Je suis Charlie By Max Miller, publisher As owner and publisher of The Kawartha Promoter I have been threatened a number of times—with lawsuits, shouts, physical intimidation and even tar and feathering. But I never thought I might be murdered for doing my job. Last week, journalists and cartoonists were executed for words and drawings. They did not threaten anyone’s lives, children, families, homes. They did not cause anyone to be exiled or denied the right to practice their religion. They did not extol the virtue of rape, murder and enslavement. They used words and pictures to hold up a mirror to our society. There are some who say Charlie Hebdo should have known better. However, over the years the journalists, artists, actors, musicians have been the ones who dare protest the injustices in our society—the ones who aren’t afraid. I am so proud of those who dare take a stand and make a difference. I consider the assassins criminals who justify killing and torture with religion. Evil walks this earth still and I weep for the suffering of humankind.

Where is the compassion? By John Bird, editor Let there be no mistake. I absolutely condemn the Paris killings last week. It was a heinous act. The killers claimed to act for Allah, but they showed no understanding of Allah’s message, no compassion. I’mfinding ithard,however, toheappraiseon thecartoonistseither. Ibelievein freedom of speech, but with that freedom comes a responsibility—to “comfort the afflicted,andafflictthecomfortable.” TheCharlieHebdojournalistsdid“afflictthecomfortable”—thoseinpower.Butthey also chose, from their own positions of white privilege, to mock and ridicule FrenchMuslims—clearlypeoplewhoarealreadymarginalizedandafflicted. I see both sides trying to drive a wedge between their peoples. Should those journalists have been censored, threatened, or killed for their actions? No, No, and of course, NO. But I just wish their actions had showed more compassion.

Love the community ice rink The Community Ice Rink at Bobcaygeon’s Tommy Anderson Park has being going since 2008 and has been a wonderful outdoor winter activity in our community. The City of Kawartha Lakes provides us with a room to house shovels, broom and the hose for flooding,andpaysforthewaterandhydro. Crazy Monkey Tree Service has offered to plow the parking lot on a regular basis, and even the rink when the ice is strong enough to hold the truck.

Each year we look to the community to help with flooding and shoveling. It takes a lot ofeffort and time, but in the end, watching people of all ages being outdoors and skating makes it all worthwhile.Ruth PillsworthBobcaygeon

From the roots to the high road The media is a very powerful tool. Although it is often in the shadows of national coverage, the local media is particularly significant. The local mediaconnects with individuals on a very personal and fundamental level, and is trusted in a unique and authentic way. Being the guardians of local media, all of you are more powerful than you might think. You have the opportunity and capabilities to twist or to tell the truth. I applaud and admire your vision in taking the high road in this recent article (Halal objections an ‘opportunity for dialogue’ - Dec. 15, 2014, page 35). Grassroots change is fundamental, and of course, starts at the roots. Thank you for helping to plant the seeds.Shahzil MohamedBobcaygeon

Andy Letham, with many of the elected council in attendance. It was an opportune time for the public that attended to converse with the mayor and councillors about situations of concern. Nice to see the more senior citizens like Stan Potts and Ted Sale in attendance and looking so well plus, we all had a good chat with them. Kathleen Seymour-Fagan looked very elegant, and was so pleased with the recent council meeting and pleasantly surprised by the civil conduct and spiritofharmonythatprevailedforthefirsttimeinalong while at a CKL council meeting. Good news for city taxpayers. Found the mayor very easy to talk to and honestly receptive to offered ideas.Al StaceyBobcaygeon

Penny pinching meets health and safety in city budget The bottom line for taxpayers on the City of Kawartha Lakes 2015 capital budget is a good news/bad news scenario. The new capital budget represents a $1.3 million or 4.3 percent increase over last year, but the taxpayers’ share of that will actually decrease by $1,752,693 or 18 percent to

