CY LEBLANC AND TREVOR HOLDER!!!!!

I confronted two more MLA’s today about boarders and roomers rights!!!

The first victim was Cy LeBlanc < P.C. MLA > for Memramcook- Dieppe. After I told Cy of the hardship the poor people have to go through?

He quickly answered - Sa pas D’allure!!!!

Which in translation means in a way- What you just said doesn’t make any sense!!!

Minutes later, I bumped into Trevor Holder < P.C. MLA > for Saint John. Now…



Here’s an MLA who would know about the situation of the poor.

His answer was- Why would the roomer be different from the Tenant who lives in an apartment? He promised me that he would see Bard Green about this issue?

I wonder who’s going to be next on my list? You gotta live living in the Capital!!!!

JOHN HAMM - HE'S GOING!!!!

HE'S GOING!!!!!!!



BUT WHEN IS THIS GUY GOING?????

ARE YOU EXICITED FOR THE NHL????

In a personal note, I never watch the hockey games like I used too.

A bunch of Millionaires playing a sport they love? Lucky them!

I played goalie all my life and I would have love to wear the equipment today’s goalies have?

But I do watch hockey every Saturday for 10 minutes.

I love to watch my hero on the screen. My hero is located inside this blog!!!!!

ROCKWOOD PARK - THE FUTURE SITE OF ANOTHER LARGE GAS PIPELINE?????

Please forward this to your friends and relatives.




Hello,

I am a life long resident of Saint John and of the city's North End.

I have used Rockwood Park on many occasions over my 60+ years.

I have walked and hiked all the trails and pathways in the park and I believe that the destruction of the park lies with projects such as this.

Already we have a distracting power line running through the middle of the park, breaking up the unspoiled wilderness feel of many trails.

Adding a pipeline to this space would not only cause more trees to be removed, but also require the digging of earth and removal of rock, and building or widening of access roads would further spoil the natural setting.

Rockwood park was created over 100 years ago for the enjoyment of nature by all residents.

I ask you to consider the future of North America's largest inner-city park when you consider running a pipeline through the heart of it, which will further detract from it's appeal.

This would also set a precedent for more pipelines to follow in the future.

We should be looking to remove the exsisting high tension wires, not adding more industrial hardware to our park.



I have read that your spokesman Mr. Rankin is from Halifax, I ask him what he would think of pipelines being run through Point Pleasant Park, or the Public Gardens?



Do you think that this will improve the quality of life of this city's residents?

There already exsists a pipeline route(s) in Saint John, what is wrong with those?

Would this come down to the fact that it would be more complicated and cost a bit more money than running through the middle of a nature reserve such as Rockwood?

Regards,
John



In today's Telegraph Journal is an article on a pipeline that may or may not be run through Rockwood Park.



There is talk of possibly more pipelines following the same route as this one, and they have already stated that a 30 meter wide swath would need to be cut in the treeline.



In addition to this is the need for access roads, removal of trees, earth and rock, in short permanent and disfiguring scars on the natural beauty of the park.

There are other pipeline routes in the city that can be used, so lets make they use those and not carve up any more of our park!

My father and I have written emails to protest the construction of the proposed natural gas pipeline, please do the same if you care for the future of Rockwood Park.



The article also states that our Mayor knows nothing about this, so lets do our part to inform him and the rest of council.

Let them know that this in not acceptable.

I have attached a copy of the email my father sent, feel free to modify it to suit you and add more or create your own.



The email address given in the newspaper is: nbpipeline@jacqueswhitford.com This is to the engineering company heading up the project.

SUSSEX - GOLD FOUND AND BERNARD LORD'S OPINION!!!!

HEY BERNARD LORD??? KIDS ARE COMMITTING SUICIDE!!!!!!!!

Lilly Warns of Suicidal Thoughts With ADHD Drug (Update3)

Sept. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Eli Lilly & Co. warned doctors and patients that children and adolescents taking the Strattera medication for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder may have a higher risk of suicidal thoughts.




Five cases of suicidal thinking and one attempted suicide were found among 1,357 children in trials, the Indianapolis- based company said today. No deaths were reported. Lilly will put a warning on Strattera's label, which was updated in December to include the risk of liver damage.

``We believe that parents are very sensitive to safety issues for ADHD drugs and that a new warning could further add to pressure on the product,'' Friedman Billings Ramsey analyst David Moskowitz wrote in a note to clients today.

About 5 million U.S. children, or 7 percent, are diagnosed with ADHD, a disorder marked by inattentiveness and impulsive behavior. Recently, some doctors have said ADHD is over diagnosed, partly to keep active children calm in the classroom. The global ADHD market is about $1.7 billion, said Gloria Tsuen, an analyst at First Investors Corp. in New York.

It's unclear if the risks apply to other ADHD drugs, such as Shire Pharmaceuticals Group Plc's Adderall, Novartis AG's Ritalin and Johnson & Johnson's Concerta. Those drugs work as stimulants. Strattera, the first of its class approved for sale, works by blocking the body's absorption of the chemical norepinephrine in the brain, leaving more of it to help control attention and activity levels.

Shares

Shares of Lilly rose 20 cents to $53.67 at 11:27 a.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. Before today, the stock has lost 5.8 percent so far this year.

Strattera generated $124 million in sales in the second quarter, down 31 percent from the year-earlier period. Moskowitz said in his report that he reduced 2006 Strattera sales estimates to $518 million from $685 million. He also lowered his 2006 earnings estimate to $3.05 a share from $3.10, based on lower expectations for the ADHD drug.

``Strattera is one of the key drivers'' for Lilly, said Tsuen, who helps manage about $3.5 billion. `This is one more piece of bad news for the drug.''

The newest change in the labeling of Strattera resulted from a U.S. Food and Drug Administration review of psychiatric treatment for children, Lilly said.

Other Warnings

Last year, that review prompted warnings about suicide risk from anti-depression drugs that include Wyeth's Effexor, GlaxoSmithKline Plc's Paxil, Pfizer Inc.'s Zoloft, Forest Laboratories Inc. and H. Lundbeck A/S's Celexa and Lexapro and Lilly's Prozac.

There appears to be no risk to adult patients taking Strattera, the company said. About 4 percent of American adults also have the condition.

The risk represents about 0.4 percent of the total population of Straterra patients, said Lilly Chief Executive Sidney Taurel in an interview on financial news network CNBC. One child who took five times the recommended dosage attempted to kill himself, Taurel said.

Lilly also reiterated its earnings guidance for the year today, saying it would have 2005 earnings per share of $1.90 to $1.96, including a product liability charge of 90 cents per share. Sales growth is expected to be in the 6 percent to 8 percent range.
