Looking back on 41 years

WALKING THE BEAT WITH THE CHIEF

CHIEF DANNY AIKMAN

By now most Seaway News readers know that I’ve announced my retirement after 41 years with the Cornwall Police Service and this will be my final column. Thank you to Nick Seebruch and Rick Shaver for the opportunity to keep the community current with matters of community safety for the past 3 years.

Deciding to retire was much more difficult than I ever imagined it would be but I knew when I accepted the position in 2018 that my tenure as Chief would be a transitional one,

bridging generations of police leaders.

Serving as Chief of Police during a historic pandemic has not been easy but I’m very proud of every member of the Cornwall Police Service who’ve adapted and performed exceptionally in the most trying of conditions.

I am tremendously proud that the Cornwall Police Services Board has named Deputy Chief Shawna Spowart as my successor. I hired Shawna in 1995 and have witnessed her growth into a police leader first hand. Shawna has all the qualities to be a tremendous Chief of Police and will serve our community well.

In 1981 I joined the then Cornwall Police Force as a baby faced 21-year-old looking for a career that would not only be interesting but would also provide stability for my young family.

The past 40 plus years have been everything I could have hoped for in a career.

Policing Cornwall has changed dramatically over the span of my career. In those early days I walked foot beats in downtown Cornwall and

along Montreal Rd. Bar fights were a frequent occurrence in those early days and one’s competence as a police officer was judged by some as to how you handled yourself in those dicey situations.

Times have changed as community policing strategies saw police engaging the community at a different level in order to reduce the impact of crime. In the early 1990’s I had the good fortune of teaching at the Ontario Police College for 2 years and this experience broadened my knowledge and understanding of emerging changes in policing. I was able to bring many of those lessons back to CPS, finding a niche in training our members on the leading edge of a different era of policing. The time and energy I invested in continuing education and learning paid off as I progressed in my career.

Throughout my career I’ve had the honour of working with more than 300 current and former dedicated police professionals of the Cornwall

Police Service. Names from the past include Stuart MacDonald, Rick Trew, Cecil Runions, Stan Willis, D’Arcy Dupuis, Bob Burnie, Garry Derochie, Rolly Lefebvre and Diane Gibeau who were not only mentors, but friends whom I will forever remember fondly. There are so many others I would love to list but I’d worry about omitting someone deserving of mention.

My predecessors as Chief of Police include Earl Landry, Claude Shaver, Carl Johston, Tony Repa and Dan Parkinson. All played a role in shaping my career as a police leader and I thank them for laying the foundation upon which my career grew. Similarly, I thank the numerous members of the Cornwall Police Service Board for their support and trust over the past 17 years Thank you to my hometown of Cornwall for providing me this wonderful opportunity to serve for this long. I look forward to what the future holds for our community in the coming years.

New Colts GM outlines goals for team nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – On Tuesday, Aug. 3, the Cornwall Colts hockey team announced that they had hired Ian Henderson as their new General Manager.

Henderson, a veteran manager of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) previously served seven years with the Hawkebury Hawks, three years with Kanata, and was with the Nepean Raiders last year. Henderson was the General Manager of the year for the 20152016 season.

The Avonmore native said that his first order of business for the Colts will be to review the roster and fill in any gaps that he finds.

“There is good young talent in Cornwall and I love the philosophy of looking local,” Henderson said.

He said that as always, the goal for the team is to make the playoffs, but that he also wants to grow attendance for Colts home games.

“We have plants to attract more fans,” he said. “We are going to make this an exciting place to watch hockey,” he added, stating that he himself used to love coming to see the

5 facts about heat-related illnesses

As heat waves become increasingly common during the summer, the risk of developing a heat-related illness becomes more likely. Here are five things you should know about conditions such as heatstroke and heat exhaustion.

1. They can present in numerous ways. Symptoms of heat-related illnesses include dizziness, fainting, headache, fatigue, flushed or clammy skin, muscle cramps, confusion, heat rash and an elevated body temperature.

2. Older adults are at a higher risk. A loss of mobility can make it difficult for seniors to stay hydrated. Plus, the sensation of thirst decreases with age. Older adults who live alone are particularly vulnerable.