$7,896,912. Thatfiscalmiracleisaccomplishedbydrawingnearly $3 million more than last year from city reserves, and by a projected increase in development charges revenue of more than $3 million, thanks to the new development charges bylaw passed last fall that substantially raised costs to developers and home builders for providing city services to new buildings. The city plans to build the reserves back up with the increased development charges revenue. Council spent a full day, Jan. 8, debating 36 items extracted from the full capital budget. When they were done, the city’s Director of Corporate Services Mary-Anne Dempster crunched the numbers and announced council had reduced the capital budget requirement by $184,100 (just over half a percent), from the projected $31,310,030. Council agreed, however, to leave the $184,100 in the budget and use it to beef up the capital property reserve (for unforeseen and emergency needs), which is generally $1 million, but had fallen recently to $280,000. This transfer, plus some leftover money from capital projects not done last year, would raise the capital reserve back up to nearly $800,000. The penny pinchers on council—who consider it job one to rein in city spending in the face of looming deficits and continued provincialdownloading of costs onto municipalities—faced off against health and safety concerns during debate over capital budget extractions.

NEW PATIENTS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME

Veteran councillors Brian Junkin (Ward 7), Emmet Yeo (Ward 2) and Pat Dunn (Ward 10) rose alternately—and sometimes together—to object to proposed spending on items like: •A4X4pickuptruckforthefiredepartment,• Repairs to eliminate mold in city buildings atBurnt River and Sturgeon Point, •Eye-washstationsforstaffworkingwithhazardouschemicals, •Sidewalksnow-removalequipment,• A system to remove diesel exhaust (a knowncarcinogen)infirehalls,and•AnewaircompressorfortheLindsayfirehalltoreplace a 30-year-old compressor that Fire Chief MarkPankhurstdescribedas“attheendofitslife.” They won some . . . and they lost most, including all the items listed above. Speaking to the mold issue, Ward 6 councillor Doug Elmslie noted “we had a health and safety presentation earlier this week that showed the city and councilors are responsible to ensure the healthandsafetyof itsemployees.”Asanoutsidelegal observer cautioned afterwards about health-and-safety issues, “I have one word for council: liability.” Most of the spoken opposition to the penny pinchers came from three other council veterans, Elmslie, Ward 5’s Stephen Strangway, and Ward 16’s Heather Stauble—and occasionally the city’s new Mayor Andy Letham and Ward 3’s Gord Miller. Elmslie introduced the debate by noting that

during the election campaign last fall, he heard time and again that citizens don’t want any more cuts in services. “If we remove items from the capital budget just to get to a number, we are cuttingservices,”hesaid. He argued that if anything, the capital budget needs to be increased, and savings should be realized throughoperatingefficienciesgainedbyimplementingthe city’s Lean Six Sigma management process. But Yeo was quick to disagree. “Not every cut isacuttoservices,”hesaid.Somethingsare“niceto have” but they are not necessities in a time ofausterity. Elmslie argued that the hard work on the capital budget had already been done. “We have a plan andweneedtoimplementit.”Council’sjobatthispoint, he said, consists of “kicking the ball further downtheroad.” But Dunn and others, including Ward 9 neophyte Isaac Breadner (the only newbie councillor to do

much speaking at this meeting) seemed in a mood to question staff decisions. “Everybody wants to drive a 4X4 pickup,”said Dunn. It’s about status, he argued, rather than need. The day’s debate could be described as healthy and polite. Elmslie had kicked off the proceedings Thursday morning by asking for a “sane, gentle discussion” about the budget items under debate(the extractions). In the end, under Letham’s low-key guidance, he got his wish.

Forbert fitness expansion on hold Plans to expand the well-used—some would say overcrowded—fitness room at Bobcaygeon’sForbert Pool have been put on hold in the 2015 capital budget, says City of Kawartha Lakes’ Director of Community Services Craig Shanks. The fiscal constraints the city is facing havemade this a year to focus on maintaining existing facilities rather than expanding, he said, so the plans have been deferred to 2016. The year delay will also allow the city to complete its provincially mandated asset management plan, Shanksadded,whichshouldthenmakethefitness-room expansion eligible for infrastructure funding from the provincial and/or federal governments. There are rumours, he said, that a new batch of infrastructure funding may become available in late 2015 or early 2016, and he hopes the city will get someofitforprojectsliketheForbertfitnessroom.

