BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — The Trenton Golden Hawks have won the Dudley-Hewitt Cup for the second year in a row, securing a spot at the Royal Bank Cup, national Jr. A championship in Cobourg. There wasn’t an empty seat in Trenton’s Duncan McDonald Memorial Community Gardens as fans watched the G-Hawks and Georgetown Raiders face off in the all or nothing 2017 Dudley-Hewitt Cut Central Canadian Jr. A championship finals, Saturday, May 6. Golden Hawks veteran and cocaptain Lucas Brown said it’s an unbelievable feeling to make it to the RBC for the second year. “It’s a once in a lifetime thing and I’ve been lucky to do it twice,” said Brown. “Last year we came up short so I think a lot of us want to do it for the guys that were with us last year that came up short with us, that was pretty heartbreaking, and we have an unbelievable team this year as well.” Brown said he can’t wait to play in the RBC with his teammates and he’s proud of what they’ve been able to accomplish together. “We battled so much adversity this year, injury, obviously we didn’t get the result we wanted in the Buckland Cup final but to come back here to win the one that matters to punch our ticket to the RBC, that’s what matters,” he said.

Trenton Golden Hawks’ Chays Ruddy stands with loyal G-Hawks fans after the Dudley-Hewitt Cup championship game on Saturday May 6. Erin Stewart/Metroland

Anthony Sorrentino, who scored the first goal of the game, said the big 2-1 win was a first for him. “I’ve never won anything big like this before so it’s a pretty cool expe-

rience,” he said. “I’m ecstatic, not many people get the opportunity to play in a national championship, I can’t wait to go to the RBC, I’m over the moon.”

Golden Hawks coach Jerome Dupont said Georgetown put up a tremendous fight and it felt great to win the Dudley for the second year. Please Continue on Page 2 and Page 3...

“It’s not easy to repeat and it’s a testimony to the character of our players on the team and their resolve, getting the bye was important and we accomplished our goal going into the final, I think it made a difference,” he said.

...during a very tense final two minutes of the game when the Raiders pulled their goaltender and the Hawks were on apenalty kill. The Hawks played extremely hard to keep their lead, said Dupont. “The last two minutes in particular, blocking every shot under the sun and just doing whatever it took to be successful, I thought that was pretty impressive.” The Raiders didn’t capitalize on eight

power play opportunities while the Hawks didn’t score on four. Trenton’s goaltender Chris Janzen made 33 saves on 34 shots and Georgetown’s Nicholas Latinovich saved 24 out of 26 shots. The Golden Hawks will only have to make the 59-kilometre trip down Highway 401 to Cobourg for this year’s RBC Cup, from Saturday, May 13 to Sunday May 21.

Trenton – Quinte West could become home, one day, to a centre to address veterans’ mental health needs from across the country. A ‘political working group’ for the Veterans’ Centre of Excellence is set to form an advisory panel in Quinte West to help Trenton meet the criteria for a national centre for veterans’ care

assets and align them with the eligibility criteria provided by Veterans Affairs Canada.” “What better way to do so than by engaging local subject matter experts that possess an intimate knowledge of local services and health service providers and involving them in the process.” The 2017 federal budget included $17.5 million over four years, starting in 2018-19, to create a centre of excellence on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and related mental health conditions. The budget also includes $9.2 million per year ongoing, to ensure the centre has the tools it needs. A proposal to have the centres of excellence located in Trenton was submitted to Veterans Affairs Minister Kent Hehr about a year ago through the political working group, which includes Ellis, fellow MPs Kim Rudd and Mike Bossio, MPP Lou Rinaldi and Tamara Kleinschmidt, executive director of the Military Family Recourse Centre.

“I'm confident of our proposal currently under review by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs,” said MPP Rinaldi, Northumberland-Quinte West and chair of the political working group. “I feel we are a strong contender and we as a working group are advocating diligently to make sure that our proposal gets every consideration it can." The working group will proceed with identifying key individuals to form the advisory panel. The first meeting of the advisory panel will take place by the end of July 2017. Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said there have been a number of positive developments in healthcare in Quinte West. “With the work of Our TMH and MPP Lou Rinaldi on the preservation of Day Surgery at Trenton Memorial Hospital, the Healthhub making progress, a thriving Medical Arts Centre, and recent news of a physician who has purchased a building in Quinte West with the intent of hous-

ing physicians, we are as a community making great progress,” he said. “The addition of the Veterans Centre of Excellence would provide much needed specialized services for our veterans and in general be highly complementary to the healthcare system in our community, and region.”

