Eastend is Growing
On June 16th there was a Ratepayers Meeting in Eastend with the Mayor and the
Town 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 length
touching on many issues that are of concern to people and provided information
about actions that have been taken and are about to be taken. Mr. Morvik and the
Councillors present spoke about the continuing efforts they are making to bring the
important 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 Red
Coat 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 be
made there before work on paving that street can begin. Other infrastructure work
will continue on a year-by-year, street-by-street basis until the requirements of the
whole town have been met.
The Town has hired a full-time staff member to be responsible for the cleanliness
and order of the park and camping facilities. In addition, a summer student has been
hired to assist as necessary. The campground provides significant income and its
condition reflects the attitude we take about our community.
The first tranche of clean up letters have been sent out starting with properties on
the main street. This is a process that will continue yearly one street at a time. The
Mayor discussed the sensitivity of this issue but emphasised that orderliness of our
properties is amongst the first matters to be addressed as the town attracts more new
residents.
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 life
to 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 that
will 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 has

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.
Veto the Mosquito
Given the deluge of rain were received this spring, were likely in for a
bumper crop of nasty little bugs and mosquitoes. Theyre already here
and biting like crazy. The one thing that experts agree on is that our first
line of defense against West Nile Virus should be to reduce the condi-
tions that mosquitoes need to reproduce. This is habitat control and we
can all participate to make improvements. If we dont have mosquitoes
the 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. After
mating, adult female mosquitoes will take a blood meal by biting a human or animal. She
will then lay eggs in or near standing water. Once the eggs hatch, the mosquito larvae will
live in the water until they develop into adults. The best way to control mosquito habitat is
to eliminate all standing water that mosquitoes need to breed. Because some species of
mosquito need only very small amounts of standing water, citizens must be diligent about
removing 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 dump
them 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 them
so mosquitoes cannot get in or out of the saucer. Duct tape can be used to secure the
screening.
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 other
vehicles have small spots under the hood or trunk where rainwater can collect. Drive
your car or truck around the block within 5 days of every rainfall to drain this water. Be
responsible for your unused vehicles sitting on the street or in your yard. They are ideal
habitat 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 open
them 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 avoid
West Nile Virus and experience enjoyable hours outdoors,
if you want to keep malathion spraying to a minimum (last
year we did not spray at all) then be responsible for good
health practices on your property. However, more than this,
for your own good health and the benefit of the community
take responsibility for un-cut lawns and empty lots in town.
Voluntarily cut any grass that needs it or hire someone
to do it for you. Clean out water habitats or the mosquitoes
will be swarming. JK
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.
