Finally!

2 May 30, 2014 - The Kawartha Promoter

A customer walks into Bobcaygeon’s new Gilstorf & Gray store, and looking around, comments “what a transformation here. I’m quite impressed.” He turns to proprietors Robin Burrows and her husband Joe Yusiw and says “welcome to the town.” Robin has purchased and completely renovated the building at 59 William St. to make way for a store Robin says is something she has wanted to do her whole life: owning and operating a quaint shop in a cottage town. Her motto is - if you are going to do something, then do it well - and she and Joe have certainly done that in collaboration with local tradespeople. The heritage feel is apparent from the minute you step through the front cedar door, onto hardwood flooring and glance at the beams overhead. Robin also re-purposed 100-year-old wood taken from the original walls in this space. “I like to mix old and new, and I wanted it to be farmhouse chic,” says Robin as evidenced by the modern touches too: the windows, light paint and lighting. The name comes from two names in Robin’s family tree: Gilstorf (German) and Gray (Irish). Robin has family roots in the area with parents Jerry and Diane Burrows and Jim Cheyne. Robin said her late mother Gail has also been a big influence, both in general and when it comes to this venture. Robin and Joe had been living in the GTA and, upon the sale of her family’s business there, they permanently re-located to their cottage on the way to Buckhorn.

Their dog, Angus greets arrivals in a store Robin says is nostalgic, with a generational aspect and harkens back to a simpler time. There are antique fixtures, such as a 1929 cash register and merchant’s paper cutter for wrapping purchases and price tags featuring vintage pictures of various Gilstorfs and Grays. However, the merchandise is new…customers will find woods, cottons and linens, furniture, gifts and unique pieces. There is a bit of water and nautical-type merchandise. It is all very Earthy. So far, they said reaction has been very positive. “Everybody has loved what we’ve done with it and one customer told us ‘you can never close’.”

OFF THE TOP F o r m e r national news a n c h o r m a n Lloyd Robertson paid a visit to the City of Kawartha Lakes on Saturday,

May 24 and, as a newspaperwoman, I wasn’t about to miss the event at Harmony Farm. I had interviewed Robertson by telephone for a piece in the May 16 Kawartha Promoter but we mainly stuck to current events during our chat. It wasn’t until later, when I began reading his memoirs, The Kind of Life It’s Been, that I got a more personal glimpse of the public figure. Roberston’s mother, Lilly Mary Francis, suffered from mental health issues and it had a profound effect on Robertson. He bravely writes about it in the book and speaks openly about it, including during his trip to the Kawarthas. He told us that former news colleague Craig Oliver told him he had to write about the bad times

as well as the good times in his memoir and he has done that He talks about his mom’s frequent visits to a psychiatric hospital and how she underwent a lobotomy when he was 14 which “flatlined her emotionally.” He said the only joy she appeared to get out of life was watching her son on television. He said it was traumatic but it was important to tell people that he came out of it alright with options of “adapt or die or fall by the wayside. Kids do find a path but not without some obstacles getting there.” He said anyone with mental illness in their family spends their life looking over their shoulder, wondering if the demons will get them too He said 50% of Canadians say if they had a mental illness in their family they wouldn’t tell anybody about it but the stigma is slowly disappearing thanks to people such as Clara Hughes and her Bell Let’s Talk campaign, sportscaster Michael Lansdsberg, Margaret Trudeau and Mike Wallace. We can now add Lloyd Roberson to the list of names of people who are openly and honestly talking about mental health issues to eliminate the stigma.

Letters to the editor Who pays the lawyers’ fees at the OMB hearings for the opposition to the proposed 400-acre mega-quarry in Harvey Township, 10 min. from Bobcaygeon (Hwy. 36 going through Bobcaygeon is the major haul route)? Tim and Adri Eastman, Ruth and Steve Pillsworth, Janet and David Klein and Beckie and Ryan Jory will pay in excess of $50,000. As Bob Anderson said during his presentation at the hearing on May 22, the “boulder” is rolling down on these local residents. Against great odds. these four families are doing the only thing they can do, try to keep the life they have spent their whole lives building, It is a David and Goliath story and this is not only “their fight”. The more information that comes out at these hearings the more obvious it becomes that the proposed mega-quarry is “bad” (decreased property values, environmental and traffic issues) for 99.9% of the people in this area. Apathy will not cut it. We need to support these families. The hearings at Trent Lakes municipal office started May 20, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Depending on how it goes, the last day will be Wed., June 9. If you choose to attend you are not expected to do any more than sit and listen. Your presence is important and the chairperson/judge is noticing. Stop by for 15 minutes or come every day. The chairperson has commented positively on the citizens who have shown up. Sixty people walked from Bobcaygeon to the municipal office (7 km) and over 100 people were there when the hearings began. If you do not want a mega-quarry in your neighbourhood, now is the time to act. Information regarding a proposed graphite mine site was talked about at the hearings on May 22. The outcome for the mega-quarry on Ledge Rd. for this case is precedent-setting. C.F.R.A.D. (Citizens For Responsible Aggregate Development) is raising awareness and asking people to donate at Bank of Montreal Bobcaygeon account # 03058994689. It is not just four families that are going to be affected by this mega-quarry. Please come to the OMB hearings and/or donate.Elaine Bird

