Paper CutsWhat To Do

When I hear somebody say they’re bored, it strikes me as odd. Long before the invention of

computers and smart phones, a mentor of mine said, “Only boring people get bored.” If you enjoy your own company, it’s impossible to be bored. Even if you’re lousy company, you always have options: read a book, write a letter, play a mind-challenging game. Create. Explore. Research. Learn. You can build something, or paint something; cook or bake and give it away. Initiate a conversation. Do a favour. Enjoy a walk and discover the things you rarely notice. We’ve talked about all of this. None of these options get overused or worn out. Last week, people in numerous regions endured power outages and (yet another) snow day. As I read a Facebook newsfeed after the fact, I was fascinated by posts by folks complaining of hours spent with “nothing to do.” These remarks appeared right along with comments from friends like Julie. She praised her children. Her post: “My kids are awesome! 7 hours without

power, and they got along, played together and used their imaginations to make the most of their day.” I know Julie and what she invests in her kids. Her investment is the time, guidance and development of the life tools they’ll use to grow into competent, open-minded people. They’re learning what it means to take the initiative in positive ways. Youth who are taught early on that it’s up to them to think for themselves are more likely to become the adults who instigate the actions that are thoughtful, responsible and right. This is how we cultivate intelligent and productive citizens. Our world desperately needs individuals who possess a clear sense of identity and the kind of social conscience that translates into action and influence. I write this in the wake of the unspeakable evil that hit the Boston Marathon. Again, we’re enveloped in sadness and horror. Yet, it is one more powerful reminder to rediscover hope, promise and a fundamental belief in the goodness of humanity. Now, more than ever, it’s imperative we sharpen our problem-solving skills and reinforce the meaning of perseverance. Ours is a world that will never be easy, safe – or boring.

Ask about our breakfast club

To the EditorWe would like to commend Fred and Heather Strang for closing the ValuMart on the statutory holiday of Good Friday as well as on the optional day of Easter Sunday. In our view this seems to reflect a caring for the well-being of their employees, and their families, by allowing them the time off to rest and to gather together over a festive meal. Statutory holidays are disappearing for retail workers who are routinely denied the time and

opportunity to share holidays with friends and family, unlike most other workers. It appears to us that the drive to make money has increasingly trumped the deeper values of family, celebration and community. We would like to encourage people to take the time to shop before a holiday (the way we used to!) and avoid shopping on statutory holidays. And if one has run out of that important staple – that’s what convenience stores are for. Convenience. Can we not, as a community, take a few days a year to engage in activities not concerned with commerce, money-making, consumption and profit margins? A few days a year set aside to recall ourselves to the simple pleasures of living?Gretchen Mehegan, Pascale GarrettBobcaygeon

Speak Out, Don’t Bottom OutI live on Dunn Street and it is the busiest street in Bobcaygeon. There is Settlers’ Village, the playground, the school, the cemetery, and so much traffic. School buses, tandem trucks, cars – all of them drive too fast for the safety of the people using the area. When I go out on my scooter, it bottoms out on the sidewalk so I am forced to use the road. There are elderly people who walk their dogs, and they must use the road, too, sometimes at 7 or 8 o’clock in the evening. It’s worse when there is snow and the sidewalks are too dangerous to walk on. The school students have to walk on the road, too. It is dangerous. I contacted our MPP twice, and he did come and do a walk-about but he didn’t contact me after. I have since called again but haven’t had a response. The sidewalks are dangerous to use, the roads have potholes and the traffic is too fast for this busy street. We need to start a petition. Fix it!Bonnie Searle, Bobcaygeon

Proposed Kennel BylawThe Council Chambers were ‘standing room only’ on the main floor of the chamber, all there to show their displeasure over the Proposed Kennel Licence Bylaw. And well they should. No less than four Debutants (John Bell, Barbara Adrian, Linda Kuypers and Carl Willis) addressed Council, all citing the vagueness and ambiguity of the aforementioned draft. Council quite rightly voted to

defer any decision until Staff review and take into consideration the concerns of kennel owners. What I find remarkable is that this document has already been modified apparently as the result of ‘public input’ and yet still does not meet the basic requirements necessary to be enacted. As the first debutant John Bell, of the Ontario Sporting Dog Association stated, “It’s a complete disaster”. I wonder how it got to the floor for Council’s decision in its present form. Didn’t anyone other than John Paul Newman, Sr. Licensing Officer, vet it?

