Ontario Launches New Sport Hosting Program

Province
Increasing
Competition
Opportunities for Ontario Athletes
Ontario is launching a renewed Sport
Hosting Program, which will help bring
major sporting events to the province,
grow local economies and allow more
Ontario athletes to compete at home.

Previously, only international competitions

were eligible for sport hosting funding.
Through this new program, national-level
competitions held in Ontario will also be
eligible.
Ontario's Sport Hosting Program also
includes:
Funding for a variety of winter and
summer sports
An accessibility plan as a requirement
for funding
Changes to the administrative process,
including two regular yearly application
intakes, which will allow hosts to plan

more efficiently and help the province

fund events that strongly support sport
development goals.
Ontario's Sport Hosting Program is part
of Game ON - The Ontario Government's
Sport Plan to help more Ontarians
participate and excel in sport. Game ON
recognizes the many ways organized sport
can be good for people and communities,
from the health benefits of physical activity
to the economic benefits of hosting major
events.
Investing in the development of Ontario
athletes and providing them with more
opportunities to succeed is part of the
government's plan to build Ontario up.
The four-part plan includes investing in
people's talents and skills, making the
largest investment in public infrastructure
in Ontario's history, creating a dynamic,
innovative environment where business
thrives, and building a secure retirement
savings plan.

Why Kevin O'Leary Isn't Donald Trump, And Canada

Isn't The GOP Primary
CP | By Alexander Panetta, The Canadian Press

many and prompted calls to boycott his

businesses, Trump spoke the following
way of migrants: When Mexico sends
its people, theyre not sending their
best. Theyre not sending you... Theyre
bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime.
Theyre rapists.

WASHINGTON Kevin OLeary

is right hes not Donald Trump,
Canadas not the U.S., and should
he run for high office there would be
huge differences between him and the
swirly-haired political phenomenon
sweeping the land to the south.
Every ingredient in Trumps success
story is either absent in Canada or at
the very least carries a mildly different
flavour north of the 49th parallel.
Their CVs certainly sound similar.
Rich businessman. Reality TV host.
Author of multiple financial self-help
books. And, now, OLearys musing
about seeking high office despite
lacking political experience.
Hes quick, however, to stress the
differences: I am certainly not Donald
Trump in policy foreign policy or
domestic or social. We are different
people, OLeary said in an interview.
Consider ingredient No. 1 in Trumps
success: celebrity.
Trump has been a household name in
the U.S. since the dying days of disco.
His love life was supermarket tabloid
fodder back in the grunge era, and
hes not only graced the cover of Time
magazine a few times, but Playboy,
too.
That fame helped him burst out of the
gates in attracting media attention. And
the coverage grew, along with his poll
numbers. Trumps opponents gripe
that hes been allowed to dominate the
airwaves and theyre right. Hes
received most of the airtime, leaving
them starving for any oxygen at all.
OLeary couldnt count on that same
visibility.
That kind of gap would seriously harm a
Trump campaign in Canada. The ranks
of those with a post-secondary education

(in technical and academic programs) are

nine percentage points larger in Canada,
according to 2010 statistics from the
OECD. The gap is even bigger among
those aged 35 to 44 where its a 14 per
cent difference.
The modern economy hasnt been kind to
the lesser-skilled workers.
And that speaks to the third ingredient:
economics.
The middle class is being squeezed in
many countries, including North America.
But its getting squeezed way harder in
the U.S. The OECDs measure of income
inequality shows Canada in the middle of
the pack, whereas the U.S. is the fourthmost unequal country after Mexico, Chile
and Turkey.
Trump promises to turn back the tide on
two factors blamed for hurting lowerskilled U.S. workers: trade deals and
illegal immigration. That back-to-the-past
message is even embedded in his campaign
slogan: Make America Great Again.
Thats closely connected to factor No. 4:
immigration.
Its had an opposite effect on workers
in Canada and the U.S., according to
labour economist George Borjas and
Abdurrahman Aydemir of Statistics
Canada. They found it widened the wage
gap in the U.S., pushing down the salary
of lower-paid Americans with a 10 per
cent shift in the labour supply suppressing
working-class wages by three to four per
cent.
In Canada, they concluded, it made the
country more equal.
Because of its more difficult-to-get-to
location and the design of its immigration
system, they found, higher-skilled
immigrants made it to Canada and they
competed for jobs with wealthier workers.