More on the OMB hearing Last Thursday’s (May 22) presentations from the public were heard. Such thought-provoking points were made that should go a long way to assist the powers that be in denying the application especially with demonstrations for rejection by fervent residents and taxpayers. Traffic analysis gave the greatest hope. It was pointed out that the area is no longer populated

by seasonal visitors and cottagers but is becoming a string of retirement communities that depend on being able to get to hospitals and physicians easily and promptly. That made me recall, that about two years ago, when there was a tragic nighttime double fatality between Mill Line Road and Trent Lakes Municipal Office, even though I could see our road to turn down, we had to detour to get to the other side of the accident. Both routes began by going back to Bobcaygeon. Then we could either go south to Emily Park, along #7 through Fowler’s Corners, through Bridgenorth to Buckhorn, and then Buckhorn via #36 to Crowe’s Line Road. The other choice was to go North on #49 to Kinmount, across to Gooderham, then down to Flynn’s Corners, turning west on #36 and then to Crowe’s Line Road. Each route was about a two-hour drive. Another concern is for the bridge at Nogie’s Creek. Remember how long it took to do the bridge on #24 near Bobcaygeon and the detour for residents along the route? At least there were a number of choices along Hwy#36 to duck down towards Sturgeon Lake but the area around the proposed quarry is made up of lakes, marshes and waterways. If the bridge at Nogies Creek becomes unsafe and needs to be reinforced or rebuilt, where can they detour the traffic to? Where can ambulances, police, and fire trucks go to get to emergencies? We have to conserve this little but crucial bridge from heavily laden aggregate trucks. It’s on the only road that goes east. And have you ever had one of those trucks on your tail, bumper riding you or sandwiching you between his pal up front? Our roads and bridges and residents-at-risk can’t bear the blow to our wallets either. Also, the quarry area may have been designated for aggregate extraction by the county but the last time I looked, there was no “by-a-certain deadline” date. A hundred years from now it could still be listed as “for-extraction” and still be intact. What’s the hurry? The area has not been thoroughly explored for flora and fauna, nor historical nor archeological significance. We would rather that the noise come from loons and wind than huge trucks gearing up and down, dust, dynamite, and crushers. And we would rather get back and forth to civilization unimpeded.Elaine FritzBobcaygeon

The use of a City of Kawartha Lakes credit card to pay for a ticket to a political fundraiser last year has gotten the city in trouble with Elections Canada. While contents of the correspondence from Elections Canada were not released to the public at the May 27 council meeting, there was a report that came out of closed session. It cited “inadvertence” for the ticket purchase and said the donation had been returned to the city. Further, it said that the city intends to review and revise its procedures, including with respect to credit cards, “to distinguish as necessary and appropriate between permitted donations and donations such as under the Canada Elections Act which are no longer permitted as a result of changes in law.” Referencing “litigation or potential litigation” for the matter going in private, the city said in open session that, “The Corporation wishes to enter into an agreement with the Commissioner of Canada Elections acknowledging and addressing the ... matters in an acceptable form,” with the CAO being directed to do that with the assistance of legal counsel.

One chip truck Armed with nearly 70 names on a petition, and already in business two weeks, Allan Latto came before council asking it to waive a bylaw that only allows one chip truck in Bobcaygeon. He implored councillors to change their mind saying in part, “I don’t believe anybody should have a monopoly” and it was a matter of “free enterprise.” But Ward 7 Coun. Brian Junkin said the bylaw was in place to protect restaurants. He said if the chamber of commerce were to seek a change he would reconsider. He got the backing of Ward 13 Coun. Pat Warren. Despite, Ward 2 Coun. Emmett Yeo, Ward 14 Coun. Ron Ashmore (who called the bylaw “business apartheid”) and Ward 1 Coun. John Macklem all calling for the bylaw to be waived, it did not happen.

