Letters to the editor
Discipline begins at home
THE EDITOR,
The problems that the council of
Brussels is having go far beyond
that of Halloween night.
Throughout the entire year, the
residents of Brussels encounter
problems with the youth, such as
being disrespectful of others pro
perty. Why should we, in this
community have to put up fences or
buy a watch dog just to keep
intruders off our property? If, in
the event that a trespasser gets
hurt, who is responsible for the
unfortunate mishap? None other
than the property owner.
It’s the parents that should take
the initiative to discipline their
children. If you can’t be watching
over them 24 hours a day, make a
point of knowing where they are.
Have a friend or neighbour keep an
eye on them for you.
Our community is growing
rapidly and many changes are
being made. Don’t you think it
would be a good idea to teach your
youngsters some responsibility so
Brussels could be a nice little
village to live in? We don’t want the
newcomers to our community
thinking that there are no laws and
their youngsters have a right to run
the town. As parents of a growing
community, we have to stick
together.
What are we going to do about
Halloween night? The police force

smoking in the restaurant now that
the government has declared war
on smoking with its new bill
forbidding advertising and so on.
Mabel said she’s never liked
smoking herself but if Jake Epp
wantspeopletostop smoking in
her restaurant let him come here
and kick the smokers out himself.
Tim said he had to give the
government credit for cracking
down on smoking when it gets so
much money from tobacco taxes.
It’s sort of like biting the hand that
feeds you, he said. Or maybe like
burning the cigarette from both
ends, Ward said.
Hank said at least the trouble the
tobaccofarmers are in has done
one thing for farmers like him.
“It’s always nice to see somebody
who’s in even worse shape than
you are.”
even asked for the Public’s assis
tance in helping to prevent crimes.
A great percentage of crimes are
solved due to the public’s involve
ment.
Non-involvement does not re
solve the crimes. Wouldn’t it ease
the burden on the council mem
bers, if we, as parents volunteered
No humour in poem
THE EDITOR:
I was totally shocked to read the
poem on Page 24 of the April 15th
edition of The Citizen (The Fordy-
first Psalm). I feel the poem is
sacrilegious. There is no humor in
this type of message. To take our
Walkabout stereos can
damage ears: experts
BY SHERYL FEAGAN

CONSULTANT

This is a recent warning from the
Canadian Hearing Society promp
ted by the increasing popularity of
walkabout stereos.
Evidence appears to suggest
that, unless used sensibly, they
can be hazardous to your hearing.
Loud music, just like the noise of a
chain-saw or a jet engine can
damage hearing. A personal stereo
set at volume number six for just 30
minutes can result in some perma
nent hearing loss and once the ear
is damaged it never recovers.
The intensity of sound is the
amount of energy sound sends out
and it is measured in decibels. The
most intense sound in nature is a
thunderclap measuring 120 deci
bels. An amplified rock group can
also reach 120 decibels. Tests show
that stereo headphones, set at
around volume four (on the usual
10 - point scale), produce 95
decibels of sound. Hearing loss
begins at 85 decibels. For compari
son to this level, a jet airplane 100
feet away produces 140 decibels; a
boiler factory, 130 decibels; a
police siren, 100 feet away, 100
decibels; heavy traffic, 90 deci
bels; or a whisper 20 decibels.
According to Health and Welfare
Canada, established permissible
daily noise exposure levels are 90
to walk the streets in couples of two
for a few hours in order to keep our
village a safe place to live in?
Remember, our children are
going to be the leaders of
tomorrow! Would you want them
to run your country?

decibels for four hours daily, ICC
decibles for two hours, or 110
decibles for one-half hour or less.
Occupational health regulations
state that after exposure to 95
decibels for four hours, people
must wear ear protection.
Intense sound affects hearing by
damaging the tiny fragile hair cells
of the inner ear which pick up
sound waves to provide the first
step in transferring sound to the
brain. Once these hair cells
become damaged, .permanent
hearing loss occurs.
Hearing loss is usually a gradual
process and often accompanies the
aging process. It frequently goes
unnoticed by the individual until
someone else points it out. Loud,
persistent sound can cause hearing
loss at ANY AGE.
While experts don’t agree on the
exact effects of stereo/headphone
sets on hearing, they suspect that
prolonged listening with the vol
ume set on high will produce
hearing damage.
Walkabout stereos do have the
advantage of providing the plea
sure of high fidelity sound what
ever the setting and with the use of
headphones - without disturbing
others. They’re obviously here to
stay, but they should be used
sensibly - at a maximum volume
setting of 2 - to ensure that
permanent hearing loss is preven
ted. So turn down the volume ...
even if it’s just for the health of it!