3. Some medications reduce heat tolerance.

These include medications for high blood pressure, Parkinson’s disease, allergies and certain heart conditions. Always ask your pharmacist about the side effects of your medications.

4. Extreme heat can aggravate chronic conditions. Conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, lung disease and diabetes decrease your body’s ability to adapt to changes in temperature.

5. There are ways to reduce the risks. During

Cornwall Royals or the Cornwall Aces play at the Civic Complex’s Ed Lumley Arena.

Henderson explained that his management style focuses on hard work and people who contribute positively to the team environment.

“I look for good people who help make a good team environment which I believe helps to foster a winning culture,” he said. “I like hard working teams with guys who put in the time and put in the work.”

Henderson added that as a native of the region, he is happy to be back in Cornwall and New Cornwall Colts General Manager Ian is excited to get to work.

IT’S A FACT! EMMA MELDRUM CITY OF CORNWALL

Thank you for emailing, messaging, calling, and reaching out to draw our attention to something that isn’t right. When you call Municipal Works to tell us about a pothole, email City Hall to request a document, or send us a Facebook message about a downed tree branch on City property, we can jump into action.

When you post to your personal Facebook page, add a photo to your Instagram story, or tell your neighbour – well, there’s not as much

we can do.

Direct communication is always best: 613930-2787 or feedback@cornwall.ca.

For the record: I love non-complaint emails too! Suggestions, opinions, questions are all welcome. One of the best parts of my job is public engagement. Asking Cornwall residents specific questions, understanding why they hold a position, exploring the impacts of a decision – when we engage well, we walk away with the ability to make better-informed choices.

On Thursday, August 12, the City of Cornwall is hosting its first town hall meeting under our new procedural by-law. We’re seeking feedback about wards – whether they would benefit our community, how they would affect you, whether residents prefer the current system.

It may be too late once you’re reading this to register to attend. If you happen to open the Seaway News on August 11, head to www.

South Stormont receives funding for new fire truck pumper NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

SOUTH STORMONT, Ontario – The Township of South Stormont has received provincial funding for a new fire truck pumper in the amount of $559,350. “The Township of South Stormont is thrilled that the province and Township can come together on this project to continue to support the needs and safety of our communities,” said of Stormont Stormont Mayor Bryan McGillis. With this loan, the Township will be able to purchase a 2020 Freightliner 108SD

or have your say online. Reach out to a councillor if you have questions or opinions.

I hope that those who feel strongly about wards, whether they’re for or against, will speak

out now, ahead of a motion from council.

There will be months, years, decades to comment on whatever council decides.

But the most effective time to speak is now.

We're excited to welcome everyone back to school in September.

which can pump 5,000 litres of water a minute and hold 1,000 imperial gallons and 25 imperial gallons of foam. The loan was approved through the province’s Infrastructure Ontario (IO) Loan Program. “It is very important and beneficial that municipalities have access to the IO in order to undertake crucial upgrades to their municipalities,” said Jim McDonell, MPP for Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry. ”I would like to congratulate South Stormont Mayor Bryan McGills, council and staff for securing this important loan.”

If youth are our future then the future is bright NICK SEEBRUCH

6 - Wednesday, August 11, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

This week’s special pages in Seaway News are celebrating the youth of our community. Since youth are our future, I can tell you that here in Cornwall and the surrounding community, we are in very good hands.

From this past year alone, we have seen many young faces in the community step-up, offer their support, and contribute.

To start, youth have been at the forefront for raising awareness of a few recent issues in the community. The protest in Cornwall in the wake of George Floyd’s death was led by two young women of colour, Bethany Brown and Annissa Mohammed.

More recently, another youth active in our community, Osama Chaudhry helped lead a virtual vigil in Cornwall in honour of the Muslim family who were killed this summer in London, ON in a terrorist attack.

I think Osama Chaudhry and his siblings Haleema and Hafsa have been community leaders for awhile now, having organized fundraisers at their schools to help fight childhood cancer, and last year they made and donated

facemasks to those who needed them.