Kawartha Lakes Health CareA request for funds has been received from the KLHCI from the thus far successful Doctor Recruitment drive in the amount of $23,500. This is in line with the agreement between the City and the KLHCI.

Performance Management SystemBack on February 06, 2013 at a Special Council Meeting, moved by Councillor Elmslie, seconded by Councillor Dunn, the CAO Mark Fisher was directed to investigate a performance management program for Staff. On April 09, Mark Fisher the CAO recommended adoption by Council of a performance management system in the form of a Balanced Score Card and Lean Six Sigma. Huh? Fisher says that an internal team had examined a number of performance models and worked collectively to bring this system before Council for its approval. Fisher believes that the new system is a valued proposition. In a recorded vote Council approved a transfer from the Cost Containment Reserve in the amount of $362,150 to finance this project.

Those opposed to this initiative, Councillors Villemaire and James, cited their concern that it seemed that the CAO’s recommendation was a single source offer and would like to see other options. I am not defending the CAO but he did cite in his report that “An internal team has examined performance model(s)”. Have a little faith Councillors. One other opponent, Glenn Campbell, suggested that he could not support the selection of this particular company since in their proposal they “couldn’t spell”. I have to agree that if a proposal of this magnitude contains spelling errors it should give one cause for reflection. One of the statements in the report by the CAO is that, “typical success outcomes include a unified sense of mission, a greater identification with the organization and a 5:1 ratio of return on investment on or about the first year of implementation.” Really? By my calculation that would be a saving of $1,810,750. We will see. Water Rate IncreaseThe Water and Sewer User Rate By-Law will be adopted with the increased rates stipulated therein to be in place as of May 1, 2013, which equate to an approximate 3.0% combined water and wastewater rate increase over 2012 rates. As of December 31, 2012, the outstanding Water and Wastewater debt balance was $32.5M. This figure is projected to increase to just over $35M by the end of 2013. According to one Councillor, we currently have the third highest water rate in Ontario. The City must continue to press senior levels of government for support. One can only hope.

SPRING MESSAGESpring is finally here and on April 21, Settlers’ Village will host the annual Earth Day Event. I have to thank John Bick, Al Ingram, Richard Feddy, Liz Gilmour and Gail Thomassen for pitching in to make this celebration even bigger and better. It is the perfect setting to hold this festival. Bobcaygeon has blossomed due to the hard work of volunteers like these, making Bobcaygeon one of the nicest places to live or visit! Our Village has some of the most committed volunteers in the City of Kawartha Lakes but we need new volunteers to come out and help these wonderful folks make our Village even better. Many organizations such as the Horticultural Society, Settlers’ Village, Environmental Action Bobcaygeon, The Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce, The Bobcaygeon Farmers’ Market, Kinettes, Lions, the Royal Canadian Legion, The Boyd Museum, The Bobcaygeon Senior’s Centre, Bobcaygeon Music Council, Bobcaygeon Helps Food Bank and others could use help from new volunteers. Spring is the perfect time to get involved. If you have a few hours to spare, please step up to the plate and help make Bobcaygeon shine even brighter! Hey, you might have some fun! Pat Warren

BOBCAYGEON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Attracting travellers and their disposable incomes and even polishing a region’s image to entice new businesses and new permanent residents has become a hotly-contested, province-wide, public-civic joint exercise. In our region, the program’s name is Discover Play & Stay in the Trent-Severn Waterway (DPS), with the Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce a willing and active participant. As explained by city Economic Development Department Tourism Development Officer Laurie Bell at the Chamber’s recent Before 9/After 6 session, our region encompasses the city of Kawartha Lakes, which is presently the lead player amongst Peterborough and Northumberland counties, the federal Regional

Tourism Office 8 (RTO8) and Parks Canada, other municipalities and various relevant groups. The “vendors” – business, accommodations, restaurant and marina owners and historic site and park operators and waterway lockmasters – are key to its success. Their roles begin with having their business descriptions, hopefully with photos, as micro-sites on the www.discoverplaystay.ca website. The link to their own websites will increase the search engine optimization and assist visitors in finding their enterprises online. Directly participating means having one or more drop-boxes on their premises to collect the coupons provided to clients and customers, periodically remitting the visitor-signed coupons to a central office

