OFF THE TOP

2013 was a difficult year for newspapers in the City of Kawartha Lakes.

The Lindsay Post shut its doors in June after serving the community for 152 years. In December, Kawartha Lakes This Week announced that it was no longer publishing a Tuesday edition. Consequently, the large newspaper chains have gone from giving readers and advertisers in our area just one paper a week, from four. Already in 2014, another area publication, CAPS, has foreshadowed that it will decrease its paper size as a cost-cutting measure. There is, however, one local publication that went the opposite way in 2013. The re-named Kawartha Promoter expanded its news coverage area to the entire City of Kawartha Lakes. We increased circulation from 11,000-12,000 to 14,000-15,000 and delivered through Canada Post to homes in Bobcaygeon, Fenelon

Falls, Dunsford and suburban areas of Lindsay. We have new newsmagazine racks about to be rolled out across the city. 2014 will also see a new and exciting website featuring an updated news section that will allow the Kawartha Promoter to keep on top of breaking news stories. In short, we are getting bigger and better and advertisers and readers lamenting the losses of 2013 can look to our independent publication for an alternative. After all, we are the Kawartha Promoter … what people really read.

Help wanted at community rink The rink (at Tommy Anderson Park) started with two feet of snow having to be packed down and plowed. We arrived with shovels and felt the task was overwhelming. While standing on the side of the road, we flagged down a snowmobiler who happily flattened down the rink surface. This is what a community ice rink is about, people working together for the betterment and enhancement of our community. When we came back later to try to flood, there was a split in the line and the locks changed without keys. There was a young mom and her six-year-old arriving with hockey stick in hand, hoping to skate. He was here visiting grandma and remembered the rink. This is why we do it, to put the smiles on children’s faces, to keep our kids outside and healthy. The rink restarted in 2008. I understand there has been many a rink at this location over the years. It has been shoveled and flooded by three main families, the Blodgetts, Keoughs and Pillsworths. Other families have come and gone over the years.The fire department helps out with flooding as long as the parking lot is plowed. We got a discounted rate from W & G Landscape to plough the rink and the city is reimbursing us for costs for 2013 and this year. The city also pays for water and hydro and the hoses, shovels and broom have been donated. It takes a lot of effort and time to do this rink. Last year, we had to rebuild it three times. Help would be greatly appreciated in any way. If anyone is interested in helping out please call me or send an email. Students can also receive their community hours. Please help us keep this rink alive.Ruth Pillsworth (rink co-ordinator)Bobcaygeon705-738-6954 or [email protected]

The CAT task force (CTF) met approximately four times over three years. Participation was solicited from the public and/or agencies involved with animal welfare and/or care services. Criteria for qualification was nonrestrictive, however volunteers with a keen interest in animal welfare or involved with a veterinary clinic, animal rescue program, breeding operation or pet supply store were welcomed. As is the practice with city committees and task forces, involvement is voluntary. No one was paid for their time. The only councillor involved was me. City staff involvement included the director of development services, a recording secretary and two representatives of bylaw enforcement. The manager of municipal law enforcement, Gord Garfield, was and still is the lead on the task force. The primary mandate of the task force was to review the issue(s) related to the estimated 25,000 feral and stray cats in the city, to report on its findings and to make recommendations to council. Approximately six hours of meeting time has been consumed over the past three years, excepting research and data collation. The task force initially spent considerable time discussing such questions as what is a feral cat, where do they live, is there a problem in the city, why should we care about feral cats, is there a humane and effective way for managing feral cat colonies, what is involved in a

trap, neuter and release (TNR) program and what is the city doing about the problem? The first step to the last question was the establishment of the task force. The CTF undertook a review of the city’s animal control bylaw as well as the activities of other municipalities with respect to feral and/or stray cat problems. As for the pilot project, a number of variables and information still has to be gathered. The task force wants to present council with evidence-based data relating to the number of colonies in the city and the costs to undertake a TNR program. The collection of this data takes time and people. The CTF established a three-tier plan to address the problem. First, education. Second, pilot project to institute a TNR program in an area identified as a problem. Third, TNR implementation. The education brochure was the first step of the plan; the $500 cost approved as part of the municipal law enforcement’s 2013 operating budget. The costs to implement a pilot TNR project varies, though is estimated at between $52,000 and $83,000 and is based on approximately $100 per spay or neuter, a one-day clinic per year

servicing 520 to 832 animals and does not include the costs to the volunteers for traps, transport, building maintenance, etc. Given the prohibitive cost of such a program, one of the goals of the task force is to secure a funding source(s) that will have little to no impact on the CKL taxpayer in these difficult fiscal times. Mr. Gilbertson, as you can see, the amount of work involved as well as the cost of the program is exorbitant and until such time as the task force has collated and identified problem areas, veterinary participation, a follow-up program plan, and a funding source, these volunteers will continue to work toward finding a solution. The work of the

volunteer task force is by no means completed and I look forward to their ideas and most certainly appreciate their time and effort.Donna VillemaireCouncillor, Ward 8

