“Now His betrayer (Judas) had given them a sign,saying: Whomever I kiss, He is the One: seize Him.Immediately he went up to Jesus and said: GreetingsRabbi!”

Dear Reader: What a contrast we find betweenJudas’ kiss of betrayal and the kiss of commitmentthat we witness at a marriage ceremony. At the mar-riage service, everything leads up to the point whenthe officiator proclaims: “By the power vested inme....I now pronounce you to be husband and wife.Sir, you may now kiss your bride!” (Immediatelyafter the kiss) “It is my privilege and honour to pre-sent to you, Mr. and Mrs....” That public kiss sealedall that was committed between the groom and hisbride and is a sign of their union with one another.When Judas kissed Jesus Christ, that kiss was a signthat would separate them for all eternity. Spiritually,Judas never was a true follower of the Son of Godand his kiss confirmed that he was always dead spir-itually. More importantly though, that kiss alsosealed his eternal death.

Dear Friend: What is your relationship to JesusChrist? You entered this world in the same conditionas Judas. He had every opportunity to place his trustin Jesus as the Son of God and be united to Him byfaith, but he decided to remain in control of his ownlife. He turned down the only means of spiritual andeternal life. Individuals who recognize their need tobe saved from their sins and turn to the Lord foreverlasting life are described in the Scriptures as the“Bride of Christ”. On one occasion, John the Baptistwanted to let his disciples know that he was notJesus Christ the Messiah, who people were anticipat-ing. “....I am not the Christ, but that I am sent beforeHim. He that has the bride (believers) is the Bride-groom: but the friend of the Bridegroom, whichstands and hears Him rejoices greatly because forthe Bridegroom’s voice...” John 3:28-29. To be unit-ed to Jesus Christ is to kiss Him and pledge our alle-giance to Him by putting our trust in Him. “Serve theLord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss theSon, lest He be angry and you perish from the way,when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are allthat they put thier trust in Him” Psalm 2:11-12. OnJudgement Day it will be revealed whether we“kissed the Son” or not. He invites that kiss withopen arms!

5 Things You Can Do Right Now ToPrevent Cancer

Despite considerableprogress since the war oncancer was launched in theearly 1970s, 1 in 2 NorthAmericans will be affectedby cancer at some point intheir lifetime. It is impossi-ble to imagine living a lifethat avoids dealing withcancer.

Some suggest that we arelosing the war – but that’snot true. With the power ofearly detection, personal-ized therapies, and moretargeted treatments, we areimproving 5 year survivalrates and changing the faceof cancer from an acute ill-ness to a chronic disease.

“Even though we havesignificant medicaladvancements for cancerdiagnosis and treatment,people shouldn’t rely onmedical intervention as acure. The best way to dealwith cancer is to adoptlifestyle changes to avoidgetting cancer altogether,”says Dr. Dimitrios Vergidis,Chief of Oncology atRegional Cancer CareNorthwest (RCC-NW).“For example, all cancerscaused by cigarette smok-ing and heavy use of alco-hol could be prevented

completely.”Joanne Lacourciere,

Director, Regional CancerProgram, is also a bigadvocate of lifestylechanges. “Scientific evi-dence suggests that aboutone-third of cancer deathswill be related to obesity,inactivity, and poor nutri-tion. People can take actionnow to prevent cancerthrough better food choicesand physical activity.”

#1 - Stop smoking orusing tobacco products.

Tobacco use is the mostpreventable cause of deathworldwide. People whoquit, regardless of age, livelonger than people whocontinue to smoke. Quit-ting smoking substantiallydecreases the risk of lung,laryngeal, esophageal, oral,pancreatic, bladder, andcervical cancers.

#2 - Achieve and main-tain a healthy weightthroughout life.

For those who are cur-rently overweight, losingeven a small amount ofweight has health benefitsand is a good place to start.

#3 - Adopt an activelifestyle.

Continued from Page 2Choose something you

enjoy and do it regularly.Adults should aim to take10,000 steps every day andchildren should try to beactive for at least 1 hourevery day.

#4 - Eat a healthy dietthat emphasizes plant foodsand limit alcohol consump-tion.