INSIGHTSLife Within Our Community

As I look down the streets of Fenelon, I get excited with the prospect of spring finally arriving, renovations being done, new businesses moving in, changes being made, playgrounds coming together, new ideas being tested. As is true in any community, change requires hard work, people working together, people trying new things and thinking outside of the box, people taking a chance, attending meetings and being a part of something bigger than them. We all have ideas about what should be done or what we would do. What is exciting is when new faces come to meetings and mix with people who have been down this road before; mothers sitting at a ball park wondering why there isn’t a playground in their area and coming up with fabulous, fun ideas to raise money to make things happen, or community clubs, groups and committees gathering to create and run a successful event. As families, attending and donating time to events can involve us. Hockey teams can participate in cleaning up their town. As individuals, we can attend open meetings and have our say – or we can simply say thank you to the countless hours that these volunteers spend creating, preparing and initiating these things that make our community great. Get involved. When we get involved, amazing things can happen.By Caroline Fenelius-CarpenterCaroline is the mom of young kids, has aging parents and works in long-term care. As a volunteer, she believes that if we work together, we can still create great things.

The terms “financial planner” and “financial advisor” are used broadly; in fact, anyone can call himself or herself a “financial planner” or “advisor.” What sets some apart are their education and training, and their qualifications. For ease of reading, this section uses the term “advisor” to mean a financial professional with training and expertise that is recognized within the financial sector. Choosing the right advisor depends on the kind of help you are looking for. Different advisors offer different products and services, and their professional designations can provide an indication of their qualifications and expertise. What’s important is that you’re confident your advisor has the experience and expertise necessary to help you reach your financial goals.

Don’t be afraid to meet with several potential advisors before choosing one. To make the most of your meeting, draw up a list of questions you want to ask. Be sure to take detailed notes. One main factor to consider: Is the advisor registered? By law, sellers of mutual funds, stocks and bonds must complete training and be registered with a provincial or territorial regulator. You can check that the advisor or firm you are considering is registered, and you can find out what kind of registration they hold. Simply visit the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) website and use the National Registrant Search. It includes the names of all individuals and firms registered in Canada, with the exception of those registered with the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC). To find out whether an individual or firm is registered in Ontario, use the OSC’s Check registration resource.Source: Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, www.fcac-acfc.gc.ca

YOUR AD HERE


Aries (March 21 to April 20) Career wise, Aries, you always seem to strive for the top. This is a result of your Aries’ character – a born leader who loves to take charge. However, at times, you may seem domineering. But your genuineness and receptiveness to new ideas will win over your co-workers time and again. Don’t falter!

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) As a Taurus, you love beauty, music and art and often have a talent for these. Why not put this to work for you, and maybe gain a little extra income? You never know – you could be the next da Vinci or Rembrandt. Well, let’s not get carried away! But … don’t be afraid of where your imagination can lead you.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) It is not how others see you, but how you see yourself that is important. When you look in the mirror, Gemini, do you inspect yourself through the eyes of others? We hope not! Live your life the way you, and only you, want to.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Our advice during this phase is to slow down, Cancer. The waning crescent moon May 2 to 3, at the end of this period, glows with peacefulness and connects us to a simpler, less frantic time. Have you read the book, In Praise of Slow, by Carl Honore? Now might be the time –we recommend it.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Time to spread those wings, Leo! During April, Leo rules over the southeast sky. Delight in the Lyrids meteor shower in the northeast April 20 to 22 and watch the full moon rise on the 25th. Take in the beauty of the world and all it has to offer.

virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) You don’t have to follow the crowd – and you shouldn’t, especially when you know it’s wrong. Rather, show them you are your own person and you will gain their respect. There is nothing wrong with being different in this fine world of ours!

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) The spring new moon (April 17) invited you, dear Libra, to experience its freshness – and a cleansing and purification in anticipation of the opportunities awaiting you. Heal and be healed. (This moon is called the pink moon after the moss pink herb, or wild ground phlox, one of the earliest flowers of spring.)