MNR offers Bobcaygeon open house on Young QuarryBy Glenna Burns MNR is hosting an “openhouse,” alongwithpersonnel from the CDR Young quarry, at the Bobcaygeon Legion, Branch 239 on Friday, Jan. 16 from 6 to 8 pm. Trent Lakes municipality will send a representative to further address the many questions this proposal raises. The public is encouraged to attend and to offer their input. ThenewTrentLakescouncilisfacingadifficulttask in trying to affect the proposed expansion of the Young quarry, according to Mayor Bev Matthews. She says it is merely a courtesy of the appellant to ask council’s consent for anything, since the quarry sits on Crown Land over which the municipality has no power. In fact, most of the big quarries in Trent Lakes are on Crown Land, so the proceeds for extraction go to the province, not to the municipality, which bears the burden of costs.

Councillors expressed concerns about the quarry’s proposals to extract below the water table, to increase tonnage extracted (which would mean moretrucktraffic),andtoextendhoursofoperationfor the quarry. Council will send a letter detailing its concerns to the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Joint action to petition province on quarriesBy Glenna Burns The City of Kawartha Lakes, Trent Lakes township, and Peterborough County are coming together to discuss more aggregate issues. Administrators from all three municipalities looked over CKL’s Secondary Aggregate Plan and the issue of road damage on haul routes and who should pay those costs. They had concerns over the formula for royalty payments from operators and how the destruction of Road 36 as a haul route could be mitigated. One idea is to make 36 a provincial road again, but that would not solve Bobcaygeon’s problem of heavytrucktrafficduringtouristseason. Trent Lakes council hopes to accomplish something with the stronger voice of three municipalities acting together to petition the province on aggregate matters. Perhaps after the long awaited Dewdney Mountain decision is made this issue will be clearer.

Septic surprise in Norland No sooner had CKL council shaved $180,000 from the 2015 capital projects budget at its Jan. 8 meeting, than Ward 2 Councillor Emmet Yeo rose to request that up to $108,000 be made available to replace the septic system at the Norland Community Centre. Yeo apologized for the late entry, but said the system had just failed and will need to be replaced when spring weather makes the work possible. The city already has a capital project in the works to add a community banquet hall to the centre’s natural ice rink, said City of Kawartha Lakes’ Director of Community Services Craig Shanks. The architect is finalizing the plans so a request forproposals can be issued. He said the new septic system would be added to the plans before the RFP is issued. The money to do the work—up to $108,000—was added to the capital budget.


Opening up the Committee of Adjustment—and dumping untested fillBy Glenna Burns The new Trent Lakes council voted three to two, Dec. 16, to create a more transparent Committee of Adjustment. The issue of maintaining the status quo of only councillors on this important committee or having a citizen only or citizen and councillors component created some debate. Initially councillors Terry Lambshead and Ron Windover moved to maintain the council only committee, however that motion was defeated and a second motion supported by Mayor Bev Matthews, councillors Dick Persson and Peter Raymond carried to have a committee made up of citizens and councillors. Matthews said this committee is often seen as politically motivated, thus the need for greater citizen involvement. The new mayor and council progressed through a lengthy agenda. Rob Messervey from the Kawartha Region Conservation Authority (KRCA) presented council with an overview of the organization, its history, mission and important issues facing water and the watershed. One issue that council needs to pay special attention to is the dumping of untested fill fromthe GTA. The Pan Am Games and large scale

constructionprojectsarecreatingademandtofindplaces to get rid of this material and our area looks like a good choice to developers. Contaminants in this fill can be lethal to ourwater systems. The MNR has soil quality guidelines that municipalities can use to create by-laws to deal with this problem. The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change are also aware of soil contamination and are exploring how it can impact not only the ecosystem but social systems too. Mr. Messervey will return to council on Jan. 20 tolookatissuesspecifictoNogiesCreek. Crystal Lake Cottage Association spokesperson Sharon Brickman brought to council’s attention the needfora“greener”attitudeatmunicipalitylandfilland transfer stations. Roadside dumping of materials like mattresses and more frequent acceptance of hazardous household items are concerns she hopes will be addressed soon. Council recognized the need to be more proactive with waste materials while being mindful of the increased costs to the municipality.

