PORT HOPE ON – Last month’s news about the biggest measles outbreak in living memory still has me on edge.

In case you haven’t heard, 41,000 children and adults across Europe were sickened – between January and June alone – 37 people are dead, and the outbreak isn’t over yet.

Beyond imagining the great human suffering (I and my six sibs all had measles) there are three reasons I’m having such tortured thoughts.

First, the outbreak in Europe shows exactly what can happen when vaccination rates fall below the optimum 95 per cent needed for herd immunity that further protects society’s most vulnerable, such as babies too young for vaccination.

Measles is also highly contagious, so much so that Dr. David Curran, a research fellow at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, tells me that a person with measles would end up infecting, on average, 14-17 other people if everyone around them was susceptible, adding:

“That’s how it spreads like absolute wildfire.”

Moreover, “In vaccinated people, the immune system is primed so it shuts reinfection down fast, before the virus can cause disease and spread,” explains Dr. Sue Rodger-Withers, a now retired virologist who spent her career at the Fairfield Hospital for Infectious Diseases in England.

“Vaccines aren’t magic shields.”

No magic needed. Vaccines are highly effective tools that Dr. Sarah Wilson, a physician at Public Health Ontario, reminds me are tested for safety from the moment they are considered, up to the time they’re approved (by regulatory authorities) then monitored continuously over the lifetime of their use.

Second, I’ve had it with the spreaders of vaccine-related lies, told by people so clearly addicted to their own minor celebrity on social media that they continue to repeat tired (though dangerous) conspiracy theories to scam people into believing all kinds of nonsense including that measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases aren’t serious diseases. (Bollocks!)

And third, measles was declared eradicated in Canada in 1998. But if we continue to go the way of the US, with pockets of low measles immunization where diseases can establish a foothold, we could see outbreaks like last year’s in Minnesota, the Disneyland outbreak of 2015 and others. Remember, measles can be brought in by travellers from countries where the disease remains common. And measles can be contracted while travelling with unprotected kids outside of Canada.

A pharmacist I spoke with for the story shared:

“Everyone should have the MMR vaccine. People can’t afford the ‘luxury’ of not getting vaccinated simply because they’ve never seen a case of measles. The reason they’ve never seen it is because we’ve been so good at prevention. But if the trend of wanting to get away from the MMR vaccine continues, we’re going to be in a position of reacting to a very serious problem.”

Look, I’m a layperson. I hadn’t even intended to put my voice in this story but feel I have to use what

 I’ve got. I’ve seen polio. I’ve seen a friend’s mother lose her mind after her baby died of whooping cough. Left is a photo of the scar left by my own tracheotomy, an emergency procedure performed in the middle of the night as a result of having contracted H. influenzae type B at age four. The infection, in my case, caused epiglottitis and near-fatal closing of the windpipe.

Today, parents can protect their children with the Hib vaccine.

Among the reasons I’m including this personal information is that it is my hope that any parent who might understandably feel hesitant about vaccines – given all the noise out there – will talk to a healthcare professional; a doctor, nurse practitioner or pharmacist. Or contact their local public health office. They’ll listen respectfully to your concerns and provide the help you need.

But I would also encourage parents not to be drawn in by ideas that homeopathy (including nosodes) or chiropractic can replace vaccines. There is no such thing as a vaccine replacement.

Back in June, pharmacist Graham Mackenzie of Baddeck Nova Scotia was making headlines across Canada for banning homeopathic products from his pharmacy, so I contacted him.

“I have to sleep at night and my first responsibility is to do no harm. Meaning, if I sell something to a customer there should at least be some evidence that it can produce an effect, pain reduction for example. So, if homeopathy inadvertently does harm because a toddler remains in pain, or has an underlying health problem that remains unaddressed it’s not ethical. How can it be?”

I personally applaud Graham Mackenzie’s move. Homeopathy isn’t an herbal thing. Herbs can actually have a medicinal effect. Homeopathy is water (or water and sugar) said to have the ability to remember an ingredient that has been completely diluted out – a piece of rock from the Berlin Wall for instance or rabid dog saliva. You can look those examples up.

But if you have further curiosity, here’s a link to “Drugstore Remedies: Licence to Deceive,” which was produced by CBC’s Marketplace:

Is there any good news about vaccines? Yes!

According to the most recent Stats Can data, the vast majority of Canadian parents agree that vaccines can safely and effectively protect their children from infectious diseases, even while “hesitancy” is not uncommon.

Vaccine hesitancy isn’t a criticism by the way. In fact, it’s nothing new. Even the famous Ben Franklin – who among other things was a brilliant scientist and an inventor – laments in his 18th century autobiography that failure to inoculate his son was a mistake. The boy died of smallpox at the tender age of four and Franklin urges parents to “choose the safer.”

After reading about Ben Franklin, I recalled a similar moment of clarity at age 13. Learning that a friend’s Arabian was suffering from lockjaw, and after the poor mare’s misery had ended, I mentioned the tragedy to another friend who snapped:

“She’s an idiot! Her horse wouldn’t be dead if it had had just a tetanus shot.”

