From my perch Let me say this as clearly as I can:

BLACK LIVES MATTER

All lives matter. Of course they do—including the lives of police officers like the five recently killed in Dallas. And I mourn for all who die a violent, premature and tragic death—and grieve with those who loved them. But that’s not the point here. The police shootings in early July of Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota, are just the latest in what seems a neverending series of state-sanctioned killings of African-American people in the United States (and Canada), which so far our societies have been willing to let go unpunished (or very

lightly punished). We need to recognize that BLACK LIVES MATTER because our society does not yet truly believe that. The police are acting on society’s behalf when they see young men with dark skin as enemies and take their lives with minimal or no provocation. My own ancestors forcibly kidnapped the ancestors of these young men from their homes and transported them across the ocean to keep as slaves and to treat as beasts of burden. That is history; we know it. And that is systemic racism. That systemic racism still lives. So job one for us is to recognize and own and work to ensure that BLACK LIVES MATTER as much as all lives.

What city?—Open letter to Mayor Letham I just received my tax bill for 2016. And yes, it went up by a whopping 8.1 percent. This means that since amalgamation in 2001 my taxes have gone up by 92.8 percent. They are now at $7,087, and that does not include water or sewage as I am on a septic tank and have my own water supply. Official inflation for 2015 was only 1.2 percent. What happened? I thought amalgamation was supposed to save us all money on our taxes, with fewer mayors and fewer councillors and better economies on everything. The opposite has happened with out-of-control spending by you and the councillors and all of the other mayors and councillors before you. City? What city? I don’t have a sidewalk. I don’t have streetlamps, or a paved road. As a matter of fact our road has never been resurfaced by the City of Kawartha Lakes—and had not been paved by Verulam for some five years prior

to that—so it has not been resurfaced for over 20 years. You repave roads in Bobcaygeon that don’t even need it, and ours gets left undone for 15 years. It is full of huge potholes which the city attempts to fill with asphalt. Every time it rains heavily it washes the repair out—a waste of taxpayers money. My road probably could have been resurfaced with all of the money spent repairing it. When Dalton McGuinty was running for premier of Ontario he promised that if elected, he would de-amalgamate the City of Kawartha Lakes. Well, he got in and broke his promise, claiming they could not afford to do it. Well, we can’t afford not to do it anymore. You are totally out of control, spending money that is not even yours. Did you forget that the money you spend belongs to the people. It is not to spend on anything you please as if it were yours. I now strongly believe that you and the councillors should have a mandate from the people to work very, very hard at de-amalgamation—and to return us to our wonderful Victoria County and all of the townships that were within the county, in my case Verulam. Then, just maybe, we could all afford to stay in this wonderful area.Russ WoodardFenelon Falls

Another country heard from Editor John Bird points are well noted (From my Perch, June 17, page 3), but I would like to point out some grave errors:1. The gun used was NOT an automatic/machine gun. They are not legal nor legally available. The gun was a Sig Sauer 223 calibre, semi-automatic, legal in both the United States and Canada.2. It is a proven fact that the shooter affiliated and swore his allegiance to ISIS. He personally reported this in two of his three calls to 911.3: It is a proven fact that he went to Syria for more personal radicalization and arms training. It would be nice if the media/journalists took their profession seriously. Investigate, get and report the truth and the facts. You have a platform to report. With that platform comes a big responsibility. Unfortunately in too many case they report their opinions and their political preferences.


It is very apparent your political bent is far to the left by your comment about Donald Trump. By the comments I must draw the conclusion that you feel Hillary (Clinton) would be the best bet for the next president. Hillary is a proven liar, under criminal investigation on four different counts by the FBI. Just for starters. If you would like to debate these issues, I would be happy to truthfully and factually do so. It may give you a different outlook and points of view to report on.Bruce ScreatonFlorida, USA

And another side too We eagerly await each copy of The Promoter, and always praise the amount of local news and community activism that is displayed in your paper. The city of Brampton could certainly take lessons from your staff. Mr. Bill LeGard shows us (Your facts are wrong, July 1, page 4) that gun “enthusiasts” will always justify their positions by making ridiculous statements like “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” President Obama has had an uphill battle trying to convince these folks that the United States has the highest rate of gun-related deaths in the modern world. When individuals in some states give these killing machines as gifts for marketing promotions it boggles the mind. The rest of the world understands that weapons like the one used in the Orlando mass murder, are not designed for hunting or rifle-range practice. They are designed to kill people. The US now boasts a mass killing per week (2015 stats) and most young people who die in the US under the age of 24, do so as a result of being shot. Perhaps Mr. LeGard can explain why American people need to carry loaded guns in purses, shopping bags, or just place them in night stands, where their innocent children can point them at each other—or their parents. Mr. Legard, you are brainwashed, just like your NRA friends. Fortunately Canada has few people like you.Marion BartlettBrampton and Four Mile Lake

A plea for tolerance This letter started out as a criticism of the general lack of tolerance shown by too many of your letter writers recently. Specifically, I wanted to write about the attacks on Joe Berta for trying to express his opinions as to the need for a multi-sided dialogue regarding the particular issue of Syrian immigration (See Village Voice, April 22, and following issues). However, in light of recent events, I find myself drawn to plead with these self-same people to please reconsider their approach. One of the great freedoms we enjoy—both here and in the United