There are far more young people in this community who have gone above and beyond to make a positive impact.

Every year YourTV Cornwall does their part to recognize overachieving young citizens in Cornwall with their Youth Achievement Awards. Every year YourTV awards local youth for things like showing kindness and making a difference.

The aforementioned Haleema Chaudhry was one local youth who was recognized as a “Difference Maker” this year.

These awards are presented in partnership with the Optimist Club of Cornwall, which has a youth affiliate where local young people can get an early start in community volunteering.

In the world of academia, we also have bright young stars. One that immediately comes to mind is Affaan Ali. The recent St. Lawrence Secondary School (SLSS) graduate won a $80,000 Schulich Leader Scholarship which will go to cover his expenses at the University of Ottawa.

Ali distinguished himself as a student at SLSS, being on the honour roll every year since Grade 9 and finishing high school with a class average of about 98.5 per cent. He also served on student council, in the school band, and

begin a tutoring business where he shared his knowledge with his peers.

Local youth are well represented in student government in both the public and Catholic school boards.

Tagwi Secondary School Student Jordan Evans served as one of the student trustees this year for the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) and both Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) student trustees are local youth. One is Kennah Delage of St. Joseph’s Catholic Secondary School, and the other is Julia Vo of Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School. I hope that all of these students excel in their post-secondary studies and return to become pillars of their community.

Cornwall has great services to help support youth including the Youth

Services Hub, and the City’s own Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre, which runs a Summer Company program for students each year.

Starting a business is hard in any year, and can be a challenge for even a seasoned entrepreneur, but this year’s Summer Company program saw six young business professionals take on that very challenge and in a pandemic no less.

This week, Seaway News is celebrating youth, and we have many young people in our community of whom we can be proud.

Do you know a youth who’s done something exceptional this year?

Email us a Letter to the Editor to tell us about them to nseebruch@seawaynews.media

and grocery stores. Regardless of where we went, there was no mandatory mask regulation, only a ‘recommended’ mask requirement. My wife and I carried our mask with us at all times but we were never asked to wear it. It was really nice not being required to wear a mask but it initially made us nervous not wearing it. We got a dose of reality when we returned home as it was a requirement on the plane, in the Ottawa airport and in the bus to our parked car.

A comparison of the two provinces: on August 4, B.C. reported 342 new covid cases compared to 139 in

Ontario. The population of Ontario is 14.5 million and B.C. is 5 million. The other daily data is consistent with the August 4 comparison.

In my opinion, this data demonstrates that wearing masks in areas that are identified by our province and the EOHU greatly reduces the risk of contracting COVID-19.

It is a minor inconvenience to wear masks, but they are for your protection and the protection of others.

My email is ggrant@cornwall.ca – I hope to hear from you.

In mid-July, I had the opportunity to visit my daughter in British Columbia.

During the period of time we were in the Ottawa airport, on the four hour flight and in the Vancouver airport, masks were mandatory. However, after we picked up our luggage and left the Vancouver airport masks were almost non-existent. Whether it was the Uber ride to the ferry or the ferry ride to Salt Spring Island, we saw very few people wearing masks.

OPINION

Stolen strong box had list of informants Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

One would be hard pressed to find a more problematic period for the local Royal Canadian Mounted Police detachment than in August 1971.

Three months earlier the Long Sault detachment, attached to the corporal’s home, was broken into. Evidence to be used in an upcoming drug trial was stolen. As a result, without the evidence the charges were tossed.

What the Mounties didn’t say at the time was that a strong box containing the names of local drug informants also went missing in the break-in. The list included names of the local informants (one said to be 15 years old), payments ($10 to $50) made to each informant and the information they supplied the RCMP drug unit.

The proverbial manure hit the fan when an MPP stood up in the Ontario Legislature in August and took the covers off the break-in ... and what was stolen.

New Democrat Party member Dr. Morton Shulman said a “Mr. C” had offered to give him the stolen documents in return for immunity and $25,000.

Shulman said “Mr. C” told him the strong box was not the target of the break-in; it was just “picked up on the way out.” When the box was pried open the informants’ list was “a surprise” and soon realized it was a hot potato.

