School district ad- dresses fentanyl issue
GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is working with the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) and other agencies to edu- cate and safeguard students at its schools from the danger of fentanyl and other types of drug use and abuse. UCDSB trustees received a staff report during their March 8 meeting outlining district response to the recent police and public health service alerts on the rising popularity of fentanyl by drug addicts and those who are new to drug culture. District staff are meeting with school support teams, to review strategies which promote healthy lifestyle choices for students, thus reducing the chance of high-risk behaviours that might lead to substance use.This includes educating students about the risk of drug and alcohol use, providing counselling specific to fentanyl, and also providing information hand- outs for students and parents about fentanyl, to increase overall community awareness of the drug. – Gregg Chamberlain
flooding of The Nation River. Residents should consult their munici- pal website for notices of which roads in their areas are still closed due to flooding. They are also advised to avoid going close to any shorelines during the current high water situation and to make sure that their children and pets are kept away from fast- running streams. Homeowners with sump pump systems for their dwellings should also check tomake sure those pumps are in good condition and working. The current flood situation is due to heavy spring rains and winter snowmelting, caus- ing a rapid rise in stream levels everywhere. The ground has also become saturated and slow to absorb more water, adding to the heavier runoff situation.
iTunes scam surfaces The OPP issued a warning for music lovers who like to download their favourite songs, to beware of an iTunes gift card scam. The con artist sends notices demanding payment for iTunes gift card purchases, and in most cases either threatens to report the victim to police or, in one case, will pretend to be a Canada Revenue agent claiming the victim owes “back taxes” on purchases. The scammer will also tell the victim to buy and activate iTune cards and then provide the activation codes as a form of payment to avoid further charges. A variation of the scam has the con artist pretending to be a grandchild or other relative in trouble, and asking for payment by iTunes cards as the method to provide either bail or payments for legal or medical fees. – Gregg Chamberlain
This spring is proving a wet one for Eastern Ontario with flood warnings throughout the region. Theministry of Natural Resources issued a FloodWatch last week, from its Kemptville district office, for the northeastern reaches of the Ottawa River region. That includes Clarence-Rockland, Hawkesbury, Cham- plain and East Hawkesbury townships. But residents in the village of Casselman, The NationMunicipality, and Russell Township, as well as the rural areas of Ottawa should also be alert. Several roads in almost every community have experienced flooding. County road 9 near the Séguin Bridge was closed on the St-Isidore village side, because of serious
