In an unprecedented move, Rockland county, New York has declared a 'state of emergency' over measles infections, has banned unvaccinated children from public places and sends the health dept. door to door.

Rockland County Executive Ed Day held a press conference earlier today to announce that he had declared a "state of emergency" regarding the New York state county's 153 cases of measles over a 6-month period, and placed a ban on all children under the age of 18 from appearing in any public area, which includes schools, malls and places of worship.

Mr. Day said that this was the "first such effort of this kind nationally."

The emergency ban is clearly targeted towards parents of unvaccinated children, as Mr. Day stated:

Parents will be held accountable if they are found to be in violation of this state of emergency act. And the focus of this effort is on the parents of these children. We are urging them once again, now with the authority of law, to get your children vaccinated.

Mr. Day tried to downplay fears of police checkpoints and random checks for vaccination status, but he also stated that any parent found to be not in compliance with the emergency order would be referred to the district attorney's office for possible prosecution.

If we have a situation where it comes to our attention that a parent is willingly, knowingly, not allowing a child to be vaccinated, under the emergency order, it will be referred into the district attorney.

The Rockland County Health Department, who recommended the emergency ban, has reportedly been going door to door and calling homes within the community in an effort to deal with the measles "epidemic."

Day was critical of those who did not welcome the home visitations:

Our inspectors have begun to meet increasing resistance from those they are trying to protect.
Our health inspectors have been hung up upon or told not to call again. They've been told "we're not discussing this – do not come back," when visiting the homes of infected individuals as part of their investigations.
This kind of response is not acceptable, and frankly, irresponsible.
It is extremely difficult for our department of health to do their jobs when people refuse to cooperate with our investigators and fail to notify doctors when they are sick.

The Health Department and County Executive Ed Day plan to introduce legislation that would apparently make such a ban permanent in Rock County:

We're in the process of drafting a local law to provide for the protection of county residents and visitor[s] in the events of outbreaks of communicable diseases for consideration of our partners in government the Rockland County legislature.

We owe this to the residents of our community so that we never have to go through this again.

During the question period of the news conference, someone asked a question about the possibility of legal challenges to the ban based on religious objections. Most of the measles outbreaks in Rockland County have occurred in Jewish communities, where travelers from Israel have allegedly been infected with the measles there.

Also, New York is one of the states in the U.S. that allows religious exemptions to vaccines by law.
Mr. Day was rather adamant in his reply:

Fluoride Risks for Kidney Patients

Fluoride Risks for Kidney Patients

Kidney disease markedly increases an individual’s susceptibility to fluoride toxicity. The kidneys are responsible for ridding the body of ingested fluoride, and thereby preventing the buildup of toxic levels of fluoride in the body. In healthy adults, the kidneys are able to excrete approximately 50% of an ingested dose of fluoride. However, in adults with kidney disease the kidneys may excrete as little as 10 to 20% of an ingested dose – thus increasing the body burden of fluoride and increasing an individual’s susceptibility to fluoride poisoning.

If you know anyone with impaired kidney function...

 

Response to Green New Deal

GOP lawmaker: Real climate change fix is to have more kids

During a speech on the Senate floor, Republican Sen. Mike Lee joked that if the Green New Deal passes, people would get around by riding Tauntauns, a fictional creature from "Star Wars," and said that the real solution to fighting climate change is to have more children.

Question

Question; would you be willing to instruct the Town to borrow a large sum of money (at least 25 million) to be put into stabilization fund, which requires a 2/3 vote to use those funds, which would be designated for road repair only. No equipment, no employee costs, used only to pay for road rebuilds to get our roads in good condition in a short period of time - five years from when these projects begin?

Question: would you prefer to have any free cash, that say, board of selectmen wish to leave out there, so to speak, as working capital, put into a stabilization fund to be used for road repair only? The Town can create any number of stabilization funds as they feel is required. This would put taxpayer monies in the hands of taxpayers, as much as is possible and this too would require a 2/3 vote to take money out of the fund to pay for roads. Unlike the ambulance receipts reserved for appropriation, there would be no wiggle room for a town administrator or selectmen. 

Well, Town Meeting could make a substitute motion and reduce Town Budget request by not allowing ambulance receipts to support general fund. Town Meeting could make this the last year free cash can be used to support town budget, hold selectmen to the policies they passed and tell them to get their sh*t together, bring a true balance budget to Town Meeting! I think the roads this year are what people are going to be most upset about. To be sure, the gas tax we all pay, it is not going to cover the costs involved.




A few questions - borrowing a large sum of money ($25 million) would just about double the current tax rate in Templeton.