Parents “extremely upset” over Bayside’s French immersion wait list BY ERIN STEWART

Bayside – Some parents hoping to enroll their children in Bayside Public School’s Grade 4 French immersion program have been blindsided by denied applications for registration. Wendy Riley, Bayside Public School’s school council chair, said that for the first time the Grade 4 French immersion program has been capped at two classrooms for a total of 60 students, with the first 60 applications accepted. “Parents are extremely upset because there just seems to be a lack of compassion for a family that has to take their kid out of a school it’s already in, or a family that has to separate siblings, it just doesn’t make any sense,” said Riley. February 24 was the registration deadline for the French immersion pro-

gram at Bayside Public School, part of the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB). Typically, Riley said they have three Grade 4 French immersion classrooms, last year they saw some growth and had four classes, because Grade 4 is the first year French immersion is offered. Riley said the unfair cap absolutely blindsided families and the school board has complete disregard for families already in the school and families yet to come. “There’s been no conversation at all, all that happened April 3 our school administration found out they were only being allowed to accept two Grade 4 classes, so we just think that that’s horrible timing and not fair to families,” she said.

“They should advertise that’s what’s going to happen when they are registering for the program.” One more classroom would cover the waiting list, said Riley, and it’s her understanding that there is space. “We do feel that the third class should be re-allocated to Bayside Public School, simply on the premise that families weren’t aware of this going into the registration process,” she said. Kerry Donnell, communications officer for the HPEDSB, responded to the concerns and said French immersion public information sessions were held and the deadline was stressed through the board’s website, social media and newsletters “All registrations that were received by the due date from students who live within the French immersion catchPRICES EFFECTIVE ment area for BayThursday May 11 to side Public School, those students Wednesday May 17 received confirmation,” she said. “Based on the number of registrations coming in,

STORE HOURS: Monday thru Sunday 8:00am - 10:00pm

there are enough students for two classes, not enough for three classes, so there is a waiting list.” Donnell said the deadline is a key date because staffing decisions for teachers were made shortly after. Another issue is space, she said. “We just don’t have any room to expand for more classes, even if we could,” she said. “I feel so badly for families who thought they may get in and now they haven’t. The challenge becomes putting a program in place but then we can’t keep hosting it where there isn’t room to go and for September 2017 there’s not enough space at Bayside public or the secondary school to host an additional French immersion class,” said Donnell. For parents looking to register their children in French immersion, Donnell said Bayside Grade 4 isn’t an option unless students drop out of the program. The only option now is to register students at another school offering French immersion, the closest being Harry J. Clarke Public School in Belleville or Prince Charles Public School in Trenton, said Donnell. “What I would recommend is that

parents that are on the waiting list, if they wanted to look at registering their children at another school, Trenton or Harry J. Clarke, if they’re able to take their children to school that way, if they get them registered they’re in French immersion and at least they know they’re in the program come September,” she said. Brad Beale, vice chair of the Bayside Public School Council, is not happy with the options for families with children on the waiting list. “No effort has been made to find space, in any business or government, solutions can be found,” he wrote in a statement. “There is space. In a time, when the board in its background reports and studies says they have too much capacity, when confronted with a space need, they cannot find an answer. There is space.” Beale said the imposed limit of 60 students was not advertised, as not one family was aware of it. “They advertise for a program that they cannot support,” he said. “It is re-iterated that the HPEDSB should re-work its strategy for accommodation French immersion for Grade 4 students for the upcoming 2017-18 school year.”

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

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.

DISTRIBUTION MANAGER Paul Mitchell 613-966-2034 ext 508 SALES MANAGER Melissa Hudgin 613-966-2034, ext 504 ADVERTISING SALES Norah Nelson, 613-966-2034, ext 501 Michael Kelly, 613-966-2034, ext 506 Morgan Scott, 613-966-2034 ext 518 Orlinda Johnston, 613-966-2034 ext 526

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.

