Well we are getting a touch of rain here this morning, some thunder and lightning, but most of it I am thinking went south of us this time.  The last few storms went north of us.  Seems Port Loring is being left out this summer when it comes to rain.  Could mean though that lots of snow is heading our way come winter.  Time will tell all.  On another note: I bought GPS last week,a Garmin 10. Click Picture to enlarge. Took a bit of figuring, on how to work the thing but after playing around with it I think I figured out the main points of interest. At least for what I need it for. I am interested in taking co-ordinates of fishing spots and historical places.  The maps for it are quite expensive I found but did manage to download a few of the inland waters around our area and one of Ontario.  What I was looking for was the depths of the lakes to down load but so far no luck.   I am also trying to figure out a simple way of way saving the locations that I want to keep so they will be easy to locate on the GPS. Nice thing is I can upload my data to my computer through a USB cable that comes with it.  So in doing so I will be able to add them to my own maps.  Great little bit of technology for sure, just takes some getting used to.  If anyone has one has one of these and has conquered all the things it does, it would be nice to chat to you about things.  Have a great day.

What Doctors Should Be Doing In Todays World

You know when it comes to most doctors today I would have to say their education is far from being superior to those of yesteryear.  Reason being years ago, many years ago medicine men they called them, relied on not only medicine but Nature along with nutrition.  Here is  quote that says it all, written many years ago.  I would think that most will recognize the name.  I would think it is good advice for the doctors of today too. Not all but most, there are some that are right in their thinking and treatments, some.

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine but interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” Thomas A. Edison 1847-1931

Port Loring Water Levels

Numerous folks have called asking about the water levels on the lakes and river.  Below I have published an answer to the problem or best we here at the Local Service’s Board can get. Thing is folks no one, or one thing is to blame for the water being low. With no rain in our area to speak of for over two months, it is a wonder that the water isn’t lower than it is. So be patient, as what Mother Nature Gives us, is what we get, simple as that.   Click Graphs below to enlarge.

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to touch base with Ken yet this morning but I thought I’d get back to you at my first opportunity.

Regarding flow from Dollars Dam – we will not cut all flow from the dam; in other words, we will maintain some flow through the dam, in the form of leakage, for a few reasons, including:

– Ecological values (stopping flow from Dollars Dam would negatively impact fish and other aquatic species which rely on some amount of water in that section of the Pickerel River system).

– Riparian rights (riverfront land owners may depend on a certain level of water in the river for their water intakes and wells).

– General river health (a small amount of flow is required to prevent stagnating in the river reach below the dam).

Based on the pictures you sent on Sunday, the small amount of flow leaking though the dam would barely be meeting the ecological, riparian and health objectives mentioned above. That being said, all riparian areas, both lake shore and river banks, are being impacted by the hot dry weather of late.

As you can see from the chart below, 10% of the time we’re below the lower normal operating zone this time of year. Come late July through August we’re below the lower normal operating zone 25% of the time.

Our 2012 trend (red line) is well on track to become one of the lower water years on record.

At this point, we’ve exercised our full extent of control on Dollars for the time being – the rest is up to Mother Nature!

Joe, please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information. I would be happy to share water level readings and history from any of our managed lakes in Parry Sound District for your comparison.

Take good care, Amanda Vincent

A humble country superstar Garth Brooks

Well maybe just maybe we might see Garth Brooks making a come back after years of taking time off, from what he does best.  Country Singing.  I for one thought Garth was one of the best country singers to come along and still do today. My wife and I picked him to be the best country western singer many years ago, when he was just starting out.  He draws a crowd and keeps them  memorized, no matter what song he sings.  Great fellow for sure and would love to see him back singing again for all to hear.  You have been missed Garth, you have had time for you family, but now it’s time to look after your other family, your fans.

Here is the article for you to read that explains it all.  http://www.leaderpost.com/sports/Brooks+hints+ending+decade+long+retirement/6933333/story.html

Health & Dealing With Cancer

Here is a great article on some natural fixes for cancer.  I myself have used some of them with excellent results.  There are lots more out there, an again I have used them also and continue to use one pertaining to Dandelion Roots.  It in itself has helped me immensely, feeling better every day actually.  Here is the article and remember, do the research, take the blinders off, be your own person and do what you and I say this again; DO WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT.  No one can make the right decision other than yourself, quite simply, because you are the only one that truly knows what your body needs.

Though cancer can be seen as a very complex illness, it is important to understand that cancer is simply the “symptom” and the tip of the ice berg. For your body to allow cancer cells to take root and multiply, there had to be a weakened immune system, toxicity of many kinds and nutritional deficiencies.

Evidence-based research has shown that there are hundreds of known and effective cancer cures. Here are some very simple protocols that will give you an edge if you are afflicted with cancer.

1. Baking Soda
1 tsp. of baking soda and the juice of 1 organic lemon in 8 ounces of water several times per day is a very easy way to alkalize the body. Cancer cells can’t grow in an alkaline body.

2. Blood Root
Blood root is a perennial plant that contains a plant alkaloid called Sanguinarine. Sanguinarine kills cancer cells only and does not harm your healthy cells. It can be used internally or applied externally in a salve for superficial cancers.

3. Chaga
Chaga is a medicinal mushroom that has been studied in laboratories for many years. It has shown much promise as an immune system modulator and has many anti-cancer properties.

4. Vitamin D
Checking your blood serum Vitamin D levels could help you prevent cancer and speed up your recovery from cancer.

A study conducted in 2006 indicated that lower levels of blood serum Vitamin D were associated with a poorer overall survival rate of post-menopausal breast cancer patients.

5. Essiac Tea
The original formulation of this tea was actually an old Native Indian recipe that had been used for hundreds of years. A Canadian nurse learned about it and started sharing it with some of her cancer patients and she began to see amazing recoveries. The tea, comprised of several anti-cancer and cleansing herbs, can be consumed several times per day.

6. Flax Seeds and cottage cheese
Dr. Johanna Budwig, a German biochemist and physicist, is credited for this healing concoction that has seen a 90 percent success rate spanning over 50 years. The combination of these two foods provides essential fatty acids and lipoproteins that reduce tumors and restore health.

7. Hemp Oil
The cannabinoids in hemp kill cancer cells. Period. And like all other herbal remedies, the plant chemicals do not harm healthy cells. There have been numerous studies conducted with reported beneficial effects on many types of cancers, including breast cancer.

8. Iodine
It is estimated that over 85 percent of the world’s population is iodine deficient. Since estrogen production increases with iodine deficiency, make sure you have your iodine levels tested every year.

9. Melatonin
Melatonin is a powerful breast cancer cell inhibitor. In fact, in laboratory studies, it actually put breast cancer cells to sleep and slowed down the growth by 70percent. Melatonin also counteracts the effects of environmental estrogens.

10. Broccoli Sprouts
While cruciferous vegetables in general have been promoted for their anti-cancer properties, broccoli sprouts are up to 100 times more potent. The sprouts contain Sulforaphane which not only kills cancer cells, but actually suppresses the growth and spread of many types of cancers.

There are literally hundreds of known cancer cures that have saved countless lives. Of course, healing cancer involves healing the body as a whole. Lifestyle and dietary changes are also essential since cancer is just the symptom and NOT the cause. If you know anyone who is afflicted with cancer, please share this information and be a messenger of hope.
