Toronto council debates OMB, affordable housing funding & other issues

Posted on February 13, 2012 by vancouver Click Here For Article

Toronto’s city council is debating a host of key measures over the next two days, but Monday's meeting was overshadowed by a looming transit showdown.

The council session began Monday morning. But before it began, Coun. Karen Stintz introduced a petition for a special council meeting to reconsider Transit City, which Mayor Rob Ford has all but killed. She and 23 councillors signed a petition calling for a special meeting Wednesday to debate light rail transit (LRT).

At the start of the two-day council meeting, councillors approved a proposal to remove Toronto from the Ontario Municipal Board’s (OMB) jurisdiction, and set up a local appeal body. The city will also ask the province to abolish the OMB.

“I don’t know any letters that rile my constituents more than OMB,” Coun. David Shiner said.

The OMB oversees planning and development in Ontario, and has been widely criticized for catering to developers.

The province can just “push off” those decisions that allow condominiums and go against the wishes of city council, Shiner argued.

“If you want respect for taxpayers, take away the OMB’s authority, because they do not have respect for taxpayers."

Coun. Kristyn Wong-Tam introduced the motion last year and Tweeted that "Mississauga unanimously voted for land use planning autonomy."

"If the OMB were abolished ... would there still be an appeal process?" Coun. Norm Kelly asked Monday.

"Yes, it would be an appeal to the courts. ... It might be a slower process, but not necessarily, " city solicitor Anna Kinastowski said.

Coun. Raymond Cho asked if abolishing the OMB could end up costing the city more money in the long run.

"It's a possibility," Kinastowski said.

Deputy mayor Doug Holyday suggested preparing a staff report, and questioned why there hadn’t been one requested in the first place.

“This is a major change,” Holyday said.

He introduced a motion asking for the city's chief planner and executive director to consider the proposal.

Coun. Peter Milczyn asked council to oppose Holyday's motion. The motion was denied.

Earlier, Coun. Mike del Grande, a Ford ally, tried to add a motion without prior notice to the agenda regarding councillors’ salaries. But it fell three votes shy of the 30 that was needed to get the motion added to the agenda.

Last week, it was reported that the mayor and councillors are due for a two per cent salary increase this year. The increase, built into the 2012 operating budget passed last month, is about $2,000 per councillor and is based on Statistics Canada’s consumer price index for Toronto.

At the time, Coun. Doug Ford said a motion would be put forward to refuse the raise and freeze salaries.

The mayor, who earned $167,770 last year, said he would not take the increase. Councillors earn $99,620 a year.

City council approved a proposal to close a section of Gould and Victoria streets, near Ryerson University, to vehicle traffic. The area had been closed to traffic as part of a pilot project for several months.

Councillors also approved, with amendments, a plan to allocate federal and provincial funding for affordable housing, as well as approved sign variance bylaws and filling vacant positions.

The city will also debate asking the province’s Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for money to fight bed bugs. A strategy is expected to be in place by April 1.

BED BUGS: Apartments in Des Moines experiencing a bed bug infestation

Posted on February 13, 2012 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

Aaron Brilbeck Staff Writer

Residents like Anita Denly find bed bugs and cockroaches roaming around in their apartment complex on a daily basis. Denly has even found bed bug nests on her mattress. She has incurred various bite marks on her back, arms and legs, and has live bed bugs on her pillow.

The apartments, located on East 15th Street, have had an infestation problem for a while.

At first Denly assumed it was only in her apartment but after visiting several of the units in the building, found that other tenants are having the same problem.

When management was notified, they offered her a spray to rid of the bugs but it made little to no impact.

Channel 13 spoke to Mary Powell, the apartment manager, who explains that management is making several efforts to rid of the problem.

“We’ve been working on it and it doesn’t seem like we’re getting anywhere so we’re just going to keep going until we get the problem rectified,” she said. “We have people coming out tomorrow to treat the building and they should be gone within the next few days.”