Feral cat documentary recommended Here is a link to a documentary on feral cats: www.cbc.ca/player/Shows/ID/1724295516/ Some of the actions for cat population seem pretty straightforward. It has been awhile since I have watched it but I think they demonstrate that spay/neuter programs are pretty ineffective. If the task force has not seen it they should give it a look. I don’t think education will work. The Calgary solution seems the most effective, licensing and stiff fines. We need the political will and public support for a big stick bylaw on this matter.Rob Stavinga

Thanks to Globus Our thanks go out to Sarah Quick and James Barrett, director and producer of Globus Theatre, for making it possible for our young people to experience acting in and viewing live theatre at its best.

St. John’s ambulance gives thanks The 10th annual St. John Ambulance Christmas craft sale was held Dec. 7 at the Victoria Park Armoury in Lindsay. Shoppers did some Christmas shopping to support St. John’s Ambulance and the United Way of Kawartha Lakes. More than 60 vendors offered a wide assortment of crafts, Christmas baking and treats. Door prizes and raffle prizes were generously provided by vendors and local businesses. Tom White of Woodville was the lucky 50/50 draw winner of $598. Thanks to all the vendors, shoppers and volunteers. We look forward to seeing you again at next year’s sale. Judy Hartin

We are thrilled that we were so well supported by our wonderful community of Bobcaygeon and area. We wish to thank the choirs: Kawartha Male Chorus, (Eleanor Bailey - director), Bobcaygeon Choristers - (Bob Plummer – director),Trinity United Church Choir - (Jan Carson - director).

City Hall by Gord Killen

The last meeting for 2013 (Dec. 12) was a special council meeting to examine two weighty issues. The first was municipal responsibility agreements, or MRAs, relating to the city’s response if a private owner of a communal water system defaults on his or her responsibilities. The second is the need to upgrade the Lindsay water pollution control plant. There were two presentations about possible solutions and cost of options.

Municipal Responsibility Agreement Manager of environmental services, David Kerr, and coordinator of current planning, Richard Holy, made presentations on the possible implications of non-municipal and municipal communal water systems under different scenarios. The current MRA applies to all development or redevelopment proposed on communal services. It would apply equally to mobile home parks, trailer parks, hotels, conference centres and other rural uses. Staff, however, recommended that the revised policy should only apply to habitation uses such as rural or waterfront residential development, residential mobile home parks and trailer parks and tourist camps open for more than six months that are serviced by communal water and/or wastewater services, as defined through zoning. The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) defines seasonal development as being shut down for a period of time between 60 and up to 180 consecutive days in each calendar year. Serviced by a seasonal non-municipal system, this form of development would also continue to be subject to the MRA but represents less risk to the city. Considerable discussion centered on the possible implications in relation to a number of

‘what ifs’ particularly one of potential cost to the city. Both the MOE and the health unit indicated that in the event of a default of a private owner of seasonal or non-seasonal communal systems, both agencies would follow processes that involve working with the city where possible. However, they may order the city to take over ownership or upgrade one or more of these systems under certain circumstances where they feel that public health and safety and/or the environment would be at risk. Many councillors were concerned about the potential cost implications.

Upgrading of the Lindsay Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) David Kerr and regulatory compliance officer Rob Gamache briefed council on future requirements for the city to accommodate an expected population increase. It was timed to provide councillors with an opportunity to review a draft prior to public meetings slated for early 2014. The estimated cost of the upgrades and expansion is $24.3 million between 2014 and 2031. The existing Lindsay WPCP is currently treating an average sewage flow of 15,800 m3 per day. Based on the population projections for the community of Lindsay, the WPCP will reach its rated capacity of 21,500 m3 per day by approximately 2025. Therefore, the plant requires additional capacity in order to service projected growth to 2031. During questioning, it was disclosed that total cost of the upgrades could reach as high as $40 m. Ward 7 Coun. Brian Junkin said the city already owed $31 m as a result of bringing 21 different water systems and eight wastewater systems online since amalgamation.

