Eastend is Growing

On June 16th there was a Ratepayers Meeting in Eastend with the Mayor and theTown Councillors. The Mayor, Scott Morvik, made it clear to everyone in atten-dance that this towns agenda is to keep growing and improving. He spoke at lengthtouching on many issues that are of concern to people and provided informationabout actions that have been taken and are about to be taken. Mr. Morvik and theCouncillors present spoke about the continuing efforts they are making to bring theimportant issues here to the attention of provincial ministers and decision makers.

Mayor Morvik pointed out that there was no mill rate increase in 2010. To the con-trary, the surplus from last year is being used to cover the cost of paving on RedCoat Dr. that will begin this summer. An inspection of the sewers on Railways St.will commence shortly with the assistance of the new sewer camera. Repairs will bemade there before work on paving that street can begin. Other infrastructure workwill continue on a year-by-year, street-by-street basis until the requirements of thewhole town have been met.

The Town has hired a full-time staff member to be responsible for the cleanlinessand order of the park and camping facilities. In addition, a summer student has beenhired to assist as necessary. The campground provides significant income and itscondition reflects the attitude we take about our community.

The first tranche of clean up letters have been sent out starting with properties onthe main street. This is a process that will continue yearly one street at a time. TheMayor discussed the sensitivity of this issue but emphasised that orderliness of ourproperties is amongst the first matters to be addressed as the town attracts more newresidents.

ECTA received praise for their hard work and efforts to bring added colour and vis-ual appeal to our streets. They have taken on the responsibility for bringing new lifeto an area on Red Coat Dr. that will serve as a park and relaxation site for both visi-tors and local walkers. Further, ECTA is also funding a video about our school thatwill be valuable in promoting the excellent facilities we have available.

The Mayor discussed the new subdivision on the hill and brought ratepayers up to

date on the status of the expansion. Almost all the services are in and the work haspg. 3

been completed under budget. The first new home is now in place on site and addi-tional lots are being opened up on the North side.

Scott was pleased to announce that Eastend is going to have a full time EMT personin the near future who will be resident in the community. This welcome addition toour local medical services is the result of considerable effort on the part of theMayor, the Town Council and our MLA, Wayne Elhard, in persistently bringingour needs to the attention of the Health Minister. In addition, the Mayor indicated

that they will continue to aggressively represent our interests in expanded healthservices.

Discussion at the meeting was open and candid about numerous other town issues

that continue to be part of every agenda. The Mayor addressed each one in detail

and described the time and effort which he and the Councillors have spent in at-

tempting to focus provincial attention on our specific requirements. While it is pos-

sible to achieve much in rural small towns it is still necessary for provincial leaders

to understand our circumstances and turn their political will to the accomplishment

of the tasks. Scott Morvik made it clear that our elected local leadership takes it as

their mandate to pursue the furtherance of our interests through all political levels.

Eastend is growing and has a vision for itself in which we will all play a significant

role. JK

Veto the Mosquito

Given the deluge of rain were received this spring, were likely in for abumper crop of nasty little bugs and mosquitoes. Theyre already hereand biting like crazy. The one thing that experts agree on is that our firstline of defense against West Nile Virus should be to reduce the condi-tions that mosquitoes need to reproduce. This is habitat control and wecan all participate to make improvements. If we dont have mosquitoesthe disease cant spread to humans or wildlife. Habitat control is the

lowest cost, least toxic, most effective way to lower your risk of con-tracting the disease. Reduce the areas near your home where mosquitoes breed.

Mosquitoes can breed in very small amount of standing water in as little as five days. Aftermating, adult female mosquitoes will take a blood meal by biting a human or animal. Shewill then lay eggs in or near standing water. Once the eggs hatch, the mosquito larvae willlive in the water until they develop into adults. The best way to control mosquito habitat isto eliminate all standing water that mosquitoes need to breed. Because some species ofmosquito need only very small amounts of standing water, citizens must be diligent aboutremoving or fixing places where water can collect.

Here are some examples of items that can provide mosquito breeding habitat:

Buckets, toys or other items in the yard;

Untreated swimming pools;

Pet food and water bowls; Bird baths;

Garbage cans and recycle containers

Outdoor potted plants with drip pans;

Plastic corrugated drain pipe, even if buried underground;

Water features or other artificial water ponds without running water;

Gutters and downspouts that dont drain completely;

Beds of pickup trucks and unused vehicles.

Here are some suggestions for reducing mosquitoes:

Remove all toys, buckets or other items where water may collect or be sure to dumpthem out every couple of days.

Drill 1/4 in. drain holes in garbage and recycle containers that may collect water.

Leave outdoor potted plants without saucers or secure fibreglass screening around themso mosquitoes cannot get in or out of the saucer. Duct tape can be used to secure thescreening.

Thoroughly clean out bird baths and childrens pools at least every 5 days.

Fix and clean out any gutters and downspouts that do not drain properly.

Secure fibreglass screening around ribbed/corrugated drain pipes.

If your pickup bed has a bed liner, rainwater will collect in the bed. Even cars and othervehicles have small spots under the hood or trunk where rainwater can collect. Driveyour car or truck around the block within 5 days of every rainfall to drain this water. Beresponsible for your unused vehicles sitting on the street or in your yard. They are idealhabitat for mosquito breeding.

Cut all tall grass at the edges of your lawn or shrubs.

Prune low branches of shrubs and thin out the dense bottom greenery of hedges to openthem up to air flow. Remove old dead leaves and scrub from the ground around shrub-bery .

The message to all of us is pretty clear: if you want to avoidWest Nile Virus and experience enjoyable hours outdoors,if you want to keep malathion spraying to a minimum (lastyear we did not spray at all) then be responsible for goodhealth practices on your property. However, more than this,for your own good health and the benefit of the communitytake responsibility for un-cut lawns and empty lots in town.Voluntarily cut any grass that needs itor hire someoneto do it for you. Clean out water habitats or the mosquitoes

will be swarming. JK

Movie Review:

Percy Jackson & the Olympians:

The Lightning Thief

Trouble-prone Percy Jackson is having

problems in high school - but that's the

least of his challenges. It's the 21st cen-

tury, but the gods of Mount Olympus

seem to have walked out of the pages of

Percy's Greek mythology texts and into

his life. Percy has learned that his real

father is Poseidon, god of the sea, which

means Percy is a demigod - half human,

half god. At the same time, the powerful

gods on Olympus are feuding, which

could launch a war enveloping our entire

planet.

Now, Percy must prepare for the adven-

ture of a lifetime, and the stakes couldn't

be higher.

With ominous storm clouds brewing over

Earth and his own life now in peril, Percy

travels to a special enclave called Camp

Half Blood, where he trains to harness his

newly discovered powers and prevent a

devastating war among the gods. There,

Percy meets two fellow demigods - the

warrior Annabeth, who is searching for

her mother, the goddess Athena; and his

friend and protector, Grover, who is actu-

ally a brave but untested satyr.

Grover and Annabeth then join Percy on

an incredible transcontinental odyssey that

takes them six hundred stories above New

York City (the portal to Mount Olympus)

and to the iconic Hollywood sign, under

which burn the fires of the Underworld.

At journey's end rests the fate of the world

- and the life of Percy's mother Sally, whom

Percy must rescue from the depths of Hell

itself.