When Trump addresses the ranks of

the disaffected, he doesnt just talk
immigration and trade. He also disparages
a political system corrupted by money and
special interests.
And theres a fifth difference: Politics is
a multibillion-dollar industry in the U.S.
populated by lobbyists and campaign
consultants. Congress is historically
unpopular, and the people are angry with
political incumbents. In Canada, the
maximum political donation is $1,525 by
individual; corporate donations are banned.
Trumps boasting that hes the incorruptible
billionaire might not pack the same punch
in Canada. Nor would his promises to selffund much of his campaign.
Thats because Elections Canada has a
$25,000 limit you can spend on yourself.

according to one conservative activist

who closely follows the politics of both
countries. The mechanics of campaigning
are vastly different, says Stephen Taylor.
In the U.S., voters register with the
government as a Democrat, Republican or
Independent and that qualifies them to
vote in a primary.
A Canadian leadership candidate needs
to sign up new members, get a campaign
team to reach them, and consult closely
with the party establishment on the rules
and procedures for registration.
Its much more difficult for a self-funded,
ego-driven campaign in Canada, Taylor
said.
A candidate is more dependent on playing
nice within the party... Trump is running an
anti-establishment campaign... A similar
effort in Canada would not bear as much
success.
When it comes to addressing those voters,
theres a final difference: Trump doesnt
need to learn French to communicate with
nearly one-quarter of his country.

Ontario has finalized the details of
the independent commission to assist

The

was established in response to the
Honourable Susan Lang's December
2015 report which found that the
Motherisk hair tests performed between
2005 and 2015 were inadequate and
unreliable for use in child protection
and criminal proceedings. As a result,
she recommended that cases involving
a Motherisk hair test warrant further
review.

Judith C. Beaman will lead a review

and resource centre that will provide
legal, counselling and other support to
individuals involved in child protection
matters that may have been impacted
by a flawed Motherisk test.
One of her first steps will be to develop
and implement a process to identify
potentially
affected
individuals,
inform them about the findings of the
Motherisk Hair Analysis review and
about the resources available through

Dispatches: Government Backs

Down, But Will Protests End in
Ethiopia?

Felix Horne
Researcher, Horn of Africa
Nine weeks after bloody protests broke
out in Ethiopias Oromia region, the
government has made a major concession
to the protestors - halting a plan to
expand the municipal boundary of Addis
Ababa, the issue that sparked the crisis.
Initially the protesters said they feared the
expansion of Addis Ababa would result
in forced displacement of Oromo farmers
without adequate compensation. But as
security forces responded to the protests
with mass arrests, use of live ammunition,
and other brutality, the protests have become
about so much more. While there have been
some violent incidents, most of the protests
have reportedly been peaceful. But the
governments heavy handed approach has
shifted the focus of the protests towards the
brutal crackdown and inflamed historical
grievances against the government.
Despite the announcement, the security
forces dont seem to have changed their
approach. The daily reports of killings by
security forces and mass arrests continue,

particularly

of

university

students.

Many protesters say they are skeptical

that the government will follow through
and halt the plan. But with or without
the plan, the displacement of farmers
is likely to continue as it has in many
parts of Ethiopia, unless the government
fundamentally changes its approach
to development. Until the government
involves communities as meaningful
partners in development, respecting their
land and other rights, rather than just an
obstacle to be removed, protest movements
like this are likely to continue to flare up.
In the short term, if the government wants to
calm the situation it should start by releasing
those arbitrarily arrested and imprisoned. It
should commit to establishing a credible,
independent investigation into the killings
and other violations that have taken
place. And last but not least, it needs to
listen to and begin to address the longer
list of rights violations against Oromo
that have fueled these tragic protests.

Ethiopia Halts Regional Plan

After
Protests
By JACEY FORTINJAN. 13, 2016

Ethiopia Abandons Addis Ababa

Expansion Plan After Deadly
Oromo Student Protests

Kwao Peppeh
Intervew Getachew Reda1Ethiopia
has announced the cancellation of
a controversial development plan
to expand the capital Addis Ababa
into Oromia, the largest region in the
country.
On Wednesday, Getachew Reda,
Ethiopias minister of communication,
confirmed the decision of the ruling
party in Oromia to stop the plan.
If one of the parties to this
arrangement withdraws its support,
this simply means the project cannot
go ahead, Getachew said, according
to Bloomberg.
The Oromo Peoples Democratic
Organization (OPDO) arrived at the
decision to abandon the expansion plan
after three-days of meeting with locals.
Oromia is one of the nine ethnic
politically autonomous regional states
in Ethiopias federal system. The
OPDO occupies all seats in the Oromia
governments
legislature.
Along
with officials from Addis Ababa, the
OPDO would have been officially
responsible for the implementation of
the development project.
OPDO officials reportedly stopped the
implementation of the plan because
a common consensus had not been
reached with the public.
The development of Addis was never
an issue, the development of Oromia
regional state was never an issue,
Getachew said. It was a coordination
of efforts between Addis Ababa and
Oromia that was at stake.
The Master Plan or the Addis Ababa

