety. The research review suggests some alternative classroom practices that sound like they could benefitallstudents:•fosteringpositiverelationshipswithstaffandusing

goal-directed solitary play to buffer a child from peer rejection;

•incorporating a child’s interests into classroomactivities to encourage focus, motivation, and perseverance;

•encouraging inclusion through group activitieswith a variety of roles that validate each child’s strengths;

LEARN FROM UK’S DISMAL HEALTH-CARE MISTAKE

Private surgery and procedure clinics are a “colossal and expensive failure” in the United Kingdom (UK) and Ontario should learn from the UK’s “dismal experience and not expand their use,” says Frank Dobson, a former UK health minister. Dobson was in Ontario for a series of media conferences, including one at the Haliburton Legion on Sept. 17, sponsored by the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU) and the hospital division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. The Ontario government plans to expand the use of private specialty clinics to deliver procedures and surgeries now provided by local community hospitals. But Dobson said this model of care is not working well in England. There is concern about care quality, heexplained, and private clinics have walked away from surgery contracts, leaving thousands of patients in the lurch. Nearly 6,000 patients a year in the UK are transferred to public hospitals following operations at private clinics that have gone wrong. That country’s experience with private clinics includescontractflippingandtheoutrightcollapseofone private facility in the riding Dobson represented

as MP for 35 years, until this spring. This is Dobson’s second visit to Ontario. In 2007 he revealed that UK private clinics were being paid 11 per cent more than public hospitals for the same type of surgeries. Ontario’s Auditor General reported in 2012 that more than 97 per cent of the private clinics operating in Ontario are private, for-profitcorporations subject to lower regulatory oversight, inspection and infection-control standards than public hospitals, said OCHU regional vice-president Kevin Cook.

DOES HEARING LOSS AFFECT BRAIN FUNCTION?

If you are an older adult who has resisted the need to avail yourself of a hearing aid that could help you overcome your hearing loss, you may have more to lose than a few snippets of conversation. Recent research shows that older adults with even mild to moderate hearing loss may experience cognitive decline about 41 percent faster than those with normal hearing. This translates into undergoing a decline in brain function about three years sooner than would otherwise be the case. While no direct link between hearing loss and cognitive decline has been established, it is thought that hearing loss leads to social isolation and loneliness, which are also associated with cognitive decline. The most common treatment for hearing loss is wearing properly fitted hearing aids. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, patients are reluctant to follow treatment advice and often delay treatment for several years after recognizing that they are having difficulty. It’s important for health care workers to discuss hearing with their patients and to be proactive in addressing any hearing declines over time. To schedule a hearing assessment, please call us.P.S. Some researchers theorize that the brain is forced to allocate more of its resources to processing the hearing of hearing-impaired individuals, which compromises its abilities in other areas such as thinking and remembering.

NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN“EMMA”

Fifteen years have passed on by since you were called above.

Resting there beside “our Bev”, your daughter, my “special love”

Those whom “we love” go out of sightbut “never” out of mind.

They are cherished in the hearts of those they leave behind.

Life brings much that alters,time brings much that’s new.

One thing “never” alters,that’s memories dear, of you.

Only those “who have lost” can tell,the loss of “loved ones” without farewell.

Sleep on “dear Emma”, take your rest.They miss you most who love you best.

Some day we will meet again,some day I know not when.

To clasp your hands in the better landand be with “you all” again.

Always in my thoughtsand forever in my heart.Your loving son-in-law,

THIS KAWARTHA LIFE: AN OCCASIONAL SERIES

Our Rope-Driven Woot Was A HootBy Glenna Burns Way back around 1902, the new Horseless Carriage was taking off. Sam McLaughlin was developing his McLaughlin-Buick Model F in Oshawa. Meanwhile, in Bobcaygeon, J.H. Moore, owner of his own Carriage Works, was developing the WOOT automobile. That’s right, Bobcaygeon could have been the auto manufacturing centre of Ontario had the WOOT taken off. The WOOT was named after its designer’s initials, William Orton Orville Thomas. It was gas powered and rope driven with a stinging top speed of 10 miles per hour. It ran on a two-cycle, single-cylinder, Wade engine made by the Oregon Chain Saw Company. The Moore Carriage works, situated where the Bank of Commerce stands today, built just three of those beauties. Sadly the road conditions were mostly mud and paths, a terrain not suitable to the new-fangled WOOT. In 2006, Norman and Marion Helm Kay proudly donated their restored WOOT--one of the three--to Kawartha Settlers’ Village, where it is on display today. Go take a look.