Lakeview Water Co-Op Owners of nine residences in the Lakeview Water Co-op could be looking at spending $15,000 to $25,000 each for compliant water systems. The city agreed to a special local improvement charge, to go on people’s tax bills, and payable over a maximum of 10 years. If not paid, the property will be considered in arrears. Council has hired Grace

and Associates Ltd. to do the work, which should be completely wrapped up by December. The city was served notice by the MOE Feb. 18. Residents have been under a boil water advisory since 2004.

NEW PATIENTS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME

OMB HEARING CONTINUESTRENT LAKES - When the Ontario Municipal Board’s Colin Hefferon asked whether haul routes were an issue - during an OMB hearing over a proposed giant limestone quarry just outside of Bobcaygeon - a voice in a packed hearing room yelled out “it’s the issue in

this room.” Hefferon got a glimpse of just how passionate Citizens for Reponsible Aggregate Development (CFRAD) are about the proposed Dewdney Mountain Farm development when he witnessed them walking from Bobcaygeon to the municipal office and holding a sacred waters ceremony outside on the first day of the hearing on May 20. Wearing T-shirts with ‘think global – act local” slogans, they packed the chambers with signs reading ‘no more quarries.’ The overflow spread out to the lawn with some people looking in through the screened windows. Hefferon said it was an impressive sight and reminiscent of an anti-biosolids group he had encountered in the London area in the past. Hefferon set a 16-day schedule for the hearing but indicated it could go longer. The hearing is addressing an appeal over the zoning and official plan approval of the Municipality of Trent Lakes and County of Peterborough. On Thursday (May 22), Bob Anderson, an appellant in the case, who owns a camp near the proposed quarry, told Hefferon “my main concerns are dust, noise and property values.” A realtor, he estimated property values in the area will plummet 20%. He added he is worried about the deer and the loss of recreational snowmobile trails. He also criticized the process as being not well advertised and flawed in recording people’s objections. The hearing is continuing.

VOLUNTEERS WANTEdFOR dOG PARK

FENELON FALLS - If many hands make light work, then many paws will be happy in Fenelon Falls and area. Fenelon Falls resident Catherine Couchman is looking for volunteers to help her with her idea of building an off-leash dog park in town. The idea came about during community consultations last spring but Couchman said she needs volunteers to help her as, so far, the team consists of “me, myself and I. I could use a lot of hands. There are a lot of tasks to be done. Many hands make light work.” So far, Couchman said it had been a “very amazing learning experience” contacting and visiting a number of off-leash dog parks, including the new Lindsay one at Ken Reid Conservation Area, which has given her “voluminous information on how to proceed.” She said the immediate goal is to find a location in Fenelon Falls that provides easy access to locals, visitors and boaters. Ideally, she would like to see it close to the downtown core so it also benefits businesses. Her personal choice would be ‘the island’ a grassy park adjacent to the lock and where LockJam is held every year. She said she would like part of it fenced off but noted it would be surrounded by water. She doesn’t even know who owns the land. Finding that out is just one task for a willing volunteer to take on, as would be looking into possible sources of funding. And, then there would be the question of construction, maintenance and signage. “There is a lot of groundwork to do.” However, Couchman, who owns a dog named Farley, is passionate about the cause. She does take Farley to the Lindsay dog park but would love one closer to home since Farley has to stay on his leash for short walks in the village or to accompany Couchman on her bike. He could be running around chasing the Frisbee and socializing with other dogs. To volunteer, or for information, contact Catherine via e-mail at [email protected]

FIRST BOATERSPETERBOROUGH - In order to mark the opening of the Trent- Severn Waterway for navigation, the Parks Canada team was happy to welcome the first boaters of the 2014 season, Donna and Glen Maclean. Donna and Glen (pictured in Bobcaygeon) were presented with a kit of Parks Canada brand products. Parks Canada also reminds boaters that they can still purchase their seasonal lockage and mooring permit by visiting its website: http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/lhn- nhs/on/trentsevern/index.aspx

CITY TAKES OVER SEWER KAWARTHA LAKES - Effective June 2, the city will be managing and delivering the Part 8 Sewage System Program in our municipality. Historically, the Haliburton Kawartha Pine

