Angling for fishing fun in Havelock BY BILL FREEMAN
Havelock — Call it flood watch weekend, but wet weather didn’t stop over 100 children and their families from flocking to Rotary Park in Havelock for some fishing fun. The second annual children’s fishing derby was another angling success with prizes galore and chances to haul in some brook trout which had been stocked in the beautiful pond that flows from Plato Creek into the park. “We’re really happy with the turnout and hope this is something that continues into the future,” said Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Coun. Hart Webb. “The more we can build on things like this and get the community involved, (council’s) more than happy to get involved. It brings our community together and it’s something for our youth to do.” “Events like this don’t go without sponsors in small towns,” Webb said. On board were the Trent River Rod and Gun Club, the HavelockBelmont-Methuen fire department, Havelock Lions Club, Kawartha Stone Works, the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and J & L Motors. “It’s great to see them continue this again,” said Erin Gerow with son Silas and his cousin Payten Finch fishing nearby. “I think it’s a great activity for kids and families. We came last year and we will certainly come again. It’s nice to be out and be with nature and enjoy it.” “This is a great event to get kids

out and into fishing and outdoor sports and getting them to enjoy the area,” added Frances Gerow. Webb says Rotary Park is a “jewel” more people should discover. “It’s been recognized by certain members of the community and that’s why we’re pushing to have not just this event. I think in the future you’ll see more events here.” Webb says council has talked about possibly doing some pond restoration and shoreline work to make it a “little more public-friendly." “I do think the public will respond in kind.” “People have come through again,” added Pascal Hill, who brought the fishing derby idea to council last year. “I’m glad to see it take off.”

BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Trent Hills – Residents living along the Trent River were warned Monday afternoon to expect more flooding as a result of “extremely wet conditions” caused by above normal rainfall that began in April. Lower Trent Conservation said the flood warning it issued May 5 for the river from Hastings to Trenton
remained in effect this week and that further increases in water levels and flows were expected for at least another seven to 10 days, as inflows from upstream in the Haliburton and Kawartha Lakes areas “continue to rise.” However, the “rate of rise will slow during the week as there is no significant rainfall in the forecast” -- unlike what

KS FIREWOR
Water was pouring furiously through the dam on Saskatoon Avenue in Campbellford May 7. John Campbell/Metroland
took place the first week of May. Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake, the municipality’s community emergency management coordinator, said there has been flooding in low-lying areas such as Green Acres near Hoards Station and at the lower end of Cedar Street in Hastings. The municipality’s emergency control group began meeting Sunday to monitor the situation and will continue to meet “until the water levels stabilize,” said emergency information officer Kira Mees. Unlike the last time there was a major flood in Trent Hills, in 2014, firefighters were not being sent out to build walls of sandbags to protect residences threatened by rising water.
“We’re urging residents to do that themselves,” Blake said, because “we just don’t have the manpower to do that for everybody ... (and) we can’t be everywhere at once.” Instead people were being encouraged to pick up sandbagging supplies the municipality was providing at fire stations in Campbellford and Hastings along with sand at depots in the two communities. As of Monday afternoon, eight properties had been sandbagged by property owners with the help of others, Blake said. Anne Ruest, 82, was “disgusted,” however, that municipal forces were no longer sandbagging but she was glad “good friends and neighbours” had taken on that role Monday as
well as pumped out water from at her home in Green Acres. She’s lived there since 1969 and has had her property flooded numerous times. “We shall survive,” Ruest said, but admitted the time had come to think about moving. The waterway appears to have the situation “under control” and while flows through the system are likely to increase, it should be able to “keep them within manageable range ... The canal has been doing a good job.” For now, “it’s a waitand-see game,” he added. “We’re fighting Mother Nature.” For information on water level monitoring, call Lower Trent Conservation at 613-394-4829 or visit www.ltc.on.ca.

Tweed council does not support recommendations LYNN MARRIOTT
Tweed — Tweed council discussed recommendations for a farm tax reduction, septic tank legislation and a Madoc take water permit. Council received several recommendations at their regular meeting on April 25. They supported some and decided not to support others. At the Hastings County Personal and Finance meeting, a delegation requested a reduction in farmland tax rate, reported Mayor Albert, Tweed County council representative. Farm taxes are presently reduced 75 per cent. “We did not change it,” said Albert. “The county will pass the recommendation that the farm tax rate remain at 25 per cent.” Tweed agreed “to disagree” with several Ontario municipalities and not support a provincial building code amendment that would make it mandatory that all septic tanks be pumped out every five years. Tweed did not support a Take Water permit by Danford Granite to pump water from the
Danford Granite Quarry. “Council has real concerns for personal wells in the area,” said Coun. Don DeGenova, “ especially during a drought like last year.” Council also felt that only eight days, over the Easter weekend, to respond to this application was “unacceptable.” Tweed did agree to proceed with several Tweed Community Development recommendations. It will install a new electronic signboard at the approximate cost of $13,000. The Agricultural Society will receive $500 for their Hallowe’en Haunted Hall. The Chamber of Commerce may have the use of the bridge and hydro for the Canada 150 celebrations and they will proceed with fire hydrant painting. The Elvis Festival will need to make a donation application to council. The Community Development Canada 150 budget and festivities will proceed and it will continue to create videos for local businesses, as time permits. Tweed also passed motions to pay: $598.50 for

Rawdon Creek high, but not quite mighty BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling—Despite all the heavy rain in the past week, the Village of Stirling remained relatively unaffected by flooding concerns — at least until Saturday, May 6. On Friday, Matthew Richmond, Stirling-Rawdon’s Chief Operator of Water & Wastewater, said he had driven through town and has not seen any problems. “Rawdon Creek is pretty high,” he said, but added, “We don’t have any flooding concerns right now.” Rawdon Creek runs right through the village. Richmond said the Public Works Department has been proac-
tive in checking storm drains and catch basins to ensure there is no debris preventing storm water from escaping, and Public Works Superintendent George Burkitt has been driving through the rural parts of the township to ensure there are no serious flooding problems. But as heavy rain continued into Saturday, Rawdon Creek rose higher, and some homes built on what is now designated as a flood plain could have experienced basement flooding, unless they were properly flood-proofed, said Janet Noyes, manager of development services and water resources for Lower Trent Conservation. On Monday, she
said, “I didn’t get any calls at all (about basement flooding).” While Rawdon Creek was high and flowing fast, “We weren’t anywhere near any 10-year flow,” she added. Councillor Bob Mullin, who is council’s representative on the Lower Trent board, said there were some calls to the township about flooded basements on the weekend. “Friday was fine, but Saturday we had some issues,” he said. Mullin stressed that any sewage backing up into basements would have been caused by people hooking their sump pumps into the sewer system,
Henry Street Park in Stirling was completely underwater on Saturday, May 6, after heavy rainfall caused Rawdon Creek to spill over its banks.

NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF OFFICAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 3 AND THE PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW TAKE NOTICE that on the 1st day of May, 2017, the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen adopted Official Plan Amendment No. 3 to the Official Plan of the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen by By-law No. 2017-049 under Section 17 of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990 and also passed By-law No. 2017-050 under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990 to amend the Comprehensive Zoning By-law for the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen. AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or agency may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of By-law 2017-050 by filing with the Clerk of the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen not later than the 24th day of May 2017 a notice of appeal setting out the reasons for the objection to the By-law and reasons in support of the objection to the By-law. The notice of appeal must be accompanied by a cheque for $300.00 made payable to the Minister of Finance. The requisite appeal form may be located at http://elto.gov.on.ca/omb/. AND TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that prior to the passing of By-law No. 2017-050 Council received no oral and/or written submissions which resulted in revisions to the by-law. PURPOSE AND EFFECT A recent Supreme Court of Ontario decision has established that municipalities are responsible for setting policies for in-water structures, in addition to the policies governing the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. Official Plan Amendment No. 3 and Zoning By-law 2017-050 will better define the Township’s policies regarding in-water structures. KEY MAP Official Plan Amendment No. 3 and Zoning By-law 2017-050 have application to the entire Municipality; therefore a key map has not been provided with this Notice. INFORMATION The complete Official Plan Amendment No. 3 and By-law 2017-050 are available for inspection at the Township Office during regular office hours.
something they are not supposed to do and have been warned about many times. The township is urging residents to ensure that their sump pumps are discharging into the storm water system and not into the sanitary sewers. There is more information for residents on the township’s website at http://www. stirling-rawdon.com Henry Street Park in Stirling is located on a flood plain. When the creek rose, it spilled its banks and flooded the entire park, compounding flooding from the rainfall itself. Water was nearing the tops of picnic tables on Saturday. “That’s as bad as I’ve ever seen it,” Mullin said. “It (the heavy rainfall) was an exceptional event.” Sarah Midlane-Jones at Lower Trent Conservation agreed. “Basically, we’ve had above-normal rainfall for April and May, 140 per cent of normal for April and, for the first few days of May, we’ve had 208 per cent of normal,” she said Monday. The good news is that Rawdon Creek is now going back down. However, in sections of the creek without retaining walls, there probably will be erosion of the creek banks because of the speed and force of the water, she
said. Mullin and Noyse said there are no plans for an extension of the retaining barriers along the creek. “I can’t see Lower Trent doing any more work in Stirling,” said Mullin. “We’ve never discussed that with the town,” said Midlane-Jones. “There’d be a lot of studies involved to look at that.” The good news is that all that rain also was beneficial for Stirling, since the town relies on natural underground aquifers to supply its wells. “The aquifers have recharged quite a bit since last summer,” Richmond said Friday. “We have sufficient volume (in the wells).” Last summer, little spring runoff and lack of rainfall caused the water levels in the town’s wells to drop significantly. A Level One (low water alert) was announced in June 2016, which escalated to a Level Two in July and a Level Three in August. On Oct. 17, Stirling-Rawdon Council passed a resolution demanding that residents to cut their water use by 50 per cent. The restrictions were eased as the aquifers began to recover over the winter, although residents were still asked to conserve water.
NOTICE OF DECISION: ANY PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY is entitled to receive notice of the decision of the County of Peterborough in respect of this Official Plan Amendment provided a written request to be notified of the decision is made to the County of Peterborough at: The Planning Department, County of Peterborough, Court House, 470 Water Street, Peterborough, Ontario, K9H 3M3.