Fill your plate with rea-sonable portions. Consumea mostly plant-based dietthat limits red andprocessed meats, is heavyon whole grains, andincludes a variety of veg-etables and fruits – at least2 cups every day and themore colourful the better.Limit alcohol intake to nomore than two drinks perday for men and one drinkper day for women.

#5 - Get screened to findcancer at its earliest, mosttreatable stage.

Regular sc reeningexaminat ions by ahealthcare professionalcan result in the detec-tion and removal of pre-cancerous growths , aswell as the diagnosis ofcancers at an early stage,when they are most treat-able.

Regional Cancer CareNorthwest is working toreduce the burden of can-cer and support folks intheir decisions to makehealthier choices.

editorial...I can still smell snow in

the air, so I think it’s notquite over yet, although itwon’t be a dumping, justsome flurries. And so itshould. We often forgetthat warmer temperaturesdon’t usually come to stayuntil May, possibly June.We just got a little spoiledwith the unusually beauti-ful weather experienced alittle too soon in the sea-son! But we did enjoy it!

I’ve been anchored tothe television watching allthe stories about the Titan-ic and the its tragic sink-ing 100 years ago April15, 1912. Of course Iwatched the movie, once,and though it has beenreleased again in 3D, Iwill not go see it. I foundit all too sad, knowing thatmuch of it was true, andso many perished at sea.The unsinkable sank.What they didn’t count onwas human error.

In Belfast NorthernIreland where the shipwas built, they have madea beautiful Titanic muse-um where one canglimpse the constructionof the ship, and stand on areplica of the infamousstaircase on the maindeck. It is here that Titan-ic is celebrated for theaccomplishment she was--the largest ship ever built.

However, in Halifax,Nova Scotia, there isanother museum, theAtlantic Maritime Muse-um, that also honoursTitanic, but in a moresullen way. It was Halifaxthat received the bodies ofthe dead retrieved fromthe sea after the ship sunk,and where many pieces ofthe tragedy are on display,including a small child’spair of shoes.

Titanic will always beremembered as the great-est ship ever built, and thegreatest tragedy at sea forthe ship that was deemedunsinkable.

Paulette Lalonde ForsythMy World.......And Welcome To It

Do you ever find thatwhen passing a mirror orany surface that allows areflection, we look? Nomatter what, we look. Weneed to know if our hair isright, if our clothes are onstraight, and we reallyneed to know that othernagging question...do welook fat? And to be hon-est, that side profile is real-ly not kind. The angle isnot flattering with a shoul-der blade directly underthe chin, and a back andfront end that extend farpast what we expected. Ifa store was really thinkingabout their patrons, theywould place ‘skinny’ mir-rors up and make us allfeel so good about our-selves that we’d probablypurchase something just tocelebrate!

Anyway, despite ourfear, we look. And some-times, it’s a good thing wedo. On a recent trip shop-ping, I felt this unease thatsomething was not quiteright. I couldn’t put myfinger on it until I realizedthat there was a Bouncesheet waving hello toeveryone that passed by as

giggle because i t wasobvious she was obliviousto what was now retreat-ing from the bottom of herpant leg. But as shegained momentum, i tgained length. I began todebate what action Ishould take.. .whether Iapproach her and informher about the hitchhiker,or perhaps if I stepped onit, it would fully extractitself and I could just kickit to the curb. In themeantime, she was justabout to enter heavy shop-ping traffic and I had toact quickly. So I steppedon it. And she came to acomplete halt and turnedto look in my direction.Both of us had an appear-ance--me of surprise withmy foot on the leg of thenylon and her mortified atthe very sight. “Ohmy-gosh,” she stammered,twining the nylon aroundher hand as she walkedtoward me, “I didn’t real-ize they were still in mypants!” she offered asexplanation. And then thegiggling started until theboth of us were in tearsand holding our stomachsin pain.

They say you shouldhave one good belly laugheveryday to maintainhealth. I believe on thatday, we over medicated!

it poked out the front ofmy shirt about mid-sec-tion. I thought everyonewas staring at my Easterbelly filled with turkeyand chocolate! Turns outthey were trying to figureout what was desperatelymaking an attempt toescape the confines ofmy clothing!

I’m sure you are think-ing about your moment inthe embarrassing spot-l ight as you read this.The lady with the pricetag still dangling off hernew coat, the man whohas the buttons of hisshirt done up wrong, theyoung mother with asucker stuck on her pants.We’ve all had our redfaced moments, either asthe embarrassed or thewitness, but one thing isthe same--the laughterthat follows!