ENbRiDGELOOkiNG AT FENELON

By Lisa GervaisFENELON FALLS – Enbridge is once again exploring the possibility of bringing natural gas to Fenelon Falls but has ruled out Bobcaygeon for now. The gas company is holding a public information session Monday, Jan. 20 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Fenelon Falls Community Centre (27 Veterans Way). Spokesman Norm Ryckman, who is director of market development and sales, emphasized that

Enbridge “may” apply to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for approval to build a 28 km pipeline to Fenelon. He said it was very early stages and the company may also not apply. First, they have to do an environmental assessment of a potential route to see if there are concerns; how those concerns might be mitigated and costs. He said that in the past the cost of bringing natural gas to Fenelon Falls has proven prohibitive but things change. “The environment is now different. Natural gas prices are very low and savings to customers can be robust.” He said there was customer interest and Enbridge was keen to discuss ways of closing the financially unviable gap with members of the community. As for Bobcaygeon, he said “we’re not looking at Bobcaygeon at this point of time” but said they never completely close a door to a community. He said there would be more consultation on the Fenelon Falls project, whether Enbridge decides to

In the span of half an hour, I got to tee off on the par 4, 353-yard first hole at Pebble Beach; kick a soccer ball at a professional goalie in a packed stadium; fire a slap shot at a hockey goalie; swing for the fences in a professional baseball stadium; hunt ducks and throw a dodgeball at zombies trying to scale a fence in front of me – and all of this in Lindsay. And, I could have done a whole lot more after discovering Lindsay Golf Simulators-Lindsay Golf Exchange at 63 Kent St. W. recently. They are located behind the Service Canada building

and are well worth looking for. Mike Mudie has set up what can only be described as the ultimate sports cave with the game simulators just one thing on offer. He also has a full bar with food; Satellite TVs showing a plethora of sports; table hockey; shuffleboard; billiards, Xbox 360 and sporting memorabilia for sale. Downstairs is a fully-stocked store filled with everything from golf accessories to giftware. If you have been missing the links, it is a great place to come out and dust off the swing. Or, if you are planning a kids party, it is a wonderful place to

actively wear the children out without having to go out into the snow or cold. “All of the sports are basically realistic and they can actually wear themselves out,” Mudie says of children and adults alike. This business even installs indoor and outdoor putting greens. With the Olympics coming up, and the time zone change, they will be PVR’ing and screening the Games. It is also worth considering for March break activities. For more information, check out www.lindsaygolfsimulators.com .

MOviES COMiNGbACk TO FENELON

By Lisa GervaisFENELON FALLS – A group of Fenelon Falls and area residents, known as The Kawartha Lakes Film Circuit (KLFC), are hoping to bring a monthly movie event to the village featuring Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) movies as well as Fenelon Fall sshigh school produced short films. The group held an information night about its Films by the Falls initiative Jan. 9 in the town. Chair Kathryn Rogers told the Kawartha Promoter that she and five others have been

working on the project since the summer and it is starting to take shape. She said the intent is to bring TIFF films to Fenelon as “we’re all passionate about watching movies and want to share that passion.” She said it would be a unique offering for the area as cinemas outside of Toronto, such as in Kinmount and Lindsay, do not show TIFF movies. She said they were partnering with Fenelon Falls High School. She said students are forming a film club and being encouraged to make their own short films that will be shown before the TIFF movies and the high school is the venue for now. The former movie theatre in Fenelon Falls is not reopening. Rogers said they hope to have their first monthly film event in March, likely skip the summer months, and recommence in September. She emphasized it would be something for locals, not necessarily tourists. She estimated that movie tickets would be $10 apiece. Rogers said the KLFC is associated with a TIFF outreach program that goes to 160 Canadian communities. “What we’re about is experiencing the world through film,” Rogers said of anticipated films from other parts of Canada and around the world. People unable to attend last Thursday’s meeting can sign up for the FILMS by the FALLS newsletter at www.filmsbythefalls.com or sign up on their Facebook page.