Update on Flynn’s Corner development plansBy Glenna Burns Trent Lakes council had a special meeting before Christmas to learn more about the Flynn’s Corner Golf Course and Subdivision development proposed by Keith Leckie and Doug Summers. Planner Peter Josephs presented council with a December 12, 2014 updated report on the proposed project of 142 hectares on Lots 22 and 23 of Concession 9 just off county road 507. Theapplicantshavebeenworkingforoverfiveyears completing the necessary studies and working with the county on this ‘rugged’ golf course, club house and 47-house subdivision on minimum three-

quarters-of-an-acre lots. The lands surrounding the golf course will be used as recreational trails with public access for walking and skiing. Nine holes of the 18-hole course are slated to be completed in the initial stage, with work ready to begin as soon as the okay is given. The housing component of the plan will be done in stages according to Mr. Summers. The property owners said they were aware of possible environmental impacts to the surrounding wetlands and that their project will have minimal effects due to the set-back distance from the adjacent wetlandsandthedesiretokeepthearea“natural.” They also emphasized that this was a “great opportunityforthetownship”forrecreation,anewtax base and employment that is not an aggregate pit. Council had numerous questions around street lighting, which is to be low level, project time frame, andwhetheritwasa“gated”community.Thetimeframe was undetermined and the streets will all be public roads. Council moved to accept the submission for future consideration.

Grant to make Trent Lakes library more accessible A $12 thousand dollar grant will help Trent Lakes Public Library lower the existing service counter and install automated door openers, making

the facility more accessible to people with mobility issues. The grant from the federal ministry for social development is part of $175,000 distributed to six organizations in the federal riding of Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock to improve accessibility for Canadians with disabilities through the Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF). The EAF is supporting more than 1,800 projects across the country to improve accessibility in facilities across Canada, including workplaces, said MP Barry Devolin. Four other grants went to Haliburton organizations and one to a group in Brock. EAF was originally announced in 2007 as a three-year, $45-million program to support community-based projects across Canada. In 2010, it was extended for an additional three years and $45 million, and Economic Action Plan 2013 extended EAF on an ongoing basis at $15 million per year.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) If you open up your heart to all possibilities, Capricorn, there are no limits, no borders, no boundaries to what you can achieve. Dream far, dream big.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) The workplace may be a frustrating spot to be these days, Aquarius. It may seem like you are not in control, and dependent on others and their lack of direction and responsibility. Focus on what YOU can do, and let the other “stuff” just happen.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) What could be better than a winter love to keep you warm, Pisces? That’s right. Love is on the way. Keep the fire burning and, before you know it, it will be a summer love.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Please find the time to be kind to yourself, Aries. Rest when you need to rest—or even if you just feel like it. The world will keep on spinning.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Aah Taurus, it’s a brand new year. A time to stretch yourself to your limits and beyond. A time to invent a new YOU. We say: “Do it.”

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Finding a creative solution to a problem is not always easy, but during this phase, Gemini, it will be your strongest characteristic. Be proud of this.Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Verbal abuse can be severely

damaging, whether it takes place in the home or workplace. Recognize it for what it is: Toxic to your health, physically and psychologically. Protect yourself by staying away from people who abuse you. And if you need it, seek help.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Oh, la-de-dah. Another new adventure in the offing for our dear Leo. We just can’t keep you down on the farm. What a great way to start 2015. Embrace it.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) “What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.”—Morticia Adams. So, you see dear Virgo, that one person’s “normal” is not the same as her next-door neighbour’s “normal”. Don’t try to fit into a “normal” that doesn’t suit you.Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Even though the sun is not showing today, Libra, she is still there—hiding and shining resplendently behind the clouds. Never fear. The sun will come out.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) January is a time of stillness in the natural world. For you, Scorpio, it’s a time to slow down, reflect—and wonder. There are so many beautiful things to appreciate, starting with friends and family.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) You may experience a spiritual awakening in the coming days, Sag. Your natural curiosity, together with a desire to understand all things, will lead you to search, search, search. Be open to the answers.