States—is that of expressing unpopular views in order to give room for sober thought prior to actions that contrary to their good will and intentions may or may not be helpful. All too often we spend too much time pulling bodies out of the water, rather than going upstream to find and stop those who are dumping them in the river. In closing, let us ask for and offer our good wishes, thoughts and prayers to all the victims of the recent shootings in the USA—black, white, police or civilian. And may I add, for my grandson, Jake, who has just successfully finished his pre-hiring exams for a future career in law enforcement: “Jake. God wish that you will have a simple life, and never have occasion to harm or be harmed.”Gord WeymouthBobcaygeon

Good news at CKL—There’s a surplusBy Pat Warren The City of Kawartha Lakes had a financial surplus of $1,489,152 last year, city Treasurer Carolyn Daynes told council July 5 when she presented the audited financial statement for 2015. She explained the surplus is due to money-saving changes in the call-out procedure for volunteer fire fighters, lower debenture payments, an increase in tax revenue, and $300,000 income

for water and sewer services. This surplus will help build up capital reserves. Daynes offered some other explanation on finances:• The city’s debt-to-reserves ratio is 1.8:1, whereas in

a perfect world debt and reserves should balance one another, 1:1.

• The overall debt is $24 million.• In theory, the city could increase its debt by another

$55 million, but nobody wants to do that.• A good portion of city debt comes from the cost of

the water and sewer financing.• Social housing costs (downloaded from the

province) have also pushed up the debt. • The city makes about three-percent interest on

invested reserves. The information prompted questions from council. Ward 6 Councillor Doug Elmslie asked why the city doesn’t receive grants from the upper levels of government. He was told that Kawartha Lakes is considered to be low risk and not in need of funding compared to other municipalities with even larger debt loads. Ward 14 Councillor Heather Stauble questioned whether it would be wiser to use debt instead of reserves to finance capital projects so the reserves could be built up. Daynes said it’s more important for the city to find other ways to increase revenue—such as increasing fees. Ward 5 Councillor Steve Strangway asked what do we do about the rising cost of water and waste-water services? How do we make this

service more sustainable? Daynes said the conundrum is that users are conserving water (surely a good thing) providing the city with less revenue, while the province keeps mandating more regulations that cost more money. Every year the same questions are asked about the city’s unsustainable water systems. It’s time for the province to recognize that Kawartha Lakes is unique, with its 21 water-treatment plants and six waste-water plants that continue to need upgrades and infrastructure improvements. Dialogue—and provincial action—are needed soon.

From the heartland—and the heartBy Glenna Burns City of Kawartha Lakes Mayor Andy Letham chaired a very orderly and citizen friendly “special council information meeting” at City Hall on June 27. In a two-and-a-half hour, open-mic session focusing on the Core Service Review mandate, citizens spoke “from the heart” about the importance to smaller communities of services like arenas, fire stations and libraries. Speakers emphasized to council how these essential services attract younger families moving from urban centres to the small communities. The small-town setting allows families to keep one car instead of two, as amenities like community centres and libraries are within walking distance. Community arenas, council was told, bring much needed revenue to the community for small-town businesses, especially in the winter months.

Some intervenors suggested that closing arenas is a mistake. Instead of building bigger twin-pad centres, it makes more sense and would save money to refurbish existing sites to give them 20 more years of life. An Omemee delegation wanted to keep their arena but also had a plan to place one of the proposed twin-pad facilities on property available in the village on highway 7. Others pointed out that libraries needed to be in higher traffic locations like service centres or community centres. Hiding a library in a small corner of a community is not the way to ensure usage. Fire-hall closures were also discussed by speakers who stressed the need to hold off on closing essential halls like the ones in Baddow and Coboconk. A new combined hall was a positive suggestion put forward to keep fire fighters in that community. Mayor Andy Letham seemed to be listening intently, as big decisions will need to be made starting with council’s July 12 (and perhaps July 13) meeting. “Council is strongly trying to live within its means,” he said. Nurturing each hamlet and village in CKL is the municipality’s—and council’s—duty. Keeping services in these places, say their citizens, keeps the communities healthy and vibrant. Centralization of services is not always the right answer and bigger is not always better.

Council sticks with Baddow Fire Hall decisionBy Pat Warren Kawartha Lakes council quashed a motion July 5 by Ward 6 Councillor Doug Elmslie to delay the planned closure of the Baddow Fire Hall until a decision has been made on the Coboconk Fire Hall. As reported earlier this year, council had agreed to a peer review of its original decision to close the Baddow station after encountering passionate opposition from area residents. The peer review said that the city’s decision to close the station was “logical, supportable, met NFPS standards, and applied a sound approach to station-location planning.” After hearing the peer report, Elmslie presented his compromise resolution. “We need to do things in a reasoned way that respects the 500 or so inhabitants” affected, he said, adding that he also felt the study needed more in-depth consultation. Ward 5 Councillor Stephen Strangway agreed, saying he wanted to see the best location for Coboconk first. When he asked the consultants whether the fire coverage would be as good as before closure, they said they think it will be improved because of the proximity of the other halls, and an ability to educate the public on the use of emergency procedures. Mayor Andy Letham said prevention and education were important parts of the change. Ward 3 Councillor Gord Miller agreed, and asked how long the Coboconk restructuring would take.