OPINION
The Korean Crisis: Why now? Apart from Donald Trump’s need for a dramatic foreign policy initiative, is there any good reason why we are having a crisis over North Korea’s nuclear weapons testing now? If the PyongGwynne Dyer yang regime is really planning an underground nuclear test soon, as Washington alleges, it will be the sixth bomb test it has carried out, not the first. That hardly qualifies as a new development that requires urgent action. The same goes for its ballistic missile tests, which have been ongoing for many years. Nothing new is going on in North Korea. In South Korea, on the other hand, things may be about to change a lot. The candidate predicted to win the presidency in Tuesday’s election, Moon Jae-in, favours a much softer policy towards North Korea. He has even promised to re-open industrial and tourist projects in North that were financed by South Korea under the last Democratic (centre-left) government. A decade ago, when Moon’s Democratic Party was still in power in Seoul, he was chief of staff to President Roh Moo-hyun and the so-called Sunshine Policy of reconciliation with North Korea was the order of the day. The goal was to create commercial, financial and personal ties between the two Koreas, and to that end South Korea sent aid and investment to the North. It’s impossible to say whether that would eventually have led to a less tense and militarised situation in the Korean peninsula, because in the 2008 election the conservatives won and scrapped the Sunshine Policy. The past nine years under right-wing governments have seen North-South relations re-frozen and the investments in North Korea closed down by Seoul. In this week’s election, however, Moon Jae-in is far in the lead, with the Eurasia Group, the world’s largest political risk consultancy, giving him an 80 percent chance of winning the presidency. If he wins, he says he will reopen economic ties with North Korea in a policy his advisers call Sunshine 2.0. This runs directly contrary to Trump’s policy of tightening economic sanctions against the North and even threatening military action to force Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear weapons programme. So the
News. CENTRAL HASTINGS TRENT HILLS
®
question is: Has the Trump administration pushed a military confrontation with North Korea to the top of its foreign policy agenda in order to pre-empt Moon Jae-in’s new Sunshine policy? Given the chaos that reigns in the Trump White House, this may not be the case. It could just be that Trump is making policy on the fly, and that he neither knows nor cares about the domestic politics of South Korea. But some recent US actions point to a deliberate attempt to get the confrontation going before Moon takes office. One clue could be the sudden rush to deploy the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) system in South Korea before the election. It’s a system designed to intercept short- and medium-range ballistic missiles of the sort that North Korea might use to deliver nuclear weapons on South Korea (and maybe Japan) if it ever managed to make its nuclear weapons small enough to fit on them. A reasonable precaution, perhaps – but THAAD was originally scheduled to be installed in South Korea between August and October of this year. Then suddenly it arrived in the country in March, and was “operational” (at least in theory) by last month. Moon will now have great difficulty in reversing that decision, assuming that he becomes president, and the North Koreans are predictably waxing hysterical about it. On the other hand, Trump shocked the South Koreans by announcing at the end of April that South Korea would have to pay $1 billion for the THAAD system, despite an existing agreement that the US would bear the cost. He also declared that he was going to renegotiate the existing free trade agreement between the two countries. Which suggests that there is no clever plan, just the usual stumbling around in the dark. Whether the US is deliberately manipulating events or not, Moon Jae-in will be in a difficult situation if he becomes president. He quite rightly believes that there is no need for a crisis this year to resolve a problem that has been simmering away (but never boiling over) for at least fifteen years, but unless he goes along with it he will find himself in a confrontation with Donald Trump. Could he win it? He could if he has strong support at home. South Koreans are divided more or less evenly between a hard and a soft approach to North Korea, but they all agree that they don’t want a war in which they would be the primary victims. Trump’s reckless style could frighten them into Moon’s arms.

Pharmacare should be for all Opinion by Steve Morgan Ontario has announced it will offer a publicly funded pharmacare system for children and youth in Ontario. This is a small step in the right direction, one that is arguably most important for its symbolism in a national debate. Why just a small step? Because Ontario is adding universal, comprehensive pharmacare coverage to the age group that uses medicines least often. Many working-age Ontarians, who are far more likely to require medicines than children, will still be uninsured. Why symbolic? Ontario’s new pharmacare program signals that government is taking responsibility for this component of health care, integrating it with medical and hospital care. This is as it should be. Several national commissions on Canada’s health care system have recommended adding prescription drugs to our publicly funded universal medicare system. No federal government has ever acted on those recommendations. Not yet, anyhow. By creating “pharmacare-junior,” Premier Kathleen Wynne and Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Eric Hoskins are in essence calling on the federal government to help finish the job and create a pharmacare program for Canadians of all ages. Here are four reasons why Canada needs a universal, public pharmacare program — and what Canadians can do to make it happen now. • The most important reason for universal pharmacare in Canada is that access to essential medicines is a human right according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO recommends countries protect that right in law and with pharmaceutical policies that work in conjunction with their broader systems of universal health coverage. Consistent with this, every other high-income country with a universal health care system provides universal coverage of prescription drugs. It is time Canada did the same. • It would save lives. Canada’s patchwork of private and public drug plans leaves millions of Canadians without coverage. As a result, Canadians are three to five times more likely to skip prescriptions because of cost than are residents of comparable countries with universal pharmacare programs. A 2012 study estimated that inequities in drug coverage for working-age Ontarians with diabetes were associated with 5,000 deaths between 2002 and 2008. Nationally, this human toll would be far greater. • It would save billions of dollars every year.

Canadians spend 50 per cent more per capita on pharmaceuticals than residents of the United Kingdom, Sweden, New Zealand and several other countries with universal pharmacare programs. This amounts to spending $12 billion more each year and still not having pharmacare. Why? Because the universal pharmacare programs in other countries use their purchasing power to obtain better drug prices than our fractured system. Among many examples of such price differences, a year’s supply of atorvastatin, a widely used cholesterol drug, costs about $143 in Canada but only $27 in the United Kingdom and Sweden, and under $15 in New Zealand. • It would help Canadian businesses. The rising cost of pharmaceuticals are a growing burden for businesses. Part of the problem is that Canadian employers waste between $3 billion and $5 billion per year because employment-related private insurance is ill equipped to manage pharmaceutical costs effectively. Another part of the problem is that the number of prescription drugs costing more than $10,000 per year has grown almost tenfold in the past decade. Because such costs can quickly render a work-related health plan unsustainable — particularly for small businesses — it is best to manage them at a province- or nation-wide basis. But this will not happen unless citizens speak up. Billions of dollars in savings to Canadian taxpayers, employers and households equals billions of dollars of lost revenues to pharmaceutical industry stakeholders. Those stakeholders will not likely make it easy for government to implement universal pharmacare, no matter the benefit to Canadians and the broader economy. To make pharmacare a reality for Canada, citizens need to get informed and involved. If they support the idea of universal, public pharmacare, they need to let others, particularly elected officials and political candidates, know they care and that they will support a government that takes action. There is a parliamentary e-petition circulating right now in the hope of doing just that. Without such a groundswell of public engagement, it is unlikely the federal government will implement a universal pharmacare program any time soon.

Stirling Automotive Flea Market draws good crowds BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling—Crowds were undeterred by rain and mud on Saturday and Sunday, May 6-7, during the annual Stirling Automotive Flea Market at the Stirling Arena. The event, hosted by the agricultural society, drew people looking for automotive collectibles, off-road vehicles, toys and unusual flea-market finds. Many people slogged through the mud to visit intrepid outdoor vendors, while others browsed the vendor tables in the arena. Roxanne Hearns, one of the event organizers and agricultural society treasurer, said Monday that the event was a success despite the weather and soggy ground keeping a few people away. “We we pleased with the outcome,” Hearns said. “I was impressed with the number of vendors who came out.” A lot of people were seen leaving with treasures ranging from tiny toy cars to full-size all-terrain cycles and vehicle parts.

