Tecumseh Tribune 20110407

By: Staff ReporterA 26-year-old Lakeshore

man is facing numerous charges including production of marihuana, after police raided his home on April 2.

The Lakeshore OPP detachment, along with members of the OPP Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau, Drug Enforcement Unit and Community Drug Action Team, executed a search warrant of the home, located at 1042 Major Street

in Lakeshore. Police discovered a

commercial marihuana grow operation that included 1,300 marihuana plants valued at $1.3 million. OPP seized the plants as well as a number of growing equipment used for the plants.

According to the OPP, the growing operation at the home contained a dangerous electric hydro bypass, which resulted in the Lakeshore Fire Service and Ontario Hydro having to attend the

scene. Both crews made sure the home was safe for emergency personnel.

The Lakeshore man accused of the growing operation with face charges including possession of marihuana for the purpose of trafficking, occupant injure dwelling and theft of hydro.

Police say that the investigation is continuing and have asked anyone with information to contact their detachment.

By: Justin SaundersAfter an eight month

long investigation, the OPP Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau (OCEB) and the Windsor Police executed nine search warrants and numerous arrests involving homes and residents of Tecumseh and Windsor.

Police raided the homes and arrested the men involved in the warrant on March 30 and 31. OPP Media Liaison Janet Hayes says their findings after the months long investigation has been very significant.

“To have all the drugs off the street, hopefully it puts a dent in drugs that are out there,” said Hayes. “Hopefully it keeps the accused off the streets.”

Investigators were assisted by officers from other units of the OPP and the OPP detachments of Essex. The majority of drugs seized during the investigation was Ecstasy, Cocaine and Cannabis Marihuana. Among the homes searched including two Tecumseh homes,

located at Heatherglen Drive and Deslippe Street.

Windsor residences raided during the search warrant included homes on Riverside Drive, Bloomfield Road and North Service Road.

According to the OPP, the value of the drugs and property seized during the

search warrants was about $2 million. Four vehicles, one long gun and over $17,000 in Canadian and American currency were also seized during the search warrant.

The street value of drugs found during the warrant is half the total found in 2010 by Windsor Police.

Last year, police seized $4.1 million in drugs, which doubled the count in 2009 which was $1.8 million.

As a result of their findings, six people were arrested and charged including one Tecumseh resident. Twenty-two year old Saroop Singh Pahal,

who resides in Tecumseh was arrested, but police have issued out five outstanding arrest warrants including for two men, 18 year old Alexander Zonjic and 25 year old Gurfathe Kooner, both of Tecumseh.

By: Justin SaundersAfter being the pinch-hitter in the last

election for the Conservatives, Denise Ghanam is ready and prepared for this year’s election.

Ghanam filled in two-days before the election as a result of the previous candidate having to drop out, and found herself in an uphill battle. Still, the Conservatives finished in second place to Comartin’s NDP, in the Windsor-Tecumseh riding, a feat which hadn’t been accomplished for the party in 24 years. At the time, Ghanam saw the beginning of change.

Now, Ghanam is ahead of the game, opening her campaign headquarters on March 31 and is out meeting with her constituents, hearing from people who she says are looking for change.

“They want a strong voice on the right side of the house,” said Ghanam, who is looking for an opportunity to make a positive change in the community.

Ghanam is the mother of three teenage children, Carolyn, Cory and Jacqueline, and is married to Kevin, a Windsor firefighter for the past twenty years. She owns a strategic management consulting company, which specializes in labour market development. The key to her company’s success is due to her 20 years of business experience as well as six years of teaching at the University

of Windsor’s Odette School of Business in management studies. Ghanam has a working resume that includes time at General Motors as well as time spent on three joint national CAW committees. Having spent time with the Reserves, she earned the Canadian Decoration while continuing to be an active member of the Canadian Forces.

Born and raised in Halifax, Ghanam completed her Honours Commerce degree in finance at St. Mary’s University in Halifax, before getting her M.B.A. from the University of Windsor in strategic planning. She is currently completing her doctorate thesis at the UWE Bristol Business School in England.

Getting into politics wasn’t easy for Ghanam who had a family with kids at home to take care of. But with two kids away at college, and the opportunity to make a difference, Ghanam took the plunge and accepted the candidate position from the Prime Minister’s office.

“I had been thinking of running for a while,” said Ghanam. “I knew enough about the party and the platform.”

With election experience under her belt, Ghanam has been meeting with residents in East Windsor and Tecumseh, letting them know that a vote for her will help make the community better. She is looking forward to the election and knows that the incumbent will have tough questions to answer from residents.

“He voted against stimulus funding,” said Ghanam. “His party wants a coalition. Why force us into a unnecessary election?”

Ghanam says that she would be sitting on the government side of the house and can advocate with her colleagues for more funding and help for the area.

“Tecumseh is a great community with lots of potential to develop further,” said Ghanam, who then explained her campaign platform. “My main two areas of focus is economic development and job development. The two have to go hand in hand.”

Looking at the Liberals, Ghanam is concerned about the $8 billion in spending the opposition party is campaigning with.

“It’s permanent spending,” said Ghanam. “Where is it coming from? The only way to do it is to raise corporate and personal tax.”