Ward 7 Councillor Brian Junkin spoke against the resolution because he thought council would just be appeasing residents, and the city is oversupplied with fire halls. Elmslie’s final comment was: “ I was elected to represent residents and they like the Coboconk solution.” The motion failed 10 to 7 in a recorded vote, with Elmslie, Strangway, Gord James (W12), Gerard Jilesen (W14), Kathleen Seymour-Fagan (W13), Heather Stauble (W16) and Emmett Yeo (W2) voting for it.

Kawartha Lakes RoundupNEW BURN PERMITS—AND FEE HIKES: New By Law 2016-110 comes into effect July 1, with two new burn permits and new fees. The Agricultural Special Burn Permit ($40 a year) allows open-air burning on a farm property for fires greater than 3 X 3 metres. The Long Term Special Burn Permit ($40) is for other properties, and for extended or multiple burns. Existing permits have new fees as follows: Regular Burn, up to one cubic metre ($10); Special Burn ($20); Agricultural Burn ($20); Annual Regular Burn ($50). IT’S TINDER DRY OUT THERE: The Fire Service has responded to four individual fires recently, caused by improper disposal of smoker’s materials. With continued hot dry weather with little rain, grass and brush can easily ignite and fires grow rapidly. Fire Chief Mark Pankhurst cautions residents not to throw burning cigarettes out your vehicle window or into


dry grass or brush. Flying lanterns are also banned in the city. ROADS CLOSED FOR MILK RUN: Several Lindsay roads will be closed from 8-10 am Sunday, July 17, for over 500 runners in the 38th Annual Lindsay 5k/10k Milk Run. The run starts and ends at the Lindsay Recreation Complex, and traffic will be affected on Mary Street West, Albert Street, Pottinger Street, Angeline Street North, Springdale Gardens, Elgin Street and Adelaide Street. For more info, visit city.kawarthalakes.on.ca/milkrun. NEW SERVICE CENTRE NUMBERS: All city Service Centres are now connected through the 705-324-9411 number for the Lindsay office. The other centres have extensions as follows: Bobcaygeon (3580); Omemee (3520); Bethany (3540, and 3544 for library); Coboconk (3515, and 3504 for library); Kirkfield (3560, and 3564 for library). Previously, each Service Centre had separate phone lines in each of the five offices. “At this time of year we have an influx of seasonal residents, so we wanted to remind everyone of the new phone numbers,” said city staff Lee Anna Thornbury. The after-hours emergency number is 877-885-7337.

Horoscopes July 15-28Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) You have the power to choose how each day will end, Aquarius—with the knowledge that you have accomplished something worthwhile, or the wish that you had done more. Life is a ball of clay—and you are the sculptor.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) You know what the wise ones say about the future? It only comes one day at a time. If you let yourself think about this, Pisces, and accept it, you can keep your mind in the present and keep it from wandering toward worry and needless fears.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Are you spending too much time in front of a screen? Fall in love with nature. David Suzuki says time spent in nature makes us happier, healthier and less stressed. Go on, Aries. You can do it.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) There are many times in life when we see someone needing help, perhaps in a public setting. But something stops us, doesn’t it? We have all been there. It doesn’t have to be that way. Today, Taurus, make a mental note to be an “upstander”—not a bystander.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) The summer months can often be a time to over-spend, Gemini. Family get-togethers, vacations, hanging out with friends. It all adds up. Maybe you can’t stick to a budget, but, at least, be wary of spending it ALL.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Comfort comes in many disguises, dear Cancer. Yes, there is bad news daily. No, life is not always sweet. Find the people and the places that provide calmness for you, and the promise that there is always hope.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) “Rest and be thankful”—William Wordsworth. Ah, the perfect thing to remember during the hurly-burly, hot and humid days of summer, Leo. Take a load off your feet, and gently remind yourself of all there is to be grateful for.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Seize the day, Virgo, because it won’t be here tomorrow. Make the best of your choices, live fully and deeply, and don’t forget to laugh—a lot.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Sometimes we are so focused on helping others, on making others feel good, we forget about ourselves, Libra. We invite you now to tell yourself how special you are. Have pride, respect and love for YOU.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Stop walking on eggshells, Scorpio. You don’t owe explanations to anyone. You don’t have to make anyone’s life easier. You are YOU, your own unique and wonderful self. If you find yourself tip-toeing around, afraid to upset the apple cart, it’s definitely time to get a new buggy and fill it up with what you want. Start STOMPING those eggshells.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) This summer is not the time to worry about the ‘what-ifs’ that will come in the fall, only too soon. Try to relax and enjoy this time with family and friends. Regular time-outs can work wonders.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Do you feel like your love life is in a bit of a rut, dear Capricorn? Well, don’t just sit there. Do something. Get out and find someone with whom you enjoy spending time, and then ... take it from there. They say friends make the best lovers.