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) It’s spring! Time to rejoice in the newness of the earth! What better way than to attend Earth Day activities April 21 at Kawartha Settlers’ Village in Bobcaygeon? Celebrate the planet and help yourself feel good, too. Go green!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Your originality and artistic gifts have been well documented. Now sit back and enjoy the compliments of others. Take pride in what you have accomplished, and keep on truckin’.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Chase that worry worm away, once and for all, Capricorn! You deserve better. You deserve to live your life in peace. Remember: The things that make us fume and fret are the things that haven’t happened yet!

Aquarius (Jan.21 to Feb. 19) “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved,” Helen Keller. Take comfort in these words, dear Aquarius, for your soul may be tried during this time. Never give up!

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Before blabbing rumours around, please find out the truth. If not, you may end up red-faced and feeling foolish. It is always a good idea to remember that someone is innocent until proven guilty.

Orecchiette with Zucchini and Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce Orecchiette means ‘little ears’ in Italian. Personally, I think they look more like little bowls. Either way, it’s a wonderful shape for picking up this fuss-free sauce.

1 500 gram package dried Orecchiette3 pints cherry tomatoes2 zucchini, halved and sliced into half moons 3 shallots, diced2 cloves garlic, diced3 cups vegetable stock2 tablespoons balsamic vinegarpinch sugar1 bunch basil, chopped1/4 cup finely grated Romano cheese2 tablespoons butterolive oilsalt/fresh pepper

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss tomatoes with salt, fresh pepper and enough olive oil to coat. Place in a baking dish and roast 30 to 35 minutes until tomatoes begin to burst and caramelize. Remove from oven and set aside. 2. While tomatoes are roasting, sauté zucchini in 1 tablespoon olive oil until tender and slightly brown. Set aside. 3. Place roasted tomatoes in a blender along with vegetable stock, balsamic vinegar, pinch sugar, salt/pepper. Pulse until just combined. 4. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic – continue cooking another minute or two until tender. Add tomato mixture and bring to simmer, drop the heat down to low and let it reduce until thickened – about 15 minutes. 5. While sauce is reducing, cook Orecchiette in a large pot of boiling salted water – about 10 minutes until just al dente. 6. Drain pasta reserving a bit of the pasta water. Toss pasta with zucchini and tomato sauce. If it looks dry add a bit of the pasta water. Grate in cheese and add chopped basil. Cook over low heat until just combined – 1 to 2 minutes. 7. Serve garnished with a bit more grated cheese and chopped basil.

Earth DayKawartha Settlers’ Village

Kawartha Settlers’ Village is pleased to host “Enviro Drums,” a percussion group from Toronto. They will perform at our Earth Day Celebrations on Sunday April 21, starting at l:30 pm. This dynamic group performed at Langton Public School last year. They use plastic recycle bins, water jugs and bottles, balls, metal tools, wooden objects and more, which are played along with background music. They are an exciting, energetic group eager to pass on the message of recycling. For more information, go to [email protected] We invite children to make their own recycled instrument and bring it along and join in with the band. There will be a prize for the most creative,

interesting and best sounding instrument. Look around your home to see what you can find in your recycle box to make an instrument. Boxes, milk cartons and jugs, plastic bottles, tin cans, paper towel rolls, jars, aluminum pie plates. You can fill any of these containers with macaroni, rice, beans or seeds to make a shaker. Bring wooden spoons or kitchen utensils to play your recycled drums.Submitted by Liz Gilmour

rOOtS & raMBLINGSEarth Day is upon us this weekend. That should ignite an urge to reconnect with the great outdoors. Now is the time to help with a roadside cleanup, plant a tree, or go for a hike. We will be at Settlers’ Village this Sunday afternoon, helping children to assemble birdhouses and transplant seedlings. We look forward to observing them beating on their homemade recycled instruments which they are invited to bring to accompany the ENVIRO DRUM Group. It will soon be time to awaken the gardens as well as our appetites for local fresh food. The end of April is an ideal time for planting peas, spinach and radish. If you are thinking this year of growing some food plants but have limited space, consider containers. Not only are they suitable for tomatoes,

peppers, and strawberries, but squash, climbing beans and potatoes can be grown this way. I have ordered some container blueberries this year. Some gardeners insert colourful and highly-textured vegetables in their flower beds. Blue Kale, blood–leafed Beets, rainbow Swiss Chard and the many types of vibrant salad greens add interest, if and when the posies take a break. Landscaping with Edibles is the topic of our Thursday, April 18 meeting at 7 pm. Do not forget the bountiful array of wild foods which Mother Nature provides throughout the season. For eons, the First Peoples of the Kawarthas supplemented their fish and game diet with plants from the forest and marshes. The Maple Syrup season is at an end. But there is still time to harvest Springtime Leeks and Fiddleheads, and in May look for the delicious Morel Mushroom. Then the berry season begins and lasts until August.