Ghanam is meeting with Tecumseh mayor Gary McNamara this week to learn what the town’s priorities are and is looking forward to making an impression with the voters in the community.

“I’m confident that I will run well, the rest is up to the people of Windsor-Tecumseh,” said Ghanam. “They will decide the final outcome.”

For more information about Ghanam and her campaign, call 519-962-9044 or visit www.votedenise.ca.

By: Corey RobertsonGlen Mullins, owner of

Cora Lakeshore, is a man of many interests and talents.

In addition to serving up breakfast at his Tecumseh restaurant, he also likes to take to the friendly skies.

Flying out of the Windsor Flight Club, the pre-flight routine is as important as the usual flight rules. From laying out your route in the sky ahead of time and checking the weather, to constructing a flight plan, consisting of a weight and balance check, the checklist is followed to a tee.

The pre-flight walk around consists of a visual inspection of the flaps, alierons, static disipators, wheels, break assembly, fuel gages, propeller, alternator belt, air intake area, windshield, fuselage, and rudder.

With run ups and engine checks complete, communication with Windsor Tower comes next. Flight plans and pesky reporter requests for photo-op fly overs get approved by Air Traffic Control, and clearance is given for takeoff on runway seven.

Already in possession of his pilot’s license, Mullins is working on his IFR certification.

Instrument flight rules (IFR) are a set of regulations and procedures for flying aircraft whereby navigation and obstacle clearance is maintained with reference to aircraft instruments only,

while separation from other aircraft is provided by Air Traffic Control. In layman’s terms, a pilot who is rated for IFR can keep a plane in controlled flight solely on the data provided by his instruments, even if that pilot cannot see anything (useful) out the cockpit

windows; indeed, one of the benefits of these regulations is the ability to fly through clouds, which is otherwise not allowed.

At 600 ft. above sea level, doing 115 knots, sitting in the back of single engine, four-seat aircraft with a pilot simulating zero visibility,

will give any adrenaline junkie the fix you’re looking for, and make even the most seasoned passenger feel the need for speed.

To simulate this effect, Mullins wears a set goggles that prevent him from seeing out the window of the Cesna 172R, only allowing him to

see the instruments in front of him.

The training prepares him to land on a runway when descending out of extreme cloud or fog-like conditions.

To help this process Air Control allows him to descend to 200 ft. on final

approach (the decision level) and then abort his landing, and execute an emergency route away from the airport, and given an alternate runway to land on.

It’s enough to make a little puddle hopper feel like an F-18.

I am nearly one hundred pounds heavier today than I was in 1994. This is not a feat that I am proud of. I was ok with the first forty lbs or so of that weight gain. Call it filling in and finishing growing. But the last sixty lbs of weight gain is really a problem for me that I need to get under control. You may be asking what makes 1994 so special. That was the year I departed my beloved Newfoundland for London, ON to attend seminary are Huron University College. One might have thought that nutritionally, the departure from salt fish, seal meat, fried cod tongues, salt pork, boiled vegetables, salt beef, toutons (fried bread dough), pea’s pudding, etc might have been a move in the right direction. So what could have happened? I had assumed that it may have been overeating, perhaps a lack of exercise, soothing stress with food, all of which would be plausible explanations. But I was wrong! (Note this moment – I am not wrong often...in my own mind).

This week, it all became very clear to me thanks to a study by Matthew Feinstein of Northwestern University in Illinois. He has solved the problem. Simply put his study concludes – Going to church makes young

adults fat! Mr. Feinstein noted: “Our main finding was that people with a high frequency of religious participation in young adulthood were 50 percent more likely to become obese by middle age than those with no religious participation in young adulthood.” I will soon be forty which I think used be known as middle-aged – good golly, this study is about me. So let’s journey back to 1994 once again when I was a young adult. What changed for me in 1994? The biggest single change was the frequency with which I went to church! From once a week, most weeks in NL to every day once I moved to ON and I have been in church almost every day ever since. When you consider all that, it is miracle that I am not 500 lbs! All I can say is “Praise the Lard!”

The writers of the study postulate that this study’s findings may be due to the fact that most churches have lots of events around food – St. Mark’s by-the-Lake is no exception. Like most Anglican churches we do a lot of eating. We are almost known for it; Turkey Dinner, Steak Dinner, Soup Lunches, Meat pies, Coffee Hours and every event has the added tagline... ‘refreshments will be

served.’ When the Roman Catholic child was asked to bring a symbol of her faith to school she brought a crucifix. The Anglican child was asked the same question, he brought a casserole. Going to church is not all bad however. The good news according to Mr. Feinstein is that “on the whole being religious has been shown by many studies to be associated with better mental health, lower smoking rates, lower mortality rates and better overall health status. There are a whole lot of things religious people are doing right, but it’s just this specific area (obesity) where there appears to be room for improvement.” So we are mentally healthy, smoke, free, stress free, happy, fat people. Well, I am not sure where that leaves me. I can’t say of it is conclusive or not, but my weight gain certainly took off when I got to seminary and increased my church attendance. I would also note that I got married while I was in seminary – coincidence? At the end of the day, I guess it really does not matter how I got to where I am today, I have arrived. Now what to do about it! I am overweight. It is therefore clear what I must do – stop going to church!