bObCAyGEON TEEN kiLLED iN SNOWMObiLE CRASH

By Lisa Gervais

“As I look through old photos and memories I realize life is nothing more than a dream... And then we wake up” - Jonathan Tully

bObCAyGEON – The sister of a 17-year-old Bobcaygeon man killed in a snowmobile accident Jan. 4 in the village said her brother “died doing something that he loved and talked about a lot”. Jonathan Tully was laid to rest this past Saturday (Jan. 11) and his sister paid tribute to him in an e-mail to the Kawartha Promoter. “Jonathan was a very funny guy that had a funnier laugh than the joke,” she said. “He always quoted from songs and movies. He was an old soul who loved classic rock like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, the Tragically Hip etcetera and loved Bob Marley. He loved to party and hang out with friends. “He has been riding snowmobiles, ATVs and dirt bikes since (he was) a little boy and got his very own brand new Yamaha 50 when he was five years old. He died doing something that he loved and talked about a lot. Jonathan lived on Little Bob channel five minutes from where the accident took place.” The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) continue to investigate the fatal snowmobile collision. They said

that at approximately 2:15 p.m. Jan. 4, officers from the City of Kawartha Lakes detachment responded to an incident on the Little Bob channel near the bridge located on Kawartha Lakes Road 36. They said the initial investigation indicated that Mr. Tully was operating his snowmobile when he struck a frozen snow embankment causing the snow machine to go airborne and launching him into the bridge. Mr. Tully was transported via ambulance to a local hospital where he died as a result of his injuries. Police said the OPP’s Technical Collision Investigation (TCI) unit attended the scene to assist with the investigation and no charges were expected to be laid.

LETHAMTO RUN FOR MAyOR

By Lisa GervaisThe way Andy Letham sees it, he is standing at home plate with two strikes against him and he isn’t about to return to the dugout. Letham used the baseball analogy after officially filing his nomination papers for mayor of the City of Kawartha Lakes Jan. 6 - following consecutive defeats at the hands of current mayor Ric McGee in 2010 and 2006. “A lot of games have turned around on that two-strike pitch,” Letham said while seated in his office at the Lindsay Exhibition Fairgrounds the day after throwing his ball back in the game. He plans to swing for the fences. Speculation is rife that McGee will not seek a third term although he has not gone on record with the Kawartha Promoter to say that. Asked if a McGee decision to run would alter his plans, Letham said “no, not at all.” He said he feels the timing is right this time around. “Timing is everything in politics and I feel good about the timing.” But what is it about the timing, he is asked and the McGee factor is undeniable. “When you are up against an incumbent it’s hard. Ric had had one term and people gave him a second chance.” However, Letham believes that after eight years with McGee as mayor “it’s time for a change.” Letham said there was a time he thought he might not run as he did not want to be seen as “the guy who won’t go away” but after talking to numerous people “I still think I’m the best person for the job.” His campaign hasn’t really changed from his consistent message of “we need to find a better way to do business.” He adds “the whole continuity role of council needs to be more focused.” He sees positive signs, noting the implementation of the Lean Six Sigma management strategy but thinks council continues to micromanage the city, a job it should leave to staff. He believes council doesn’t listen to the people it claims to consult with publicly. He also addresses staff morale, saying “positive energy at city hall starts at the top and filters down.”

Asked about a possible ward restructure and fewer councillors, Letham said he is open to the idea “but that’s up to the community.” So, why did he file so early? “A lot of people were wondering and I was getting constant questioning. I thought I would do it before I change my mind,” he says with a smile. He said he also wanted to get a head-start on fundraising for his campaign. “I feel pretty good about it. I’m optimistic. I want to focus on going forward, not talking about the past.” Nominations opened Jan. 1 for the municipal elections which will be held Oct. 27. Others to file their paperwork (as of Wednesday, Jan. 15) are: Bill Denby (mayor) and Doug Elmslie, Gord Miller, Ron Ashmore, Steven Brooker, Gerald McGregor and Heather Stauble (councillor).

SUMAC RiDGEAPPEAL TO bE HEARD

bETHANy - Ward 16 Coun. Heather Stauble says an Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) appeal has been granted for the Sumac Ridge wind project. She said preliminary hearings will take place Jan. 24 and Feb. 14 at 10 a.m. and the full ERT appeal hearing on Feb. 24 at 11 a.m. at the Howard Johnson in Lindsay. Manvers Wind Concerns (MWC) and other parties have filed the appeal. Stauble said any individual or organization may apply for status as a party, participant or presenter any time up to four days before the preliminary hearing date. “Residents who live in the area and any individuals or organizations who have an interest can and should take advantage of the opportunity to express their concerns at the environmental tribunal. You do not need a lawyer for this process,” Stauble said. In an e-mail, MWC said “the battle continues. We must stop this project, near Ballyduff Rd. between Bethany and Pontypool or we fear the rest will follow and the area will then become ripe for infill eventually destroying the landscape forever.” The Ministry of the Environment issued approval for the Sumac Ridge Wind Project on Dec. 11.