Ridge District Health Unit has delivered the program locally and been responsible for issuing permits and inspecting private septic systems in Kawartha Lakes. They informed the city last fall they would no longer be providing that service. As a result, a comprehensive review of the options available to the city was completed and the decision made to create a dedicated in-house team of two full-time staff to oversee and manage the program moving forward. The benefits to residents are numerous, the city said in a press release. The permit fee structure previously set by the health unit will be lower. Additionally, all service centres in Kawartha Lakes will accept permits so residents do not have to travel to Lindsay to file their applications. It will also create a one-stop shopping experience for residents to take advantage of different programs under one roof, including the delivery of a re-inspection program, as mandated by the Ontario Building Code and in conjunction with the source water protection programs, public Outreach and Education, and coordination with the city’s septic rehabilitation loan program. Anne Elmhirst has been hired. She has worked at the health unit for the past nine years as a public health inspector specializing in the sewage system program and as the primary inspector for the city performing all application reviews, permit issuance, on-site inspections, enforcement and customer service duties associated with the program.

SAVE THE MEdICAL CENTRE

FENELON FALLS – A community co-op, established to save the Fenelon Falls medical centre building, held an information meeting Wednesday (May 28) with promises of more to come. Local residents formed the non-profit co-op when they learned that the village’s medical centre was up for sale. The board of directors comprises people such as Grant Allman, Wayne Jolly, Vivian Martell and Mike Perry. Their plan is to sell memberships and take pledges for community bonds to buy the building and keep health care in local hands. For more information, contact Perry 705-880-2020

Don't Wait for a Funeral to Celebrate

Have you said, “The only time I see my relatives is at weddings and funerals”? If your family is like mine, years could pass without seeing each other. Every time we are together, we all say, “We should do this more often.” But it ends there.

There is something to be said about the value of gathering together just for the sake of being with extended family.

Listen to Uncle Lester retell his story about getting lost in Montreal for three days on his way to Alberta. Or great-aunt Mildred sharing what it was like to have to leave school to look after her brothers and sisters when her mother died.

We have an uncle in our family who will be turning 100 in August. Through all the ups and downs of life, he has never lost his sense of humour. The hall in town has been rented and plans made. Relatives from near and far will descend on Lockeport, Nova Scotia to be part of this celebration.

Maybe it is time for a family party that is neither a wedding nor a funeral. It doesn't have to cost a lot of money – potluck would be great. Family from out of town would love to spend a night on your saggy pullout sofa. You will probably stay up half the night telling “Remember when….” stories.

Right now, the weather isn't conducive to having a picnic, but it is perfect for planning one. Create a new folder on your computer called “Picnic 2014”. Make notes to your heart's content. I can promise you won't regret it.

Barbara Bush wrote, “At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.”

Happy Planning!

if you had attended one funeral, you had attended all. There seemed to be one kind of funeral. Most families attended church, so their pastor would prepare a Christian ceremony with hymns, scriptures and a sermon. Eulogies were unheard of.

In 2014, many families do not attend church, and this traditional service that was in place for a hundred years is not what most are looking for.

Funeral homes have taken a long time to catch up, but we are now able to accommodate most families' wishes.

We are prepared to facilitate whatever type of memorialization you would like. We can include your music, display your photos, create a keepsake DVD with your photos and display artwork and other objects that reflect the life of your loved one.

We can connect you with a celebrant or a pastor who will carry out your wishes. At your request, we will drop the suits and ties that sometimes create a formal and uncomfortable atmosphere. We want your family to leave feeling that you received tremendous support from guests and staff alike.

It has always been

our goal to create

a warm, homelike atmosphere in which to support you at a difficult time.

There was a

time when...