CONGRATS TO WALLEYE TOURNEY: BOBCAYGEON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Congratulations to Bobcaygeon’s 36th annual Canada/U.S. Walleye Tournament for another highly successful event. One hundred and forty teams competed for the $84,000 in prize money the tourney raised. Eighty volunteers supported this popular fishing tournament. Organizers donated $500 to the food bank and $1,000 along with the Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce to the student breakfast program at Bobcaygeon Public School. They also bought new weigh scales to use in future tournaments. Kevin McMurray’s grade 6/7 class at BPS made five banners for this year’s Walleye Tournament. In return the tourney gave them a pizza lunch, plus milk and ice cream certificates donated by Kawartha Dairy.

CHURCH DOINGS• Anglican churches, St. James, Fenelon Falls and Christ Church, Coboconk, will give area kids a hands-on experience of reconciliation this summer

at the Good Neighbour Bible Camp—based on First Nations’ traditions. James Whetung and Patty Shaughnessy, both from Curve Lake, and Kim Muskrat of Hiawatha First Nation helped the parish develop the home-grown curriculum, and will teach during the camp. We’ll be looking at points of intersection between our Christian story and the teachings and traditions of the First Peoples, says Rev. Susan Spicer—as well as “the history of first contact and what has happened in that relationship.” But “this is camp, so the idea is to have a whole lot of fun and learn at the same time,” she adds—with drama, storytelling, crafts, games and outdoor adventures. She’s hoping the kids will take away a deep appreciation of the richness and traditions of the

First Peoples of this region, and beginning relationships with local First Nations persons. This is Anishinaabek land, the land of the First Peoples here. The Good Neighbour Bible Camp runs two one-week sessions beginning Aug. 8 and 15. Contact [email protected] or 705-887-2537.• Everyone’s invited to “make a joyful noise” again this summer on the old outdoor piano that’s back beside William Street in front of Trinity United Church, Bobcaygeon. Visitors from around the world loved this addition to the front yard of the church grounds last year—and now, a “prayer tree” has been added. Take a ribbon from the piano and write a person’s name or a situation on the ribbon and tie it to the tree as a prayer. The colourful piano will be covered with a blue tarp at night or on rainy days, and the church invites any passersby who chance upon the poor piano uncovered in the rain, to please stop and throw the tarp over it a (hint: it’s tucked in behind the piano).• Summer student Katie Knox will be hosting Sunday worship this summer at Trinity, as well as “Lemonade on the Lawn”—an all-ages story-telling session Tuesday mornings from 10:30-11:30. There’s also a children’s summer camp, themed “Peace begins with me,” mornings Aug. 22-26 for children ages 5 and up. Registration by donation with forms at the church office (www.trinityprovidence.com).

Last year’s summer student Olivia Phillips (left) joins Rev. Rodney Smith-Merkley and summer student Katie Knox at the “old pianer” that’s spending the summer in front of the church for all to play.


JULY 22 - 23 • WWW.FIDDLECONTEST.CA • AT THE BOBCAYGEON ARENA

47TH

YEAR!

STEP ’N’ FIDDLE AT CAYGEON’S ONTARIO OPENBy Joyce Bryon Back in February 1975, local farmers, a dairyman, an electrician, insurance salesman and feed-mill operator bonded together to create the Ontario Open Fiddle and Step Dance Contest. They wanted to promote and perpetuate the art of old-time fiddling and step dancing—which has its own unique Ontario style, born of a mix of mainly Irish, Scots, and French traditions. Their plan was to sponsor and promote an annual contest in the Bobcaygeon arena as a summer attraction, and to support community projects. Forty-seven years later, the ever popular Ontario Open contest returns on July 22-23—what one local restaurant calls “the busiest weekend of the year.” Judy Waymouth is our new Master of Ceremonies, and I hear she is very good. Kyle Felhaver is our House Fiddler, and Melika Lemelin is the accompanist. We’ve dedicated this year’s gathering to the memory of long-time volunteer Anne Franklin. The contests begin at 6 pm Friday evening, and starts up again at 10:30 Saturday morning. Around noon, the young children play and dance—always a crowd favourite. The finals and trophy performances begin at 6 pm on Saturday, with all the winners from Friday

evening and Saturday morning competing again for more than $8,000 in prize money. You can’t keep the contestants and their families and supporters from jamming in the park after hours. There’s nothing quite like walking through the park in the late evening, with a favourite tune like St. Anne’s Reel bouncing in the summer air. The Saturday morning jam session with local musicians on Bolton Street near the Bank of Montreal is always a crowd pleaser—and draws even more folks down to the arena for the main events. The Bobcaygeon Kinettes Club caters the event, and camping is available at the Bobcaygeon Agricultural Fairgrounds. What really makes The Open is the people, who come back year after year—in many cases families spanning three generations—to compete, to play for fun, or to cheer from the audience. Admission is $12 Friday evening, $12 Saturday morning and $15 Saturday evening. A weekend pass is $30. Thanks to all our sponsors, and especially the Bobcaygeon Agricultural Society, the Bobcaygeon Legacy CHEST Fund and the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Summer in the Kawarthas

