While there are many Municipal projects and activities promoted inthe Shuniah News there are also additional projects that are beingdriven by the 2016-2020 Strategic Plan that haven’t appeared in theShuniah News. Here are a few highlighted projects that have beenidentified in some of the more recent Council Agenda and Minutes:• Funding for Summer Students – The Municipality was success-ful in receiving funding towards the hiring of four students for thesummer of 2018. The funding will help offset costs for the SummerDay Camp Program and for Field Technicians doing work for boththe Planning and Roads Department. You’ll see the Field Techs outon our roads, the CN railbed and in some high-density areas. Theyare collecting data on the condition and location of infrastructure inour community for a variety of projects including our Asset Man-agement Plan.

• Industrial Park Feasibility Study – We did tell residents about theplans to complete an industrial park feasibility study in theSept.2017 Shuniah News but it was dependant on funding fromNOHFC & FedNor. Since then the Municipality has been approvedup to $90,000 in combined funding to complete the study. An RFPwas awarded in October of last year and the Consultants will bepresenting a draft report to Council in the coming months.

React FAST: Stroke is a medical emergency and optimizing pre-hospital care improves patient outcomes

submitted by Blair Arthur, Fire Chief/CEMC, By-Law Enforcement Officer, Shuniah Fire & Emergency Services

It’s that time again. After 4 rewarding years on ShuniahCouncil I am once again respectfully asking for yoursupport in the upcoming Municipal Election in Shuniah. Over the last 4 years myself and my fellow councilmembers have worked to make Shuniah a stronger,more vibrant community fulfilling many initiatives infollowing our strategic plan.Moving ahead, there are many exciting issues and projectsto be worked on as we move our community forwardmaking Shuniah one of the premier communities in thearea to live, work, raise a family and enjoy life. Our tireless efforts to keep Mackenzie School openhave been received positively by the government as it isan integral part of our community development and ahub for Shuniah. Once again thank you for your past support and movingforward, I would like to continue my work as a councillor inMacgregor and would appreciate your support.

~ Don

React FAST: Stroke is a medicalemergency and optimizing pre-hospital care improves patientoutcomes. Calling 9-1-1 is the best way for aperson experiencing a stroke toreceive the most efficient care.77% of Canadians report thatcalling 9-1-1 is the first thing theywould do if someone is having astroke but according to research,this is not actually the case. InCanada, only 59% of people withstroke arrive at the hospital byambulance. What this means isthat 4 out of 10 Canadians expe-riencing a stroke are not calling 9-1-1. Coming to the hospital byambulance is the safest and mostbeneficial way for a person to ar-rive and receive stroke care in atimely manner. Stroke is a med-ical emergency!There are many reasons statedas to why a person does not call9-1-1. These include thinkingthey could deal with the situationon their own, not actually realiz-ing to call 9-1-1 when someone isexperiencing a stroke, not want-ing to cause a scene or just de-ciding to drive the personthemselves. In Ontario the pro-portion of people who experi-enced a stroke that arrived tohospital by ambulance is only69%. In Northwestern Ontario,only 49% of our population ar-rives at their local hospital by am-bulance, much lower than theprovince as a whole. Northwestern Ontario residentsneed to be aware of benefits of

calling 9-1-1 and the expertisethat paramedics bring to strokecare, especially during the criticalfirst hours. Paramedics aretrained to recognize the signs ofstroke and mobilize the patientquickly. They start the time sensi-tive management of stroke careincluding monitoring vital signsand blood glucose. Paramedicsalso know which hospitals arebest equipped to treat a stroke inour vast region. They speak tothe person experiencing a strokeand/or family members to deter-mine the time the person was lastknown to be well, any existinghealth conditions, current med-ications and allergies. A familymember is also encouraged toaccompany the stroke patient tothe hospital if further informationmay be needed. The Paramedicspre-alert the hospital that a strokepatient is on their way, which iscritical in activating the process ofstroke care. The Northwestern Ontario Re-gional Stroke Network recognizesthat enhancing the education ofthe Emergency Medical Systemproviders is vital to seamlessstroke care. The Network hasprovided in-person training to notonly the Paramedics in our regionbut has expanded the educationto the First Responder Teams.When called upon, First Re-sponse Teams can assist thesuspected stroke patients withsupport as they prepare to handoff to the Paramedics as they pro-ceed to timely life-saving serv-

ices. The First Response Teamsare a vital link between the sus-pected stroke patient and EMS. We want to promote the impor-tant message that calling 9-1-1for a suspected stroke helps toensure the best possible out-come.For more information, visit ourwebsite at www.nwostroke.caContact: Keli Cristofaro, StrokeCommunity Engagement Spe-cialist, Northwestern Ontario Re-gional Stroke Network atcristofk@tbh.net or 807-684-6468.