Or...I guess I could take

control of my heath and my lifestyle. Besides the obvious fact that I am not happy with the way I look, there are the other customary concerns that weight gain brings. Many people in my family have suffered with Diabetes making it a big concern as it puts me at risk to develop type 2 diabetes if I do not lose the weight. So I am making an effort to change. I hope to lose 50 lbs by the end 2011 – pray for me – I need it. Perhaps to help me get moving we will plan an event or two at the church that focuses on exercise. I can’t say with any certainty, but I think people may be less motivated to come to a ‘Long Run and Lenten Bible Study than they would for our ‘Lenten Luncheon and Bible Study.’

Dear Editor, Recently my sister got

married – I remember her walking down the aisle amongst all the people looking at her in awe.

As she took each step her smile became bigger and wider. The reason - she was staring straight into her soon-to-be husband’s eyes. As she stared at him – I couldn’t help but glace over at my parents. They both were glowing with pride and excitement, but my mother in particular.

People have always told my sister that she looks just like our mother – and it’s true – her eyes, her sense of humor and her passion to help those in need.

Mom’s-to-be always

wonder will my child be healthy? Will they have my smile? Will they be successful?

This year, I started working at World Vision and have really been amazed by how similar the concerns of mothers everywhere are.

While mothers in Africa also worry about these things, they worry about something that many mothers here do not – like passing on HIV to their child.

This year for Mother’s Day, I’ve decided to honour my mom by giving her a gift from the World Vision Gift Catalogue.

I want her to know that her gift will help one mother in Africa gain access

to medical treatment and counseling which will help prevent the transmission of HIV to her son or daughter.

I know it will be a gift she will be proud to receive, especially since she passed on her desire to help change the world for the better on to me.

I can’t think of a better way to thank my mom for the values she gave me and I want others to think of purchasing an alternative gift like this for their mother this Mother’s Day and show her that they’ve learned to care from her.

Thank you Maryann Pereira and Happy Mother’s Day.

Sincerely, Alicia Pereira

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Concerns of mothers everywhere

OPP Occurances…

By: Staff ReporterThe town of Tecumseh has four

municipal employees that were on this year’s sunshine list.

The list is available on the Ontario Ministry of Finance website and is open for the public to see. It is meant to record the number of public offi cials who make over $100,000 a year.

Town Treasurer and Director of Financial Services Luc Gagnon made the list, earning $122,348 in 2010, with $824 in taxable benefi ts. Town Chief Administrative Offi cer (CAO) Tony Haddad made $175,206 last year, and $1,199 in benefi ts. Director of Planning Services Brian Hillman, earned $121,788 and received $824 in benefi ts. Laura Moy, Director of Staff Services/Clerk, also made the list, making $122,571 in salary in 2010 and $824 in benefi ts.

Five names made the list in Lakeshore, with town CAO Ruth Coursey making $139,839 and $1,117 in takable benefi ts in 2010. Director of Corporate Services,

Kirk Foran, earned a salary of $121,475 last year, and received $976 in benefi ts. Lee Holling, Director of Community and Development Services received $118,695 and $976 in benefi ts.

All organizations must have had their disclosures and statements in by March and be made public by March 31.

Four Tecumseh workers on sunshine list

The natural disasters that hit Japan on March 11, 2011, are truly a tragedy. Almost anytime there is a natural disaster, however, there is also a market and economic impact. We’ve seen this play out as Japanese stocks have fallen dramatically. Canadian, U.S. and European stock markets declined in sympathy and are now down more than five per cent from their recent highs. Investors may be wondering about the future impact, but it’s too soon to tell, since no one knows whether Japan’s damaged nuclear plants can be controlled safely or when overall electrical power can be restored to the country. However, we expect several effects: Brief stock market impact – The stock market impact is likely to be

brief, as stocks usually react immediately to uncertainty and devastation. Worries about the damaged nuclear plants and their broader economic impact could continue to be negative for stocks until the nuclear plants are stabilized. Stock market sell-offs in response to crisis events tend to be short term because recovery and rebuilding efforts tend to follow rapidly. Historically, stock markets often return to their pre-disaster levels about a month after these events occur.

Appropriate policy response – The Bank of Japan has acted quickly to increase the cash in the financial system to help ensure money is available and to help stabilize the markets. Despite high deficits, the Japanese government will increase spending to assist people in need and to rebuild.

Slower growth for Japanese economy – Japan’s economy was in recession and declined at an annual rate of 1.3 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2010. Even if the nuclear plants can be controlled safely, the Japanese economy will likely fall into negative territory in the first quarter. Many companies have stopped production, but until power can be restored, it’s not possible to estimate the overall impact. Almost immediately, though, rebuilding will begin, and that’s a powerful stimulus for economic growth later in the year.

The Japanese economy was expected to grow 1.5 per cent in 2011, but it will undoubtedly be at least a little weaker.

Global economy still stable – Japan is the third-largest country measured by gross domestic product (GDP), but its economy wasn’t expected to grow much in 2011. Japan’s oil consumption is expected to be lower, causing oil prices to drop in response. And the Saudi Arabian protest planned for last Friday did not cause any concerns for that government. Lower oil prices are a positive for the rest of the world. In addition, Europe has expanded its rescue fund, which reduced the risks of European debt.