and the Surrounding Oromia Special

Zone Integrated Development Plan
was initially proposed in 2014.
However, locals have rejected the
plan, which some consider a land grab.
Many against the plan claim it will
have devastating effects on the Oromo
people.
Hundreds, including university, high
school and even primary students, were
reportedly involved in violent protests
against the expansion plan.
According to Human Rights Watch,
about 140 people have died in violent
clashes with Ethiopia security officials
since November when the plan was
reintroduced.
The government has always insisted
that the plan would benefit both Addis
Ababa and the Oromo people.
Without giving specific figures,
officials have acknowledged significant
causalities in the protests. However,
officials have also disputed Human
Rights Watch reports, describing their
figures of the death toll as inflated.
The government says the protests,
which started as peaceful, were
later high-jacked by forces with the
intentions of destabilizing the country.
Getachew said although the master
plan has been abandoned, the
government will continue its effort to
develop Addis Ababa and surrounding
towns in Oromia.
The master plan will only be
implemented after in-depth discussions
and a consensus has been reached with
the public.

Sudan, Ethiopia to complete border demarcation this year

including Atbara, Setait and Baslam rivers.
On Saturday, Sudans foreign minister
Ibrahim Ghandour told the Qatar-based
Aljazeera TV that Sudan and Ethiopia are
working together to curb the activities of
Ethiopian gangs inside Sudanese territory.
He stressed that Al-Fashaga is a Sudanese
territory, saying the government allowed
Ethiopia farmers to cultivate its land as part of
the cooperation between the two countries.
However, Ethiopia is committed
and acknowledges that [Al-Fashaga]
is a Sudanese territory, he said.
January 17, 2016 (KHARTOUM) The technical committee tasked with
redrawing the border between Sudan
and Ethiopia said it would complete its
work on the ground during this year.
In November 2014, Ethiopias Prime
Minister Hailemariam Desalegn and
Sudans President Omer al-Bashir instructed
their foreign ministers to set up a date for
resuming borders demarcation after it had
stopped following the death of Ethiopias
former Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi.

Ethiopia doesnt face any problems.

He pointed out that the length of
the border with Ethiopia is about
725 km, saying the process of
demarcation is proceeding properly.
Farmers from two sides of the border
between Sudan and Ethiopia used to

Ethiopia: $50 million needed to

tackle food insecurity caused by
El Nio-induced
drought, says UN

15 January 2016 As the worst El

Nio-induced drought has sparked a
sharp deterioration in food security and
massive drop in agricultural and pastoral
production in Ethiopia: $50 million
needed to tackle food insecurity caused
by El Nio-induced drought, says UN
by ethioadmin on January 17, 2016 in
English News 001-15-2016 Ethiopi ary,
FAO Representative for Ethiopia, adding
that continued drought throughout the
beginning of 2016 also means pasture
will become even more scarce, which
will negatively impact livestock keepers
that rely on those grazing lands and water
points for their food security.
The current El Nio pattern, being the
strongest ever recorded, has caused
severe drought in the Horn of Africa
nation, resulting in crop reduction by
50 to 90 per cent; even failure in some
regions. Thus, some 10.2 million people
are food insecure and farmers have been
left vulnerable without valuable seeds for

upcoming planting season.

Moreover, livestock will become leaner,
sicker and less productive and perish, as
worsening access to pasture and water
continues, according to FAOs latest
assessments. Meanwhile, malnutrition
rates have spiked and the number of
severe acute malnutrition admissions for
children is now the highest ever reported.
In response, FAO has outlined an
emergency roadmap aiming at assisting
1.8 million farmers and livestock keepers,
reducing food gaps, and restoring
agricultural production and incomes in
2016.
$50 million is now sought from the
international community by FAO to reach
and this is an immediate need because we
have to be there in the next few weeks for
them for the farmers and pastoralists to
start agriculture and this is a very urgent
need for assistance, Shukri Ahmed, FAO

Ghandour pointed to joint meetings

between the two countries at the level of
the presidency to discuss borders issues.
Sudans Gadarif and Blue Nile states border
Ethiopias Amhara region. The borders
between Sudan and Ethiopia were drawn by
the British and Italian colonisers in 1908.
The two governments have agreed in the
past to redraw the borders, and to promote
joint projects between people from both
sides for the benefit of local population.
However, the Ethiopian opposition
accuses the ruling party of abandoning
Ethiopian
territory
to
Sudan.
DISPUTE

OVER

HALAYEB

Regarding the dispute with Egypt

over Halayeb triangle, al-Sadig said
Khartoum has documents clearly proving

that the area is a Sudanese territory.