Want a Fantastic Garden?

What Should a Beginner Grow?When you are starting, it’s nice to grow just a little bit of something that’s fast, easy, and at its best when fresh-picked. A good way to start is a small garden bed or container for salads. A square 3x3 feet or a half-barrel can give you many tasty salads if you keep picking the outside leaves. Give each little plant its own space and enough water, and success with lettuce will teach and inspire you. You might want to add some spinach (if it is still cool) or some chard for cooking greens. They are easy to grow, you can cut them over and over, and the chard comes in a rainbow of colours. To eliminate all worry about what varieties to plant when, you can get the Spring Salad Collection, with 4 different colors and types of lettuce, an herb, and an edible flower all selected for spring planting. To keep it really simple, you can buy a few tomato plants from a local nursery once the weather is warm, rather than trying to grow them from seed this year. Submitted by Kawartha Hydroponics

SPrING CLEaNyOur BODy, tOO

Spring can be a perfect time to cleanse the body. Forget the detox pills or kits to do it – your body can detoxify quite easily if you give it the right food!

1 Beetroot: Full of vitamins B3, B6, C and beta-carotene, and a valuable source of iron, magnesium, calcium and zinc – all necessary to promote optimal detoxification and elimination. Beets also support optimal gallbladder and liver health, organs that are vital for breaking down and removing toxins.

2 Lemons: Stimulates the production of enzymes and helps to convert toxins into a water-soluble form that can be easily excreted from the body. Drinking warm-lemon water in the morning will help to alkalize the blood and balance out the acidity of the foods we’ve consumed.

3 Broccoli Sprouts: Contain a compound called Sulforaphane which engages the liver to pump up detoxification process in the body and protects the cells from the damage of oxidization, which is why Sulforaphane has anti-cancer qualities.

4 Chia: High in omega-3, calcium, and fiber, Chia helps to reduce inflammation in the body and since soaked Chia is gelatinous it helps to soak up toxins in the bowel and release them in waste.

Need more information on how food can help you cleanse your body? Contact Melissa Christoffersen, RNCP at Live.Naturally. at 59 William Street, Bobcaygeon.

Why ChOOSEa MEDI-PEDI?

From Dr. Oz and mainstream news features to social media, consumers are being made increasingly aware of the risks of spa pedicures. Spa aesthetic services are not regulated, which can be problematic.


One concern is that potentially lax spa sanitary conditions can result in the spread of fungal and other infections, and so it is that the pedicure actually becomes the pedi-cause! Joking aside, inadequately sterilized spa instruments can transmit life-threatening diseases such as HIV and hepatitis, as well as other serious blood-borne illnesses. Another concern is that some people rely on spa nail and skin services when they have true

medical foot health needs that should really be addressed on a regular basis by a chiropodist. This is especially the case for people at high risk such as diabetics, those with circulatory problems, or chronic disease. What’s one to do? Enter the medical pedicure or “medi-pedi.” When provided by the office of a chiropodist, medi-pedis bridge the gap between spa beautification and proper foot health services. Medical care is provided by a regulated

foot specialist with the skills and expertise to diagnose and treat all foot problems, while aesthetic care is performed under the chiropodist’s direct supervision. And, patients can rest assured that all of it is taking place in a medically sterile environment. Additionally, there’s the opportunity to align the medical and aesthetic care, such as with the application of antifungal nail polish or cosmetic nail lacquers that restore the appearance of fungal toenails while medical treatment of the fungus is ongoing. In the end, it’s about combining spa pampering with specialized foot medical care to offer the best of both worlds in a safe environment. For those with private health insurance benefits, the cost for the medical portion of the visit may also be covered where their plan includes treatment by a chiropodist / podiatrist.Submitted by Kawartha Total Foot Care Centre