And so i t was justanother day of shoppingwhen I targeted some-thing out of the corner ofmy eye. A woman stand-ing between the Lay’sSalt and Vinegar Chipsand Kit Kat chocolatebars was reaching up toget a large bag of NatchoCheese tacos when itappeared.

OPP Releases 2011 Traffic Statistics The results are in for the

Ontario Provincial Police’s(OPP) 2011 traffic statisticsand while most of lastyear’s statistic categoriesshow an improvement over2010, the OPP will be look-ing for ways to improvesafety on our roads, water-ways and trails in 2012.

According to the Com-missioner of the OPP, thereare a number of ways tointerpret the results of the2011 statistics and it’s notall good news for the OPPand the people who drive inOntario.

“I’m pleased to see areduction in most of thestatistical categories for2011 but when I look at thebig picture, our officerslaid more than 1.2-millioncharges in Ontario over thepast two years,” said OPPCommissioner ChrisLewis. “The actionsbehind each of thosecharges in some way poseda risk to people’s safety, sothere was the potential forfatality and collision num-bers to be much higher inevery category had ourofficers not caught up withthese people when theydid,” added Lewis.

According to Lewis,regardless of what trafficstatistics look like fromyear to year, the bottomline is that the overwhelm-ing majority of the colli-sions, including the fatali-ties, are dictated by driverbehaviour. Eliminatingmost of these fatalities isvery much within the graspof motorists, said Lewis,and it’s as simple as payingdue attention to andrespecting our traffic laws.

“Since we implementedour award-winning Provin-cial Traffic Safety Program(PTSP) in 2007, we’veseen a steady reduction inthe rate of fatality and per-sonal injury collisions inOntario and these rates arethe lowest Ontario has seenin 80 years,” said DeputyCommissioner LarryBeechey, Provincial Com-mander, Traffic Safety andOperational Support. “Thedifference between thenumber of charges we laidlast year (2011) and thosein 2010 is minimal. Thismeans that our officers aredoing an excellent job ofmaintaining a strong pres-ence throughout theprovince and this con-

tributes to saving lives,”added Beechey.

Impaired driving, lack ofoccupant restraint, distract-ed driving and aggressivedriving are the “Big Four”causal factors and high-riskbehaviours the OPP targetsthough its highly success-ful PTSP. The programincorporates high visibility,measurable outcomes, pro-fessional traffic stops andpublic education, andforms part of the OPP’songoing efforts to reducecollisions and save lives onOntario roads, waterwaysand trails.

2011 Traffic ResultHighlights:

A total of 285 peoplewere killed in motor vehi-cle collisions (MVC) onroads in OPP jurisdiction in2011, compared to 328 in2010 (13.1 per centdecrease).

There were 260 fatalmotor vehicle collisions(MVC) in OPP jurisdictionin 2011, compared to 296in 2010 (12.2 per centdecrease).

Alcohol was a factor in55 of the 2011 MVCdeaths, compared to 78 in2010 (29.5 per centdecrease).

Lack of occupant restraintwas a factor in 71 of the 2011fatalities, compared to 93 in2010 (23.7 per cent reduc-tion), while speed and dis-traction-related fatalitieswere only down slightly in2011 from 2010.

The OPP saw an increasein pedestrian deaths, with 29pedestrians being killed in2011, compared to 21 in 2010(38.1 per cent increase).

A total of 22 people died inmarine incidents last year onOPP-patrolled waterways,compared to 28 in 2010 (21.4per cent decrease).

There were 15 snowmo-bile fatalities in 2011, com-pared to 25 in 2010 (40.0 percent decrease).

A total of 14 off-road vehi-cle (ORV) deaths occurred in2011, compared to 17 in 2010(17.6 per cent decrease).

The OPP laid a total of610,390 charges on roads,waterways and trails in OPPjurisdiction in 2011, com-pared to 612, 419 charges in2010 (0.3 per cent decrease).

No More Cell Shock! Ontario Government Takes ActionThe Ontario government

is taking strong action tohelp eliminate the shockmany consumers get fromopening their cell phoneand wireless services bills.