He pointed that Sudan has not engaged
in meetings with the Egyptian side
on Halayeb, saying the issue could be
referred to international arbitration
as was the case during the dispute
between Egypt and Israel over Taba area.
We dont oppose [referral of the case to
the] international arbitration to resolve
the issue particularly as Sudan has maps
as well as legal and historical documents
proving that Halayeb and Shalateen are
part of the Sudanese territory, he said.
The Halayeb triangle overlooks the
Red Sea and has been a contentious
issue between Egypt and Sudan since
1958, shortly after Sudan gained
independence from British-Egyptian rule.
The contested border area has been under
de facto Egyptian administration since
the mid-1990s, but both countries have
jockeyed for its control for over a century.
Egypt
brushed
aside
Sudans
repeated calls for referring the
dispute to international arbitration.
Earlier this month, Sudans foreign
minister Ibrahim Ghandour told a group
of Egyptian politicians in Cairo that
the dispute over Halayeb area cant be
resolved by imposing a fait accompli but
through dialogue or by referring the case
to the concerned international institutions.

WENCHI, Ethiopia The cows are back in the valley

near the village of Wenchi in Ethiopias highlands,
after being driven out five years ago by the arrival of
a Dutch agricultural company.
They returned in the past few weeks, after villagers
burned the warehouses filled with seed potatoes that
were to be planted on communal grazing lands that
authorities had turned over to the Solagrow PLC
company.
This attack is among dozens of demonstrations
taking place for the past two months across Ethiopias
Oromo state, which comprises a third of the country.
Protesters from the Oromo ethnic group say the
government is trying to take away their lands and
use them for everything from industrial development
to luxury housing projects.
The response has been harsh, with Human Rights
Watch estimating that 140 people have been killed by
security forces using live rounds to quell the protests.
The demonstrations are threatening Ethiopias goal
of transforming itself into a new industrial and
agribusiness powerhouse for the continent and
harming its reputation for stability.
Map

Federalist Congress party.

The government says only that significant
numbers of civilians have been killed and
justifies the violence by saying that armed
elements and extremists in the protests at times
have nearly overwhelmed security forces.
Government spokesman Getachew Reda noted
that at least a dozen members of the security
forces have been killed.
Addis was established 150 years ago by
Ethiopias dominant Amhara people in the heart
of Oromo territory, and its expansion has come
at the expense of the local Oromo farmers. The
announcement of a master plan to manage the
citys expansion was seen as the latest attempt
to take more land.
In interviews in villages across the Oromo
region, young students and aging farmers said
the unrest was because of the plan. But there is a
deeper vein of dissatisfaction among the Oromo
people, who make up some 40 percent of the
countrys population of nearly 100 million.
Oromos feel they are treated like secondclass citizens and complain that corrupt

imagine what he would do if the order ever came
to confiscate his land for an investment project.
They would have to take us by force, he said
in the shady clearing ringed by eucalyptus trees
next to his house, made of wood faced with
mud.
Oromo authorities announced on Wednesday
that the master plan would not be implemented.
But that may not stop the demonstrations.
People have grievances
The regional center of Woliso witnessed some
of the largest protests in the area in midDecember, said Seyoum Teshome, a lecturer at
the local university.
He said the protests were peaceful until the
feared federal police appeared and started firing
tear gas and live rounds, after which the crowds
went on a rampage, targeting the property of
government officials.
The damage itself indicates what was the real
problem, Teshome said, adding that under
the countrys authoritarian system, the people
have few ways of making their grievances
heard. They (the Oromo) use the master plan
to demonstrate their grievances and frustration
with the poor administration, he said.
In legislative elections in May, not a single
opposition candidate won a seat, prompting
accusations of widespread vote fraud by the
ruling party.
Reda, the spokesman for the Ethio
pian
government, said the master plan has been
misunderstood and the Oromo people are
victims of poor local government, which
national authorities will address.
There have been areas where the government
has identified serious challenges in terms of
good governance and delivery of services, he
said, acknowledging that compensating farmers
for confiscated land has often been mishandled.