The Toronto Star and Globe and Mail said somebody had offered to sell them the strong box contents. They refused the offer.

It quickly became a national story with the Toronto Star claiming that one of the paid informants was a 15-year-old Cornwall high school student who received a total of $305 over 18 months. The newspaper said another informant was a U.S. border guard who was paid $400 a month.

The father of the 15-year-old told the Standard-Freeholder he feared for his son’s safety. The parents of another teen-ager blamed the police for recruiting teen-age informants.

At first, Federal Solicitor-General Jean Pierre Goyer and the RCMP downplayed the theft, saying it was not a “major event.”

As for the security breach at the detachment, Goyer said, with a straight face, that it would cost too much to provide every RCMP detachment in the country with round-theclock security.

However, after the break-in, Fort Knox kind of security was implemented.

Despite an extensive investigation, the identity of “Mr. C” was never uncovered. The break-in was never solved. *********** A city resident and his wife took the long way to the Akwesasne Casino but it paid off.

With border-crossing restrictions in the way of driving from Cornwall to the Akwesasne casino, the couple came up with a unique end-run.

They took a flight to Boston from Montreal.

For the trip home, they got on a Cape Air flight

in Boston and flew to Massena where their car was waiting for them for the ride to the casino and home.

Worth it all?

You bet. The husband won $13,000. *********** Retired St. Lawrence College prof Art Buckland tells us he worked at Parisien Beverages (Pitt and Eighth streets) in 1952 for 50 cents an hour. The plant bottled Pepsi, Wishing Well Orange and John Collins soda.

The plant later moved to the west end before closing up shop.

Art said employees were allowed three free bottles of pop per shift. Said Art, “You could tell the long-term guys, they didn’t have any teeth.” He said a foreman could carry two 100-pound bags of sugar from a transport into the plant.

International Youth Day History International Youth Day seeks to raise awareness about the cultural and legal issues faced by youth throughout the world. The United Nations defines youth as people between the ages of 15 and 24 years, although locally, youth can be interpreted in a more flexible manner. In 1995, the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) adopted the World

Programme of Action for Youth with the intention of establishing guidelines and policies for action and support that would lead to a brighter future for tomorrow’s youth. Since its inception on August 12, 2000, International Youth Day has served to increase the quality and quantity of opportunities available to the youth to actively participate in society.

Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Cornwall wants to MPower youth BIGS BLOG KELSEY JEAUROND BIG BROTHERS/BIG SISTERS

Hello again, Cornwall! We hope that you are having a great and safe summer and you getting to enjoy time in our community. We have

had a lot going on this summer, starting with our successful Annual Golf tournament that was able to raise over $18,000 to go towards our youth based programs.

Speaking of our youth-based programs – we have a brand new program that we have just introduced to the public and we are beyond excited about it. We are pleased to announce that we will now be offering a program called MPower which is a youth-led program from youth aged 15-21. It will run similarly to our 1-to-1 programming as a youth will be matched with a volunteer with the difference being that

this program is designed to help the youth identify their strengths, passions, and help them achieve their goals as they journey towards adulthood.

Our volunteers will help our MPower youth learn the essential skills like resume writing, making appointments, learning community programs and agencies, learning to cook, really just connections and skills that will create a successful transition to an independent adulthood. We are so excited to get this program up and running, with that being said we are in search of volunteers who would be

interested in helping us begin and spearhead this amazing new program.

Along with this if you are a youth or know a youth who may benefit from this program please reach out so we can get started. If you are interested in becoming a mentor for this or any of our other mentoring programs please email our Caseworker – Kelsey Jeaurond at kelsey.jeaurond@bigbrothersbigsisters.ca or call the office at 613-933-8035 and we will help you get started – there’s no better time to start giving back then now.

waterways.

Blacksmith is originally from Waswanipi, a Cree community in northern Quebec. Since moving to Ottawa to take Environmental Studies, she’s been inspired to do her part for the environment by picking up plastic in wetlands and waterways. She shares what she finds on Instagram to tell the story of plastic pollution in Canada.