By April Scott A brand new year brings a brand new start for the Choristers. After a well-earned

rest, members are all eager to start learning new music at practices in the Anglican Church on Tuesday nights. Some members will be flying off to warmer

climes for a while and some will be returning after a leave of absence. We will welcome them back along with anyone who might be thinking of joining us for this coming season, they can call 705-738-2396 for more information. The Choristers were pleased to donate children’s gifts at their Christmas party in December. I have been assured that they were put to good use and hopefully we can make this an annual event to help others have a good Christmas. “Like” us on Facebook, where you can getinformation and see pictures we have posted.

LOCAL ReAL eSTATe OUTLOOK GOOD FOR 2015By Jerry Bryans, Royal Lepage Kawartha Lakes, Fenelon Falls Branch The outlook for real estate in Kawartha Lakes is positive for 2015. Consider the following:• Gasoline prices are the lowest in four to fiveyears. Folks will be more receptive to buying in the Kawarthas now that commuting costs are down. •Interestratesareforecasttoincreaseinthethird

quarterof2015byupto1.5percent,thefirstraisesince2008.This should stimulate sales in thefirsthalf of 2015.•TheeconomicforecastfortheUnitedStatesisfora three percent improvement in the Gross Domestic Product.ThisrisingU.S.tideshouldfloatOntario’sboat too.•Thecurrentfallingasolinepricesisnotgreatforthe oil-producing sectors of Canada, but it should stimulate Ontario’s economy.•Momentumcontinuesupwardinpropertypricesand sales in Toronto and Durham Region. Kawartha Lakes should be able to capitalize on the movement eastward as these trends continue.•TheCanadian dollar has dipped during the lastfew months as the American dollar rebounds. A more competitive dollar will substantially improve our export sales and make Ontario’s industrial base more attractive to manufacturing.• As a result of a slow recovery in the worldeconomy, there remains a lot of pent-up demand to move ahead. We should see a substantial improvement in real estate sales in 2015—in cottage properties, recreational properties and permanent relocations. If you are considering selling this year, this is a good time to list.

Health & Wellness

Do You Feel Dizzy?There are many causes for dizziness, however the #1 reason people feel dizzy is due to Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). There are little crystals that are in the base of the balance organ in the inner ear. The crystals are supposed to stay in the base, however if they move into one of the three canals in the balance organ, you will feel dizzy particularly when you tilt your head a certain way. For example, you may feel dizzy when you look up or down, roll over in bed or while walking. The good news is you don’t have to live with it! The treatment involves moving you in a very controlled, slow manner into various positions to move the crystals out of the canals. Most people notice that the dizziness is gone immediately, and some people feel “foggy” for a couple of days after the treatment before it goes away completely. We always have a follow-up appointment for you to ensure that you are better. We have been treating dizziness and vertigo for many years. Please call us to make an appointment.P.S. BPPV increases your risk of falling. We can help!

FeeLiNG SiCK? iF iT’S FLU, AvOiD THe eMeRGeNCY

DePARTMeNT Most people with the flu (influenza) arestrongly encouraged to avoid hospital emergency departments to prevent spreading the disease to others. Adults should only come to the emergency department if they have flu symptoms and havedifficulty breathing or can’t tolerate fluids. Fluis an acute respiratory illness caused by a virus. Symptoms include fever, cough, weakness, body aches and headache. It can lead to pneumonia. Children should be brought to the emergency department if their symptoms improve and then suddenly become worse.