The violence has also earned Ethiopia a rare

rebuke from the U.S. government, which
considers it a key ally in the fight against
terrorism.
We were protesting peacefully and marching
around the town when we heard about the
deaths in the other villages, and so we became
angry and attacked the farm, said 27-year-old
Drabuma Terrafa, standing near the charred
remnants of a Solagrow potato warehouse.
Ethiopias
federal
police
and
army
counterterrorism units have poured into the
state. In more than a dozen interviews, people
described arbitrary arrests, beatings and killings
by security forces.
I think the strategy is to terrorize people
by shooting them point blank, said Merera
Gudina, the chairman of the opposition Oromo

local officials demand bribes and make

money off shady land deals that dont
give
farmers
enough
compensation.
In a sign of how deep the grievances are, the
protests are not just in the areas close to the
capital that would be affected by the master
plan.
Terrafa, the demonstrator in Wenchi, said that
villagers were angry because the grazing land
had been taken away with no compensation. Jan
van de Haar of Solagrow said in an email that
since no one owned the land, no compensation
had been paid, but that the Dutch company
hadworked peacefully for the past six years.
If there was ever any argument, we used to
discuss and solve it with the Wenchi elders,
he said, In the town of Asgouri, 37 miles from
Addis, locals attacked a commercial flower farm
during the protests and destroyed the generators

Its not entirely surprising that people have

grievances.

He said there were already plans underway to
remove corrupt officials.
The U.S. government has rebuked Ethi
o
pia
over the use of counterterror troops, the death
toll and the imprisonment of students, activists,
journalists and politicians in connection with
the demonstrations.
In recent weeks, it appears the number of

towns and villages have withdrawn to their
barracks in favor of the local police forces.
In Wenchi, however, the arrests continue,
Terrafa said.
He said one of his friends is recovering at home
after being shot in the leg when soldiers opened
fire a few weeks ago, while another man he
knows was killed.
I am ready to sacrifice my life for the cause of
my people, he said, promising to continue the
protests.

Fearless, committed to and in love with the
concept of democracy, freedom and justice.
It is unfulfilled dream of my generation,
the generation before me, and the current
generation. What a curse. I murmured to
myself.
As I stood up to leave, the mourning mother
gave me a warm hug and gently asked me to
come and visit her again. I promised to return
and left fighting my tears. On my way out I
couldnt help but to think of her loneliness,
the eerie quite in the house once full of playful
energy with two handsome boys. I tried to
understand and even feel a mothers sorrow.
I can only pretend.
I have heard the name Agazi before, many
times in fact. People in Ethiopia talk about
Agazi with an understanding of some kind of
foreign occupying army. The actions of the
group according to those who encountered or
witnessed say Agazis are a killing machine.
Indiscriminate killers who do not distinguish
between children and adults, the elderly
and the youth, men and women, armed and
unarmed. They just kill, and it is fair to say

European Union asked to break silence on killing of Oromo

protesters in Ethiopia - [Deutsche Welle]

coalition, the Ethiopian Peoples Revolutionary

Democratic Front (EPRDF), won 100 percent of
the seats in parliament.

could be threatened by hunger this year.

Donor darling Ethiopia
With Ethiopia ranking fifth on the table of aid
recipients globally, raking in some $3.8 billion
(3.5 billion euros) in 2014, donor countries
have a responsibility to follow up on how the
government handles human rights issues,
Daniel Bekele, Executive Director with HRWs
Africa Division, told DW.

January 15, 2016: EU asked to break

silenceRights groups claim that Ethiopian
security forces have killed at least 140
protesters. The Ethiopian foreign minister is
in Brussels to answer questions by members
of the European Parliament on the alleged
offences.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) last week alleged
that Ethiopian security forces had killed at
least 140 protesters and injured many more.
Opposition parties and activists asserted
thousands of Oromo protesters had been
arrested and injured since the protests started
in mid-November.
In a surprise move on Wednesday (13.01.2016),
the Oromo Peoples Democratic Organization
(OPDO) party, which is part of the ruling
coalition, announced that it wanted to halt
the so-called Addis Ababa Masterplan which
is at the root of the ongoing crisis. The plan
involves the expansion of the capital into the
surrounding Oromia region. Government

spokesman Getachew Reda told reporters that

the government would respect this decision,
but that they would still prosecute those who
had participated in the protests.
The plans to expand Addis Ababa were hotly
contested by members of Ethiopias largest
ethnic group. Universities across the country
turned into battlefields, with police firing
live bullets to disperse the crowds. On social
media, Ethiopians united under the hashtag
#OromoProtests and Ethiopians of all ethnic
backgrounds staged vigils all around the world.
On the eve of the hearing of Foreign Minister
Tedros Adhanom in Brussels, rights groups
insisted that EU officials should convey serious
concerns about Ethiopian security forces
against the Oromo protesters.
Another topic on the Brussels agenda is the
recurrent drought that has hit the country.
Estimates say that as many as 15 million people