Horoscopes Dec. 17 to Jan. 17, 2014Melodie McCullough

Aries (March 21 to April 20)Try to focus on the possibilities in your life rather than impossibilities as you search for meaning and direction in 2014, Aries. You may surprise yourself.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.”: Mother Teresa. What a great perspective! We urge you, Taurus, to take note.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22)As the new year unfolds, Gemini, be sure to pace yourself. Keep your activities and plans measured. Don’t rush and don’t be reckless.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23)In every conflict, there are two sides – and two versions of the truth. If you find yourself caught up in such a clash in the coming weeks, Cancer, stay calm and try to guide the warring players towards a just solution. Your unruffled composure will be a welcome asset.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23)Dear Leo! While everyone else has big plans for the new year ahead, we feel you are not in a good space right now. Please embrace the warmth of those who love you, and take good care of yourself. We are rooting for you!

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23)As a lover, Virgo, you are kind and gentle. It may take a long time to fall in love, but when you do it is with great passion. If you find the “right one”, you have a good chance of making it last a lifetime. This just might be your year!

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23)How many of you have heard someone say, “Oh, I meant to do that, but ‘life’ got in the way.”? Can life really get in the way? Of what? Living?! No, Libra, the interruptions and disturbances that make up our days are what life is all about – and what a boring life it would be without them! So don’t wait for the obstacles to end – do everything you want right now!

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22)Major travel plans may take up a fair bit of 2014 for you Scorpio. Start saving now and make sure to speak up and state your own opinions and hopes for that dream vacation.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21)It’s been awhile, Sag, but Cupid’s arrow has finally found a spot in your heart – and it’s been worth the wait. Treasure every precious moment of this great, new love you can.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20)Get out and enjoy the sunshine as much as you can, Capricorn. Just a short but brisk walk will make a world of difference in your mood – at this time of year you need all the pumping up you can get. And make sure to tell yourself what a wonderful person you are!

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19)We kindly suggest you spend less time obsessing about yourself, Aquarius, in the coming year, and more time thinking of others. You’ll be doing yourself a huge favour. Rather than focus on ‘what’s in it for me?’, why not make your mantra ‘what can I give to others?’

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) An emphasis on your health will be important throughout the months ahead, Pisces. Without good health, we have nothing. Don’t squander it!

HEALiNG MiNiSTRyMARkS 10 yEARS

By Lisa GervaisbObCAyGEON - Seeing three reiki tables set up inside a church sanctuary is not a common sight, but it is at Trinity United Church in Bobcaygeon, which is celebrating 10 years of its healing ministry. Every Wednesday, the tables are set up and clients come in for reiki, reflexoloy or therapeutic touch, in exchange for a donation, with proceeds going to the church, food bank, Bobcaygeon Public School’s breakfast program, the walk-in clinic and

Women’s Resources. Spokeswoman Carol Wells, a reiki practitioner, and Joan Wesley, who does therapeutic touch, approached the church council a decade ago with the ‘holistic approach’ and it was embraced. They started with one table, another was donated and they purchased a third last year. Other healers are Beth Halliday (reiki and reflexology), Marjory Mitchell (reiki) and Sandra Schell (reiki). They can do 12 treatments in an afternoon, averaging about half-an-hour depending on clients’ needs, from mid-September to mid-December and again from January to June. One does not have to be a member of the church to partake and they are on the lookout for other practitioners willing to lend a hand. Client Ellen Herridge has been coming for years. She said it is “totally relaxing. I can hop up on one of those beds and have a nap. It is unbelievable”. Herridge said clients are greeted with hugs, followed by the quietness of a session. A sufferer of chronic bronchitis, she said it has helped with that condition and helped with emotional issues at home. The healers also benefit, says Carol, who said it had been “the most grounding, blessed, rewarding experience.”• For more information, or to book an appointment, call Carol at 705-731-0455

RMH OPENSRADiATiON ONCOLOGy CONSULTATiON CLiNiC

LiNDSAy - After the shock of a cancer diagnosis, patients face numerous visits to specialists and services in other regions. Not all of these visits involve treatment; many are consultations with oncologists and follow-up appointments. Beginning Monday, Jan. 13th, local cancer patients have begun meeting with a radiation oncologist for consultation and follow-up at Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH). The new radiation consultation clinic will be offered every second and fourth Monday in the Continuing Care wing, and save many patients the time and cost of commuting to Oshawa.