Knowledge is power. Please get it from a trusted source.

CALLS FOR SERVICE

There were 61 calls for service in the City of Cornwall in the last 24 hours (8 am the previous day to 8 am the day of the release).

Cornwall Ontario – The city likes to give out voodoo numbers when it comes to tax increases, but the bottom line is the bottom line.  If you raise taxes nearly 20% per term without increasing revenues something always gives out.

Even worse, if you borrow money to pay for a tax increase, as Cornwall did this year, you now are paying the piper and their interest.   Credit card cheque to cheque living is not good for a community’s bottom line.

So we conducted an experiment to see what your tax bill would be for a MPAC assessed property of $250,000 in Cornwall and then compared it to other nearby communities.

In Cornwall according to the city’s tax calculator, the municipal and education tax would come out to a whopping $4042.08.   That does NOT include water and sewage.

What’s scary about this chart from the city of Cornwall website is that it’s more expensive for residential taxes in Cornwall than Ottawa, Kingston, and even Brockville Ontario.   And while a limp argument can be made for Kingston and Ottawa being larger cities, Brockville is nearly half the size of Cornwall.

Add in the lack of services and poor quality of what does exist and the question turns to what the heck is the City of Cornwall doing with all this dosh?   And why are residents putting up with the tax rape?

Many aren’t.  While the official population of Cornwall is 46,000 the probability is that there are now less than 40,000 living in the city.   Many people are leaving including seniors.  Some to the nearby townships, but many are moving to Quebec.

Think about that for a second.   How bad is it in Cornwall that people are choosing Quebec and their special political sunny ways over actually living in Canada?

Looking at Cornwall’s chart one sees a few blaring items.  Over a third of the entire budget is devoted to Emergency services with police having an insane amount of the budget in a town that simply doesn’t have much crime.   What is Cornwall spending over $50K per day on?

This is where it gets scary.   The city is spending less than $600 of that $4k on infrastructure and roads.    They claim to be spending about $400 on recreation and parks?  How does that work?  Really?   Does that tell you how much the White Elephant that the Benson Centre is, is costing us?

And eventually you simply have to fix infrastructure.

$116 goes to the library which seems extremely excessive.  I have nothing against libraries, but at what point do you stop pumping in cash without getting warranted value back?   And now Flipper and friends want to add in a full service art centre which should be in the library building in the first place.   How much extra will that cost yearly to taxpayers?  How many White Elephants can Cornwall afford?

We’re nearly paying as much for admin as we do for road repair and snow clearing.   Ding!  Give the young person a cookie for seeing a red flag on that one too.

It certainly is a scary picture compared to say… Ottawa, which while it has challenges of its own, has a public that seems more determined to focus on the bottom line.

Ottawa is only $3,021.41 or 33% less than Cornwall!   Yes, it’s  larger city, but one with many more services and many good quality of life features that Cornwall simply doesn’t have.  While we have a derelict empty downtown strip, Ottawa has the Byward Market, the Glebe, and many other awesome nooks and crannies.

Ottawa spends less than $600 on fire and police.  Cornwall?  About $1350 or over double Ottawa.  Is there that much more fire and crime in Cornwall or is there really really bad management, corruption, and cronyism?

Kingston is about $3200 per year.  They have an amazing police service.  First rate healthcare, an amazing waterfront, and good quality of life that is raising their property values. And really friendly and supportive city staff.

Brockville, which is smaller than Cornwall, came in at $3594.57.

With a municipal election coming up we have at least one Candidate, Elaine MacDonald, who said that raising taxes was good.   She must be very happy with her tax bill in Cornwall then.   Of course not all of us live off of retired school teacher pensions.

Our CAO, Maureen Adams, was the city’s chief financial officer for years before becoming CAO.  Taxes have skyrocketed since she took the job.  Clearly she doesn’t seem to have a handle on managing her money, certainly not as well as Sean Adams seems to?

While there really aren’t a lot of options in this election locally to vote for if you want to try and reign in the tax rape of Cornwall, there are a few.

As the old saying goes:

You get the government you deserve!

In the meanwhile expect more tax increases of larger amounts during the next four years.  It’s a scary time to live in Cornwall if you’re living on a fixed income, and clearly we are losing people and scaring off others.

And we’re not even going to talk about how Cornwall Hydro is now more expensive than Hydro One which should see rates become even better under the Ford Government.

Cornwall Ontario – It is always wonderful to see our young people out in the community

volunteering to help support their organizations.

On the Thanksgiving Saturday, the Army Cadets were ‘tagging ‘ us.

Two very charming young girls were located at Giant Tiger, one in uniform.

They were both very pleasant and I bought two tags, one from each of them.

Little chilly for the Cadets with a cold wind blowing but they didn’t seem to mind. Ah, to be young again.!!