Downpour turns to outpour of support for the Bridge Hospice BY SUE DICKENS
Warkworth — Heavy rain, high creek waters and flooded trails could not deter people or ducks from supporting the Bridge Hospice at Saturday’s Spring Walk and Rubber Duck Race. Organizers thanked pledge donors, participants and sponsors for their support, and for raising “an astounding $17,000.” About 100 hearty souls of all ages turned out, including individuals and fundraising teams from businesses, health care groups, service clubs, sponsors,
volunteers, and families of past residents at the hospice. When creek levels forced the cancellation of the duck race, organizers improvised a flying duck contest inside the Warkworth Arena, involving a parachute and a lot of help from participants to shake out the top two prizewinning ducks. Marshalled by the Warkworth Community Service Club, walkers then took a tour of Warkworth village streets, in lieu of the soggy Millennium Trail. Kathleen Powe, chair of the

Horticultural society gets ready for big plant sale
Blooms day in Hastings is May 13 BY BILL FREEMAN
BY BILL FREEMAN
Norwood— The Norwood and District Horticultural Society’s May plant sale is pretty much a rite of spring. The weather might not always co-operate, but the tables laden with plants, herbs and other garden goodies are more than enough to draw gardeners to the side lawn at Norwood United Church. This year’s sale is slated for May 13 beginning at 9 a.m. and will run until things are sold out. Organizers stress that there will be no sales until 9 a.m. The sale will feature herbs, vegetables, perennials, annuals, house plants plus a small selection of gently-used garden implements and accessories. There will also be some handcrafted garden decor. As is usual, there will be master gardeners on site to answer questions. The society welcomes new members and guarantees interesting and informative meetings. The society has several master gardeners, which means there’s plenty of expertise and knowledge available to members. “That’s part of being a master gardener, we want to share,” says member and master gardener Judy Barnard. “There’s a lot of benefit to a hort. society. If you are interested in anything environmental or ecological, we try to promote growing plants without chemicals; we promote natural ways of dealing with things.” The society is celebrating its 24th anniversary and has members from Marmora, Norwood, Havelock, Campbellford, Hastings, Peterborough, Roseneath, Cotesloe and Indian River.
showed how much they value the Bridge Hospice. I’m really moved by this remarkable caring community.” The Bridge Hospice is a threebed residential hospice providing end-of-life care at no cost to families. Located in Warkworth, the hospice serves the people of Northumberland County and greater region, offering professional and compassionate care 24/7 while supporting loved ones. The hospice relies on donations to cover day-to-day operating costs.
Big Bike teams raise $6,623 for Heart and Stroke BY SUE DICKENS
Campbellford — The Heart and Stroke Big Bike event returned to Campbellford on Saturday, May 6 with plenty of enthusiasm. Riders from various groups and businesses joined together to fundraise for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and enjoyed a fun, team-building event despite the rain. "Teams of up to 29 riders peddled through downtown Campbellford cheering at passersby and enjoying the bike ride,” said Katie Wilson, area
administrator, Durham - Heart and Stroke Foundation. Teams who braved the weather on Saturday were RBC Campbellford, Kinette Club of Campbellford, members from the Lioness’ club, and Giant Tiger. Collectively each participant helped to fundraise a grand total of $6,623. “The RBC Campbellford Royal Riders team contributed a total of $4,431, claiming top fundraising team for the day,” said Wilson. Bruce Brown, a well known resi-
dent from Warkworth and a member of the Royal Riders’ team, collected an outstanding $2,781, earning him top fundraiser for the day. This is an honour he has earned in the past as well. The Heart and Stroke Foundation wants to thank all volunteers who came out to ride on Saturday and a heartfelt thank you to the Trent Hills fire department for use of the hall in Campbellford and for their hospitality and generosity as our host site for the day.
Hastings— Blooms Day in Hastings is rapidly approaching. The garden beds around the Civic Centre will be awash in red and white tulips, thanks to a Canada 150 success story spearheaded by the Hastings Revitalization Association (HRA). Hastings was one of only four area communities selected to receive 1,000 tulip bulbs through a Canada 150 program sponsored by Vesey’s Bulbs, in partnership with Canada Post, the Canadian Nursery Landscaping Association and Parks Canada. HRA member Elke VanMeer tabled information about the program at a meeting last summer and led the application process, which successfully secured 1,000 tulip bulbs (500 red and 500 white) that were planted on Oct. 22 by an all-ages team of local volunteers — including members of the Warkworth Guides. Hastings was one of 63 Ontario communities selected and the only one in Northumberland County. Belleville, Tweed and Keene are the three closest communities to be chosen. The HRA is hosting a Hastings Bloom Celebration on May 13 at the Civic Centre to “welcome” the spring flowering of the bulbs that were planted in beds around the building. Guests are being encouraged to wear red and white, and to bring their cameras to snap family pictures with the blossoming plants. There will be a guest book to sign and light refreshments. The HRA would also like to get a group photo of the red and white clad guests with the flowers. “There will be lots of photo opportunities,” says VanMeer. The HRA has received a certificate from The Canadian Garden Council and Vesey’s Bulbs, honouring their participation in the sesquicentennial celebration. The festivities kick off at 11 a.m.

BY SUE DICKENS
Campbellford — A new agreement for select laboratory services has been agreed by the Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) and Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC). The announcement was made today, May 3, and the services include histology, pathology and cytology. The move forward happened after the Central East Local Health Integration Network (Central East LHIN) board passed a motion to not stop the voluntary integration of these laboratory services between the two organizations. The integration of these services will have no impact on current patient care or the delivery of labora-

cilitated integration process. The integration of select laboratory services with PRHC is the latest example of CMH’s focus on developing effective partnerships with hospitals, community organizations and primary care service providers. “The skilled, multidisciplinary laboratory team at PRHC performs 1.5 million lab tests each year, and has been providing select services to some of our partner hospitals in the region for a number of years,” commented Nancy Martin-Ronson, VP, chief nursing executive, chief information officer, PRHC. “With a $2 million upgrade to modernize and automate our lab in 2015, we have increased our capacity to perform more lab tests, more safely and efficiently. As a regional centre, we look forward to continuing to provide excellent care for patients through this partnership and integration of pathology services with CMH.” The change in delivery of histology, pathology and cytology services takes place effective May 15.
parks and recreation survey
BY BILL FREEMAN
Havelock — Township council is happy students at Havelock Belmont Public School (HBPS) weighed in on what they’d like to see in terms of future parks and recreation projects but they want to hear from older residents too. “This is a good example of what youth are looking for but I’d be interested in what some of the older people are looking for,” said Deputy-Mayor Jim Martin. The top suggestions from students at HBPS included a water park/splash pad, skateboard park, pool, basketball court and bowling alley. Coun. Hart Webb also wants to see what 18 and over residents are interested in and suggested the survey be posted to the municipal website and be made available at other locations. He wants “older people to get involved”. “It’s a parks and recreation project. It’s for the whole of the commu-

nity, not just for the youth,” Webb said. “I’d like to see a response from older members of the community in terms of what they want.” Webb doesn’t think they need to “narrow” the list down to a top five. “I’d like to leave it open. There are a lot of good ideas in our township and I’d like to hear them.” There’s no municipal commitment to a project at the moment but that doesn’t mean they can’t generate ideas about what’s possible, said Martin. “We don’t have the money but look at what’s happening in Norwood with two youth who want to redo a skate park. That’s what we need. We need people behind these things and we need grants. It’s another thing to put in the back of our minds if grants come forward if we have a priority list.” “The point is we can’t take this on right now and we shouldn’t,” added Mayor Ron Gerow. But Gerow said it’s important information to consider during strategic planning discussions. “I know we have to look at it (but) we’re being stretched pretty thin here now,” added Coun. Barry Pomeroy. “Most of these things require funding and somebody to spearhead it. “Let’s try to get some things off the plate before we put more back on.”

Celebrate Havelock ready for milestone 10th showcase BY BILL FREEMAN
Havelock — Celebrate Havelock is ready for its milestone 10th anniversary on May 13. The popular trade show and community showcase is also embracing Canada 150 as it welcomes a near-record 65 exhibitors to the community centre and outdoor park, with door prizes topping $10,000. The booths were sold out by the end of April, says Celebrate Havelock committee secretary Brian Grattan. “We actually had to add booths to our traditional floor plan to accommodate some of the exhibitors,” Grattan said. The outdoor tent will return with the addition of local craft brewers Belmont Lake
Brewery serving on site to those of age. The NDHS Guitar Band, the Next Generation Seaboyer Band, Daniel and Luke Benjamin and Ryan Anderson will perform throughout the day in the tent. The Tim Hortons Coffee Truck is back by popular demand. Grattan says there are no dramatic changes to the event this year with organizers riding the wave that’s taken the show to such great heights. “Why fix something that isn’t broken,” Grattan said. “It seems to gain a little more momentum each year and that’s great to see.” The Havelock Lions have Razberry the Clown doing face-painting and balloons while
Havelock Guardian Pharmacy is sponsoring a bouncy castle. The township’s historical society is organizing a large Canada 150-themed display in the arena lobby honouring local and national history. The committee has put Canada 150 logos on their giveaway bags to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Confederation. Grattan lauds Celebrate Havelock founders Cliff Clark and Wendy Love Clark of the Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Chamber of Commerce. The couple and the chamber spearheaded the sparkling event. “(Celebrate Havelock) has seen continual growth each year and a lot of this can be credited to the strong volunteer committee and
volunteers who assist (as well) as the sponsors, exhibitors and the community.” The committee will spend over $4,000 promoting Celebrate Havelock on multiple media platforms, says Grattan. Well over 1,000 people attended in 2016 and they expect those numbers to rise. Other communities have noticed and are organizing similar events, says Grattan. “I think it’s the ultimate compliment and we’re glad people realize the value of hosting these types of events. Businesses and community organizations are often the backbone of any small rural community and they deserve the opportunity to be showcased.”