The province isintroducing legislation tomake it easier tounderstand the costs andterms of wireless servicesagreements while ensuringservice providers areupfront with informationbefore contracts aresigned.

Here's how consumerswill benefit if thelegislation is passed:

- Contracts will bewritten in plain language;

- Contracts would spellout which services comewith the basic fee, andwhich would result in ahigher bill;

- Providers must get it inwriting before they renewor amend a contract;

- A cap on the cost ofcancelling a contract;

- Only a modest fee forwalking away from fixed-

term contracts.Taking strong action to

protect Ontario consumersis part of the McGuintygovernment's commitmentto educate, protect andserve Ontarians byensuring a fair and safemarketplace.

QUOTES"We want to eliminate

the 'cell shock' manypeople experience becausethe terms of theiragreements lack clarity.Service providers shouldgive people theinformation they need sothey understand the terms,and all costs of any cellphone and wirelessservices agreements theysign." – M argaret t Best ,Minister of Consumer Services

"Millions of Ontarianssubscribe to wirelessphone services and we aremoving forward withimportant legislation thatreaches the sameobjectives as thoseproposed in two bills Ipreviously introduced.

This is a pocketbook issuethat consumers wantaddressed, and ourgovernment bill containsmeasures that will makecell phone contractsconsiderably more fair andtransparent." – Dav idOrazietti, MPP Sault Ste. Marie

QUICK FACTS• The proposed

legislation, which wouldaffect new contracts,would take effect sixmonths after being passed.It would also coverexisting agreements thatare amended, renewed orextended after that date.

• More than 70 per centof Ontarians have awireless servicesagreement.

• About 62 per cent ofall complaints received bythe federal Commissionerfor Complaints forTe l e c o m m u n i c a t i o n sServices in 2010-2011were about wirelessservices. More than 41 percent of those complaintscame from Ontarians.

Statement From Attorney GeneralOn Ontario's Tobacco Litigation

Ontario has achievedanother milestone in itsefforts to recover past andongoing health-care costsborne by Ontario taxpayersdue to tobacco-relatedillness.

Back in January, theSuperior Court of Justicerejected an application bya group of seven foreigntobacco companies lookingto have Ontario's $50-billion lawsuit againstthem dismissed on thebasis that the Court had nojurisdiction over them.

On April 3, 2012, the

Court ordered thecompanies to pay the costsincurred by the Province todefend the application, inthe amount of more than$577,000, to be paidwithin 30 days.

In this time of fiscalrestraint, when we as agovernment are forced toclosely examine all ourspending, I am pleased weare able to recover thesefunds.

We will continue tovigorously pursue thislitigation on behalf of allOntarians.

Volunteer Firefighters Protect More Than 3,000 CommunitiesMany Canadians may not

realize it, but in more than3,000 communities acrossthe country, emergency firedepartment services are pro-vided by volunteer firefight-ers who give their time andenergy to protect the peopleand properties of their localcommunities.

These volunteers – whospend on average more than400 hours each year provid-

ing fire services – can includepeople from all backgroundsand occupations, includingteachers, business owners,community leaders and oth-ers. These men and womenplay a significant role acrossthe country as the first andonly responders to fire emer-gencies that can hit homes,businesses or roadway trafficat any hour of the day ornight.

When trouble strikes,Canada's volunteer firefight-ers leave their homes orfull–time jobs on a moment'snotice and receive little if anycompensation for their work.In addition to their commit-ment of time, fire departmen-zt volunteers often pay fortheir own fire service sup-plies, uniforms and trainingequipment.

This year, the Canadian

Volunteer Fire ServicesAssociation (CVFSA) haspartnered with Duracell in anunprecedented new cam-paign called Power ThoseWho Protect Us. This cam-paign will help raise aware-ness in Canada for the workthat the CVFSA does and forthe dedication of its volunteerfirefighters across Canada, inaddition to promoting Dura-cell's commitment and con-tributions to fire safety.

Through this new partner-

ship and campaign, Canadianscan support volunteer firefight-ers by purchasingspecially–marked AA20 packsof Duracell batteries. For everypack sold, Duracell will delivertwo batteries to a volunteer firedepartment in Canada.

The CVFSA will alsoreceive cash donations fromDuracell during 2011 to sup-port fire services in variouscommunities. Full details onPower Those Who Protect Usare available online atwww.duracell.ca/protect.