The Army Cadets web site is: www.armycadetleague.on.ca

On the website it states that the Army Cadets learn to use maps, first aid, camping and survival skills, canoeing, trekking, mountain biking, GPS technology and other activities could include parachuting, white-water rafting and glacier climbing. In addition to their specialty training, the Army Cadets could be involved in, among other activities, sports competition, marksmanship and biathlon sports, music training and competitions. Lots of great activities for our teenagers. There is another website on how to become a Sea, Army or Air Cadet. Go to Http://www.cadets.ca/en/join/cadets.page for more information.

The headline read:” Is Your toddler a little monkey?” An article published in September by the Ottawa Citizen Newspaper (The Telegraph ) : (https://ottawacitizen.com/news/world/is -your-toddler-a-little-monkey-researchers-amaze.) about researchers who were amazed to confirm that toddlers are” just tiny apes” who share 96% of the very same gestures.

It states that before children learn to talk they use hand and body movements to communicate just like chimps and gorillas. The Chimpanzees research was conducted in Uganda and the young children were observed in Germany and Uganda. Some of the same gestures include hand and body movements to communicate. Children, age one and two, apparently use 52 gestures such as: head shaking, poking, stomping, hitting themselves and throwing objects and 50 of these movements are also used by apes. Very interesting article.

One day was kind of a ‘ babies day’. Having just read the article I was a bit mesmerized watching some of the babies gestures in strollers and others toddling down the store aisles. One little baby boy in a stroller looked as if he was trying to get his toes in his mouth. I mentioned the research very briefly to the mom but I don’t think the mother was very impressed with my little talk about the babes and chimps. I thought later that it is probably not a good idea to tell a mom about the research because it may sound too close to home, instead of research. She may have thought I was insinuating that her baby boy was like a little monkey. Too personal, I guess. He was cute, though and I wonder if he ever got those little toes of his toes in his mouth. He was giving it a good try anyway.

I was reminiscing with my old classmates, Frances Glass Irwin and Myrna Plumley Watt lately about when we were In grades 7 and 8 at Central Public School. The girls had Home economics and the boys had Woodworking. I know my brothers made some nice pieces of wooden articles. We girls had sewing and cooking. I have to admit that I remember very little of it and probably would have forgotten even more had I not made this little garment cover in sewing class. My Mom kept it for me and I still have it.

My friends Fran and Myrna remember that the teacher’s name was Miss Graham. They both recalled sewing a skirt. The said we learned to sew on buttons. Myrna made a potholder that was a pink owl with a large black stitching around it and she still has it. She thinks we made an apron and white blouse also. Fran remembers that we had to show the teacher each step we made like pinning, basting, etc. We remembered making a dessert, “Blanc Mange”. Doesn’t sound like I would have liked it since it is only flour, milk, vanilla and sugar…no chocolate. Fran thinks we made cookies also and probably lots of other stuff too. Looks like we learned a lot and probably had a lot of fun doing it. And at that age, many moons ago, of about 11-13 yrs old, we were probably quite proud of what we had accomplished.

I remember more about our music classes those years. I started out learning how to play the violin and how to take care of it. Somewhere along the line though, I was switched to an Alto, a small brass instrument. It could be that the teacher got tired of my ‘squawking’ on the violin and thought she could endure a little ‘beep- beep’ on the horn better. I have to admit, it may be true.

I have had this book for quite awhile. I think I picked it up years ago at a book sale. This is a 1951 Edition with a 1951 copyright. It has many essays, quotations and poems including some inspirational passages from the Bible. There is 489 pages and hundreds of authors including Alfred Lord Tennyson, Robert Browning, Emily Bronte and Rudyard Kipling to name only a very few. There are quotes from Dwight D. Eisenhower, William Faulkner and Benjamin Disraeli , Albert Schweitzer, Vincent Van Gogh, Marcus Aurelius and Winston Churchill to name some of them.

There are 3 quotes of Winston Churchill dated January 17, May 13 and June 4, all 1940. The last one contains some lines from his famous speech: “We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…”

Great book to pick up and read anytime.

Speaking of little monkeys…. My friend Linda had a female Calico cat named Pacer. Linda said that she got Pacer as a tiny kitten and even then, the cat had very long legs.

Pacer figured out when she was quite young how to flush the toilet and it became one of her favourite things to do. She could jump up from the floor to the top of the toilet tank, lean way down, push the handle and the toilet would flush. She would watch the water swirling around in the bowl. Probably liked the sound also.

Watching the cat lean over so far made Linda afraid Pacer would end up head first in the toilet bowl. When the water stopped swirling, Pacer would push the handle again and start all over. Living in a townhouse at the time with very thin walls, Linda used to tie the bathroom door handle to a railing to keep the cat out of the bathroom when she wasn’t home so as to not disturb the neighbours with the continual flushing noise.

Linda said that Pacer didn’t seem to like other people in the house and when Linda had visitors, the cat stayed upstairs. One evening when she was hosting a group of friends, Pacer, as usual, was nowhere to be seen. One of the guests advised her that her upstairs toilet was running continuously. It didn’t take Linda long to figure out what was happening. Because she was home she hadn’t tied the bathroom door shut and Pacer was letting her know how she felt about Linda’s guests. What a cat!! What a little monkey!!

Have a good week, Dawn