Reference: Heart and StrokeFoundation: Access to StrokeCare: The Critical First Hours,2015 Stroke Report

Stroke is a Medical Emergency!A stroke occurs when blood flowis interrupted to the brain. Thereare two types of stroke, ischemicor hemorrhagic. A transient is-chemic attack (TIA), sometimescalled a mini stroke is also con-sidered a medical emergency.Treatment is still needed FAST. The acronym FAST is a toolwhich makes recognizing strokeeasy to remember. Face – is itdrooping? Arms – can you raiseboth? Speech – is it slurred orjumbled? Time – call 911 rightaway. We need to be aware of benefitsof calling 9-1-1 and the expertisethat first responders and para-medics bring to stroke care. Theyare trained to recognize the signsof stroke and mobilize the patientquickly. Time sensitive manage-ment of stroke care includingmonitoring vital signs and bloodglucose are completed by para-medics. The paramedics deter-mine the time the person was lastknown to be well, any existinghealth conditions, etc. The para-medics pre-alert the hospitalwhich is critical in activating theprocess of stroke care. A strokecan be mild, moderate or severewhich is why FAST evaluationand treatment are needed. ActFAST - Time is brain.

June is Stroke Month. Learnthe Signs of Stroke.

In 2014, the Heart and StrokeFoundation launched a nationalcampaign promoting the acronymF.A.S.T. (Face, Arms, Speechand Time) as a simple way tohelp Canadians recognize thesigns of stroke and take immedi-ate life-saving action by calling911. Recent polling suggestsoverall awareness of the mainsigns of stroke in Ontario remainsslightly below the national average.Raising awareness of these signs– along with the urgent need tocall 9-1-1 or your local emer-gency number will reduce the im-pact of stroke. Act FAST because the quickeryou act, the more of the personyou save.

Research shows approximately44% of Canadians are unable toidentify any stroke symptoms.The acronym FAST is a toolwhich makes this easy to re-member. Face – is it drooping?Arms – can you raise both?Speech – is it slurred or jumbled?Time – call 911 right away. Do notdrive yourself or your loved onesto the hospital. Paramedics canget you there safely and quickly.The major focus here is time.Time is brain. Time plays a keyrole in getting treatment and re-covering from a stroke. On aver-age, 2 million brains cells(neurons) are lost for everyminute of delay in restoring bloodflow to the brain. The effects ofstroke will be different for eachperson. A stroke can be mild,moderate or severe which is whyFAST evaluation and treatmentare needed.

Fire numbers

by Blair Arthur, Fire Chief/CEMC,

By-Law EnforcementOfficer, Shuniah Fire &Emergency Services

Fire numbers were in-stalled on every prop-erty in the municipalitythat has a residence orbuilding on it. Since thattime, trees and scrubshave grown and peoplehave moved them offthe edge of the road notmarking the addresscorrectly.The location of the

sign is very importantand is primarily used byemergency services togive them clear direc-tion to your home in theevent of an emergency.Your fire number alsoprovides your approxi-mate location with outproviding the streetname, for instance a firenumber of 540 means 5km east of the munici-pality boundary. A goodtest of your own firenumber is to drive theroad and look to see if your number is visible.Fire Numbers are your

responsibility to main-tain and keep in the lo-cation that they wereplaced.

Child and Family Centre, McKenzie SiteWe have been very busy at our McKenzie Little Lions site. Now thatspring/summer has arrived we are trying to spend as much time outside aswe can. The children love to explore in the forest area, and we sometimeswalk over to visit the neighbour and his ducks and chickens. Last year wewere able to hatch 19 ducklings from his eggs, and this year we havechicken eggs in the incubator. We expect them to hatch the last week ofschool. On June 4th we planted our ‘Weed Out Hate’ flower garden in thefront of the school. We also have our vegetable garden in and the childrenhave been watering it almost daily. Take a look at the great space we havewhen you drive by the school. Little Lions Child and Family Centre is openyear round (except the two week closure at Christmas).