DeNTAL PROGRAM CHANGeS COULD HURT

CHiLDReN The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) DistrictHealthUnitsayproposedchangestodentalprograms delivered by Ontario health units could leave some vulnerable children with less medical service.


The Ontario government’s proposed integration of dental health programs offered to children and youth is designed to make it less confusing for families to access dental care, but Dr. Laleh Sadeghi told the HKPR board that two related changes are worrisome:•Healthunitswouldnolongerberequiredtooffer

preventive dental services to children in their communities.

•Somechildrenwithurgentdentalconditionswillno longer be eligible for one full course of dental treatment to restore dental health, as is currently offered through the Children in Need of Treatment program.

Dr. Sadeghi said the changes are particularly worrisome in the City of Kawartha Lakes, as well as Haliburton and Northumberland counties, where there is a higher rate of tooth decay among Kindergarten students. Over the last three years, HealthUnit screening in local schools has foundapproximately 37 per cent of Junior Kindergarten and Senior Kindergarten students suffer from some form of tooth decay.

PROMOTiNG SAFe TALK TO HeLP PeOPLe ReSPOND TO

POTeNTiAL SUiCiDeS Most people with thoughts of suicide invite help. Often these opportunities to help are missed, dismissed or avoided — leaving people more alone and at greater risk. The safeTALK program (Suicide Alertness For

Everyone) is aimed at improving the skills of family members, friends, caregivers and community support people including front-line workers, clergy, teachers and law enforcement—in other words, everyone. The Ross Memorial Family-Centred-Care Working Group and the Boys and Girls Club of Kawartha Lakes are hosting a safeTALK session on Wednesday, Feb. 18, from 10:30 am to 2 pm at the Boys and Girls Club of Kawartha Lakes, Arts and Cultural Room. The cost is $10, and pre-registration is required.

Quitting smoking isn’t any easier when you’re pregnant, and local rates of smoking throughout pregnancy are higher in Peterborough County and City than the provincial average. But a new partnership between Peterborough County-City Health Unit and the Partners inPregnancy Clinic is giving more options and support to area women who are pregnant or have young children. The “Choose to Be…Smoke Free” quit-smoking program is tailored specifically forwomen, incorporating women’s knowledge of their communities and lived experiences. It combines behavioural counselling and group support with free nicotine replacement therapy. Other key program components include free transportation, help with childcare, positive smoke-free resources, women-centred quit kits, opportunities for social networking, and incentives like weekly gift cards for a grocery store or pharmacy.

ALDA KiMBLe (1920-2014): AN APPReCiATiON

By Allan Ingram With the passing on Dec. 23, 2014, of Alda Kimble in her 95th year, the Bobcaygeon community has lost a very special lady. Alda’s husband, Orville, died in 1964, leaving her to

raise their 10 children. In addition to managing her own household, she performed house-cleaning services for others, including Tom Nye’s Westerham group home. With seven boys and three girls, it was natural for the family to get involved in sports, and in Bobcaygeon that basically means hockey. Alda was dedicated to her family, so she attended all the kids’ games. She was one of the ladies who prepared the roast beef dinners for hockey tournaments, for which she was given the Stirling Jermyn Memorial award. After watching her seven sons’ games through mite to junior, she began to follow her grandchildren—and even her great grandchildren—in various leagues and centres throughout the province. In 2009, she was given a lifetime pass by Bobcaygeon Minor Hockey. As her family moved away from home, she began to expand her community involvement—in Trinity’s United Church Women, the SouthVerulam Women’s Institute, the Bobcaygeon Public Library board, Bobcaygeon Horticultural Society (she loved her flower garden). She wasthe first recipient of the Bobcaygeon Kinsmen’sCitizen of the Year Award.

Alda had an amazing memory for genealogy. She sent hundreds of greeting cards to friends and relatives with birthday, get-well and congratulatory wishes. She rarely missed a wake or funeral of a relative, friend or community member. We have lost a library of local history, and an ambassador of goodwill for our community.