FOOT CARE ExPANDEDTO bObCAyGEON

bObCAyGEON - Everyone at Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes is excited to start the new year with the expansion of one of the agency’s long-time programs into the Bobcaygeon area. For several years, CCCKL has offered a basic foot care service several times a month in the Little Britain and Kirkfield areas. Now, the foot care program will be available every second Friday of the month in Bobcaygeon, operating out of the Senior Citizens Centre at 100 Head St. The clinic will be from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Appointments must be booked, by calling Community Care’s Community Health Centre at 705-879-4100.

The service will be provided by a registered practical nurse who has specialized foot care training. The focus is on prevention, early intervention and education, which helps to keep people mobile and decrease the risk of developing foot problems and conditions that can lead to serious health problems. As people age, the chances of developing foot-related complications increase. Diabetics can often develop a variety of foot afflictions. Foot problems most often happen when there is nerve damage (neuropathy), which results in loss of feeling in the feet. Poor blood flow or changes in the shape of feet or toes can also cause problems. The foot care nurse will assess clients’ feet for circulation, sensation, swelling, and the potential risk of ulcer development and falls. Treatments available include nail trimming and filing, care of corns, calluses, basic treatment of warts, ingrown toenails, fungal and thick nails, as well as skin care. An initial assessment will cost $25, with subsequent appointments costing $20. To make an appointment, or to discuss this service further, contact the Community Health Centre for more information.

MORE LOCAL yOUTH TO GET DENTAL CARE

kAWARTHA LAkES - A recent provincial announcement of expanded dental care is good news for local youth in need of oral health services, say representatives of Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes’ dental clinic program. The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care is expanding eligibility for free dental care to

more children and youth in low-income families, by widening eligibility for the Healthy Smiles Ontario program. Catherine Danbrook, chief executive officer for CCCKL says the agency encourages local families to make use of CCCKL’s dental clinic designed to serve low-income residents. Healthy Smiles Ontario is a program for children age 17 and under who do not have access to any form of dental coverage. If deemed eligible by the local health unit, children can receive regular dental services at no cost to families. In order to qualify for the program, families will need to have an adjusted family net income of $21,513 or less for one child, increasing by approximately $1,500 for each additional child. The current income limit to qualify is $20,000. In addition to offering the Healthy Smiles program, the dental clinic offers a full range of basic oral health services at a reduced rate to low-income families. The clinic is at 108 Angeline St. S., Lindsay.

kiNETTE NEWSbObCAyGEON - Bitterly cold winds and snow squalls, what a night to hold our first meeting of 2014 but out we came and had a great time. Things have slowed down now that Christmas and all the festivities have come, and been enjoyed. The Friendship Dinner was certainly a success and a lot of fun and we enjoyed helping The Festival of Trees, by serving two sittings of dinner on Friday night.

I would like to thank all the hardy souls who came to Santa’s Breakfast and enjoyed pancakes and sausages, and a visit and their picture taken with Santa. And a big thank you to Bobcaygeon, the weather didn’t stop you from lining the streets and watching the parade, a beautiful, sparkling wonderland of floats, bands and many other participants, who I also wish to thank for braving the bitterly cold night. In February we will be making the Easter eggs which I know

$5000 FiNE AND TWO-yEAR bAN FOR WALLEyE

TOURNAMENT OFFENCESbObCAyGEON - An Aurora man has been fined and banned from the organization, financing, promotion and administration of walleye tournaments for a period of two years. Teodore Gallone of Aurora pleaded guilty and was fined $5,000 for failing to comply with the conditions set out in a licence to transport live fish. The court heard that the Town of Bobcaygeon retained Gallone to manage a live release walleye

tournament on Sturgeon Lake on June 9 and 10, 2012. Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officers conducted an inspection of Gallone’s live release vessel. It revealed that Gallone neither checked nor monitored the water temperature and oxygen levels in the holding tanks during the tournament. Of the 497 walleye caught over the two-day event, 72 died before release, and an unknown number died shortly after. Justice of the Peace Jason Mariasine heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Lindsay, on Dec. 6, 2013. Anglers are reminded that live release boats used in competitive fishing events must be licensed to transport the catches of multiple anglers. The licence sets conditions for holding, handling and release that promote the successful live return of fish to the water. To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