thE BEStBraIN FOODS

Berries are rich in plant chemicals called polyphones, which appear to increase the clearance of toxin proteins in the brain according to a recent study. With AD - Alzheimer’s Disease, brain cells become clogged with protein toxins as mentioned in Leslie Beck’s book “Longevity Diet” Research suggests that blueberries, in particular, benefit the brain. Compounds in blueberries seem to play a role in brain nerve cell communication, increasing not only the birth rate of new cells, but improving short term memory and motor skills, Rosie Schwartz reports in “The Enlightened Eater’s Whole Food Guide”. The book “The Rising Tide: The Impact of Dementia in Society” lists certain spices such as Cur cumin, found in turmeric, lower the incidents of Alzheimer’s disease.

One reason is that spices and herbs i.e.: curry, ginger and garlic help cut back on salt use, which can lower blood pressure. This in turn lowers the risk of both stroke and dementia. Cur cumin also protects the brain in other ways such as calming brain inflammation and encouraging white blood cells to gobble up proteins that gum up brain function. Fish, especially fatty fish is number one when it comes to brain protection. Salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines and trout are all rich in heart-healthy Omega 3 fatty acids. Beck notes that a four-year study of older adults found that those who ate fish once a week were 60% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s. Beck states that DHA, an Omega 3 fatty acid found only in coldwater fish, is the only one that makes it to the brain. Lentils are low in fat, loaded with dietary fibre and are rich in Folate and Vitamin B12. Folate helps keep down an amino acid called homocysteine, which, in high levels has been linked to an elevated risk of Alzheimer’s. Supplementing with Omega 3 during pregnancy is associated with significantly higher IQ in children. Numerous studies suggest it may help with disorders like ADD and ADHD.

COMMuNIty CarESOne of the strategic goals of Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes is to ensure that the programs and services presented are reflective of the needs of the community, and that we maximize available resources. This can mean regularly evaluating demand for programs and being flexible in order to respond to changing needs. As a result of that evaluation, the agency is expanding the Adult Day program that operates in Bobcaygeon. Beginning May 6, the Adult Day program will be available on Mondays as well as the traditional Wednesday and Friday sessions that run at Trinity-Providence United Church on William Street. As a result of the change, the Adult Day program in Fenelon Falls will be cut back to two days a week (Tuesday and Friday), since demand for the Monday service there was very low. The Adult Day program offers activation, social interaction and caregiver respite, through a range of supervised social, physical and recreational activities. The program is designed to meet the needs of each client and is presently offered several times per week in four different communities. This change means no reduction in programming, but lets the agency respond to growing needs in the Bobcaygeon area. Activation and socialization are two of the main goals of the Adult Day program, and these are best achieved in settings where regular attendance is higher than what was being averaged on Mondays in Fenelon Falls.


That’s better use of the agency’s resources, and good news for anyone interested in the program. Contact our offices to find out more about Adult Day or any Community Care program.

Funding for Community Health Centre

The Ontario Government has announced that it will invest $7.4 million in a capital project to help construct a new facility for the Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes Community Health Centre. This means that many more people living in the City of Kawartha Lakes will have access to a primary health care model in the next few years, officials with Community Care say. The announcement was made on Monday, April 8 by Ontario Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal, on behalf of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The province is committing funding to 17 Community Health Centres in Ontario. Community Care’s CHC is the only community health centre in the Central East LHIN region receiving such capital, however. Community Care CKL Chief Executive Officer Cathy Danbrook said the funding is an investment that will yield a high return in the future. “The primary health care model of the CHC has been proven to improve a local population’s health, reduce health disparities and eases the pressures on the rest of our health system,” she said. The local CHC has approximately 1,500 clients who, prior to its opening in 2009, did not have a local family doctor or nurse practitioner. Currently located at 108 Angeline St. S. in Lindsay, the CHC will benefit from the opportunity to build a new facility that will allow

Community Care “to expand access to our primary health care, health promotion, dental, seniors and youth services so that we can better reach out to all populations of the community we serve.” A 2012 study from the Institute of Clinical Evaluative Studies found that compared to other models of health care, the CHC approach was more effective than other primary care models in keeping people out of emergency departments of local hospitals. Officials estimated that the entire process towards the

opening of a new facility may take between three and five years. It is hoped that as many Community Care programs and services as possible can be consolidated into the future new space. “CHCs can play a huge role enabling the province’s new action plan to make Ontario the healthiest place to grow up and grow old,” Ms Danbrook said. “We hope this is just the start of a series of steps to expand access to community-governed models that do such a good job promoting health and wellbeing.”