“Where I’m from in northern Quebec, it’s hard not to use plastic,” says Blacksmith.

“But there’s no choice. We have to rely on what’s available in the store.”

“The goal of my photography is to push corporations to stop using plastic altogether,” she says. “We’re inspired by leaders like Traci who use their voice to defend our water and our wetlands,” says Mariane Bolla, DUC’s head of national education. “The message is that much stronger when it comes from young people.”

DUC’s Wetland Hero program celebrates young people (under 25 years of age) who make a difference by taking action to

CORNWALL, Ontario - Cornwall’s Summer Playground Program had an environmental focus last week in advance of the first ever Eco Day which took place on Saturday, Aug. 7.

On Thursday, Aug. 5, the Summer Playground team put together a series of activities for their young participants to teach them about bees, wasps, and how to plant wildflowers.

Katherine Wells, the City of Cornwall’s Strategic Planning Coordinator said that the kids asked interesting questions about the environment, like if

Today’s youth: resilient and resourceful International Youth Day, which takes place on August 12, is an initiative launched by the United Nations in 1999 to draw attention to the cultural and legal issues experienced by young people around the world. It’s also an opportunity to highlight their potential as key partners in society.

mental health.

Yet despite these circumstances, many young people have demonstrated their ability to be creative and resilient during hard times.

FIGHTING FOR A BETTER FUTURE Today’s youth are more informed than ever, and millions of them are mobilizing every day to fight for causes they care about, including environmental protection, gun control, access to education, gender equality and antiracism. In communities across the country, young people are raising their voice and taking action to make a difference.

This commitment to building a better future should be an inspiration to everyone.

THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC The COVID-19 crisis has significantly affected the daily lives of young people around the world. In many places, the restrictions implemented to limit the spread of the virus had a devastating impact on education. According to a report by the International Labour Organization, approximately two-thirds of young people claim they learned less since the start of the pandemic because of the shift from in-person to online learning.

In addition, the ongoing health crisis exacerbated existing inequalities experienced by many youths. Not all students have access to a computer, a reliable internet connection or a quiet place to concentrate at home. What’s more, nearly half of young people surveyed experienced deteriorating

all bees are yellow, and if they all drank nectar.

Several different sessions were held throughout the day on Thursday in five different public parks across the city.

Kids made bees out of crafting materials, and planted wildflower seeds in pots provided by Rona with seeds from Moise Feed and Seed.

Thursday’s event for kids was a part of the larger Eco Day initiative that took place on Saturday.

On Saturday, Angela Parker, Sustainability Project Coordinator with the City of Cornwall worked with a variety of environmental organizations to setup activities and information booths throughout the city to help promote living sustainably.

Activities included nature related trivia provided by the Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) at the pop-up shops by the Cornwall Square, tours of the arboretum in Lamoureux Park and more.

Parker mentioned there are hopes this will become an annual event with the online interactive map on the website remaining and updated.

Originally the event had been planned to coincide with Earth Day, usually held in April, but COVID-19 restrictions necessitated its being held in August.

HOROSCOPE

TAKE A

MOMENT

WEEK OF AUGUST 15 TO 21, 2021 ARIES: You might decide to plan an intriguing getaway. You need a vacation, and you’ll need to prepare for it well in ad­ vance to make it happen and ensure it’s an unforgettable expe­ rience.

TAURUS: Big projects always come with a bit of anxiety, but perseverance is the key to success. Don’t be afraid of change; it’s good for you. Your emotions will be running high, so remem­ ber to take a step back and calm down.

GEMINI: Before making a decision that affects several people, it’s important to consult them and get their consent. At work, you’ll likely reach a beneficial agreement after a long negotia­ tion process.

CANCER: It’s time to take care of yourself. By chan­ging some of your habits, you’ll have more energy and be able to share your love of life with others. However, some effort will be re­ quired to restore your health.

LEO: You’ll find yourself in the spotlight. You’ll take charge of a group or stand up for your community. You’ll prove to be an im­ portant figure to those around you, which will do wonders for your self-esteem.