No one could have anticipated the largest earthquake in Japan’s history, and our thoughts are certainly with everyone impacted by this tragedy. But remember, it’s not a reason to alter a long-term investment strategy. Sharp stock market declines are distressing, but they end as unexpectedly as they begin. Selling into a market panic is not an appropriate response. Staying invested, focusing on quality and owning a well-diversified portfolio of investments can help investors weather unexpected global events and achieve their financial goals.

If you are a student, take advantage of all the tax credits and deductions to which you are entitled. While you may think you are only eligible for education-related credits while attending school in Canada, you may also qualify for tax credits for overseas and/or online studies. You may also be eligible to receive credits that are available to all qualifying Ontarians, provided you file a tax return.

To make sure you receive all of the credits for which you are authorized, consider these tips from Chartered Accountant Julie Robson, Associate Director of the Master of Taxation Program at the University of Waterloo’s School of Accounting and Finance.

Claim for study outside Canada – “There are three tax credits related to being a student: The Education Tax Credit, the Textbook Tax

Credit and the Tuition Tax Credit,” explains Robson. “All three are available for studies outside Canada under the right circumstances.” To be eligible for the Education and Textbook Tax Credits, your study outside Canada must be a course of at least 13 consecutive weeks and in a post-secondary-level program at a university that leads to a degree. The foreign country’s accrediting body must recognize the school as an educational institution that confers degrees at a minimum of the bachelor’s level or equivalent.

“This is more restrictive than the rules for study within Canada, in that studies at a community college outside Canada do not qualify, except where the student lived in Canada near the border with the United States and the student commuted to the college in the United States,” says Robson. “Full-time students

studying outside Canada can claim a Tuition Tax Credit for tuition fees paid to the university. Again, this is tighter than the rules applying to study inside Canada, in that part-time students studying outside Canada cannot claim the Tuition Tax Credit (unless the part-time students are commuting to the United States).

Claim for online studies – “Students taking online courses can qualify for the Education and Textbook credits,” says Robson. “For online study through Canadian institutions, tuition credits are also allowed.” If you are doing online coursework at a foreign university, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) must consider you to be attending full-time before you are eligible for the Tuition Credit. “The CRA’s current position is that online studies may constitute full-time attendance if students are required to participate in regularly scheduled interactive learning sessions,” adds Robson. “Again, to be eligible, the foreign post-secondary course must be 13 consecutive weeks and lead to a degree.”

Claim the Public Transit Tax Credit – “A student or student’s spouse may claim a credit equal to 15 per cent of the cost of a public transit pass or electronic payment card for the use of public commuter transit services,” says Robson. “The pass or card must have unlimited rights of usage for specified periods or meet usage requirements.”

Claim the Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit – “The new Ontario Energy

and Property Tax Credit will be available to students if they pay rent or property tax for a principal residence in Ontario and were living in Ontario on December 31, 2010,” says Robson. “The maximum credit is $900 for 2010, and is reduced by two per cent of income over $20,000. You must file a 2010 personal income tax return to receive this refundable credit.”

Claim the Ontario Sales Tax Credit – “The new Ontario Sales Tax Credit is available to an Ontario resident who is a resident of Canada for tax purposes and who is 19 years of age or older at the beginning of the month before the month that the credit instalment is paid,” explains Robson. “This refundable credit provides up to $260 a year and is reduced by four per cent of income over $20,000.” You must file a 2010 personal income tax return to receive this credit.

Claim the Ontario Sales Tax Transition Benefit – “This benefit provides three tax-free payments to Ontario residents to assist with the transition to the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST),” says Robson. “The maximum refundable benefit is $300 and is clawed back when 2010 income reaches $80,000.” To receive this benefit, you must be living in Ontario on the last day of the month before the month in which the payment is made. You must also be a resident of Canada for tax purposes and file 2009 and 2010 tax returns by April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2012 respectively.

If you are a student, take advantage of all the tax credits and deductions to which you are entitled. While you may think you are only eligible for education-related credits while attending school in Canada, you may also qualify for tax credits for overseas and/or online studies. You may also be eligible to receive credits that are available to all qualifying Ontarians, provided you file a tax return.

To make sure you receive all of the credits for which you are authorized, consider these tips from Chartered Accountant Julie Robson, Associate Director of the Master of Taxation Program at the University of Waterloo’s School of Accounting and Finance.

Claim for study outside Canada – “There are three tax credits related to being a student: The Education Tax Credit, the Textbook Tax Credit and the Tuition Tax Credit,” explains Robson. “All three are available for studies outside Canada under the right circumstances.” To be eligible for the Education and Textbook Tax Credits, your study outside Canada must be a course of at least 13 consecutive weeks and in a post-secondary-level program at a university

that leads to a degree. The foreign country’s accrediting body must recognize the school as an educational institution that confers degrees at a minimum of the bachelor’s level or equivalent.

“This is more restrictive than the rules for study within Canada, in that studies at a community college outside Canada do not qualify, except where the student lived in Canada near the border with the United States and the student commuted to the college in the United States,” says Robson. “Full-time students studying outside Canada can claim a Tuition Tax Credit for tuition fees paid to the university. Again, this is tighter than the rules applying to study inside Canada, in that part-time students studying outside Canada cannot claim the Tuition Tax Credit (unless the part-time students are commuting to the United States).