Centre Hastings residential Madoc Township’s 2017 residential tax rate set at 2.78 per cent owners’ tax rate increase is 3.64 per cent for 2017 BY SUE DICKENS
Madoc — Residential taxpayers in the Municipality of Centre Hastings will be paying “approximately” 3.64 per cent more in 2017. The municipal council approved the budget at their regular council meeting and explained that although the tax rate increase is less than 1 per cent, residential owners will pay approximately 3.64 per cent more in 2017, or $92.56 on the average residential assessment increase. The farmers and woodlot owners increase is about $97. The average residential assessment for 2017 is $193,895, which is up from $188,688 in 2016. The total residential tax rate is 0.1351073. This is an increase of 0.88 per cent from the 2016 rate of 0.01339304. “It’s an excellent budget,” said Mayor Tom Deline, adding: “Personally, I’d like to thank staff and council, it’s been a long haul.” Council and department heads held a multitude of meetings prior to the presentation of the final budget for approval. Mayor Deline noted that the municipality’s final figures are “staying within reasonable amounts compared to all our neighbours within the County of Hastings.” He explained: “We’re at three out of six in urban centres for where our rate is and eight out of 14 including all the urban and rural.” The municipal levy breakdown for the average residential property is as follows: Municipality of Centre Hastings, $1,717.25; County of Hastings, $555.34; provincial education rates, $347.07. Taxes on $193,895 of assessment therefore amount to a total of $2,619.66 for the year. The breakdown in percentages using these numbers shows the municipality’s portion is 66 per cent,
the county’s portion is 21 per cent, and education rates account for 13 per cent. A breakdown of costs in terms of percentage in the overall budget indicates the following: transportation is the largest at 29.05 per cent; protection to people and property is 25.63 per cent; recreation and properties account for 12.11 per cent; general government is at 11.89 per cent; capital costs make up 12.58 per cent; health services 0.16 per cent; and planning and zoning 1.27 per cent. A list of the capital projects include a library roof, medical centre suite, accessibility project at the park, new water source, arena improvements and work on several roads. The total to be raised from taxation is 3,860,747.

Streetscape concept for Campbellford downtown to be unveiled May 16 BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford — What the future could hold for downtown Campbellford will be unveiled at a two-hour community design workshop that will take place next week at the Masonic Hall. Stempski Kelly Associates Inc., the design firm hired to develop new streetscape and facade guidelines for the Connecting Campbellford Downtown Revitalization project, will present its concept to the public May 16, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The workshop will present “ideas (about) what the facades of the buildings could look like” as part of a new streetscape, downtown revitalization co-
ordinator Leisha Newton said. The concept drawings will reflect what came out of a focus group held recently with community members who were asked what their “visual preference” was for various elements that make up a downtown. The eventual outcome will be a revamped style guide for Trent Hills' Downtown Community Improvement Program which provides rebates and grants to property owners to beautify the downtown, revitalize commerce, promote tourism, expand residential choices, preserve heritage and enhance accessibility. The guide is intended to serve as “a
template moving forward for any street changes that are taking place,” Newton said, emphasizing they are recommendations only, “certainly not something we can hold people to.” The purpose is not to have all buildings appear the same “but to have a complementary look,” she said. “We want them to have their distinct identities but ... still fit within a look and feel for the downtown.” The final document will be presented to the downtown revitalization task force in June and included in the action plan that will take shape during strategic planning in July. The plan will be presented to the public and council in September, Newton said. She's currently

surveying 40 to 50 downtown business owners for their views on trends, strengths, challenges and ideas that will help move the project forward. Newton also mailed out 4,725 postcards to residents asking them to take part in a survey as well, so she can find out what their shopping habits are, and what new businesses or services they would like to see in the downtown, as well as events and activities. The survey can be found online (connectingcampbellford.ca) or picked up at the municipal office and the three libraries. Newton said “it's a one-year planning process” for the action plan but it will take “upwards of nine to 12 years” to implement its recommendations and to measure its effectiveness, such as the amount of economic activity it generates
and the number of vacant storefronts it reduces. Newton got some direct feedback from the public recently when she made a presentation to the Probus Club of Trent Hills. One of the concerns raised was that some “buildings look terrible” which are a deterrent to shoppers. Asked what the task force can do “to make a difference,” Newton replied that as an advisory committee, it “can only submit an action plan that would then have to be accepted by the community.” One approach to bringing about change is to reach out to building owners and “show them what the benefits would be to fixing up” their properties, she said. “It's trying to build a relationship ... not going in and attack them, but try to work with them.”
Community Care looks for Hastings road toll volunteers BY BILL FREEMAN
Hastings — Community Care Northumberland is looking for volunteers to help with their annual “road toll” fundraiser in Hastings June 16-17. This will be the Community Care’s third summer running a road toll in the village after taking over the challenge from the Hastings Lions Club who passed along the torch while winding up its life as a club in Hastings. One of the Hastings Lions’ last gestures as a local service organization after 41 years in the village
was to donate $1,000 to Community Care for its programs in town. Among the Community Care programs offered to Hastings residents are community diners, friendly visiting, home at last, home help and maintenance programs, hospice palliative care program, meals on wheels, transportation programs including accessible programs, support for caregivers, telephone security checks and wellness programs. If you want to help Community Care with its road toll call Linda Ryan at 705-653-1411.

Surely you have eaten any or all of the above-mentioned meats, somewhat hypocritical I would say as per the whole “feelings and relationships animals have” as you mentioned. You views may be a little uninformed as to what really happens in rural Ontario or even Canada for all that matters, reality does still live and thrive out here. We are proud to say we are hunters. We will not be shamed, mocked, or discouraged by the ignorance of egotistical people aiming to conform us to their ideals, most who quite clearly live in a bubble, not exactly sure where their meat really comes from. Personally as an avid hunter and fisherman I won’t ridicule you for the prejudice you so clearly hold against us, rather I’ll invite you to my home to enjoy your choice of bear, moose, deer or fish, cooked any way you like it, or as I may have guessed you only eat salads. Our hunting heritage will live on as it has previously for generations. Curtis Reid, Madoc

If you eat meat, some form of death must take place. Guidelines and laws exist in the livestock and poultry business to ensure sustainable and humane practices are followed. Hunters have rules as well involving fair chase and ethical harvesting of game. There is no difference. Ethical hunters respect wildlife immensely and are willing to assist in whatever way they can to ensure populations remain vibrant and healthy. After harvest, the truly organic source of protein nurtures their bodies, in some First Nation’s it is referred to as the circle of life. In closing, I urge anyone wanting a more balanced source of information on why some folks hunt, to engage a hunter in a calm conversation. Any hunter I know will be happy to answer your questions.

Dear Editor, I feel compelled to respond to the April 27, 2017 tirade on hunters written by a Nancy MacDonald, of Warkworth. Her broad brush approach to paint all hunters as “vile and loathsome” who “revel in the torture and murder of innocent animals and revelling in the blood lust” is, to use her words, disturbing. There is clearly no point in trying to explain to Ms. MacDonald any of the history of why some men and women continue the age-old tradition of hunting. She clearly does not want to approach the subject with an open mind. My concern is that her extremely biased attack might influence even one person who does not hunt (perhaps fishermen and women are evil as well). All that ethical, licensed and trained hunters ask is that the non-hunting majority have an open mind and be respectful to a way of life different than their own.

There are over 100,000 members of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, and 741 fish and game clubs in Ontario, all members are hunters, fishermen, and trappers. Nancy, you must never have eaten beef, pork or poultry, you must never wear leather shoes or boots because of the pain inflicted on the animals, perhaps you should visit a slaughter house. My daughters and eight year old grandson deer hunt with me, I say start them young in the great outdoors. The Ministry of Natural Resources routinely relies on hunting to control wildlife populations. I suggest you go to an insurance company, see how
many dollars are paid out in deer-vehicle collisions, injuries and even death. If the younger generation were outdoors and not inside all the time playing video games, texting, or on their cell phones, they would be better off. Justin and Derek Chapman clearly have great family dynamics, grounded on long days of being outdoors together. Congratulations on the bucks.

Seymour family fishing day comes three weeks earlier this year BY SUE DICKENS
Campbellford – The annual Seymour family fishing day will see local police helping kids cast a line for some rainbow trout in the quarry at Seymour Conservation Area on Saturday, May 13. This event is being held three weeks earlier than in previous years according to a press release issued by Marilyn Bucholtz, communication and outreach co-ordinator for Lower Trent Conservation, host of the event. Promoting this fun day for kids for many years now, Bucholtz explained that: “The Ontario Police Association gets involved with this to bridge that gap between the officers and youth, and bring them together in a fun and enjoyable environment.” “The purpose of the program is to provide opportunities for young peo-
ple to get out and fish,” she added. This event will be held from 8 a.m. until noon rain or shine at Seymour Conservation Area and is free for children. Families can try their luck at the quarry, which has been stocked with hundreds of rainbow trout. The day will include giveaways for the kids, as well as “great” draw prizes. The draws will take place at 11 a.m. Participants are asked to bring their own fishing gear and applicable fishing license. A supply of worms will be available. This is a catch and keep event. According to Bob Izumi, chair of Fishing Forever, there is nothing that puts a smile on a kid’s face faster than catching a fish. “That’s why I love to create opportunities for children and families to go fishing,” states Izumi. “Fishing is one
of the very best ways for parents and other adults to establish productive and healthy relationships with children.” Sponsors include: the Canadian National Sportfishing Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting and protecting recreational fishing; Fishing Forever; the Police Association of Ontario; Canadian Tire; Northumberland OPP; Linwood Fish Hatchery; and Bill’s Johns Portable Toilet Rentals, Trenton. For more information contact Marilyn Bucholtz at Lower Trent Conservation, on 613 394-4829 ext. 216 or email Marilyn.bucholtz@ltc. on.ca.