Placing money in stabilization accounts is a great idea! It takes a 2/3 vote by TOWN Meeting to place money into a stabilization and a 2/3 vote by TOWN Meeting to take money out of stabilization. 

A better idea may be form Town meeting to vote the entire Templeton operating budget into Stabilization as the first order of business at the Annual Town meeting. It's one way to hold the selectmen accountable and implement the votes taken at Town Meeting .

Road repairs will never be performed adequately until Templeton reforms its government. Templeton does not have a DPW; it has a mishmash of departments combined for the sole purpose of removing certain employees.

There is no coordination between the water department, the highway department and the sewer department (utilities = public works) regarding addressing the failing utility infrastructure UNDER the roads, before the road surface is repaved.

A case in point -When Baldwinville Road was repaved, the sewer infrastructure was relatively new,  but the water mains were and are old. The water infrastructure was not updated. The road was repaved and a few water mains burst. Go figure.

Do water mains break? Yep, they do. Has a study been done to analyze what needs to be fixed to address the aging water system in Templeton? Why, yes it has. 

Any one in a Templeton leadership position, know what the plan is; if the plan is being implemented; what it might cost? Has it ever been approved or discussed at Town Meeting?

 

Hundreds of scientists issue joint warning about cancer-causing effects of WiFi, Bluetooth and wireless communications

(Natural News) Warnings from concerned experts about the dangers of wireless communication devices like cellphones and tablets have been rumbling in the distance for some time now. And these warnings are becoming increasingly insistent as more evidence emerges linking this type of technology to brain, heart and other cancers.

The established health effects of the non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMFs) dispensed by these devices also include increased electrosensitivity, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), immune system disorders, infertility, asthma and neurological disorders – and that’s with older, less damaging 2G, 3G and 4G technology.

Experts are incredibly worried about the effects of 5G, which is already being rolled out in several U.S. cities and is scheduled to be installed in countries around the world in the next few years. Consumers are excited about promises that 5G will facilitate downloads at up to 100 times greater speeds than 4G technology, all while providing more stable connections and greater capacity.

Those who know the potential dangers, however, are gravely concerned. As reported by Waking Times, a group of 250 scientists from over 40 countries recently handed in a petition to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN), warning about the scientifically proven dangers of EMFs. (Related: Studies confirm that potential risks of 5G wireless radiation are too serious to ignore.)

A scientific basis for concern

The international appeal, entitled Scientists Call for Protection from Non-Ionizing Electromagnetic Field Exposure, warns:

Fluoride & Osteoarthritis

By Michael Connett | August 2012

Osteoarthritis, the number one cause of disability in the U.S., is a disease marked by a progressively debilitating stiffness and pain in the joints. The stiffness and pain results from degeneration in the joint cartilage, degeneration in the bone tissue underlying the joints, and bony overgrowth as well. (CDC 2011) The CDC estimates that over 27 million Americans have the condition.

It has long been observed that skeletal fluorosis (a bone disease caused by too much fluoride) can cause symptoms and degenerative changes that closely resemble osteoarthritis. While these arthritic effects were once considered to be confined to those with skeletal fluorosis, recent research shows that fluoride can cause osteoarthritis in the absence of traditionally defined fluorosis.

If conventional methods for detecting skeletal fluorosis continue to be used, many individuals with fluoride-induced osteoarthritis will not receive the correct diagnosis and treatment.

Symptoms and Bone Changes of Skeletal Fluorosis Can Closely Resemble Osteoarthritis

The symptoms of skeletal fluorosis (chronic joint pain and stiffness) mimic the symptoms of osteoarthritis. As an example of this, the following figure displays the findings from a recent Chinese study that investigated the prevalence of osteoarthritic symptoms in populations based on the level of fluoride in the drinking water:



It’s not just the symptoms of fluorosis that resemble osteoarthritis; the bone changes of fluorosis resemble osteoarthritis as well. Skeletal fluorosis causes bony outgrowths (i.e., osteophytes), degradation and calcification of cartilage, osteosclerosis, and reduced space between the joint — conditions common to osteoarthritis, including osteoarthritis of the spine (spondylosis).  As noted in a recent study:

“because some of the early clinical symptoms resemble those of osteoarthritis, the first clinical phases of skeletal fluorosis could be easily misdiagnosed.” (Petrone 2011).

Fluoride Intake Can Cause Osteoarthritis

Not only can skeletal fluorosis produce bone changes that resemble osteoarthritis; it can cause osteoarthritis itself. (Luo 2012; Su 2012; Bao 2003; Savas 2001; Tartatovskaya 1995; Chen 1988; Xu 1987).

