Health Unit happy with Casselman
FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) recently announced that it was pleased by the by-law adopted by Casselman earlier this year that prohibits the use of all tobacco products and electronic cigarette devices onmunicipal property, including municipal buildings, facilities, and parks or recreational areas. “We had received several complaints by residents,” explained Casselman Mayor Conrad Lamadeleine. “With the restriction in place, it seems that everything has fallen into place. It made sense to implement such a by-law.” The by-law means smoking is no longer allowed at the J.R. Brisson Complex and the Paul-Émile-Lévesque Centre, with the exception of two designated smoking areas outside of the buildings. “The EOHU fully supports Casselman’s decision as smoking should not be allowed in facilities that promote physical activity and healthy living,” expressed the Health Unit in a press release. “Casselman’s new by-law ensures that members of the community don’t have to deal with second-hand smoke when they’re participating in activities at the village’s facilities,” stated Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health at the EOHU. “I congratulate council on their proactive approach to protecting the health of our residents.” Second-hand smoke has been linked to serious health problems such as cancer,

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and cardiovascular diseases. Second-hand smoke is especially harmful
to young children because they are smaller, have a higher breathing frequency, and their lungs continue to develop. In addition,
children tend to imitate the behaviour of adults in their surroundings, which could make them start smoking later on in life.

Les contribuables canadiens dans la mire des fraudeurs
La GRC et l’Agence du revenu du Canada (ARC) font de nouveau unemise en garde à propos de la fraude qui cible des contri- buables, car elle continue de faire des vic- times pratiquement chaque jour au pays. Des fraudeurs agressifs se font passer pour des employés de l’ARC et exigent des renseignements personnels ou un paie- ment pour de faux frais ou des impôts non payés. Ils menaceront de vous arrêter, ou pire encore, si vous ne payez pas immé-
diatement les frais exigés. Les fraudeurs modifient aussi leur formule dans l’espoir d’escroquer d’autres Canadiens. Dans la dernière variante, les fraudeurs demandent aux victimes de les payer aumoyen de cartes iTunes. La GRC et l’ARC rappellent aux Cana- diens de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour veiller à ce que leurs renseignements personnels demeurent confidentiels et éviter d’être floués par ces fraudeurs. Avant de prendre quelque mesure que ce soit, les contribuables doivent toujours vérifier leur compte fiscal en consultant leur dossier sur le portail sécurisé de l’ARC ou en communiquant avec l’ARC au 1-800-
959-7383. Si vous pensez être victime de fraude ou avoir donné vos renseignements personnels ou financiers par erreur, communiquez avec le service de police local et votre institution financière. Le Centre antifraude du Canada (CAFC) – un partenariat entre la GRC, le Bureau de la concurrence et la Police provinciale de l’Ontario – est le dépôt central des données, des renseignements et de la documenta- tion sur la fraude par marketing de masse au Canada. On encourage les victimes à signaler les fraudes au CAFC en ligne ou par téléphone en composant le 1-888-495-8501 (sans frais).

Summer car care for pets During the hot summer months, the police often get calls about pets left shut up in vehicles. The OPP urge pet owners to make sure not to leave their pets alone inside a vehicle for long periods of time during hot weather or they may die from either heat exhaustion or heat stroke, even if the vehicle is parked in shade, the windows cracked open, and a bowl of water left inside. Leaving the air conditioning on is not a solution as a faulty AC system can also put a pet at risk. Dogs and cats both pant to cool themselves and also release heat through their paws. The upholstery and the air inside a car, both very hot during the summer, make it impossible for pets to cool themselves. Signs of heatstroke for a pet include: exaggerated panting or if panting stops altogether, rapid or erratic pulse, excessive drooling, an anxious or staring expression, weakness and muscle tremor, lack of coordination, red lips and tongue with both turning bluish at some point, convulsions, vomiting. Extreme heatstroke puts the pet into a coma and leads to death. Leave pets safe at home rather than take them shopping. – Gregg Chamberlain
