Anton Borst from Halarda Farms of Elm Creek has been milking cows since he was 12. His family moved to the area from Holland in 1984, and his parents brought what they knew to Canada: dairy farming. Back then, they had a milking par- lor for 100 cows. Borst and his fam- ily would clean the cow’s udder, then manually attach the milking units, and the milk would fl ow. Today, Halarda Farms milks 1,250 cows — all with the help of robots. “The milking part is one of the more manual repetitive jobs that there is on the dairy farm,” said Borst. “So, having Anton Borst of Halarda Farms robots to do that…it’s made it more immigrated to Canada in 1984 possible to manage more cows with from Holland and has been a less people.” STANDARD PHOTOS SUBMITTED The family built their fi rst barn with proud dairy farmer since arriving.

The WHO is using letters of the Greek alphabet to rename existing variants of the virus and future mutations that get designated either variants of concern (VOC) or variants of interest (VOI). Variants of concern and variants of interest are classed differently depending on how they behave. A VOC affects diagnostics, treatments and vac- cines. It shows a decreased susceptibility to thera- pies and signifi cantly decreased neutralization by antibodies. It also shows evidence of increased transmissibility and disease severity and reduced vaccine-induced protection from severe disease, ac- cording to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A VOI, on the other hand, has genetic markers which are predicted to affect transmis- sion, diagnostics, therapeutics or immunity. A VOI STANDARD SCREENSHOT WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION can have caused outbreak clusters but has limited The WHO renamed COVID variants of concern (shown here) and variants of interest to avoid prevalence. stigmatizing countries where they were fi rst detected.

In 2020, Carman Dufferin CIB made an application to CAF to make three dog parking and three bicycle parking stands. The idea came after a member had seen the structures in other cit- ies and thought they’d be a great ad- dition to the community. They were approved, received $3,500, and got to work instantly. So, there are now three bike stands around Carman, all locations courtesy of Carman Dufferin Recreation rec- ommendations. One is by the splash pad in King’s Park, one by Boyne Re- gional Library, and the other is at the Family & Friends Playground on 5th Street. The three dog parking stands, also thanks to Carman Dufferin Recre- ation consultations, are by the splash pad in King’s Park, Ryall Park, and in the rain shelter by the swimming pool. “It’s all part of beautifi cation in our STANDARD PHOTOS BY BECCA MYSKIW community,” said Susan Mooney, Robyn Lodwick and three-year-old (Left to right) Emily Dunn, Kate Dunn, and Anna Dunn are from the co-chair of Carman Dufferin CIB.