BLUE CANOES RIDE AGAIN Kawartha Conservation’s successful shoreline outreach program is kicking off its fifth year as the Blue Canoe team heads out onto the lakes of the Kawarthas again this summer. From now til the end of August, the team will paddle their two blue canoes from dock to dock along shorelines within the City of Kawartha Lakes and the Municipality of Trent Lakes, sharing knowledge about lake health and shoreline-

restoration techniques–and steps landowners can take to improve the health of their lake. This year, KC is offering a new native-plant-distribution program to make shoreline naturalization easier for the community, with $50 worth of free plant materials to eligible shoreline property owners. Since the Blue Canoe launched in 2012, it has connected with more than 5,000 shoreline residents and cottagers. The team has advised landowners on everything from preventing shoreline erosion to managing aquatic plants, minimizing blue-green algae outbreaks, septic system maintenance, deterring Canada geese, and reducing E.coli close to shore. This summer, the team hopes to reach many more community members, and to follow up with landowners they’ve visited in the past. Landowners can also host a “Dock Talk,” bringing the Blue Canoe team to meet with a group of cottage neighbours for a community discussion. For the Blue Canoe schedule, visit www.KawarthaConservation.com/BlueCanoe.

WORLD’S BIGGEST KNICKERS REVEALED

Who makes their wife a present of the world’s biggest pair of knickers . . . panties . . . bloomers . . . briefs . . . or whatever you want to call them? Well, apparently James Barrett, the artistic producer at Bobcaygeon’s Globus Theatre, does. With a little help from theatre patrons, both local and further afield. “I wanted to do something really special to celebrate the return to Bobcaygeon of Sarah Quick’s play, “Knickers: A ‘brief” comedy,” this summer, says James, blushing slightly at the sheer audacity of his bright idea. Sarah is James’ wife and co-conspirator at Globus—and more specifically, its artistic director and an indefatigable playwright/actor/entrepreneur. James describes Knickers as “a hilarious and heart-warming tale of four women who come up with a tourism initiative to save their small Ontario town after its pulp and paper factory shuts.” Sarah wrote it, and Globus produced its world premiere in Bobcaygeon, where it really resonated in this sometimes economically challenged tourist region. It’s one of Globus” most popular productions.

Knickers has since been published by Playscripts in New York and been mounted in theatres across Canada, the United States and even New Zealand. But creating the world’s largest pair of knickers turned out to be an even larger project than James had counted on before discovering a current world record actually exists—and those briefs are 65 X 39 feet. That’s the size he has to beat. So, with a sea of blue material donated by Toronto patrons, Lynn and Doug Ruggles through their fabric company, Triden, and with donated expert cutting and sewing direction and staff from local Debbie Poole’s Lakeside Sewing, the project is underway. Look for the giant bloomers to be on display (James is still trying to figure out how to show them off to best advantage) when Knickers gets its triumphant return to Bobcaygeon this summer from Wednesday, July 27 to Saturday, Aug. 6. You can book your tickets, including for dinner before the show, by calling the box office at 705-738-2037.

FENELON SHINESAT CAR SHOW

Fenelon Falls will be the place to see all manner of cars, trucks, bikes and snow machines at the 34th annual Fenelon Show and Shine and Flea Market, July 30-31. The Fenelon Fairgrounds will be filled with those who like to build ‘em, drive ‘em or just look at ‘em. The event attracts “gearheads” and car enthusiasts from across the province. The FF Lions Club runs the Show and Shine and Flea Market, with volunteer support provided by the Rotary Club and the Boy Scouts. There’s a Burnout Competition on Saturday, and a REV competition on Sunday, hosted by the Runaways Car Club. Friday evening features an Outdoor Family Movie Night, and on Saturday night there’s an Adult Video Dance. Food vendors will be onsite, and of course, there’s the village itself for other eating and shopping options. You can camp at the fairgrounds or find accommodation to suit throughout the area. Visit fenelonshow.ca for more info.

Globus artistic producer James Barrett clutches the corner of a vast sea of blue fabric destined to be turned into the world’s largest pair of knickers. True story.


After nine years of working in other people’s hair-styling establishments and salons, Deanna Allison had “seen what worked and what didn’t work.” And she’d had enough, she says, of being told to do things she didn’t always think were in her clients’ best interests. “I wanted to put customers’ needs first, instead of just taking the quick and easy route. I wanted to do things my way.” That’s why Deanna, who has lived in the Kawartha Lakes since she was three, decided to open a spa and hair salon in her own home—at 769 Kenstone Beach Rd. where it meets CKL Road 24. With Deanna as the sole proprietor and only staff person at the Polished Day Spa and Salon, intimate, personalized service is guaranteed. “I enjoy helping people feel

better about themselves and about their day,” she says. She offers the full monty of spa services: manicures (with unpasteurized honey); pedicures (featuring her own home-made scrubs); facials; full-body waxing; shellac nails; eyebrow and eyelash tinting. Plus everything you’ll need or want in hair styling: washes; cuts, sets; colours; perms. Deanna’s Polished Day Spa and Salon has been up and running since last November, but she is planning a grand opening for Saturday, July 16. Drop in to say hello to Deanna and get a free hand massage. The first 20 people will get 10 percent off their next service, she says, plus there’ll be refreshments and a draw. “When you put yourself in my hands,” promises Deanna, “you’ll discover it’s your turn to shine.”