Claim for online studies – “Students taking online courses can qualify for the Education and Textbook credits,” says Robson. “For online study through Canadian institutions, tuition credits are also allowed.” If you are doing online coursework at a foreign university, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) must consider you to be attending

full-time before you are eligible for the Tuition Credit. “The CRA’s current position is that online studies may constitute full-time attendance if students are required to participate in regularly scheduled interactive learning sessions,” adds Robson. “Again, to be eligible, the foreign post-secondary course must be 13 consecutive weeks and lead to a degree.”

Claim the Public Transit Tax Credit – “A student or student’s spouse may claim a credit equal to 15 per cent of the cost of a public transit pass or electronic payment card for the use of public commuter transit services,” says Robson. “The pass or card must have unlimited rights of usage for specified periods or meet usage requirements.”

Claim the Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit – “The new Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit will be available to students if they pay rent or property tax for a principal residence in Ontario and were living in Ontario on December 31, 2010,” says Robson. “The maximum credit is $900 for 2010, and is reduced by two per cent of income over $20,000. You must file a 2010 personal income tax return to receive this refundable credit.”

You must also be a resident of Canada for tax purposes and file 2009 and 2010 tax returns by April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2012 respectively.

Saints win in Niagara

By: Justin Saunders and Corey Robertson

After losing a couple of close games to the Wheatley Sharks, the Belle River Canadiens finished strong in game seven and repeated as Great Lakes Junior C League champions.

Over 1,200 people packed Lakeshore Arena to see the last game in the series on April 4, where the Canadiens came on top, 4-1.

Belle River had the Sharks on the ropes in game five on April 1, with the series at 3-1 and the chance to win at home. Wheatley played hard during the game and came out on top in overtime 5-4, with a goal by Jesse Martin, silencing most of the Canadiens fans in attendance. Chris DiNatale, Nik Dobrich, Kevin Curridor and Matt Todd added goals for Belle River in the defeat.

In Game six in Wheatley on April 3, the Canadiens looked to finally eliminate

the Sharks, but slipped in overtime, with Wheatley defeating Belle River 6-5. Kurtis Ouellette scored the overtime winner for the Sharks who pushed the Canadiens to game seven in Lakeshore. Chris DiNatale scored two for Belle River while Shane Noel, Travis Brown and Brett Hickey had singles for the Canadiens, who had to look to the last game of the series to finish off Wheatley.

“We’re playing two teams,” said Belle River fan Jason Labbee of game six. “The Sharks and the refs.”

The Belle River Canadiens came out of the first period in game seven the next night, determined to not give Wheatley an inch, while keeping the game scoreless until the second period. Wheatley got on board first with a goal from Dylan Cosford, but the Canadiens responded back minutes later with a goal by Chris DiNatale to tie

the game 1-1. Early in the third period, with a faceoff in the Sharks’ end, Belle River’s Cole Chevalier scored the game winner from the blue line, giving the Canadiens a 2-1 lead. Travis Brown and Branden Larocque added helpers to secure the win, and give Belle River their second straight Great Lakes title.

President of the Belle River Canadiens, Greg McDonough is excited to see his team win back to back Junior C titles, but credits the Wheatley Sharks for their hard work throughout the series.

“Our hats are off to them. They turned that organization around,” said McDonough of the Wheatley team officials. “Both sides enjoyed going to each other’s rinks and the fans enjoyed the series. That’s what good sports is all about.”

McDonough added that among the over 1,200 fans

that turned out, 25 per cent were Wheatley fans, and many came up to him and said they’ve never been into a nicer atmosphere.

“It’s nice to see,” said McDonough.

The Canadiens now go

on to the “final four” of the provincial semi-finals, facing off against the Grimbsy Peach Kings of the Niagara District Junior C League, in a best of seven series. The Peach Kings beat the Norwich Merchants in

their championship series, four games to three. For information on the schedule of the series, go to www.bellerivercanadiens.com or call 519-727-5906.

Common CanCer myths

During National Cancer Awareness Month let’s take stock of all the false information which is circulating on the Internet and arriving with your e-mails.

The most pervasive rumour is about antiperspirants causing breast cancer. Many in-depth studies have been carried out on this subject and researchers have concluded that the risk of breast cancer does not increase with the use of antiperspirants or deodorants. The principal role of perspiration is to regulate body temperature. Its absence does not lead to negative effects on the human body and definitely does not cause cancer.

Another false rumour concerns the reuse of disposable water bottles, which supposedly release toxic substances. The only risk which the reuse of these bottles incurs concerns

hygiene. If the bottles are not properly cleaned and dried, harmful germs could grow causing vomiting and diarrhea if ingested. Indeed, the same thing could occur with other containers, disposable or otherwise, without causing cancer.

There is no need for concern regarding food additives, sunless tanning products, oyster sauce, soya sauce or feminine tampons either. The fabrication of consumer products is regulated extensively by different levels of government in order to protect our health. However, attention should be paid to plastic containers. They can only be used safely in microwave ovens if they are designed for this purpose.