VIRGO: If you have young children, you’ll be fo­cused on the back-to-school season. You might end up moving or make major chan­ges to your home. If you’re single, it’ll be love at first sight.

LIBRA: You won’t hold your tongue, and you’ll give voice to opinions that others are keeping to themselves. This will end up correcting an unpleasant situation. You’ll find solutions when faced with a preca­rious financial situation.

SCORPIO: Career-wise, there’s a good chance you’ll be courted by the competition. You’ll likely run around trying to help a family member. As for matters of the heart, someone close to you could make a declaration of love that leaves you stunned.

SAGITTARIUS: It’s time for a fresh start. A new job or a new direction in life is on the horizon. You’ll be excited about all the opportunities that come your way. In your love life, there won’t be a shortage of romance.

CAPRICORN: You’ll need a second cup of coffee before you start your workday. If you’re dealing with health issues, you’ll find the right treatment to give you the quality of life you desire.

Stress can be a source of energy at times.

AQUARIUS: You’ll have no choice but to confront the obsta­ cles in your path. You may have to negotiate with several peo­ ple at once, which could be stressful. You’ll develop new friendships and expand your social network.

PISCES: Either at work or elsewhere, things will feel urgent and like they needed to be done yesterday. A few people close to you will get you to take a step back. It’s a good idea to set a long-term goal for yourself or your relationship.

Province invests $100K in Cornwall tourism events will raise the profile of both Cornwall and the NICK SEEBRUCH CORNWALL, Ontario – The province of Ontario is making an over $100,000 investment in tourism attractions in the City of Cornwall.

Ontario Minister of Tourism Lisa MacLeod announced on Wednesday, Aug. 4 that Cornwall Tourism would be receiving $93,000 to help offset costs related to hosting the World Junior A Hockey Tournament this fall. The money was applied for by Cornwall Tourism who sit on the organizing committee for the event. “We’re grateful for the support and it will ensure that we are able to put on a world class event that

Reader says: Is anyone else concerned about the proliferation of mobility scooters and e bikes on the roads of Cornwall. Saturday I was heading west on 2nd Avenue and stopped at Sydney for a red light. An Ebike went by me on my right and just blew through the red light. There were cars parked along 2nd so he was in the road as I passed him only to hit another red at Pitt St. Again he pulled around me on my right and then using the crosswalk, crossed 2nd and proceeded down Pitt. While going in front of me at the red light he was busy shaking his head. My question is shouldn’t these vehicles be following all the same rules as the other vehicles on the road. Seems simple to me, drive on the road, obey the traffic laws.

Les résidents sont incités à prendre des précautions durant une période de grande chaleur COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LE BSEO

CORNWALL, Ontario - Le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) a émis un avertissement de chaleur et recommande aux résidents des cinq comtés de l’Est de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour prévenir les maladies reliées à la chaleur. Environnement et Changement climatique Canada prévoit des températures élevées qui débuteront le 8 août 2021 et devraient durer au moins deux jours.

Tout le monde court des risques pendant une période de chaleur; cependant, les risques pour la santé sont plus grands pour les personnes âgées, les bébés et les jeunes enfants, les personnes atteintes de maladies chroniques, les personnes qui travaillent à la chaleur, les personnes qui font de l’exercice à la chaleur, les sans-abris et les personnes à faible revenu.

Il est possible de prévenir les maladies reliées à la chaleur. Suivez les conseils suivants pour diminuer le risque de maladie reliée à la chaleur : -Boire beaucoup de liquides froids, surtout de l’eau, avant d’avoir soif pour diminuer le risque de se déshydrater. La soif n’est pas un bon indicateur de la déshydratation.

-Reporter à plus tard ou planifier les activités de plein air plus tard dans la journée quand le temps est plus frais.

-Porter des vêtements amples en tissu respirant et de couleur pâle. Vêtir les bébés et les jeunes enfants de vêtements très légers. Ne pas les envelopper d’une couverture ni de vêtements épais.

-Ne jamais laisser de personnes ou d’animaux de compagnie dont vous êtes responsable dans un véhicule stationné ou en plein soleil.