LOCAL LAD WANTS TO GO FAST ON TWO WHEELS

By Glenna Burns Eighteen-year-old soon-to-be IE Weldon grad Josh Thomas knows what he wants to do with his future. He wants to be a professional motorcycle racer and from all the signs so far he could get his wish. “I’ve known since I was four years old that I loved motorcycles,” says Josh, who has racing in his genes. Grandfather Reinhold Thomas was German Grass Track Side Car Champion in the 1960s, and dad Erich Thomas—Josh’s mechanic and crew chief—races Moto Guzzi bikes in his spare time. The “first time I ever sat on a motorcycle at a bike show, I dropped it,” admits Josh, a Bobcaygeon

native. Not a stellar start, but since then he’s been racking up racing credentials on his Suzuki SV 650. The 165-pound, 6-foot-4-inch rider has competed at Regional Associates Canada events in places like Grand Bend and Shannonville, and with the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association in the States. This July he races in New Jersey. Josh means business on the track. Since 2013, when he was 15, he has finished in the top five in every race, with second and third place finishes in recent big races, including third in the Regional Championship. Next year and 2018 will be important for Josh’s career. If he places third or higher in the Amateur Nationals he can move on to the professional ranks. Motorcycle racing is not inexpensive; costs for fuel, equipment, entry fees and travel all add up. Tires alone are $350 a set and Josh can go through two sets in a race To offset these costs as an amateur, Josh has managed to get discounts on $1,000 suits and gloves from a German company. But he needs individual and business sponsors to take him to the next level—and will happily display logos on his bike, gear and trailer. Here’s hoping this newly minted grad can reach his dream of professional racing, and someday can say his hometown of Kawartha Lakes helped him get there.

HERITAGE HOMES—A LOVE STORYBy Max Miller, publisher I live on a beautiful street. Every morning and evening as I drive along it, the variety of homes piques

my interest. There are small ones, large, old, new, traditional and contemporary. Most seem well loved. A few weeks ago a fence went up around one of my favourites—a stately, blonde-brick century home, with many windows and a graceful wrap-around porch that spoke of a time gone by. Often as I drove by, I would imagine the interior layout. Did the staircase start in the front foyer? Did the kitchen still have a butler’s pantry? How many children gathered round the Christmas tree in the front parlour? I hoped the fence signaled the beginning of a stunning and historic restoration.

Instead, bulldozers came in and flattened it to a pile of rubble, a gaping hole with a lonely tree leaning drunkenly into the street. I’m all for personal autonomy, but this was history. So I made a few enquiries. A demolition permit is only a 10-day wait, and none of the neighbours have to be informed—unless, the house is listed on the city’s Heritage Registry or as “of potential heritage interest.” So how does a house get designated and included in the Heritage Registry? Someone has to tell Heritage Victoria (the city’s municipal heritage committee) about their home and ask to have it designated. Or council can add it to a list of “properties of potential heritage interest,” which under the Ontario Heritage Act, at least protects them from demolition until they can be assessed for designation. If you have a beautiful old home that you feel should be saved for future generations, please get it designated or entered on the list. As for me, if you see me walking the streets taking pictures of an old-fashioned home from a by-gone era, just think of me as one the town’s slightly eccentric preservers of history.

RIDE FOR DADTO FIGHT

PROSTATE CANCER Heather Jackson, co-owner with husband Glenn of Fenelon Falls Marina, is sponsoring another “Telus Pleasurecraft Ride for Dad” this July 24—to raise money and awareness in the fight against prostate cancer. “All of us have men in our lives,” she says, “who could be diagnosed and cured if they took the time to be checked on a regular basis.” Last year’s event raised over $5,000, says Heather. All funds raised are used in the community to increase awareness and support research towards a cure for prostate cancer. Heather spent many hours in the Cancer Treatment Centre in 2015, as she accompanied her mother through a losing battle with lung cancer. She saw people of all ages and from all walks of life undergoing chemo and radiation treatment. “I’m determined to do my part to help find a cure for as many cancers as possible,” she says. “There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t miss my mom and dad (who died in 2015). I’m running this event to honour their memory.” The ride—open to boats of any size and type—starts with a scavenger hunt at Fenelon Falls Marina on Cameron Lake. Riders can either

continue on Cameron Lake (great for kids), or lock up into Balsam Lake or down into Sturgeon. Come back for the 4-pm barbecue catered by the marina restaurant—That Place on Cameron—with draws and raffles for donated prizes. “It’s a great day for family and friends to make memories while supporting a truly worthwhile cause,” says Heather. “If my small contribution could save one man’s life then it’s a success, because I know how important all the men in my life are to me.” For more info email [email protected]. Or donate by visiting www.ridefordad.ca. Select “Fenelon Falls” from the “Watercraft” drop-down menu.

Have you

heard BOB

lately? BOB

listened to you!