Put an end to these rumours by visiting the Canadian Cancer

Society’s Web site at www.cancer.ca and look under the heading “Cancer myths.”

Ekblad will get a chance to see his dream turn into reality next season.

The 15-year-old Sun County Panthers product was granted with exceptional player status after a series of tests from Hockey Canada, in order to be eligible for the OHL draft May 7.

Ekblad is the first player to be granted the status

since former OHL star and current New York Islander John Tavares was granted it

in May 2005. OHL scouts consider him to be the best player available in the draft, and the Barrie Colts hold the top pick.

Among the tests administered to Ekblad included a special evaluation panel which evaluated his hockey and academic documentation and assessed his level of maturity. The six-week long review was conducted by five panel members, with three

reviewing his academic ability and a psychologist to determine his maturity level. Eventually the panel made the unanimous choice to allow Ekblad into the OHL.

The six-foot three, 200 pound defenceman, who turned 15 on Feb. 7, has recorded 34 points in 30 games, as well as 21 points in 18 playoff games with the Sun County Panthers minor midget AAA team.

The GPS, your new ally

Most of us have heard about the newest electronic devices for motorists: the GPS navigation system. In many cases, it is available as an option on newer cars and usually comes with a highly developed system that lets you record addresses and find major attractions. Eventually, it will probably be combined with a few other options that will complete its functions.

But for many people, the integrated GPS navigation system is either too expensive, or it is simply unavailable

on their vehicle. Consequently, buying an aftermarket GPS device can be a very wise move, especially if you like traveling or if your work requires that you travel a lot. Some of these small devices are offered at a very reasonable and affordable price and provide drivers with basic, yet sufficiently precise information for their travels in Canada and the United States. However, make sure that the device you purchase can track down some of the furthest destinations.

As well, when renting a vehicle, you can ask for a car with a GPS, even if you are traveling in Europe and renting a local car. According to most travel publications, more than half the cars p r o v i d e d by rental c o m p a n i e s have such an option; a must if you are traveling in a country where you don’t understand the language.The GPS navigation system is one of the motorist’s best allies.

Traveling at night, safe or unsafe?

Many motorists like to travel at night when leaving on vacation. They all have their reasons, but most choose to because there are fewer cars on the road and traffic jams are less likely to happen. On the other hand, traveling with young children at night is easier since they will most probably be asleep.

is it really a good idea? Not necessarily. Still, if you insist on traveling at night, consider this advice: First of all, do not leave in the middle of the night without being sure you are well rested. Make sure that all your lights and lamps are working properly. You not only want to see clearly, you also want to be seen. And be aware that animals, small and large such as deer, also prefer to travel at night, when it’s dark.

Make sure your windshield is clean to avoid glare from oncoming traffic. If it’s a cool night, try not to overheat the interior of the car, as warmth could make you sleepy. What’s more, be sure to stock up on safety items such as flares and flashlights in case of a car problem.

Finally, make sure your cell phone or other communications devices are in good order.

Their failure at night can be dangerous and you don’t want to be stranded on a lonely road waiting for help that might only come on the next day.

If you expect to be driving at night, be sure all the lights on your car are functioning properly.

Driving hands-

freeMore and more provinces and

states are passing laws that forbid driving on their roads with a hand-held device, such as the telephone. Are you aware of those areas where driving hands-free is mandatory?

Before traveling to other provinces or states this summer, make sure you know the exact laws concerning such a practice. Remember that you cannot plead ignorance if you are caught by an officer of the law with such a device in your hands. As a matter of fact, you cannot plead ignorance to ANY local laws, including turning right on a red light, a law that is in force most everywhere across North America, with the exception of a few large cities such as Montreal and New York.

Consequently, do not take chances. Get a hands-free telephone before traveling. Although hand-held phones may have been allowed the last time you were in a specific area, the law may have recently changed without your being aware. If caught, you may be lucky and get away with a simple warning, but in most cases, you will get a ticket, even though your licence plates indicate that you are a visitor. Remember that you cannot plead ignorance!

Driving in other countriesAre you planning a trip to a foreign country?

Are you planning to drive there or to rent a car in that country? There are quite a few rules to observe before your great adventure. First of all, according to major travel publications, it would be best not to drive in a country where you have no understanding of the language, especially if you can’t read the alphabet.

Driving within Canada and the United States is easy for just about anyone. But if you intend on going further south, such as Mexico, be aware that your insurance may not cover you fully. Travel experts will suggest that you buy a short-term policy on the Internet or via your insurance agency

to cover you against liability and theft. Prices will vary according to your demands and expectations.

If you expect to rent a car abroad, be sure to read each and every little detail in the contract or have it explained to you in detail. It would be advisable to get a vehicle that has no markings identifying it to the rental company. Such a detail makes the vehicle an easy target for criminals.

And if possible, try to rent a vehicle with a GPS unit which may come in very handy in areas that will most likely be unfamiliar to you and your passengers. If you are uneasy with this advice, it may be better to use public transportation or to arrange for a chauffeur-driven vehicle. Be sure to know how to drive in foreign countries.

In most places today, hand-held communication devices are not accepted.

Hypnosis is a state of focused consciousness. Your hypnotherapist will assist you in learning how to achieve this state by guiding you into it.