Havelock-Belmont Methuen braces for Crown land campers, wants action BY BILL FREEMAN
Havelock – Havelock-BelmontMethuen is bracing for another season of Crown land campers in the Kosh Lake area and wants action from authorities to curb a situation which is one bad fire away from tragedy. “It’s an ongoing issue,” Mayor Ron Gerow said during a regular council
meeting. He briefly touched on the subject and promised further discussion of an issue that’s only gotten worse over the last six years. The municipality has already received one complaint about a “live-in camper” back at Kosh Lake, he said. A Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry conservation officer has gone to the area and “tagged” the site
with a notice saying the camper must leave within 21 days. Problems with campers setting up sites in the area have persisted over the years, despite meetings with the MNR, OPP, municipal officials, Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal and permanent residents. “There are residents in the area back there concerned about what the
future holds when it comes to camping. We need to talk about it,” Gerow said. Gerow says council has to talk about “where we’re going with this whole thing.” “We’re putting resources back there on a continuous basis.” The fire department visits on a “very regular basis” during the summer and police have been called there,
which is a cost borne by the municipality, said Gerow. “I don’t want to be in the business of running a campground, but if we’re going to be there, maybe we need to take a look at it. Maybe we need to formalize it, charge fees, send the MNR a bill. I’m not sure, but we need to have a discussion about that.”
Otonabee Conservation campgrounds open May 13 Warsaw – Otonabee Conservation will “swing open the gates” at the Beavermead Campground and Warsaw Caves Conservation Area on May 12. The two campgrounds offer a family-friendly camping experience in very different settings. The Warsaw Caves campground is nestled in the Indian River valley and Beavermead Campground is situated in the heart of the city of Peterborough. Campers and visitors can enjoy recreational activities such like hiking, swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and spelunking (at the Warsaw Caves) while visiting the campgrounds and surrounding area. In 2017, there will be an ever-increasing number of nature events that are part of the
popular Discovery Days program which are included with admission or a seasonal pass. The special events include wildlife species demonstrations — birds of prey, snakes and turtles — fishing workshops, paddling tours and yoga in the park. Otonabee Conservation owns and operates the Warsaw Caves Conservation Area and Campground which first opened its gates to the public in 1964. Beavermead Campground is owned by the City of Peterborough and has been operated by the conservation authority since 2013. To learn more about the campground amenities and recreational activities available as well as the Discovery Days schedule, visit www.otonabee.com.

Candlemaker lucky to attend tulip fest BY LYNN MARRIOTT
Tweed – Lucky Clover Candles of Tweed received an invitation to display their handmade beeswax candles at this year’s Canadian Tulip Festival. They are one of only 18 vendors to be invited. The Ottawa Tulip Festival lasts ten days, from May 12 to 21, and will have 1,000,000 tulips on display at Lansdowne Park. The “maker’s marketplace” will showcase Canadian artisans and their handmade wears. It is part of the Canada 150 celebrations. The surprise invitation to attend this show delighted own-
ers Ali and Randy Wilson. It was a surprise after attending only two previous Signature Craft shows. Signature operates craft shows coast to coast and usually features 180 vendors. Lucky Clover Candles, located on Tweedsmuir Lane, is a growing home business that opened its doors five years ago. It is the creator of the all-new Beeswax Coffee Candles. All Lucky Clover candles are made from unrefined beeswax from an apiary in the Ottawa Valley. First, they clean the wax, then render it and mould it into several shapes of handmake candles. In five years, they have produced 100,000

PUBLIC NOTICE Intention to Pass a By-law to remove a Holding Symbol PVLCP 73 Level 1 Unit 19 White Tail Drive TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Municipal Corporation of the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen proposes to enact a By-Law under Section 36 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 as amended, to remove the Holding (H) Zone symbol from lands described as PVLCP 73, Level 1, Unit 19 (White Tail Drive) in the geographic Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen, Methuen Ward (Jack Lake) as shown on the Key Map. The lands are currently zoned Seasonal Residential Exception SRE / Environmental protection EP with a Holding “H” Symbol (SRE / EP-H). The Holding (H) Zone symbol was placed on the property as per By-law No. 2006-61 dated August 22, 2006 in order to recognize the proposed vacant land condominium development and to provide special regulations for controlling development while ensuring protection of environmentally sensitive features. The removal of the Holding (H) Zone symbol will permit the construction of a single-family dwelling and uses stipulated in By-law No. 1995-42, as amended, of the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen. The necessary requirements pertaining to the Holding “H” Symbol have now been fulfilled and the Township is therefore in a position to remove the Holding “H” Symbol.

Historic badminton club team tournament held in Madoc BY SUE DICKENS
Madoc — The first ever badminton club team tournament in the history of Madoc was played on Saturday, May 6 and it was hosted by the Centre Hastings Badminton Club. Seems appropriate as the club is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The tournament was also a fundraiser for the Helping Hands Food Banks of the Central Hastings Support Network. There are three in the area. Every player paid a $25 fee plus donated cash or a non-perishable food item. Contributions of more than $300 in value were raised. Event chair Henry Toews said the daylong sports event began with volunteers “who went right to town at 6:50 a.m. getting ready for the teams to arrive." “Badminton is a very social sport. It’s like being in the room with 30 best friends," commented Toews, who could not say enough about the players and support of volunteers and business sponsors who made this first effort such a success. He describes himself as an extremely avid, passionate badminton player who plays as often as possible. “When I retired I thought why not play badminton. It’s a cool sport and I hadn’t played 35 to 40 years ... Yes, I still love it.” The day of the tournament “went off without a glitch,” he noted. “Sometimes it gets a little over

of players took first place and they included: Elaine Seymour, Sherry Smith, Mark Zomer, and Dave Lawrie.
Zomer is the club’s treasurer. “Mark did all the draws, setting up the players’ teams, who plays against whom and what court they were on ... it can be a very complicated affair,” commented Toews. There were six teams of two men and two women each who played 20 to 24 games; each game played to 21. Team rankings are: First — Elaine Seymour, Sherry Smith, Mark Zomer, and Dave Lawrie from Belleville/Marmora; second — Sheila Ritter, Dave Rose, Kay Snedden, and Real Laflamme from Belleville; third — Diana Barrett, Sherry Turk, Jeff Wicks, and Dan Thompson from Cobourg; fourth — Karen Wiginton, Marianne Dyer, Dave Loucks, and Keith Pennington from Cobourg; fifth — Barry Stables, Henry Toews, Judy DeBoer-Minton, and Jacki Hollet from Belleville/Springbrook; sixth — James Munro, Cynthia Inch, Bertha Wu, and Andy Donald, from Cobourg/Belleville. Toews said he could not forget to mention the three main sponsors that made the event possible, and they are the Lions Clubs from Madoc and Stirling and the owners of Pro One Stop, Min and Julie Yoo, in Stirling. The club is already planning its next tournament to be held in March 2018. For club information go to http://madocbadminton. blogspot.ca/.

Agreement will be struck for Havelock scoreboard BY BILL FREEMAN
Havelock— HavelockBelmont-Methuen will prepare a scoreboard agreement for two local ball groups to sign. The Havelock Mixed Three Pitch League and Havelock Express Minor Softball will each raise $3,300 to cover their share of the cost of an electronic scoreboard to be installed at the ballpark. The Mixed League will raise its share over three years, with a first payment of $600 this October. The Havelock Express, blossoming with the return of youth ball, will fulfil its obligation over four years — although league president Cheryl Levesque is confident the organization can raise $3,300 in less time. The Mixed League aims to sell sponsorships for advertisements that will be placed around the scoreboard and not on the park fence, while
the minor softball organization has a number of things planned to raise their portion — including raffles, a four-on-four hockey tournament and a six-week fall ball hockey program. A draft of the agreement will be sent to the two groups and they will be invited to council’s May 15 meeting to officially sign the agreement. The total cost of the digital scoreboard has been pegged at $13,175. The council made it clear that the scoreboard remains the property of the municipality, which will determine how it is used. Mayor Ron Gerow says council needs to have a discussion about the nature of the advertising that will be placed around the scoreboard. Council aired concerns about advertisements placed around the ballpark
fencing. “We don’t want to junk things up down there. We don’t want it to look like Deliverance,” said Mayor Gerow. “They can sell ads and we look after the (size and style) of the signs,” Deputy Mayor Jim Martin suggested. “It would be nice to do it all at once and have them in,” said Martin. “I do think it’s a good thing to have them come here and execute the agreement, so they understand what we’re doing here,” Gerow said. Economic development officer Brian Grattan said the two organizations understand that the sign will be “an asset of the township.” The delivery time for a scoreboard is six weeks, says chief administrative officer Pat Kemp.

