Doctors were baffled and it wasn't until after she died that the new virus was detected. She was a census taker for the southern state of Oaxaca. When the story first broke we were told it doesn't affect the very young or older population but now we learn that the first confirmed case was a four year old in Mexico who was lucky to survive the ordeal. The first U.S. death was a 23 month old baby boy visiting with his parents from Mexico. This mutation appearently contains three components including the swine flue, avian and also a human element which is unusual but probably why it spreads so fast. Experts say the drug Tamiflu and Relenza seem to be effective against the virus but it may take up to six months to develop a specific vaccine for this outbreak which has already spread around the globe even as far away as New Zealand, The U.S. declared a public health emergency Sunday to deal with the emerging new swine flu. In Mexico 81 people have died and possibly hundreds more have been infected because of an outbreak of swine flu. Grist Magazine just found a source that may link the swine flu epidemic to Smithfield Foods hog operation in Perote, Mexico in the state of Veracruz. The Spanish flu, which circled the world in 1918 and 1919 and killed at least 50 million people, was of the same general subtype (H1N1) as the virus in Mexico , , , , , , , , , Come to the Maple Syrup Festival Saturday April 25 in Powassan , , , , , , , , , NBTV is a public access broadcasting station , , , , , , , , , Councilor Mike Anthony says North Bay is doing a new commercial study to see what types of businesss the city should encourage.

Many Canadians were shocked by Miss Finley's comments which show no respect or concern for the hundreds of thousands of unemployed in Canada who, through no fault of there own, find themselves out of work and without any income during these harsh economic times. Over 350,000 jobs have been lost in Canada since October of last year. It must be a great embarrassment to our politicians and surely a testiment to the failed policies of our present government. , , , , , , , CRTC announces that a local programming fund will be available for cable networks to improve local TV programming.

Would Canadians be better served if all elected members ran as independents like John Nunziata or Chuck Cadman?

This was a message from the management of NBTV- Here is a little bit of history for you now. Did you know that in the early 1900"s there was a silver smelter in operation on the shore of Trout Lake? The foundation is still visible at Delaney Bay. In some cases lead was mixed with silver to help remove silver from the ore. Sometimes mercury and aluminum sulfate flux's were also used in the smelting process. Very little is known about the smelting process used in the Trout Lake operation. Today Trout Lake is the main source of drinking water for North Bay. Another fact of history you may find interesting is sitting on a pedistal in Lee Park. The CF-100 fighter was a formidable aircraft of it's time but few people know it was developed by the Avro Arrow Corporation and the CF-100 was the for-runner to the sleek and powerful "Avro Arrow" which was mysteriously scrapped by the Defenbaker government in 1959. The Avro Arrow CF-105 was intended to reach speeds of Mach 2 and altitudes of 50,000 feet or higher. , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Click on any of the links that follow in this scrolling marquee - Click Here >>> Local Weather - Career Opportunities - Submit Videos, , , , , , , ,NBTV is listed number one on Google.ca when you use Google to lookup NBTV and our surrigate station newnorthbay.com is listed number one on Yahoo.ca.