SLURP ANd BURPPICKEd UP

KAWARTHA LAKES - A local author and her illustrator great-niece have had their children’s book ‘’Slurp and Burp – Finding a New Home” picked up by Apple. Linda Oliver is the writer and Adelle Staples the artist for the book. Linda, who lives in the Fenelon Falls area, has a background in education and this is the first in a series of books targeted at primary-aged children. “Slurp and Blurp” is written with rhyming text to entertain and encourage young readers and has a subliminal environmental message to heighten children’s awareness of the importance of taking care of our world. “To summarize, Slurp and Blurp are two fish who are forced to leave their pond when the water becomes too polluted. Fortunately “Dirk the Duck’ swims by and leads them to safer water, but, Slurp and Blurp ask the children of the world to “keep our world a cleaner place to be”. Adelle lives in the Bobcaygeon area and is currently enrolled in the Fine Arts Program at Algoma University. She told us, “I am really excited about the book. I love the message that it portrays. As a young artist, nature and wildlife is very important to me and the content of my paintings and being able to use art to help portray Linda’s idea and message to the younger generations that will eventually be caring for this planet is an area that I am passionate about.” Linda said the family is very proud of her work “and initially developing my books was just a fun family project - quality time spent together doing something we both enjoy. So, when I received an e-mail in April that Apple had picked up our first book it was a huge surprise.” Currently, Linda and Adelle are working on

COBY TO GET ITS BIKES BACK

COBOCONK - Coboconk will be getting its colourful bicycles back. After the Ministry of Transportation removed the bicycles, chamber of commerce executive director Jennifer Wilson met with a representative of the MTO on Monday, May 27. Wilson said the meeting went well. She said she walked around

town with the MTO representative to determine where the bicycles could be placed. She emphasized that private property is the best place and encouraged business owners to get in touch with her if they are interested in having one of the bicycles on their property She said the main thing is that they are not placed on bridges or guardrails or obstructing sidewalks. Wilson wanted to thank all of the people who had spoken out on the issue.

CHAMBER COLUMN

Unlock the summer a go, street flowers maybe no The Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce has good news and bad news. The good news is Unlock the Summer, the family-oriented celebration that says goodbye to the winter blues and hello to the summer’s warmth, will go on as scheduled. The Trent-Severn Lock 32 park will host four entertainers and our own Bobcyageon Choristers at various times during the day. The Saturday, June 14 event will also include the popular soap box derby on Canal Street. Brush Strokes’ artists and artisans will mount an exhibit and sale of their works at the park, Lakes Church will host a come-and-do crafts area for our youth and the Marine Modellers will show off their watercraft. The bad news is that Bobcaygeon’s main streets may not have hanging flower baskets this summer. Despite all the chamber’s efforts, fundraising has gone badly and few sponsors have stepped forward. In large part, chamber president Susan Paradoski says it’s because of the savage winter we all barely endured and which has impacted the bottom lines of just about all our businesses. There are other funding sources out there, she adds, and this mention in The Kawartha Promoter is aimed at business owners in the hopes that they will donate.Bob Hughes, Secretary

welcome to attend. Trained volunteers will provide participants with instruction and supervision in the low impact exercise that uses many more muscles than regular walking and burns more calories.

Walking poles are provided to participants, although people who have their own poles are encouraged to bring them. The sessions are open to all ages.

Roots & RamblingsBy Diane HearseBobcaygeon & District Horticultural Society No matter how well you plan or how good the quality of the plants you purchase, it is important to look at the soil the plants are going into each growing season. Always work soils that are of the proper moisture content. Working soils too soon in the spring when they are still wet will result in damage to the soil structure. These soils become very hard, poorly drained and poorly aerated. Test before you dig by taking some soil and squeezing it into a ball in your

hand. Touch the ball. If it crumbles readily the soil is safe to work. If it remains in a tight ball, it is too wet and you should not work it until it has a chance to dry out further. However, this is still a great time to clean up the beds and rid them of weeds. Once the beds are dry enough to be worked, most soils are in need of a spring tonic. All gardens benefit from the incorporation of organic matter to help improve soil texture, aeration and drainage. Apply materials such as peat, compost, leaves, grass clippings, and manure. This will mean adding approximately three to four inches of organic matter to the top six to eight inches of soil. After thoroughly working all of the material into the bed, rake the area level and you are ready to plant. This will ensure that your annuals develop healthy root growth producing strong, pest resistant plants with bountiful flowers throughout the growing season. If you want to take advantage of some wonderful local plants that grow well in Bobcaygeon, don’t miss The Bobcaygeon & District Horticultural plant sale, Saturday May 31st at Kawartha Settlers’ Village, 85 Dunn Street starting at 9:30am. Happy gardening.

Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long and not with your head

bowed low.Remember the love that we once shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey that we

all must take and each must go alone. It’s all a part of the Master plan, a step on the road to home. When

you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.