Stirling - Nothing says spring like the birth of a baby animal — even if that baby is a 100-pound water buffalo, named Jolene. Jolene was born last month at the Ontario Water Buffalo Company, about two hours east of Toronto. Owners Martin Littkemann and Lori Smith are expecting about 100 such calves this spring. Females like Jolene are particularly coveted for their milk. In four years, when she’s a full-grown 1.5-metretall, 910-kilogram adult, she’ll be producing up to 10 litres of milk per day. And that’s music to Littkemann and Smith’s ears. Buffalo milk is a lucrative, soughtafter, versatile product. It’s protein rich, high in fat and low in cholesterol. This spring, Littkemann and Smith are working with commercial dairies in Toronto and elsewhere to produce new water buffalo products, including gelato and a blue cheese called Azzurro di Bufala. Restaurateurs are catching on. Clark Day, newly minted fellow of the Ontario Hostelry Institute and owner of Bayview Farm Restaurant in Kingston, Ont., says Littkemann and Smith make some of the Lori Smith gives some love to newborn calf, Jolene. In four years, when she’s fully grown, she’ll be producbest cheese in the province. ing up to 10 litres of milk per day. continued on page 2

WHAT’S NEXT FOR FARMERS?
Researchers at the University of Guelph and McGill University are helping the Ontario Water Buffalo Company improve the genetics of their herd. That involves modern reproductive technology, such as embryo transfer, in-vitro fertilization and artificial insemination. By the fall, the farm hopes to be exporting breeding animals. HELPING TO FEED A HUNGRY WORLD
It’s estimated that by 2050, the world will be consuming two-thirds more protein than it does today. Some experts believe indigenous animal species such as water buffalo could help. “Buffalo production makes an important contribution to economic development, rural livelihood, poverty alleviation, and meets the fastgrowing demand for animal protein,” write B.M. Naveena and M. Kiran in the journal Animal Frontiers. MORE ABOUT BUFFALO

Correction and Apology Farm’s water buffalo are the big cheese In an article published May 4, “Bird banger case ends in saw-off for farmer, neighbours,� Belleville News reported incorrect information respecting the Normal Farm Practices Protection Board hearing. Contrary to what was reported, there was no allegation in the course of the hearing that Robert Smith, the Thurlow man who was defending the application, has a conviction for sexual assault. Nor, in fact, has Robert Smith ever been convicted of sexual assault. Belleville News unreservedly apologizes for the error. As well, there was an error respecting the reported ownership of a Thurlow-based produce vendor named in the article. The Robert Smith defending the application is not the same Rob Smith who is co-owner of Nansan Farms. Robert Smith, the Respondent on the Application, is not an owner or operator of Nansan Farms. Belleville News regrets the errors and apologizes to those affected by those errors.

sive 350 animals, is one of the largest and most well-established of the dozen water buffalo farms in Canada. Yet despite its size, Littkemann, Smith and their herdspeople know each animal by name. Jolene, for example, is joining the likes of Zorra, Jamaica and Sunnie, other names found in the herd. The water buffalo have oodles of room to roam and graze here — 182 hectares, in fact. They can swim in an eight-foot-deep pond. They can wallow in whatever mud they can find. Or they can chill. Despite their size, water buffalo are gentle, docile animals, content to do very little. Yvette, the farm mascot, even lets people sit on her back for photos, each year during the Water Buffalo Food Festival in nearby Stirling. And even though they are easily milked — like they are twice a day at the Ontario Water Buffalo Company, at 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. — they’ve never really caught on in Canada. Here, more productive breeds of dairy cows, especially Holsteins, are favoured,

which give about three times as much milk per day. But that’s fine with farmers Littkemann and Smith, who have experience with conventional dairy and beef cattle. When they decided to commit to water buffalo, they weren’t looking for the norm. “We tend to take the road less travelled,� Littkemann
says. “We like doing something different, and in Canada, it’s hard to find something more different to farm than water buffalo�

Province boosting funding for local hospitals by more than $4 million Northumberland-Quinte West – Hospitals in Cobourg, Campbellford and Trenton will receive an extra $4.1 million to reduce wait times and expand services as a result of the provincial budget recently unveiled by the Liberal government. Ontario is investing an additional $3,005,495 in Quinte West Health Care, $839,394 in Northumberland Hills Hospital and $279,300 in Campbellford Memorial Hospital, “to provide faster access to health care, expand crucial services and procedures, and improve the experience of patients,” says a news release issued by MPP Lou Rinaldi’s office Friday morning. “I meet regularly with the CEO’s of our three hospitals and have been listening to their concerns,” Rinaldi said in a statement. “This investment will help to ensure we are reducing wait times and delivering these essential services, when and where they’re needed, right here close to home.”
Northumberland County Warden Mark Walas said he was “very pleased” the provincial government is boosting its investment in the Cobourg and Campbellford hospitals. “This will help to reinforce the stability of healthcare delivery locally, supporting increased service levels and improved patient outcomes,” he stated. “This is wonderful news for Northumberland County.” Linda Davis, president and CEO of Northumberland Hills Hospital, said the extra funding “will bring much-needed relief to the pressures (her hospital is) facing from increased patient needs and inflationary costs.” “We look forward to continued collaboration with our LHIN (Local Health Integrated Network) and our Ministry (of Health and LongTerm Care) to fully resolve the challenges of medium-sized community hospitals such as NHH to sustain our services in the years ahead,” she said.
“Campbellford Memorial Hospital is grateful for this funding as we continue to build upon our existing strengths and focus on being a recognized leader in rural health care, creating a healthy community through service excellence, effective partnerships, and the development of innovative hospital services,” president and CEO Brad Hilker said. “Our intent is to continue to offer services and procedures, providing access to care closer to home to a growing population of older adults with increasingly complex health care needs.” Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said the “fantastic investment” by the province of Ontario to fund improvements in local health care “are much appreciated by all residents of Quinte West.” Doug McGregor, chair of Quinte Health Care board of directors, said the additional funding for the hospital’s current operating plan “will help stabilize ... and improve servic-
es,” and with the assistance of community partners, ensure they “will be there when patients need them.” He also expressed hope that, with the 3.1 per cent increase in hospital funding proposed in the 2017 budget, hospitals across Ontario are moving toward “a more stable environment.” The government says the extra money it plans to spend will: – provide more access to cardiac services, critical care, organ/tissue donations and transplants, rare disease care, and bariatric services, as well as support for new and redeveloped hospitals – improve access and reduce wait times for chemotherapy, stroke treatments, hip and knee replacements, and magnetic resonance imaging – support service delivery by hospitals in high-growth communities, as well as small, medium, northern and rural hospitals, and mental health and stand-alone pediatric hospitals.
Fact box – Each of Ontario’s 141 public hospitals will receive a minimum 2 per cent increase to its base funding in 2017–18. – Hospital operating funding in Ontario has increased more than 58 per cent, from $11.3 billion in 2003-04 to $18 billion in 2017-18. – Ontario’s health care budget will total $53.8 billion in 2017-18 – a 3.8 per cent increase from the previous year. – Ontario also plans to invest an additional $9 billion over 10 years in capital grants to hospitals to build modern infrastructure. About 34 hospital projects are now underway across the province.
The Good Earth
Spring version of Odds and Sods 4 as to which year other than to say that the 1970’s still had a lot of shiny left on them. Some Gentle Readers might recall the fundamental changes that were occurring in agriculture at that time: we were watching the transition from family farm to family agribusiness, the introduction of marketing boards, the change from conventional to “modern” farming methods employing continuous cropping, an increased usage of fertilizers and pesticides, increased mechanization, much larger equipment and the “CAT” colleges were in their “hay”day. Dr. Ketcheson was teaching forages and strongly promoting the concept of no-till culture. He was well ahead of his time in his attempts to conserve the soil, protecting it from some of the negative sides of modern agriculture. His lectures made a sigO&S#1 Jack Ketcheson nificant impact on how I approached I was a farm lad trying to negotiate agriculture and horticulture.

ton area and starting up this column, I learned that Jack and Betty were just a few miles north growing asparagus. Naturally, I went out for a visit and an interview. It was very nice to have the opportunity ,at that time, to thank him for the positive influence he had on agriculture and myself personally. GR, he was one of those unassuming, passionate persons who was very active in making his profession- and our lives- much better. I am honoured and grateful to have met him. O&S#2 Mother’s Day Flowers Mother’s Day is often celebrated with floral bouquets, some are formal commercial creations and others may a posy of dandelions or whatever else might be in bloom close to the hand of a youngster. Whichever is presented, you know Mom will be very gracious and pleased to receive them. We can go through several columns of the significance of each particular type of flower
but there isn’t really a need here. Briefly (from the FTD web page) red carnations show admiration, pink signifies love and white is in respect to mothers no longer living. White roses speak of purity and reverence, yellow is devotion and sequential shades of light to dark pink show joy, gratitude and grace. In fact, GR, a flower means whatever you want it to mean and a gift of a flower always means love. The wearing of a flower on ones lapel is a tradition that Bill Bonnetta feels should be restored and it was his suggestion to mention this in the column. I agree with him. O&S#3 Not Red Tulips I was very much looking forward to viewing my small patch of Canada 150 tulips this spring. I planted them in the middle of our centre flowerbed on the front lawn. When the leaves emerged, the proper white margin was very clear; however, the flowers are opening green and white- not a hint of red. At the
nursery we had heard that some folks had orange coloured flowers and our first thought was that they had made a mistake. My second thought, having seen my wee patch, was that I had made a mistake. My third thought, having gone on-line to see what else might be happening was that there was a labelling error somewhere along the line and that some of the bulbs are not as advertised. There is no reason to believe this is much more than a blip and that most of the bulbs will be as advertised. As it turns out, I can do a bit of spin doctoring and call them my Irish-Canadian tribute as there will be lots of red and white throughout the other beds this year. Closing notes: Moms are special people who always find “enough”; enough patience, enough understanding and enough love. To all moms, and especially mine, a Happy Mother’s Day to you.