Once this has been achieved, you will then receive what are called hypnotic suggestions. These

suggestions will enable you to use the power of hypnosis in your life and make the changes you desire.

Hypnosis is a tool that can help you just, like it has helped millions of other people to take back control of their lives.

Hypnosis can help you

change old habits and to provide you with motivation to do the things that you may have been putting off.

Hypnosis has been sanctioned and used by the medical community since 1958 to help patients overcome chronic pain, create anesthesia, and heal

psychogenic illnesses.Hypnosis and self-

hypnosis have been shown to be effective in reducing stress and stress-related illnesses.

Hypnosis has also been shown to help mothers give birth to their children with little or no pain.

Hypnosis is safe. It is very similar to experiencing a daydream. Usually you will feel relaxed when doing hypnosis.

Hypnosis in and of itself is a very pleasant experience. It is a time to let go of the other thoughts of the day and focus on the issues you came in to work on.

Scientist, medical professionals, psychologists and hypnotherapists have been using hypnosis for over 200 years and no one has ever been hurt by simply going into hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy is the applied use of hypnosis. Therapy can be defi ned as anything that is done to move someone toward health and wholeness. Thus, hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis to help you move toward health and wholeness.

Hypnotherapy is also used to help you reach goals when nothing else has helped. See the back panel of this brochure to see a list of uses for hypnotherapy.

Self-hypnosis may also be part of a good hypnotherapy program. Ask your hypnotherapist if using self-hypnosis is recommended to help you reach your goals.

Of course you can! You already have been. It’s easy to go into hypnosis and it is a normal state of mind that everyone has already experienced.

In fact, hypnosis is such a normal state of mind, most people usually don’t even realize that they are hypnotized.

Normal, everyday hypnosis occurs when you are driving down the road and lose track of time, or, when you are focusing on a book or television program and you don’t even notice something that is going on around you.

When you come in for hypnosis, all you need to do is to be able to follow the instructions of the hypnotherapist and you can put the power of hypnosis to work for you.

Anyone of at least normal intelligence and the willingness to follow instructions can experience hypnosis and use it to improve his or her life. This includes children and teenagers.

Your hypnotist or hypnotherapist is a highly qualifi ed professional. He or she is certifi ed and registered with the National Guild of Hypnotists.

Your hypnotherapist is bound by professional ethics and the laws of the state in which it is practiced.

In addition, your hypnotherapist has achieved extra certifi cation in the advanced hypnotherapy system called 5-PATH®. Rest assured that he or she will treat you with respect, and that your visits are completely confi dential.

We suggest that you call and speak to us directly so that you can learn more about hypnosis and hypnotherapy. This will allow you to become more familiar with the programs offered and allow us to answer your questions.

Hypnosis can help you succeed when nothing else has worked!

Hypnosis is one of the fastest growing fi elds of human achievement. As hypnotherapists we are working with people who are frustrated because nothing else has helped them achieve their goals.

They have tried every other avenue that they can think of without success. We use hypnosis, hypnotherapy and teach self-hypnosis so that people like you can succeed in making important changes.

By Montague & Hesman Institute of Hypnosis


Don’t live to work, work to live longer and happier!

If you were to measure your typical daily activities on a scale, would your work weigh more than your personal life?

For most, the time committed to work outweighs the time spent with friends and family. More importantly it outweighs the time spent on yourself.

Too often, a choice is made to work through lunch or to bring home unfi nished work. Often you decide to go in early only to end up staying late.

As a result, a vast amount of your energy is given to your work. Any remaining energy then goes to friends and family as you try to maintain those important relationships you have in your life. After that, the only remaining shreds of energy go towards yourself.

Ask yourself; how many times have you come home feeling totally drained? Then ask, is everything you do improving your quality of life? Do you have enough time and energy for personal growth and, most importantly, overall health? If the answer is no, it’s time

Continued from Front page…Zonjic is a distant relative of Windsor

flutist Alexander Zonjic. Kooner was charged with a firearms offence in 2009 after tossing a plastic bag containing two handguns and ammunition out the window of a vehicle he was driving while police chased him. He was arrested at gunpoint at the time, during what police say was a “high risk situation.”

Hayes isn’t sure if Kooner is considered armed and dangerous.

“I wouldn’t say he wouldn’t be,” said Hayes. “Certainly if anyone sees anything, call the police right away, don’t try to apprehend him.”

Thirty-seven controlled drugs and substances act offences and criminal code offences have been laid, which include, trafficking, breach of court

orders, possession of property obtained by crime and firearm related charges.

Hayes says that the investigation is continuing until the people with arrest warrants are caught, but police are satisfied with the results so far.

OPP is asking the public to contact their detachment at 519-723-2491 or call Crimestoppers if they know any information about the case.

[email protected]

Seized

Among the items seized by OPP were vehicles, one long gun and over $17,000 in Canadian and American Currency were also seized during the search warrant.

Photo submitted

By: Staff ReporterAfter a two-month long

investigation, police have determined that five people are connected to the theft of over 35 stolen vehicles recovered at A&L Auto Recyclers in Lakeshore.

The Essex County OPP Criminal Investigations Unit, along with the Provincial Auto Theft Team and the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council concluded the two month long investigation, after it was found that a number of stolen vehicles were at the business, located at 7525

County Road 42. Various automobile parts were also recovered from the confirmed stolen vehicles.