This fact was convincingly demonstrated in a recent, well-conducted study by a Chinese research group. (Bao 2003)  In the study, the researchers x-rayed the right hands of adults living in a fluorosis area. They then compared these x-rays with the findings of a nearby non-fluorosis area and the findings of a nationwide study that they had previously conducted. The incidence of osteoarthritis in the fluorosis area was “remarkably higher” than in either the adjacent area or the nation as a whole. According to the researchers, “the osteoarthritis caused by fluorosis differs from ordinary osteoarthritis in severity rather than in nature.”

Fluoride Can Cause Osteoarthritis BEFORE Skeletal Fluorosis Is Evident

For years, U.S. health authorities have assumed that fluoride does not cause arthritic symptoms before the traditional bone changes of fluorosis are evident on x-ray. Recent research strongly suggests that this long-held assumption is in error.
Savas (2001)

Of particular significance is a study from Turkey which found strong evidence of a fluoride-osteoarthritis link in individuals who did not have telltale sign of skeletal fluorosis. (Savas 2001) According to the study, the most common radiological finding among the fluorosis patients was knee osteoarthritis — which was found in 66% of the 56 fluorosis patients examined. By contrast, only 3.6% of the fluorosis patients had axial osteosclerosis (i.e., hyperdense bone of the lower spine and pelvis), which is regarded by U.S. authorities to be the first radiological sign of fluorosis. Thus, many of the fluorosis patients had knee osteoarthritis without simultaneously showing the spinal bone changes that US authorities still deem necessary to warrant a diagnosis of skeletal fluorosis.
Tartatovskaya (1995)

Consistent with this Turkish study, a team of Russian researchers have found that fluoride-exposed individuals suffer a significantly elevated rate of osteoarthritis in the absence of radiologically detectable fluorosis in the spine. (Tartatovskaya 1995).  The researchers, who were interested in determining whether fluoride exposure can exacerbate the wear and tear on joints from physical stress, examined two groups of mine workers with job activities that exposed them to significant vibration stress  (e.g., drilling). Workers who were exposed to fluoride dusts were found to have a significantly higher rate of elbow osteoarthritis (48.7% vs. 12.9%) and spondylosis (83.3% vs. 41.1%) than the mine workers not exposed to fluoride dusts.

To test the veracity of these findings, the Russian researchers conducted animal studies where they subjected mice to the isolated and combined effects of vibration and fluoride exposure. As with the mine workers, the mice  exposed to both vibration stress and fluoride experienced a greater frequency and earlier onset of degenerative joint changes than the mice exposed to either factor alone. The Russian researchers thus concluded that fluoride exposure can exacerbate the degenerative effect of physical stress on joints with or without the presence of radiologically detectable skeletal fluorosis.
Czerwinski (1988)

Consistent with the Turkish and Russian studies, a team of Polish researchers examined 2,258 fluoride-exposed workers in the aluminum industry and found high rates of arthritic effects in the absence of fluorosis bone changes. (Czerwinski 1988). Although the researchers could only detect fluorosis by x-ray in 1% of the workers, they found high rates of joint pain in the knee, hip, elbow, shoulder and lumbar spine, with the pains correlating to the duration of fluoride exposure. According to the researchers, “the only characteristic feature” of fluorosis is “multiple-joint involvement,” which “would differentiate fluorosis from monoarticular osteoarthritis, but unfortunately not from multiple-joint osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.”
Cao (2003)

Even among patients with crippling forms of fluorosis, degenerative joint damage can be the primary radiological finding, not osteosclerosis. In one study, for example, Chinese researchers found that 5 of 19 patients with crippling skeletal fluorosis “presented with mainly articular injury but relatively mild bone pathology.” (Cao 2003). The researchers termed this condition “fluorosis arthropathy.”

The Misdiagnosis Problem

In Winchendon, there are more seats than there are candidates for upcoming town election

WINCHENDON — Papers were due back on Monday evening, March 18, for positions on elected boards. Though some have returned for a chance to serve, there are not enough candidates to fill the empty seats, and there is not one contested race unless someone chooses to run a sticker campaign.
Having served multiple terms, Richard Morin Jr. will not be going for the three-year term for town moderator.

In his stead, Coral Grout has returned papers and will run for a position once held by her father, Charlie. Coral Grout has filled in when Morin has recused himself for zoning issues.

There are three positions open on the Board of Selectmen. Two of them are three-year seats, one for Audrey LaBrie, who is seeking another term; the second three-year seat was already vacated by Austin Cyganiewicz earlier this year. He will not be returning to the board in the near future. The one candidate vying for the position is Richard Ward. A one-year seat on the board was one occupied by CJ Husselbee who resigned late last year. Husselbee’s term was to end in 2020. No one has returned papers to fill that seat.