-S’éloigner de la chaleur en passant quelques heures dans un endroit frais, comme par exemple à l’ombre d’un arbre, dans un endroit climatisé, ou un site d’accueil climatisé.

-Prendre des douches ou des bains froids jusqu’à ce que vous soyez rafraîchi.

-Préparer des repas qui n’exigent pas d’être cuisinés au four.

-Bloquer le soleil en fermant les auvents, les rideaux ou les stores pendant le jour.

-Éviter de s’exposer au soleil. Se faire de l’ombre en portant un chapeau respirant à bord large ou à l’aide d’un parapluie.

-Limiter l’activité physique.

Il faut savoir que les enfants ne transpirent

pas autant que les adultes et sont donc plus vulnérables au stress de chaleur.

Demander au fournisseur de soins ou au pharmacien si les médicaments à prendre ou une maladie dont on est atteint peuvent augmenter les risques pour la santé en période de forte chaleur; suivre leurs recommandations.

Les maladies reliées à la chaleur incluent les coups de chaleur, l’épuisement et l’évanouissement causé par la chaleur, ou l’œdème (enflure des mains, pieds et chevilles), les boutons de chaleur et les crampes de chaleur (crampes musculaires). Surveillez les symptômes de la maladie reliée, lesquels incluent : l’étourdissement ou l’évanouissement, la nausée ou les vomissements, les maux de tête, la respiration et les battements de cœur accélérés, une soif extrême et la diminution de l’urination qui est d’un jaune foncé inhabituel. Devant l’apparition de l’un ou l’autre de ces symptômes en période de chaleur extrême, installez-vous immédiatement dans un endroit frais et buvez des liquides, préférablement de l’eau.

Le coup de chaleur constitue une urgence médicale. Appelez immédiatement le 911 si vous prenez soin d’une personne dont la température corporelle est élevée qui est soit

inconsciente, confuse ou qui ne transpire plus.

En attendant de l’aide, faites baisser immédiatement la température de la personne en l’amenant dans un endroit frais si possible, en appliquant de l’eau froide sur de grandes régions de peau ou sur les vêtements, et ventilez la personne le plus possible.

Le BSEO incite tout le monde à demeurer vigilant et prendre des précautions. N’oubliez pas de visiter souvent vos voisins, vos amis et les membres âgés de votre famille, surtout ceux qui souffrent de maladies chroniques, pour vous assurer qu’ils sont au frais et bien hydratés.

A safe haven for abandoned cats NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – Abandoned cats are a growing problem in the Cornwall and SD&G area. There are people who are seeing this problem firsthand and are trying to help.

Ela Nyvltova and her partner Dominic Guenette have dedicated their property and their lives to helping cats who have been hurt and abandoned.

They live on a large former farm in rural South Glengarry and have transformed their property into a haven for cats.

Dubbed the Cats of New Eden, Nyvltova has an enclosure on her property with nearly four dozen cats and this only represents about half of the cats that are in her care.

New Eden has an intake room where cats stay when they first arrive. All cats are vaccinated and spayed or neutered before entering the general population on the farm. Some cats that come into Nyvltova’s care suffer from chronic illness or injuries. There are currently four cats in her care that need to go to a veterinary clinic to have their issues treated, which include respiratory and vision problems. In the general enclosure, there are litter boxes with soil that all of the cats seem to use, so the enclosure itself is fairly clean and the litter boxes are cleaned regularly. Nyvltova explained that ensuring the cats lived in a space that was healthy and hygienic was a priority for her. The enclosure also has a trailer where the cats can sleep and shelter from the elements. The trailer is insulated and heated in the winter and in

She said that if she had the funding she would work to expand her operation to support more cats, as the need continues to grow.

Nyvltova is grateful for the support she’s received from Rosanne Morin of Cornwall who’s support has allowed her to help over 100 cats. She is also thankful to Joelle Panchyshyn who has helped her with her current project of building a second enclosure for the cats.

To support the work of Cats and Cakes of New Eden, please consider contributing to their GoFundMe page.