His concern is echoed by EU advocacy director

at HRW, Lotte Leicht, who says [the] European
Union should break its silence and condemn
Ethiopias brutal use of force to quell the Oromo
protests. Being the single largest donor, the
EU should press the Ethiopian government to
respond with talks rather than gunfire to the
protesters grievances.
The US State Department earlier urged the
Ethiopian government to permit peaceful
protest and commit to a constructive dialogue
to address legitimate grievances.
The Ethiopian government denies the alleged
death toll of 140. Government spokesman
Reda instead accused the Oromo protesters of
terrorizing civilians.
Ethiopian legal expert Awol Kassim Allo said he
would like to see a space for all Ethiopians to
participate in the political arena. Only with such
an approach can there be a possibility of paving
a way to move forward, he told DW. In the last
general elections in May 2105, Ethiopias ruling

Cultural genocide
In a recent debate, Bekele Naga, Secretary
General of the opposition Oromo Federalist
Congress (OFC), told DWs Amharic Service that
the constitution of the country proclaims that
the land belongs to the people. He added that
the Ethiopian government has been engaged in
land-grabbing, leading to cultural genocide [of
the Oromo people]. Another Ethiopian legal
expert, Tsegaye Ararsa, complained that no
government officials, including Prime Minister
Hailemariam Desalegn, have publicly voiced
regret over the loss of young protesters lives.
He believes there should be an independent
fact-finding committee to look into the case.

Senior Economist, appealed in a video
interview.

First, FAO plans to assist 131,500

households
through
agricultural
production, especially for the first half
of 2016. This includes emergency seed
distribution,
small-scale
irrigation
and backyard gardening initiatives,
support for seed producers and womens
empowerment.
Next,
some
293,000
households
will benefit from FAOs livestock
interventions, such as the distribution
of emergency animal feed, vaccination
drives, restocking of 100,000 goats and
sheep to vulnerable households, as well as
cash-for-livestock exchange programmes.
Another response plan will focus on
resilience-building for 30,700 households,
including cash-for-work programmes that

will boost families incomes and improve

critical local infrastructure and water
access for livestock.
Further, FAO and partners are supportive
for the ongoing governmental productive
capacity rebuilding programmes.
In Ethiopia, El Nio is not just a food
crisis its above all a livelihood crisis,
said Dominique Burgeon, Leader of
FAOs Strategic Programme on Resilience
and Director of FAOs Emergencies and
Rehabilitation Division.
And we need to intervene now to protect
and rebuild these livelihoods and peoples
capacity to produce, to prevent families
from becoming long-term dependent on
food aid, Mr. Burgeon underscored.

The classical Chinese explanation is

that channels of energy run in regular
patterns through the body and over its
surface. These energy channels, called
meridians, are like rivers flowing
through the body to irrigate and
nourish the tissues. An obstruction in
the movement of these energy rivers
is like a dam that backs up the flow.

The modern scientific explanation

is that needling the acupuncture
points
stimulates
the
nervous
system to release chemicals in the
muscles, spinal cord, and brain.
These chemicals will either change
the experience of pain, or they will
trigger the release of other chemicals
and hormones which influence the
body's own internal regulating system.

The meridians can be influenced by

needling the acupuncture points; the
acupuncture needles unblock the
obstructions at the dams, and reestablish
the regular flow through the meridians.

The improved energy and biochemical

balance produced by acupuncture
results in stimulating the body's natural
healing abilities, and in promoting
physical and emotional well-being.

HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE

WORK?
Acupuncture treatments can therefore

help the body's internal organs to

correct imbalances in their digestion,
absorption, and energy production
activities, and in the circulation of
their energy through the meridians.

Acupuncture is a method of
encouraging the body to promote
natural healing and to improve
functioning. This is done by inserting
needles, and in some instances,
applying heat or electrical stimulation
at very precise acupuncture points.