According to the Provincial Auto Theft

Team, A&L was a “large scale chop shop operating under the disguise of a legitimate business.” Over 300 criminal code offences have been laid, which include theft over, possession over and fraudulent concealment. Five people were arrested and charged, including two Lakeshore men, 49 year-old John Lanoue and 43 year-old Jeffrey Lanoue. All five men were released on a promise to appear in court on May 11, while police are still looking for one more suspect.

A&L Auto Recyclers charged as ‘large

chop shop’Five people arrested after two month investigation

OPP began investigating A&L Auto Recyclers in Lakeshore in February. Originally, they said the business was cooperating fully and no one was being charged. Police are now saying the business was a front for a large “chop shop.” Four people have been charged. File photo/Tecumseh Tribune

Price of coffee expected to raise

By: Staff ReporterInstead of just rolling

up the rim to win prizes this spring, customers will be surprised to see Tim Hortons roll up their prices

on April 11. Due to the wholesale

price of coffee surging to an incredible 81 per cent after heavy rains and devastation in Columbia, Canada’s

popular coffee and pastry shop is increasing its prices.

Tim Hortons’ officials have said months ago that there would be an increase coming soon, as United States customers already

saw a three per cent increase last February. It’s not known how much prices will go up.

So far, Tim Hortons shops have displayed notices on their drive-thru speakers

and doors, announcing the price increases, but it’s not known what items on the menu will be affected. Multiple media outlets have reported that customers will see a seven cent increase in

large coffees. Tim Hortons is Canada’s

largest baked goods and coffee producer, maintaining 76 per cent of the market. There are over 25 shops in the Windsor-Tecumseh area.

Menu prices expected to go up April 11

Tim Hortons officials say they must increase menu oprices to stay competitive. Coffee prices are expected to go up by $0.07 due to the increase in wholsale coffee prices. JustinSaunders/TecumsehTribune

In his book, “Tales from 1933 to 2010”, Staniszewski talks about the holocaust and also makes mention in other chapters of more recent incidents like the collapse of Nortel, the Ponzi scheme ushered by Bernie Madoff and the dangers of salt.

Staniszewski was born in 1925 in Montreal to Polish parents who fl ed Russia in 1913 to seek a better life in Canada. He was one of seven children in his family, raised in Montreal, Quebec. He attended Loyola College and the University of Toronto where he graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1954. He practiced law on Bay Street as a partner of Bagwell Stevens, McFarlane and ran provincially as a liberal in the Toronto riding of High Park in 1959, 1967 and 1968. Although he lost by a small margin, he was nominated as a bilingual Judge in 1971 by Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, in Windsor, Ontario after practicing law for 14 years. He later became a Superior Court Judge in the late 1980’s and served until his retirement in 1991.

Staniszewski has wrote and published several books, including “Memoirs of a Judge”, “Our Canada” and his most recent “Tales

from 1933 to 2010”, all in English and Polish. In his recent book, Staniszewski studied through many articles and books dedicated to World War Two and he says it was an important time in history.

“People should know more about it,” said Staniszewski.

The book also includes pictures of the holocaust, statistics and stories of the many Polish and Jewish people affected in the tragedy. Staniszewski even devotes a chapter to

explaining his thoughts on love.

In 2005, he established the Staniszewski Foundation, which has donated over $300,000 to various charities.

“Last December we donated $55,000 to 10 clubs and societies,” said Staniszewski.

“Tales from 1933 to 2010” is available at the Tecumseh Tribune offi ce for $15 with proceeds going to the Staniszewski Foundation. For more information call 519-735-2204.

Sign bylaw causing flap in city

City of Windsor bylaw enforcement officers are cracking down on portable roadside signs. Bob Reaume was told he had to get a 45-day permit, and had to remove his sign for 14 days every time he wants to renew the permit. Reaume owns the sign and the property that it sits on. He says he could understand if it was on city property, but says, “the city doesn’t want small business to flourish.” Justin Saunders/Tecumseh

By: Staff ReporterBelle River is known by many as a hockey

town, but the town’s BIA is hoping residents will see that it’s also a fishing town.

The town has been nominated for the “Ultimate Fishing Town Canada” contest, with the grand prize being $25,000 in fishing donations to a local community organization, 10 WaveSpin Reels, a feature about the winning town broadcast on the World Fishing Network (WFN) and an official check presentation and media event in the winning town.

To nominate, go to wfnfishingtown.ca and fill out an entry form, explaining why Belle River is the ultimate fishing town and what the residents would do with the fishing donation. The website also encourages up to five video or picture uploads.

After all the nominations are received on April 8, the first round of voting will start on April 12 and go till May 3, with the final voting period for the finalists starting on May 10 till May 31. The winner will be announced on June 6.

Residents will get a chance to vote for Belle River in the first round voting, but the top three vote getters in four regions will advance to the final voting, with WFN selecting an addition eight wild card towns to make the top 20 finalists. The town with the highest votes will be the winner.

Last year’s winner was Port Alberni, British Columbia. Windsor, Colchester, Amherstburg and Wheatley are the other towns in Essex County competing in the contest.