NEW dOCFOR 2016

KAWARTHA LAKES: Jill Caines will begin a practice of family medicine following the completion of her family medicine

residency in 2016. The Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative (KLHCI) made the announcement earlier this month about Caines, who studied medicine at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine and will receive her MD in June 2014. She will begin the Family Medicine Residency Program at Queen’s University (Bowmanville-Oshawa site) on July 1, 2014. “It has been a pleasure to assist Jill with elective opportunities in the City of Kawartha Lakes during her medical school training. These electives helped her decide that this is where she would

like to practice family medicine in the future,” said KLHCI recruitment and retention coordinator Cindy Snider. KLHCI is providing financial support and is pleased to have a newcomer with other area doctors starting to think about retirement. Snider said, “The continued recruitment of family doctors to the (city) means that the number of unattached patients, and those traveling long distances to see a family doctor, is being reduced.” Caines said, “Over my four years of training I have had the opportunity to learn from a number of physicians here in the area through KLHCI. These experiences were great for learning – especially at the Ross – and reinforced my commitment to work in the area. I would like to thank Cindy and KLHCI for their support. I am very excited to live and work here in the City of Kawartha Lakes.” Being a resident of the city, Caines is looking forward to spending more time at home with husband and Fenelon Falls native Mike Perry. * Anyone currently looking for a family doctor is asked to contact Health Care Connect at 1-800-445-1822 or www.ontario.ca/healthcareconnect. * KLHCI is a non-profit, charitable organization with a mandate to recruit and retain family doctors. Anyone wishing to be part of this community effort by either volunteering or donating financially should contact Snider at 705-328-6098 or [email protected], or visit the KLHCI website at www.kawarthalakesdoctors.org.

Thank you.As Vice-Chair of the Kawartha Health Care Initiative, I appreciate theservice local doctors provide to our communities and I’m proud that

we’re the insurance provider of choice for many physicians.

Question: “The cost of hydro, natural gas and propane is killing me. What are you going to do about it?”

Question: “I scraped together enough money to send my kid to college. She is coming out with debt and very little in the way of local job prospects. Why should I vote for you?”

Rick Johnson - LiberalAnswer: We are taking action to reduce electricity system costs and ensure electricity bills are affordable. We will remove the Debt Retirement Charge from residential electricity bills, and create an Ontario Electricity Support Program to help low-income families with

their costs. Ontario Liberals are still cleaning up the mess we inherited from the Hudak-Scott PCs, who let our energy infrastructure completely fall apart. Tim Hudak’s new energy plan would kill jobs and drive hydro rates even higher. Instead, we have invested $21 billion to modernize the system, and ensure you have the power you need, when you

need it. Answer: Ontario Liberals have a plan to bring security and opportunity to all Ontarians, and most importantly, to our young people. I have two children and I know how important it is for them to find opportunities after graduation. We wanted to keep tuition affordable, so we introduced the 30% Off Tuition Grant – supporting 230,000 students last year. Our Youth Jobs Strategy has already created over 11,000 jobs, and more will follow. Finally, our $2.5 billion Jobs and Prosperity Fund will continue to build on the progress we’ve made – in April, Ontario created 25,800 full-time jobs, with 13,700 new manufacturing jobs.

Laurie Scott - PCAnswer: “Nothing has been more damaging to household budgets and to our economy then Ontario’s soaring energy prices. Household hydro rates have more than tripled under the liberals and are driving our small businesses out of business.

Under the Ontario PC’s Million Jobs Plan we will get energy prices under control and reclaim one of Ontario’s traditional economic strengths – affordable energy. Our plan will stop expensive power subsides

for wind and solar projects and bring accountability back to Hydro One.Hydro bills will be lower under the Ontario PC’s with the average family saving $384 on their hydro bills. Answer:“Right now in Ontario more than a million people are looking for work and our youth unemployment rate is 16.5%. We are facing a jobs crisis in this province and many people are moving west to find work. That is why it is more important then ever to put the focus back on creating jobs and our economy. Our Million Jobs Plan will make energy affordable, lower taxes and rein in government spending, promote skilled trades and lower apprentice ratios, eliminate red tape on small businesses so that they can hire more people and finally balance the province’s books while eliminating the debt.”