Down a road that’s calm and peaceful,Guided by God’s loving hand,You have gone upon a journey

To a distant, brighter land,And although my heart is heavy

The sorrow I still bear,It helps to bring me comfort,Knowing you are happy there,

I “awake” and hear you call my nameAs you have many times before

I “look” around but you’re not thereIt’s not the same anymore,

The many years we shared together,Your mom and my mom and dad

When your call came eleven years agoI was left so “lonely and very sad”If I could have one lifetime wish,One dream that could come true,

I’d pray to “God” with all my heartFor yesterday and “all of you”

I said it before, “Bev”And I will say it again,

When I married you, “love”I had all the “wealth” in the world

God Bless you “sweetheart”.You will always be my “Special Angel”

And “our parents”, too.Love always and forever,

Your loving husband, Bill.

We were married on my birthdayMay 19th - 1956.Sixty Years Ago.

MINAAJIM:GOOD STORIES

FROM CURVE LAKE FIRST NATION

Eagle Eyes and Bat Ears As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka Remember the 1923 Williams Treaty and how it kept us from living off the land? There was not much money to go around back then. We HAD to live off the land to survive. When the government told us we couldn’t hunt deer except for two weeks in a year—and that we could not fish in winter at all—it created a situation in which we were in need of food to feed our families. We had to go out and get it however we could. We had to leave the deer alone because they were harder to get as they were monitored so carefully by the game wardens (now called conservation officers), especially when the settlers started arriving and they needed sustenance. So we had to go out and get fish. We need fish. It is a staple of ours. We are the MICHI SAAGIIG, or MISSISSAUGA Peoples, we are “the People of the Big River Mouths.” I belong to the Pike Clan. Fish are part of who we are. They are a healthy and nutritious food and have been part of our culture for thousands of years. We could not quit fishing. Some of us continued to take fish when we were told not to. So the government kept a couple of game wardens near the First Nation, and we had to be creative in order to eat and feed our families. I had a fishing partner by the name of Norman who had eyes like an eagle and ears like a bat. I liked having him with me especially in times when we were being stalked by a game warden. I remember one time we were fishing on GIZHIGO (Up in the sky) Island at Gannon’s Narrows and Norman said to me: “I can hear somebody getting in a boat at the causeway. I think it’s a canoe. And they are canoeing our way.” That was like one km away. I could hear nothing and continued to fish. Norman said: “He’s coming closer. We have to get out of here.” I still couldn’t hear anything. But Norman could. So we pulled up next to the island in the reeds and mucky shore and hid in there. It was dark by then, and as we sat there sure enough along came a silhouette. It slid by about 20 feet from us in a kayak. We learned later that the conservation officer thought he would be able to catch us better by using a kayak at night to sneak up on us. Many thanks to Norman. GCHI MIIGWECH. I miss him. He passed away a while ago. He was also an amazing artist . . . but that is another story.


Health & Wellness

EASY DOES IT!There is little question that hearing aids used to treat age-related hearing loss help hearing-impaired seniors hear their conversation partners better. Seniors fitted with hearing aids also have less risk of depression and dementia. As welcome as these benefits might be, those fitted with hearing aids for the first time sometimes stop using them. This problem of discontinued use largely stems from the reintroduction of ambient noises such as background conversation and traffic noise to which new users of hearing aids are unaccustomed. With this in mind, hearing specialists recommend that new users get used to their instruments gradually. Instead of wearing their instruments all day, it may be better to start a few hours at a time. New technology also allows the specialist to gradually increase the hearing aids to meet the hearing loss over time, a bit like slowly turning up the volume. If you are new to hearing aids, it may take a few weeks before you are completely comfortable with them and can take full advantage to their benefits. If you have questions or concerns about your progress, be sure to call your hearing specialist for help. Hearing aids often need to be adjusted several times during the trial period. To schedule an appointment, please call us. We are here to help. Here you’ll find a wide variety of hearing aids in many colors, shapes, and sizes.P.S. Age-related hearing loss, “presbycusis,” makes it particularly difficult to hear higher frequencies (at which women and children tend to speak).

ENJOY THE SUMMER—BUT TAKE HEAT PRECAUTIONS

Hot summer weather is wonderful at the beach or cottage. But we northern Canadians just aren’t used to it. So we have to be careful not to overdo it. In high temperatures and humidity, your body may not be able to cool properly which can lead to heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. “The elderly, very young and people with chronic illnesses are at higher risk of heat-related illness,” says Keith Kirkpatrick, chief of Paramedic Services for Kawartha Lakes. “However, even healthy people can be affected if they participate in strenuous activities and do not take precautions.” If you can’t get into the lake or river—or a cool bath—to cool off, then make sure you: • Drink plenty of fluids. • Never leave any person or pet in a parked

vehicle.• Seek out cool or air-conditioned spaces, such as

shopping malls, arenas or other public areas to escape the heat.

Heat exhaustion is characterized by slightly elevated body temperature, cool, clammy pale skin, and sweating (sometimes heavily). If you have these symptoms, move into the shade or an air-conditioned space, loosen or remove clothing as appropriate, and drink cool water or non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated beverages like sports drinks to help restore your electrolyte balance. If your attempts to decrease body temperature fail, or if you experience chest or abdominal pain, or persistent vomiting so you can’t keep down fluids,

you should seek emergency treatment or call 911. You should also seek emergency treatment if you develop any of the symptoms of heat stroke, a much more severe, even emergency, situation where the body loses its ability to cool itself. Symptoms include: very high body temperature, usually over 40 degrees Celsius; no sweating; and hot, dry, red skin. For more tips on how to stay safe in the heat, visit the Paramedic Services section on the CKL website or visit the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit website www.hkpr.on.ca.