Wardens take broadband, infrastructure message to The Hill
Jim Pine. File photo
BY JACK EVANS
“A huge effort, but it was worth it,” is how Hastings County CAO Jim Pine summed up a day of meetings between the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus and regional MPs plus parliamentary secretaries of key cabinet ministers. The caucus went with well-prepared positions on two key issues, said Pine. First is a project estimated at almost $300 million to complete broadband service in Eastern Ontario to rural and remote communities and also including a secure cell phone network for first responders like fire, ambulance and police for safety considerations. Pine said wardens or represen-
tatives from all 13 counties in the caucus attended a breakfast meeting Monday with MPs from their respective ridings, some 17 in all and members representing all parties involved. Their arguments about the need for the cell service for safety purposes plus road and bridge infrastructure funds were “well received,” said Pine. The caucus pointed out that almost three-quarters of all roads in Eastern Ontario, from Durham to the Quebec border are owned by municipalities, including cities like Ottawa and small rural ones in many cases, plus 60 per cent of all bridges. They cited in-depth studies by consultants showing that municipalities in the region should be spend-
ing at least $500 million to $600 million every year just to adequately maintain all roads and bridges is already far more than they can afford. But there is one snag. Both issues must also be approved by the provincial government, so Pine said they hope to arrange a meeting in Queen’s Park later this month and perhaps they could get approval, at least on the broadband and cell phone network by the end of the year. The infrastructure funding may be a bit more difficult as it will take
some months for the federal government to make an agreement with Ontario and other provinces on how the funds will be spent. Mike Bossio, MP for HastingsLennox and Addington, commented that he was pleased and excited at the wardens caucus presentations. “This is the way our democracy should work,” he said,”with areas getting together to lobby for projects that will benefit all the residents across a large area.” He said the presentations were “impressive,” but reminded of the government’s obli-
gation to make necessary arrangements with the provinces first. He also hinted there might be some differences of opinion on the definition of “small rural municipalities” as spelled out in the infrastructure announcement in the last federal budget. “ Our federal definition is about 100,000 population for a small community but Ontario’s may be around 30,000 and other provinces like Saskatchewan might be less than 10,000,” he explained, expecting it will take “several months” to reach provincial accords.

Salamander man visits Quinte Conservation with a simple message BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Save the salamander. That was the message Matt Ellerbeck brought to Quinte Conservation on Friday, May 5 for an afternoon presentations for outdoor enthusiasts. Ellerbeck, who’s known across Ontario as “the salamander man” is an independent conservationist, licensed with the Ministry of Natural Resources. He visits conservation authorities frequently to talk about the plight of the salamander, a small, hard-to-find, but fascinating reptile with a long slithering body and four legs. Ellerbeck says half of world’s salamander species – several of which can be found in Ontario – are considered at risk and “despite that, they receive very little attention.” Yet, salamanders should be considered friends to humans, he said. They eat insects so they represent a natural form of pest control. And reducing the number or bugs can reduce the spread of some serious diseases, such as West Nile. He says climate change poses the biggest threat to salamanders’ survival. For more information on Ellerbeck and

Quinte Symphony surprises Picton audience BY JACK EVANS
Picton– Except for a few seats it was a capacity crowd at Picton’s historic Regent Theatre Sunday for Quinte Symphony’s closing regular concert of the current season. Helping to fill the hall was the colourful and talented internationally acclaimed ensemble, Sultans of String, whose four members were supported throughout by Conductor Dan Tremblay and the 42-piece orchestra. One major surprise was a second-half number when symphony member Saskia Tomkins was invited to join the Sultans in one number with her unusual Norwegian ‘nyckelharpa.’ Sultans leader Chris McKhool, quipped that the instrument might be described as “the millipede of stringed instruments.” The audience thoroughly enjoyed seeing and hearing this instrument for the first time for almost all of them. Another surprise, a particularly pleasant one for two young members of the orchestra, was presentation of Stephen Choma awards from a fund named in honour of the orchestra’s founder and designed to encourage youthful members who have shown outstanding skills and faithful support. They went to Jeanette Huang, who joined the symphony at the tender age of nine, and Sophia King, who, after five years with the orchestra is off to university to study engineering.
Celebrating 68 Years!
Recipients of bursaries for faithful service were presented to Sophia King, left, and Jeanette Huang, both second violin players in the orchestra. Jack Evans/Metroland
But, the main surprise for many was seeing and hearing Quinte Symphony for the first time, impressing the crowd from both Belleville and Prince Edward County, with many commenting on the quality and richness of their sound. The four Sultans, led by McKhool on his five-string violin, guitarist Kevin Laliberte Drew Birston on electric bass and percussionist Eric Breton, stretched across the stage in front of the orchestra and kicked off with a wild, midEastern sounding “Alhambra,” followed by an East Coastflavoured “Rainflower Kitchen Party, which featured plenty of hand-clapping by the audience, as did several other numbers from this lively ensemble. McKhool reflected on his fam-
ily roots in Lebanon in his piece “Road to Kfarmishki.” Canadian inspiration was involved in most of their numbers, including a salute to Sable Island and the far north, “Auyuittuq Sunrise.” For the second half, the orchestra did its own thing in a performance of “Changes,” by the late Kingston-based composer and former conductor, Clifford Crawley. Then the Sultans returned. The audience response at the end generated an encore with an audience sing-along. The symphony will get off to an early start next season with a concert on Sunday, Oct. 1, called “Orchestral Favourites and a Christmas concert Dec. 10: “Christmas Traditions Old and New.”

Wyley Canuck weighs in on ‘hydraucity’ Dear Editor, Hydraucity n. : An insolent, brazen or foolhardy usage of an electric company. What do you get when you elect academics, (Masters in Linguistics, Masters in Adult Education and trained in Meditation)? You get Happy Public Servants, dwindling Ontario-owned assets and, if you look closely at your Hydro statement, it has a hologram of Alfred E. Neuman - “What Me Worry?” Speaking of the venerable Alfred E., you know how accountants are kind of weirdly attracted to figures? (No Elmer - not THOSE figures number figures!) Well I have to confess in 2010 I succumbed to the lure of solar panels being offered to generate a return at the then princely rate of 80.2 cents per kWhr. I know, I know, it was stupid and irrational. The description which is presently applied to the Liberals of the last dozen years being: naive, myopic, arrogant and possessing poor judgement could equally be applied to the early applicants to get involved in the pursuit of renewable energy alternatives. (This comment does NOT apply to the later massive solar/wind farm bandits. These lads knew what they were doing and
it was shameful). Lets say the government picked me and maybe five other Alfred E. wannabes to be a test case at a completely ludicrous rate, further incentivized with a 20 year guaranteed contract. Lets also say that early on the accountant portion of my number-oriented brain noticed that only on the very best sun days did the panels produce sufficient kW hourse even for my own (electric furnace) house! And lets further say that most of Canada is not Arizona or Southern California. There are many, many days of snow and ice and rain and cloud and the commensurate dwindle of hydro energy to figures that would fail to power the pump and lights of a drive-by outhouse, even intermittently. And let’s say Elon Musk in 2010 is at least 10 years away from inventing and manufacturing a workable storage battery, (a “hydro sink”) in which to store power on the rare occasions when the sun is high and the drive-by lavatory is barely being used. For example, January to April of 2017 exhibited the worst weather everrr over the seven year test - representing only 60% of the original Trenton area forecast. The lavatory proverbially hit the fan for
four months. So let’s say that persons in charge of Ontario Power Generation have duly noted the aforementioned problems experienced by the sixmember experimental team. They see that Elon Musk is devoting more time to getting a spacecraft to the moon than he is in perfecting that horribly necessary “Hydro sink” battery device. They are also growing tired of selling excess electricity to outsiders below cost and realize that the hastily-titled “six boy experiment” is a failure. So the academics at Queens’ Park pulled the plug on further renewable energy production, (bye bye Hydraucity), and we all lived happily ever after with 6.5 cents per kWhr electricity and no delivery charges. Oh and those 33 Hydro employees in the “A” to “K” section of the Sunshine list of OPG making more than $200,000, especially you 10 shift managers at $300K plus, and you Mr. Jeffery Lyash at $1.2 million, that’s serious senior executive coin for you lads and ladies, how can you find the time to spend it?