The Winchendon School Committee has at least one seat up for grabs this year, and no one has returned papers to run. School Committee member Dawn Fronte has already declared she will not be running for another term.

There were no takers for the single seat on the Board of Health. Edward Bond did not opt to pull papers this term and his seat is up. In previous years the seat has been won through a write-in vote.
A seat on the Winchendon Housing Authority is up, but David Johnson is seeking another term. He is the only person who has pulled and returned papers for the one seat.

The annual Town Election will be held May 6 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Murdock Senior Center.

Real-Life Data Show that the CDC Vaccine Schedule is Causing Harm

 

 

 Image above: Autism results in three groups of children — those who followed the “Vaccine-Friendly” Plan; those who received no vaccines and the CDC’s figures based on their recommended vaccine schedule.
By the Children’s Health Defense Team

In 2015, California’s governor signed SB277, a bill that eliminated the state’s nonmedical vaccine exemptions. The bill placed California families in the difficult position of either accepting the state’s “one-size-fits-all” vaccine mandate or forfeiting their children’s right to any preschool or K-12 classroom education. Not content with eviscerating parents’ right to exempt their children from even one of the nearly six dozen doses of vaccine currently required through age 18, the bill’s sponsor, shockingly, is now going after the sacrosanct doctor-patient relationship and seeking to invalidate doctor-granted medical exemptions. Writing in late 2018 in Pediatrics (the journal of the pro-“pharmaceutical agenda” American Academy of Pediatrics), the California legislator used thinly veiled words of intimidation to threaten disciplinary action for doctors who write “unwarranted” medical exemptions, including revoking their authority to grant such exemptions.

… ten years of practice data clearly show that unvaccinated and partially vaccinated children have a dramatically lower risk of autism compared to children vaccinated according to the CDC schedule.

 

Medical data from an integrative pediatric practice in neighboring Oregon suggest that California and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) should instead revoke their unforgiving one-size-fits-all approach to vaccination. Board-certified pediatrician Paul Thomas, who has a thriving practice in Portland, has just furnished a stunning response to officials’ demand that he “show the proof” that the slower, evidence-based vaccine schedule recommended in his book, The Vaccine-Friendly Plan, “is safer than the CDC schedule.” After opening up his practice data to a deep dive by an independent and internationally known health informatics expert, the consultant found results—“more powerful than a study”—that amazed them both: ten years of practice data clearly show that unvaccinated and partially vaccinated children have a dramatically lower risk of autism compared to children vaccinated according to the CDC schedule.

“Real-world” findings

Up until the mid-2000s, Dr. Thomas administered vaccines in lockstep with the CDC schedule. However, when he witnessed previously healthy one-year-old patients regressing into severe autism for four years running, he started questioning this approach. After delving into published research never mentioned in medical school, Dr. Thomas developed the slower and more selective vaccine schedule described in his book. For the past ten years, his practice has put parents in the driver’s seat of making vaccine decisions, offering them a full discussion of vaccine benefits and risks—including the risks of neurotoxic vaccine ingredients such as aluminum—as well as providing detailed advice about how to support a well-balanced immune system. Dr. Thomas reports that while the majority of families in his practice vaccinate, “almost none of them follow the CDC schedule.”

The independent consultant identified a total of 3,344 pediatric patients born into the practice over the ten-year period, including 715 unvaccinated children and 2,629 partially vaccinated children. The medical records showed that the latter received about three to six times fewer vaccines (7 to 18 shots) than same-age children vaccinated according to the CDC schedule (25 to 40 shots).

… if California followed the modified vaccine schedule, it would spare about 9,000 cases of autism annually. At a national level, the slower schedule would prevent about 90,000 cases of autism annually.

Sunshine Week: How area towns, cities stack up on access to executive session records

As part of the Telegram & Gazette’s Sunshine Week coverage focused on access to public documents, the newspaper took a look at access to executive session minutes that cities, towns and school departments had already ordered released.

Once disclosure no longer defeats the purpose of an executive session, minutes and other records from the session must be disclosed unless they fall within an exemption to the Public Records Law, or the attorney-client privilege applies.

The state Open Meeting Law requires that existing executive session minutes be made available within 10 days of a request, whether they have been approved or remain in draft form.

The newspaper asked about a dozen cities, towns and school departments for their released executive session minutes from 2017 to 2018.