don Abel – NdPAnswer: Major changes to our hydro system, and regulations on the pricing of gas and propane is needed to make life more affordable for Ontarians. Removing the provincial portion of the HST from hydro bills would be the first

step. Dealing with the current mismanagement of hydro would be the next step. The fact that Ontario loses a billion dollars a year exporting discount electricity to neighboring jurisdictions is just another example of an electricity system that doesn’t make sense. The NDP plan to merge agencies, cap CEO pay and use direct trading to get a better price for Ontario’s electricity exports. We are offering sensible steps to reduce hydro prices and ensure that our hydro system is publicly owned and publicly accountable. Our plan will save millions of dollars and help deliver more affordable rates for Ontarians. Answer: Job creation is another major concern in this province. People across Ontario are struggling with unemployment rates that are way too high. New Democrats have a sensible plan to put people to work. It’s simple: if you put people to work, you earn a tax break. We will reward companies that create jobs with a Job Creation Tax credit that will pay 10% of the salary of new employees to a maximum value of $5,000 per job. While the Liberals and the Conservatives alike are sticking to no-strings-attached corporate tax giveaways that don’t create jobs, New Democrats are ready to make job creation a priority by making smart investments and working with the real job creators.

Arsalan Ahmed – Green Party Answer: Canceling the refurbishment of expensive nuclear plants and purchasing low cost water power will save Ontario $1 billion per year. $4 billion invested in energy conservation (including grants to retrofit homes to make

them more energy efficient) over four years will create at least 56,000 jobs. We can cut home energy costs even as energy prices rise. It’s not magic: it’s conservation. Political games like hydro rebate gimmicks won’t work and they waste money. Investments in conservation do work. They put money in your pocket and increase the value of your home. They create jobs and reduce pollution. These jobs are not only in construction and trades, but also in clean-tech innovation and manufacturing, which is presently worth $3 trillion and is expected to double in the next decade.

Answer: Young adults today have more education than any generation that has come before them, and have skills and knowledge to contribute meaningfully to their communities. But young adults have twice the unemployment rate of older Ontarians. It’s bad for the economy, bad for their health, and tough on their families. Your Green MPPs will lay the groundwork for a Social Innovation Foundation. The SIF will provide grants, loans, and mentorship to help young entrepreneurs invent and implement solutions to problems we face. The foundation will be funded by diverting money for corporate grants in regional development funds and further supported through tools such as crowd-sourced funding and

RRSP-eligible community bonds. We’ll start with $300 million and build from there.

ANd RBC GARdEN LINdSAY - On Earth Day in 2011, the Ross Memorial Hospital’s Go Green team encouraged all departments in the hospital to “adopt” a garden. There are now six gardens at RMH, varying in size. The project is an effort to ensure the grounds remain beautiful yet cost-effective to maintain. It’s also a great way for staff to show some pride in their hospital by volunteering their time. On Saturday, May 10, Ross green-thumbs received help with garden clean-up when 10 volunteers from Lindsay’s RBC branch came to pitch in as part of the RBC Community Service Project. The team worked at the gardens in front of the hospital and along Angeline Street, which sees the greatest amount of traffic.

LOCAL GIRL GETS BIKELINdSAY - Thanks to sponsors and community members, organizers of the 8th annual Paramedics in the Park in Lindsay May 16 were able to raise more than $1,000 through a barbeque lunch to raise money for a defibrillator for The Kawartha Lakes Food Source in Lindsay. In addition, a bicycle donated by Tim Hortons Lindsay was presented to Chloe Moore of Bobcaygeon Public School, who participated in the Heart Hero Program provided by the City of Kawartha Lakes. It teaches hands-only CPR to Gr. 5 students, who then teach their family and friends. This year, out of the 300-plus students who were taught the program, Chloe had “re-taught” the most people in order to receive the bike. “We are very proud of her and all others who participated in this program,” said community paramedic Autumn Campbell.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) The full moon on June 12 - right in the middle of your phase, Gemini - is known as the flower or strawberry moon. According to the moon teachings of the aboriginals, the medicine of the strawberry is reconciliation. It was during this moon cycle that communities held annual feasts, welcoming everyone home, regardless of their differences over the past year, letting go of judgment and self-righteousness. What a lovely idea!

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Could a summer love be waiting amongst the beautiful Kawartha flower blooms, Cancer? Yes – waiting just for you! Throw off any lingering signs of shyness, and head out into the garden.

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Your social life is on a real roll, Leo. Your friends admire you and enjoy your esprit de corps, for you are a dear and good companion to all!