Scholarship winner pays it forward TRADE IN’S
Rebecca DeMarsh won a $500 scholarship from the Commodores Orchestra two years ago for outstanding contributions to her community and her school music program. She used the money to fix up her saxophone so she could continue to play it after her graduation. Since then, in addition to her life as a student at Loyalist College, Rebecca has volunteered for the Core Arts and Culture Centre in downtown Belleville, where she helps organize community-based music concerts. This year, Rebecca decided she would donate proceeds from one of her concerts to the Commodores Orchestra’s Bruce Parsons Scholarship Concert, which provided her with her $500 two years earlier. “It’s an incredible gesture,” says Commodores leader Andy Sparling. “Rebecca’s actions demonstrate pure class and what community service is all about. What a perfect ending. Thanks to her, this is probably the Commodores’ proudest moment since we launched the Parsons concert.” Rebecca will be on hand at this year’s show on May 28th to make the contribution official. This year’s show will feature about a dozen secondary school singers and dancers who’ve been selected through an audition process to perform with the band. “There’s nothing like singing with a big band,” says Sparling. They’ll experience the thrill of performing some of the 20th century’s greatest standards with a swingin’ big band. It’s not exactly what you’d call “their” music - but I’ve never met a singer of any age who wasn’t over the moon about doing these great songs with 17 talented and swinging musicians providing the accompaniment.” For the last three years, the Commodores have raised money at the Parsons show to provide post-secondary financial help to high school

Champions honoured, suicide group nets much-needed funding Belleville - In what had been billed as a celebration of those who help the services for local mental health, a highlight was the announcement of a substantial donation to help the survivors of suicide. At the May 4 ceremony at Canadian Mental Health Association Hastings Prince Edward Branch to 13 individuals and agencies for their continued help to the agency, it was announced the agency’s Suicide Bereavement program has been granted $39,000 from the Parrott Foundation. The funds will permit the CMHA of HPE to continue to offer bereavement counselling services for another 18 Recognized as “champions,” the Canadian Mental Health Association Hastings months. Prince Edward Branch honoured 13 individuals and agencies for their contin- “It means we have funds dedicated for one on one support for 15 hours,” said executive director Sandie ued help to the agency. Chris Malette/Metroland Sidsworth. “It’s an amazing opportunity to really
consolidate and support.” The CMHA-HPE has been offering clinics on Saturday for nearly a year. “The demand has outweighed the capacity,” Sidsworth expressed. “Now I’m looking to hire another grief support worker who will help survivors through that transition period.” Thursday, at the CMHA’s Maurice Rollins Centre for Hope, 13 individuals and agencies were recognized for their efforts in helping the community’s most vulnerable. The list of honorees include: Hastings-Quinte Paramedic Services; Belleville Police Services; Lisa Kemp; Luke Hendry; Nicole Kleinsteuber; Julie Sweeny; Steve Forbes; Anne-Marie Murphy; Janet Howson; Dafoe-Sweet family; Mary Woodman and Dee Leroy. “This is about honouring people who sometimes don’t get the recognition they deserve for the work that they do,” said Sidsworth. “This is about celebrating people who are taking care of the most vulnerable in our community with the least resources.”

LOWE, Robert Eugene It is with great sadness that the family of Robert Eugene Lowe announces his passing after a battle with lung cancer on Monday, April 24th, 2017 at Espanola Regional Hospital at the age of 70 surrounded by his loving family. Born in Trenton, ON October 29th, 1946 to predeceased Myrtle (McMurter) and Eugene Lowe. He is survived and sadly missed by his loving wife of 48 years, Vicki (Milner). He is predeceased by brother Harry and sister Kay (Lawrence) and loving Aunt Dora (McMurter). Left to mourn are brother John of Hamilton, sister Nancy Clement (Phil) of Trenton and mother-in-law Joyce “Slim” Milner. He was cherished by his three children Christopher (Tracy) of Whitecourt, AB, Daniel (Marsha) of Lively and Sandra Vocaturo (Joe) of Garson. He will be remembered for his strong work ethic and dedication to his family which he has instilled in them. Sadly missed by his six grandchildren Stephen, Jasmine, Matteo, Hailey, Ethan and Julia. They will remember him as Papa with his great sense of humor, love of animals and the outdoors. Missed and never forgotten by many nieces, nephews and extended family. Bob retired from Canadian General Electric in Trenton in 1994 after 28 years of service, then went on to his dream and became owner and operator of Black Bear Camp, a fishing and hunting camp for 14 years. He spent his retirement enjoying the outdoors, cutting grass at the Espanola Golf Course, spoiling his fur babies Angel and Kitkat, being the grandchildren’s biggest fan and relaxing with his soul mate Vicki. A special thank you goes out to the Espanola Hospital, Health Sciences North, Northeastern Cancer Centre, Dr. Paul Gibb and Jeannette of Bayshore for their heartfelt attention. As per Robert’s wishes there will be no visitation or service. A Celebration of Life will be held in Trenton on Saturday, June 10th, 2017 from 1 - 4 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 57 Stella Crescent, Trenton, ON.

TRAVEL
Cycling from Tennessee to Arkansas crossing the Mighty Mississippi BY JOHN M. SMITH
On my recent visit to Memphis, Tennessee, I decided to do some cycling, of course, and I was especially intrigued by its newly completed pathway across the Mississippi River. After all, the Harahan Bridge has been an active rail bridge for about one hundred years, but it has now also become the country’s longest active rail/bicycle/pedestrian bridge. The rail and pedestrian/bicycle sections are separated by a protective wall, for safety, and the mile-long Big River Crossing offers the cyclist or walker an easy ride or stroll from state to state. I started my particular ride at the Peddler Bike Shop, located on Main Street, and here I met my guides (owner Hal Mabray and employee Dan Wilson) and was provided with a bike for the ride. We then pedaled our way, with other cyclists, through some relatively quiet city streets and separate bike paths to the bridge itself – and then we made the spectacular crossing. We weren’t in any hurry, so we made several stops for photos, including some incredible views of downtown Memphis. I was particularly impressed by the towering Pyramid that I could see in the distance, and I learned that it was now home to the largest Bass Pro Shop of them all (I’d eventually visit this mammoth structure – and I became so impressed with this iconic mega store that I’ve decided to write a travel piece exclusively on it in the future). I could also see the nearby magnificent, arched road bridge on route #40 that also leads from state to state: the Hernando de Soto Bridge. The river itself, of course, provided me with the sighting of several boats, too. At about the bridge’s midway point, I left the state of Tennessee and entered into Arkansas, and after I completed the bridge crossing, I could continue my ride along a section of the Big River Trail all the way into downtown West Memphis, Arkansas (a 10 mi./17 km. ride from Main St., Memphis, TN to Main St., West Memphis, AR). If I wished, and had the time, I could then have linked up to a series of backroads and designated bike routes that con-
Cyclists and walkers enjoy the new bicycle/pedestrian pathway across the bridge. John M. Smith/Metroland
tinued all the way to Little Rock, Arkansas (a distance of about 180 mi./300km.). However, since I was on a mission specifically to explore the Memphis, TN area, I soon pedaled back over the Harahan Bridge and rode along the paved riverfront trail in Memphis. This took me right along the Mississippi River shoreline and into downtown Memphis – to the very structures that I had viewed from a distance from the Harahan Bridge. Along the route, I
biked through Tom Lee Park, which stretches from Beale St. to South Bluff, and here I found a commemorative statue of Tom Lee Park himself (in 1925, he had saved 32 people from drowning in the Mississippi River from a capsized and burning steamer).
While in this downtown area, I’d recommend checking out many of its interesting attractions, including the National Civil Rights Museum, the Beale Street Entertainment District, the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, the Memphis Rock n’ Soul Museum, the Mississippi River Museum, and the aforementioned Bass Pro Shop (Pyramid). The Shelby Farms Greenline is a 6.7 mi./11 km. urban trail (a railsto-trails project) that connects Midtown Memphis to Shelby Farms Park, one of the country’s largest urban parks and offering a plethora of outdoor activities, so your ride can continue from the downtown core. This particular route will take you through a canopy of large oaks, making it pleasantly cool even in the summer heat, and although it’s located within the city, you’ll feel relatively secluded. You’ll pass by some scenic wetlands, too, and perhaps view such wildlife as deer, wild turkey, or armadillo. Yet another popular trail that’s in the works is the Wolf River Greenway, and when it’s completed, this
pathway will take cyclists from the north end of Mud Island in downtown Memphis all the way to the neighbouring cities of Germantown and Collierville (a total distance of about 36 m./60 km.). Memphis’ growing greenway infrastructure and its newly completed bicycle/pedestrian bridge crossing have certainly created new enthusiasm for the avid cyclist. Indeed, cyclists are very excited about these local changes and improvements. Peddler Bike Shop owner Hal Mabray told me that “if you build it, they will come”. He continued, “I’ve had customers from such varied places as New York, New Orleans, Ireland, and Canada recently, and they’ve all wanted to ride bikes across the bridge or visit Graceland via two wheels”. However, for me, the cycling highlight was simply that relatively easy, scenic state to state bridge crossing.

Public Health staff continue to improve student immunization rate

Belleville – About 96 per cent of public school students in the Hastings Prince Edward region are now immunized for protection from a number of contagious diseases; a number, local health officials feel, represents a successful completion of the health unit’s immunization program and will make schools a safe place to be. Immunization manager Bill Sherlock updated board members on the program at the Wednesday, May 3 meeting. His presentation showed that as of May 1 there were 44 students who the board did not have immunization records for and are thus still suspended from school. It represents good progress, Sherlock said, considering that in January there
were about 4,400 unfilled records. The health unit worked with schools to hand out 313 suspension notices for students on April 21, the deadline day for students to have immunization records to public health after notices were sent out in January to parents of students who had unfilled records. These notices targeted students aged 7 (an age at which students should have most of their shots) and 17 (an age where students may be overdo for booster shots). The health unit’s immunization program ensures students are protected from diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis (whooping cough), meningococcal disease and varicella (chickenpox for children born in 2010 or later).
While the percentage of students immunized is 96 per cent, the percentage of students who the health unit now has records for is about 99 per cent, Sherlock said. Some parents – a very small minority, Sherlock said – do not get their children immunized for to medical or conscientious reasons, but must provide a record of their objection to public health. A medical exemption requires a doctor’s note and a conscientious exemption requires a legally notarized note. “Overall the process really works well,” Sherlock said. “It brings this to the forefront. “Students (who don’t follow the immunization process) aren’t allowed in (school). They know that.”