Experiences ran the gamut. A limited number of municipalities already posted the minutes on their websites. Others allowed a reporter to look at the minutes while at the counter. Others told us to make a formal records request, activating the 10-day timeline.

Gardner posts its City Council-approved executive session minutes to its website, but the most recent was from a December 2017 session.

In an interview, Gardner City Clerk Alan L. Agnelli said he had the sense there are other executive session minutes that the city could release, but it’s the council’s final call. Mr. Agnelli said he intends to meet with Council President Scott J. Graves to discuss the matter.

With big rezoning and other consuming matters, it was busy last year for Gardner, and the council president was relatively new to his role. In light of those factors, getting caught up on the release of executive session minutes might not have been a priority, the clerk suggested.

But before meeting with the Gardner council president, Mr. Agnelli said he first would like to call the state to get a few questions answered about timelines, and whether certain members might need to recuse themselves from approving the minutes.

“I suppose you would have to have a meeting of the council and bring the lawyer in to explain what’s been resolved, and what hasn’t, in order to know what has to be redacted and what can be released at this point in time, in the status of a particular piece of litigation before you,” the Gardner clerk said.

He chuckled about the irony of potentially needing to call an executive session to review the status of executive session minutes.

Lawyer Jeffrey J. Pyle, a partner with Prince Lobel Tye in Boston, which advises media on First Amendment issues, suggested cities and towns often sit on executive session minutes and may not put a high priority on periodically reviewing those minutes as a matter of course.

There’s the tendency for cities and towns to not “really move to release executive session minutes until there’s a request for them,” Mr. Pyle said.

Cherry Valley ‘watchdog’ seeks answers on district’s high water bills

Cherry Valley ‘watchdog’ seeks answers on district’s high water bills

 

By Mark Sullivan Telegram & Gazette Staff

Posted Mar 16, 2019 at 7:58 PM

LEICESTER — The Cherry Valley & Rochdale Water District charges some of the highest water rates in the state: $143 a month per 1,000 cubic feet (roughly 7,500 gallons), or $95 more than the state median of $48.

Margaret Biscornet Darling, who is among the district’s 1,200 ratepayers, wants to know why.
“We want a full accounting of where our money has gone and why they have never looked at ways to lower the rate,” says Mrs. Darling, an administrator of the Cherry Valley/Rochdale Water/Sewer Users group page on Facebook, which had 77 members this past Wednesday.

People are having trouble paying their water bills, she said. “Oh, my God, yeah,” she said. “They’re close to foreclosure.” She said as many as 120 customers — one-tenth of the district’s ratepayers — were slated to have their water shut off starting March 15. Twenty-eight homes had liens placed on them this past May for unpaid water bills, she said.

Local officials say they’re trying to meet the challenge of rising costs of providing water and sewer services in a town that has eight separate water and sewer districts, vestiges of an era before subdivisions and modern environmental regulations when Central Massachusetts villages pumped from ponds for relatively small numbers of neighborhood subscribers.

The Cherry Valley & Rochdale Water District recently struck a 20-year agreement to purchase water from Worcester, which led to a significant increase in operating costs, with only 1,200 ratepayers to share them, said Kevin Bergin, chairman of the district’s three-member commission. “As a very small district, any increase in costs is disproportionately expensive and results in higher-than-state-average water rates,” Mr. Bergin said.

Steph Trainor said she and her husband and four children share a 1,600-square-foot Cape with one bathroom. She said their monthly water bill is between $250 and $275.

“We have lived in town for 10 years, but the past few years have been extremely hard as we have struggled to pay the high water rates,” Ms. Trainor said this past Tuesday. “Last year, because of a past due balance, a tax lien was placed upon our home. Since we pay our taxes through our mortgage, our mortgage went up about $270 per month. Now we are in jeopardy of losing our home.

“We also have a current balance and are scheduled to be shut off on Friday, along with 113 other households,” she said. “We use as little water as possible. My husband, children and I all take (five-minute) timed showers.”

Mysti Green said when her family moved from Worcester to Cherry Valley two years ago they received a water bill for more than $250. “At first we thought it was a quarterly bill, a bit higher but maybe manageable,” she said. “But each month we keep getting another bill.

“It affects everything when you’re just making ends meet,” she said. “You don’t have money for anything extra. You need to budget every dollar. The water is just clearly not affordable to the low-income or blue-collar worker. We pay the (same) taxes as the rest of town, and utilities are not equal.

“We were interested in doing something and then Margaret put a note in our mailbox,” Ms. Green said. “So we joined our neighbors. Margaret is a little bit of a watchdog. Margaret and some others are just trying help our neighbors and design a better long-term solution that is affordable to everyone.”