Front Street Farmers’ Market kicks off new season BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — A gloomy and wet Saturday morning couldn’t dampen an excellent start to the season for Trenton’s Front Street Farmers’ Market on May 6. Bea Heissler of Natural Themes Farms sells her organically grown produce at the market and said it was an excellent day, despite the weather. “The rain stopped and a lot of people came out, it was great,” she said. “The turnout was surprising, actually, very surprising.” Heissler said the turnout is a good sign for a busy season to come, and this year there are more than 20 vendors at the market. “Clearly, there is a shift in think-

ing where people want to buy local, they want to talk to the people who are actually producing, and people come here to chat, that’s a good part of the market,” said Heissler. Olga Peck-Callan is a regular customer at the market and walked over from her work to check out its 2017 debut. “I like coming here. It’s fun, and when the music is on, it’s kind of like a whole new experience,” she said. “There’s always something new.” Supporting the local community and buy-

ing fresh is absolutely important, said PeckCallan. “You know where it’s coming from, it’s not being trucked across the country or two countries or three countries,” she said. “It’s all local and it’s all homemade and it’s good for you.” Yan Skoba and his family are beekeepers of Honey and Queens Inc. in Codrington and are first-time vendors at Trenton’s market. “So far, today has been really great. We’ve had a lot of customers and everyone is sur-

prised by how many people turned out,” said Skoba. “I think this is a really nice market because the people are all really nice, this will be a nice place to start.” Skoba said his family will continue to be at Codrington’s farmers market as well. “We would like to get the word out about us, I very much look forward to a good year, warm weather, hopefully enough rain for our producers this year but sunny days on vending days,” he laughed. The Front Street Farmers’ Market runs every Wednesday and Sunday, May through October, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Tattoo artist jailed, facing 30 sex charges Belleville - The Belleville tattoo parlour owner who generated a blizzard of social media accusations for sexual assault and indecent acts that eventually resulted in several more complainants coming forward was in court Thursday and faces more charges. As was reported in Belleville News, lead Belleville police investigator Det.Sgt. Brad Lentini said the wide exposure of the original news story on social media resulted in many more women coming forward.

address additional charges against him for allegations of sexual assault and indecent acts police say he committed against female clients of his tattoo shop. The influx of complainants resulted in police laying 30 more charges and a publication ban has been put in place to protect the identities of those complainants. Melvin, who is now in custody until a further hearing May 10 in Belleville court, had originally been charged in April with on count each of sexual assault and one of committing an indecent act. Those charges were outlined Thursday in court and numbering 30, with Lentini saying he expects “that number to possibly grow as we speak to more complainants…”

Earlier in April, after the initial charges were reported, Lentini said his phone at police headquarters lit up with further calls from women who contacted him about allegations against Melvin. “Since the release and the subsequent items online and in the media, I’ve spoken with about 12 more individuals who have come forward either with complaints or information,” Lentini told Belleville news at the time. “Some were simply requesting information or providing information and others may result in further charges.” The investigation began in early March, said police, when they “received a complaint about a local businessman sexually assaulting a female patron while she was re-

ceiving services. Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Branch continued the investigation and on April 3… arrested and charged .. Melvin, of Belleville, with one count of committing an indecent act and one count of sexual assault.” Melvin appeared at a bail hearing after the initial charges and was released from custody. But, he was subsequently returned to jail last week when the additional charges were laid and he remains in jail un- Kenneth Wayne Melvin, 47, is til his next court appearance May shown here in a Facebook photo from his page for Skin Graffix. 10.

Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden to be unveiled May 13 BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – The Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden has been brought to life and will be unveiled in a celebration on Saturday May 13 at 11 a.m. with a reception to follow at the Trent Port Marina. The garden in memory of “Mr. Quinte,” located adjacent to the Trent Port Marina, includes a main stone monument and five life chapter stones, representing the different parts of O’Neil’s life. “We’re all excited to see it come to fruition, once the flowers are in and come into bloom it’ll be a very nice addition to the whole area, a nice attraction for people to come here and enjoy,” said Councillor Duncan Armstrong, co-chair of the

friendship garden committee alongside John Williams. “The O’Neil family are welcoming anybody in the community to come and join them in the unveiling, that’s what Mr. Quinte would have wanted, he was a man of the people and his reach was far,” said Armstrong. The friendship garden committee, including Wayne Garrison, Norah Buckley, Pat O’Neil, Don O’Neil and Sue O’Brien, raised more than $80,000 to bring the garden to life, said Armstrong. Known as an educator, entrepreneur, community volunteer and true family man, O’Neil died in September 2015 at the age of 79 after spending years dedicated to improving the community.

