York tandem big winners in northern pike tournament

When Dave Chong and Ted Filippou first wet their lines in the June pike tournament on Lake Nosbonsing in 2006, they finished 16th.

The next year, the York Region angling tandem exhibited a noticeable improvement, placing eighth.

Their progression, however, didn't stop there.

Last year, Chong, who lives in Aurora, and Filippou, a Woodbridge resident, finished fourth.

This year, they struck the mother lode.

Competing in a field of 129 two-angler teams last weekend, Chong and Filippou caught their five-fish quota, measuring 167.25 inches in total length.

It was good enough for the winning pair to drive off with a nice paycheque of $12,400.

"Once we figured out how we could catch them, we didn't deviate from what we were doing," an elated Chong said.

While northern pike can be caught on a variety of artificial offerings, their best success stemmed from tossing hard jerk baits including models manufactured by Lucky Craft and Mega bass, Chong said.

In retail outlets, these baits aren't cheap, but to win tournaments where money is on the line, the costs of these baits aren't a factor, Chong said.

"People who don't believe baits worth $20 to $25 apiece can make a difference. Well, they do," he said.

Angling the day of the tourney was challenging as just 20 of the 129 teams measured their five-fish limit and another 50 teams did not weigh anything.

Four of the five fish caught by the local team came from one specific area of Lake Nosbonsing, Chong said.

Upon landing their fifth northern pike, Chong felt they could be in the hunt for the big prize. This they based on the winning lengths from past events.

"When we measured our fish, we knew from previous years' tournaments, we had what it would take to win it," Chong said.

"But you can't control what everyone else does. Someone could have had a phenomenal day on the water. Anything can happen and there were some big fish caught that day."

While Chong and Filippou's longest northern measured 27.25 inches, longer fish were caught.

But they weren't enough to overtake the overall numbers recorded by Chong and Filippou.

"Fishing was tough," said Chong, a fishing guide and co-host of the upcoming angling TV series Fish City.

Wasi Lake Under Duress

BLUE-GREEN ALGAE

As reported in the North Bay Nugget on Saturday June 13th. 2009:

The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit warns the public to avoid using water from Wasi lake after a blue-green algae bloom was found in the south end of the lake in Chisholm Township.

The water should not be used for drinking, cooking or bathing.

The blooms have the potential to produce toxins that cannot be destroyed by treating or boiling the water, the health unit said in a media release.

"This may be harmful to human health and the health of animals because these blooms have the potential to produce toxins."

Mike Duncan, manager of enviromental health, said in a media release, "If you draw your drinking water supply from Wasi Lake where algae are evident, it's important to use an alternate source of water for drinking, cooking,washing dishes and bathing.

The health unit advises the public to avoid swimming and other water sports.

Bear Attack in Churchill, Manitoba , Canada

These are pictures of an actual polar bear attack in Churchill.

These pictures were taken while people watched and could do nothing to stop the attack!

Reports from the local newspaper say that the victim will make a full recovery.

The photos are below.

Update from John Hopkins

Cancer Update from John  Hopkins

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY  ('TRY' IS THE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY  STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.




1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not  show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.  When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in  their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect  the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
 
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's  lifetime.
 
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be  destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
 
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple  nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food  and lifestyle factors.
 
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and  including supplements will st rengthen the immune system.
 
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and  also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow,  gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys,  heart, lungs etc.
 
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and  damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
 
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce  tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not  result in more tumor destruction.
 
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and  radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the  person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
 
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and  become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can als o cause cancer  cells to spread to other sites.
 
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by  not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. CANCER CELLS FEED  ON:
 

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one  important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like  NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful.  A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in  very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in  color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
 
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the  gastrointestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and  substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.
 
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is  acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or  pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and  parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
 
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds,  nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.  About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices  provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular  levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To  obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable  juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2  or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40  degrees C).
 
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green  tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water --  best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy  metals in tap water. Distilled water is aci dic, avoid it.


12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive  enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and  leads to more toxic buildup.
 
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from  or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of  cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer  cells.
 
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence,  Essiac, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's  own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E  are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal  method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
 
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proac tive and  positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger,  unforgiveness, and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic  environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and  enjoy life.
 
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising  daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular  level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer  cells.

Carnival 2009

The East Ferris Winter Carnival 2009 was another resounding success with thanks going to the brigade of Carnival Committee Volunteers

The Community Center was a constant buzz and congratulations go out to the Perron Hockey Team for winning the Family Feud Championship

And to the Lynx Team for winning the Outlaw category

Sorry, I don't have any pictures for these two events nor any details for the winners of the Curling rounds

The Saturday afternoon Family Skate had a good turnout with many of the parents and adults on the ice to help out the beginners

Sunday saw the sun shining and had our new NOSBONSING ANGLERS AND HUNTERS GET OUTDOORS Youth Group sponsoring the kids outdoor activities

Norma McQuoid above kissing the fish for good luck before beginning the big fish race

Some other games included the snowshoe race, ball pickup and slush races

A winter visitor at Norma's

Do you ever get the feeling that someone or something is watching over your shoulder while you are working.... well, this doe (and yes I had a birds eye view!!) decided to watch me work at the computer and what was on television. She was there for awhile and even stayed while I pulled up the blind to get a better picture!!