THE SKINNY ON FATPArt 2

By Benjamin Stone The most damaging fats are the innocent sounding ones (like vegetable oils), which are often found in processed and fried foods as well as many restaurant meals. These fats are toxic to cells and promote disease-inducing inflammation and congestion at the cellular level. They also tell your body to hang on to toxic fat stores. Bad fats include man-made hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils like canola, corn and soybean, margarine spread, and trans fats These fats extend the shelf life of processed “foods” (ie., substances the body does not recognize as fuel). Due to their low-cost, they have largely replaced other good fats. Most bad fats are sensitive to heat and light, and denature easily. They are likely already rancid by the time you eat them. Unfortunately, you are also consuming genetically modified organisms (GMOs) when ingesting these fats, which we can discuss in another article. The half-life of trans fats, found in foods like French fries, is 51 days, by which time only half the negative effects have been processed by the body. Another 51 days (102 days total) are required to remove 75 percent of this toxic fat from your system.

We all want our cars to run well and efficiently and maintain a long life, so we change our oil. It’s that simple for your body too. Remove the bad fats from your diet and replace them with good fats. Good health starts with the cell. Essentially, good fats heal the cellular membrane (bad fats inflame it) that holds the cell’s intelligence. This improves hormone receptors on the cells, which send signals to your brain to burn fat for energy. Eating plenty of good fat is, therefore, very effective in treating hormone-related conditions like weight-loss resistance. You must heal the cell in order to lose weight and keep it off. Hormone imbalances, obesity, and countless “unexplainable” diseases can be guided in the right direction through regeneration of the cell membrane. How again? By eating good fats. There are two vilified fats in our culture that are vital to healing the membrane: saturated fat and cholesterol. Saturated fat and cholesterol are required to make vitamin D and hormones, to support brain function, and to produce and restore cell membranes of which they are a part. When consumed from the right sources, these two unique fats reduce and regulate inflammation, balance hormones to encourage weight-loss, and serve as ideal brain food to keep your body in top performance mode.

I am not saying to go running to a pan of bacon and wolf it down. The source of saturated fat and cholesterol will affect whether it increases or decreases cellular inflammation. Since animals store toxins in their fat cells, eating products from healthy animals, if you are a meat eater, is imperative, while eating those from sick, factory-farmed animals must be avoided. Good fats from healthy animals include: meats from 100 percent grass-fed and pastured animals, eggs (including yolks), and full-fat, raw, cultured dairy (if tolerated of course). Plant sources—for my vegan friends—include raw nuts and seeds, coconut oil, olive oil and MCT (Medium Chain Triglyceride) oil. So carefully consider the source of your foods and fats, knowing quality is fundamental to looking and feeling your best. Eat more high-quality saturated fat and cholesterol as part of your health-boosting strategy and weight-loss plan. In the next article we’ll talk about why good fat helps us lose weight, and how to become a fat burner.

true, how every day I’m missing you.

Life itself is something to cherish which is why

I stew, as I loved and cherish the life I had

with you.Through all my tiny tears, I talk with you

daily, mostly at night as I look way, way up high till I find the brightest star then I know I’m

talking to you.As you have always been

my star Dad, which I always look up to, until they took you away, way up high, too high for me

to hug.But not too high for me to still blow you kisses

and tell you how much I love you.

In one way I’m jealous as I have lost the best Dad ever and heaven

has gained one amazing man.

Every single day I count my lucky stars, for I

was the luckiest girl in the world because God granted you to be my Dad, which is the best memory I will carry for

the rest of my life.Sending loads and loads of love way up high to

It’s Easy Being GreenFENELON BEACH

By Julia Taylor Last Sunday was a scorcher. We packed up the kids in the bike trailer (or their chariot as I call it) and headed to the Fenelon beach. Even though the beach was packed (as expected) there were

lots of shady areas to catch the breeze, and lots of room to play in the sand or water. It was perfect . . . except . . . There was goose poo all over the dock. All of the kids did well to avoid it and no one seemed to mind. But I thought to myself, if this was my place, and I had the tools I would clean it up. Wait a minute . . . It is my place. Well it is OUR place. OUR dock on OUR beautiful lakefront property, it is OUR shared community space. And as it turns out, there is a group of people who kindly pick up goose poop regularly at the Fenelon Beach. I signed up to help out and got the tour of the shed and learned the tricks of the trade. Two days later I came with my kids and we picked up a whole bathroom-garbage-can sized pail. Can you imagine what that beach would look like if no one was picking it up? Five to 10 lbs of goose poo a day over a few months. So next time I’m at the beach and I don’t want to step in goose dung, I can just pick it up. And if there’s none there, I can be thankful for the person who came and picked it up before me. Keeping goose poo off of our beaches keeps it out of the water (resulting in less contamination and beach closures)—and off our feet. They’re still looking for volunteers.