Coaches Corner by Dayna BernierFood for Thought

Don't skip the best meal of the day, and nope I am nottalking about breakfast. The best meal of the day is

naturally your post training meal. The recovery meal aftera workout is usually skipped because people think they areundoing all the hard work they just spent doing the work-out. And that cannot be further from the truth. Eatingapprox 10 to 15 grams protein and 20 to 25 grams of

carbs after training speeds the recovery process that wasbroken down. It helps with muscle repair, ramps up

energy and helps build a leaner body.

Earlier in the year, I was seeking Ag Ed tools forchildren. I was left feeling rather disoriented for avariety of reasons; but after some soul-search-ing, concluded that my enduring love of theHymers Fair is for the sense of community that itcultivates. (Pun intended!). To me, it is a top-notch celebration of the type of community thatvalues helping each other to succeed -- with a lit-tle competition thrown in to spice it up. Can it getany better than that?Maybe you are seeking a sense of community?

After all, we remain a deeply communal speciesin spite of Netflix and Facebook. July is the Hymers Ag Society's (HAS) month

for work bees and scheduling volunteers. Socome out and be part of the HAS community! The Dining Hall has several vacancies for

skilled and unskilled volunteers. A great way tobuild kitchen skills; and the best camaraderie onthe Fair Grounds! The Gazebo also needs peopleon Monday...a lovely place to be, I have heard. Did anyone have their kids come home with a

packet of seeds and a pamphlet about what kidscan work on over the summer to enter into the

Fair? Hope so! That was the work of Erin Lafor-est, volunteer extraordinaire for the Seeds forSchools Program! Please use! Before I finish, I have to say THANK YOU once

again to all who supported the June Music Nightfun-raiser (we are now half-way to our goal forbuilding additional shade for the small animals)featuring mind-blowing local talent: Larry andZoe Hogard, Jessica Durand, Taryn and NigelJackson, and the Dave Mark Five. These super-talented people donated their time, talent andequipment. Thanks to donors Jay's Automotive,Thunder Oak Cheese Farm, the Superstore,Randy Creighton, Country Clippers (WendyHandy), and numerous volunteers.AAAAANNNND, The Dave Mark Five can beseen again at the Hymers Fair!Ok, back to the garden.

A Very BusyMonth of May

Peter Tracz, Chairperson,Shuniah Soil Mates

I was contacted by DianeCouch, of the Thunder BayHorticultural Society, re-questing the Shuniah SoilMates to be part of their an-nual Garden Day Visits. Iagreed heartily. To have thisesteemed group visit ourSoil Mates Community Gar-dens will be with pride andpleasure. On July 10th 2018at 6:00 to 9:00 PM approxi-mately 30 members of thisHorticultural Society will ran-domly visit our gardens andif your inclined, I should liketo have as many membersas possible to meet andgreet them. It is a surety thatsome Society members areMaster Gardeners and wecould then ask questions inreturn. These Garden VisitDays are not open to thepublic..it is just what they dothemselves.A letter from Dr. Martha

Dowsley notified us of herstarting up Shuniah’s NewSpark and Brownie Groupasking if they can help us inthe Soil Mates Fall Gardencleanup as the girls wouldlike to do Community Work. Itotally accept and invite theirhelping us in our clean-upand make good in Septem-ber.On another note,Tammi

Whitelock, Community Pro-gram Director for Shuniah,has invited me to be a guestspeaker at their new Sum-mer Day Camp (July/Au-gust), and I will certainlyhave interesting gardenideas to pass on to them. Iam leaning towards paintingand planting small flowerpots with seeds donatedfrom Lowe's that were leftover from our April meeting.

Soil Mates garden member Trish Somerleigh, a fam-ily friend of Carol Klukie, together agreed to rebuildthis memorial garden with flowers more in keepingwith their memories of Josh. Carol, her son Dannyand his young family spent a tireless 4 hour stretchon Victoria Day Holiday morning, digging out thebed, placing the cedar post and planting all the newflowers. Carol contributed the beautiful Cast iron

Bird Feeder.it is a de-lightful Sun-flower dishhanging witha little belland chain. itwas an hon-our to meetCarol andher immedi-ate family.

northern Credit Union Donation signagemounted on Garden #36 with Chairper-son Peter Tracz and Bob Zale. All wehave to do is find a Garden Member witha touque and red beard.

The northern Credit Union final donation (2 x $500) totalling $1000 was received on May 5th. With sev-eral teams of garden members, each handling many phases of the construction, the 4 raised bed gar-dens have been completed and they are second to non in materials and workmanship. Our thanks tomember Bob Zale for his assistance on our behalf.