The purpose of this letter is to dispel any misinformation circulating in the community and put some clarity on my personal and professional situation.

First and foremost, all is normal at Bobcaygeon Dental Centre and the continued development of the Kawartha Health Centre. The practice is on solid financial ground and I will continue to practice dentistry on an on-going basis. Yes, it is true I have had to close down three practices due to variables beyond my control. All patient files from both offices were transferred in accordance to regulatory rules to ensure all patients were taken care of.

In order to protect my family, I have had to declare personal bankruptcy. However, this does not preclude me from operating as a dentist. I, and the rest of the team at Bobcaygeon, will continue to service your dental health-care needs. I encourage you to contact me directly at 705-738-2828 if you have any comments, questions or concerns.

BOarD OF traDE Poised to Bring Citywide Business Unity

There are moments in time when the opportunity for significant, positive change is present within a community. The dream of providing this type of opportunity to the City of Kawartha Lakes business community was conceived by a variety of community stakeholders this past summer and has recently made the final steps in seeing this realized. The Kawartha Lakes Board of Trade will function as an umbrella organization that is a strong, unified voice for all businesses within the City of Kawartha Lakes. Although specific mandates and programming will be developed after additional consultation with the business community, the organization seeks to develop resources for expediting business development, incubate strategies that foster meaningful economic growth, and provide a powerful and valuable voice in helping shape legislative policy. A spokesperson for the recently incorporated organization noted “there is significant support from businesses around the city. What we’ve heard from business owners has been extremely positive and encouraging. Despite the complexities that are to be expected in the process of forming such a broad-based organization, the vast majority of those in the business community recognize that the truly important steps of the process—such as incorporating, securing

funding, and consulting a wide range of stakeholders from all communities—have been, and continue to be, in very capable hands. Many of these key steps have been accomplished and the entire process is moving forward with great prospects and potential.” The Board of Trade will be an independent organization, run by the business community. A spokesperson for the organization added, “It is important for the organization to be an arms-length organization in order to effectively provide valuable and accurate dialogue with policy makers. Operating in this fashion also allows the Board of Trade to stay in touch with the real concerns, solutions, and successes of the business community throughout the entire city.” With the support of an extensive list of key community stakeholders, including the Kawartha Lakes Community Futures Development Corporation (KLCFDC), Fenelon Falls & District Chamber of Commerce, Bobcaygeon & Area Chamber of Commerce and the Kawartha Lakes Associated Chamber of Commerce, the Lindsay and District Chamber of Commerce (LDCC) will finalize the remaining foundational groundwork for the Board of Trade before passing the torch to a transition team lead by the United Way of City Kawartha Lakes. The transition team will be holding public consultations and further facilitating the collaborative, democratic, development of the organization’s mandate and programming. The Kawartha Lakes Board of Trade anticipates being a fully functioning, autonomous organization–with it’s own elected board of directors–within the next two months. Separate contact information for the Board of Trade will be established in the coming months.

SPICE It uP! By Christopher Tuberdyke

Spring-cleaning is a time to freshen up your home after being shut in all winter. We tackle cobwebs, flip mattresses, clean out our fridges and freezers – but what about our spice racks? This may sound silly, but that basil in your cupboard isn’t supposed to be beige. There is a notion that spices should be rotated twice a year. This is unnecessary and wasteful. Spices and herbs stored in airtight containers can last years. Ground spices begin to loose their potency the moment that they are ground. While they will last up to two years, it’s a much smarter choice to buy them whole and grind them as needed. A spice grinder is a cheap investment (and an old coffee grinder works great) and a whole spice, like peppercorns, can last up to 4 years, if stored properly. If your dried spices smell flat, it’s time for them to go. Herbs don’t last quite as long, but will be fine for about a year. To test for freshness, pinch some between your fingers – if they are fragrant and green they’re okay. If not, it’s time to add them to your shopping list. Happy cleaning!