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) As a Virgo, you value order and harmony in your life. You are also health-conscious. Keep reminding yourself of the worth of having a good mind-body balance, and keep practising meditation, good nutrition and exercise.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Do dark shadows fill your life when you least expect it, Libra? And often for no reason? Sad thoughts occur lots of times to everyone. But if you find yourself sadder and sadder, unable to climb out of a pit of gloom, please find someone to talk to now. Never be ashamed.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) We know you like a good time, Scorpio! At the Bobcaygeon Seniors’ Centre the first Saturday of every month at 8 p.m. it’s Music Night! And you even get to bring your own musical instruments and join the fun. We think it’s just what you need.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) New experiences are taking up much of your time, right now, dear Sag. Perhaps it would be a good time to break away from old habits that are holding you back – you know what we mean. Get goin’!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) There has been deep emotional trauma in your life lately, dear Capricorn. Hold your head up high! You have seen the difference between right and wrong and followed through with your actions. This is the meaning of integrity!

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Aquarius – your zodiac traits tell us you have a strong imagination and are highly intuitive. Revel in this! Let your ideas run wild. Everyone needs some fancy in their life!

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) “In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.”: Albert Camus. Yes, Pisces, the summer for which you have been waiting has arrived, and yes, you will find you are invincible! Everything is possible.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Did you realize, Aries, that different cultures have developed slightly different ways of interpreting the meaning of planetary movements? The Chinese system, for example, intertwines astrology with feng shui, a system of geomancy which determines the most beneficial placement of objects and buildings on earth. This may be something you would like to look into, as something new and germinal.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) In Greek mythology , Taurus was identified with Zeus and the white bull who protected Europea, a Pheonician princess. Is there someone in your life who needs protecting, right now? Reach out. Don’t be afraid of rejection. It is good to care about someone!

The Financial CornerBOBCAYGEON HOUSE TOUR

BOBCAYGEON - This year’s 22nd annual Bobcaygeon House Tour is June 14 from 1 to 5 p.m.The five homes are: THE YOUNG HOME - The owners worked closely

with Confederation Log Homes to create this one-of-a-kind six-bedroom custom family retreat. This home features dove-tailed pine logs, a stunning stone-faced fireplace and wide plank floors with a striking slate tile foyer. The use of strong colours on accent walls is an effective contrast to the wood and stone. Also featured are a custom built tree house and garden shed. Many talented local craftsmen helped to create this dream. THE MOSES HOME - The welcoming garden leads to this relaxing home. Custom built cabinetry, lovely granite countertops and soothing colours have been chosen to complement the striking post and beam construction in the great room. The lower level features a walkout to an inviting sheltered patio highlighting the pergola built by a friend in Buckhorn. THE FEdY HOME - This bright and inviting family home features an open plan on the main floor with a cleverly-designed wall unit in the great room. The lower level has been modified to accommodate family visits and hobbies. The owners’ artistic flair is evident throughout the house and surrounding gardens. THE MILLER HOME - This original home was built in 1874 and moved to its present location. The recently-renovated century home features an inviting wrap-around porch. The owner has tastefully incorporated the modern kitchen so as not to detract from the old-world charm. Not to be missed is the artist’s studio, which effectively blends the old and the new. The attic roof was actually raised to incorporate a new master suite. TIVERTON HOUSE - This Bobcaygeon landmark was raised and converted into a commercial rental by its current owners. They have kept the turn-of-the-century warmth and charm, while adding modern conveniences to this unique three-season home on Sturgeon Lake. The tour is a fundraiser for local charities Tickets are $15 p.p., at My Favourite Things, Purdy’s Jewellery & Gems, Town & Country Decorating Centre and Stokes-on-Trent in Fenelon Falls. Tea and sweets and an art show will be offered at Trinity United Church (included in ticket prices). There are a number of draw prizes. Tickets are $2 each or three for $5 on Saturdays in May and June, in front of Purdy’s Jewellery & Gems on Bolton St., or at the houses on the day.

QUESTION: I would like to start saving for my child’s education but don’t know what to do.

RESPONSE: Often parents make contributions to an RESP (Registered Educational Savings Plan) and don’t give it much further thought. However it is important to first determine the kind of educational program you want which will consider the number of years, as well as annual costs for tuition, accommodation, food, books, transportation and pocket money. Using this information a calculation can be made to determine what monies will be required and in what years. Once these future costs are known then you can look at the financing. A great first step is the RESP program which allows you to make annual contributions (from birth to age 17) of $2,500 per child on which the government will provide a grant of 20%. If this is not enough, the use of In-Trust investment accounts can be considered. Consult a financial advisor who can assist in these projections.