That sounds promising but tenants say they’ve heard it before.

The problem has come to the attention of city inspectors who are investigating the issue.

State legislators are considering a bill that would require tenants to report bed bugs to their landlords within two days of discovering. If tenants do not report the problem, they could be forced to pay the extermination fee.

The bill is being debated in a house committee.

How to Be Your Own Exterminator

Posted on February 13, 2012 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- In 14th century Europe, rats were responsible for spreading the Black Death, a plague that killed tens of millions of people. And while we now have a cure for the bubonic plague and other bacterial illnesses, vermin such as mice, rats and bugs continue to infest houses and apartments in the developed world. They can still spread disease if allowed to roam free, and even if they don't get you sick it's still unnerving to have a pest problem. No one wants to find mouse droppings in the cupboard or see roaches scatter every time they turn on the lights.

The obvious solution is to call a professional, but exterminators can be pricey, and many of the weapons they use can be found at your local hardware store -- or even under your kitchen sink. We talked to the experts to find out which do-it-yourself pest control techniques do and don't work. The tricky business of bedbugs
City-dwellers live in fear of bedbugs, knowing an infestation may mean junking your mattress, washing all of your clothes, paying a professional to de-bug your home and possibly ending up a social pariah. But preventing this nightmare scenario is easier said than done. While you can buy a bug-proof mattress cover to keep bugs out (and starve any that are already inside), there's little you can do to prevent a bug from hitching a ride home on your clothes or shoes and setting up shop at your place. "There's no true prevention, other than knowing how not to bring them in in the first place," says Jeffrey White, a research entomologist for BedBug Central, a pest control information Web site. Still, there are a few guidelines for effectively dealing with the pests on your own. White says that if you suspect bedbugs have entered your home, you can get bedbug interceptors -- small traps that surround the legs of your bed and furniture to catch any bugs that try to crawl up. And if you think bedbugs may have already taken up residence in your bed, he advises against spraying pesticides directly on your bed - these will repel but not kill the bugs, which means you may just succeed in spreading them across your home.

Why Are Bed Bug Cures Not Working? Bed Bug Solution Scientists Expose Truth In New Report

Posted on February 13, 2012 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

Justin Douglas of Planet Amazing says that scientists have found new evidence of bed bug resistance to traditional chemical treatments, and that non-toxic treatments are more effective.

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) February 11, 2012

Bed bugs are usually costly and annoying problems, and can even be medically dangerous due to the number of bites that bedbugs make in a single night, multiplied by the fast reproduction rate of bedbugs, according to a new report from scientists at Planet Amazing. Justin Douglas, expert researcher with Planet Amazing, says that bed bugs can multiply from just a few to 1,500 in 90 days, thus causing a terrible infestation that brings other problems.

"There is a bedbug cure that still works," says Mr. Douglas. He has helped cure thousands of bed bug infestations completely through the use of non-toxic, environmentally friendly solutions like Planet Amazing's Bed Bug Shredder non-toxic bedbug cure. "Bed Bug Shredder will always bypass the resistance built up in bedbugs, because the bedbugs are not able to build up an immunity to our non-toxic products."

According to CNN, bedbugs build up a resistance to traditional chemical-based solutions, which are also toxic to pets and humans, so the end result is that bedbugs become immune and household pets or children are in danger from the traditional bedbug treatments.

"Bed Bug Shredder from Planet Amazing is one of three products we have that are highly effective and non-toxic for treating bedbugs. We have a spray, a powder and a laundry additive, all of which work together to form a wall of protection around your family and home when bedbugs are attacking. Best of all, you do not need an expensive exterminator when you have the Planet Amazing bedbug cure products. Exterminators cost about $1,500 per room, but our Bed Bug Shredder product is about $20 per room in comparison. Because the ingredients are safe for pets and humans, you can apply it yourself without an exterminator. It has been proven to be 100% effective with bed bugs and also prevents future infestations."