O’Neil was president of Trenton Kiwanis Club, director of the Quinte Arts Council, past chair of the Loyalist College Foundation, the Quinte Ballet School and National Air Force Museum of Canada and a strong Our TMH advocate, to name a few of his roles in the community. O’Neil was first elected to provincial politics in 1975 and was appointed to Minister of Culture and Communications on June 5, 1990. In recognition of his contributions during more than 20 years of political life and in particular to honour his significant support to the arts both locally and provincially, the Quinte Provincial Liberal Association established the Hugh P. O'Neil Bursary Fund.

Quinte Health Care receives $3 million boost in provincial budget The provincial government is investing $3,005,495 from the 2017 budget in Quinte Health Care to provide faster access to health and expand services and procedures. Each of Ontario’s 141 public hospitals will receive a minimum 2 per cent increase to its base funding in 2017-18, proposed in the 2017 budget to directly benefit patients, stated a press release from Lou Rinaldi’s office, MPP Northumberland-Quinte West, on Friday May 5. Northumberland Hills Hospital will see an increase of $839,395 and Campbellford Memorial Hospital will get an additional $279,300. "I meet regularly with the CEO’s of our three hospitals and have been listening to their concerns,” stated Rinaldi. “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."

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said it’s a fantastic investment. "Improvements to healthcare in our community are much appreciated by all residents of Quinte West,” he said. The funding will provide more access to cardiac services, critical care, organ/tissue donations and transplants, rare disease care, bariatric services and support new and redeveloped hospitals. It will also improve access and reduce wait times for chemotherapy, stated the release, as well as stroke treatments, hip and knee replacements and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). “By increasing our investment to each and every publicly funded hospital in Ontario, patients will be able to connect with special- MPP Lou Rinaldi at Quinte West city hall ists faster, have reduced wait times and better on April 28.

Kiwanis Walleye World derby goes on, despite rough waters BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Quinte West – Water was plentiful, but fish were not at the Kiwanis Walleye World derby on the weekend. The annual event, which boosts tourism and raises money for kidsfocused initiatives by Kiwanis, went ahead as scheduled May 5-7, but organizers admitted that extraordinarily high water levels and flood warnings throughout the area limited participation numbers and made things challenging for anglers. Jay McArthur, a Kiwanis Club member who organizes the event, couldn’t quote participation numbers on Sunday, nor the amount of money that was raised. But, he said he expected that when the final stats are tallied, the numbers will be below normal. The event, in the past, has drawn up to 5,000 participants, some coming great distance to fish for trophy walleye in the worldrenowned Bay of Quinte waters. Yet, there were still enough willing participants to make the event a success, he said. “It was a challenging weekend for the event,” he said Sunday night from a tent near Trenton’s Centennial Park, before handing out awards. The scene outside was eerie, as much of the waterfront park was flooded and only a

few boats remained in the parking lot. “But a lot of people still had a great weekend,” he added. Jeff Lupton and Casey O’Brien took home the biggest prizes – Legend boats. Lupton caught the biggest walleye on the weekend, a fish that weighed in at 11.48 pounds, to earn the senior walleye trophy. His new boat, a Legend 16 Xterminator, is valued at more than $20,000.

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 Farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water buffalo are the big cheese In an article published May 4, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bird banger case ends in saw-off for farmer, neighbours,â&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like they are twice a day at the Ontario Water Buffalo Company, at 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking for the norm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tend to take the road less travelled,â&#x20AC;? Littkemann

says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like doing something different, and in Canada, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to find something more different to farm than water buffaloâ&#x20AC;?

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.

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. Some demy way through first year at the Uni- cades later, having moved to the Trenversity of Guelph; I won’t be specific

Dan Clost

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.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

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.

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.

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.”
