By Jeff Ward A new one-bay emergency medical services (EMS) facility was offi cially opened in St. Laurent on Nov. 29. Only 14 months after breaking ground, the new EMS facility had its grand opening to the delight of area residents and council. “People living in communities like St. Laurent need to have access to high-quality emergency medical services,” said Health, Seniors and Active Living Minister Kelvin Goertzen. “This new facility will be a modern workplace for area paramedics while ensuring people in the area can get the care they need,” said Goertzen. The facility includes space for one ambulance and has an attached crew area with a washroom, kitch- enette, work rooms and large multi-purpose room. The province invested $680,000 to build the new station. “Our paramedics are often the fi rst members of our health-care teams to attend to medical emer- gencies, and we know they encounter complex and demanding situations every day,” said Ron Van De- nakker, chief executive offi cer, Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority. “This new station pro- TRIBUNE PHOTO BY JEFF WARD vides another appropriate home base for these The ribbon cutting for the new EMS facility in St. Laurent was an exciting moment for residents teams when they aren’t on our roads delivering and and council.

By Natasha Tersigni To introduce high school students to one of Canada’s most in-demand jobs, a new club at Stonewall Colle- giate is mixing the fun of robotics with the fundamentals of coding. SCI science teacher Richard Trotter started a robotics club at the school. Trotter knows that there is a short- age of trained computer program- mers currently in the workforce and wants students to get a taste of robots and coding before leaving school for post-secondary education. While many students think that ro- botics has more to do with working Grade 12 student Rene Deruiter controls, that is not true with Trotter’s works on his sumo robot during club. The robots used in the club are lunch at Stonewall Collegiate’s sumo fi ghting robots that come in disassembled kits and do not use any newest club. The math enthusiast type of remote controls.

This process is the hardest part and very time consuming for students to ensure that they have written the proper code sequence and that their robot will respond correctly when in the ring. “I think this is great for the students to get not only hands-on coding expe- rience but they can actually see what their code is doing. It is not just some abstract thing; they are seeing exactly how the robot responds to their code and can make any changes they need to,” said Trotter, who added that the Naomi Wills shows what a sumo robot is only using code and sensors robot looks like after it is assem- to control movements. “After they are done writing the bled.

Brown Grosse Isle hosts annual Visiting the veterinarian can be a stressful time for both our clients and our patients. But did you know there are tons of things you breakfast with Santa can do, and tons of things we try to do, to make your pet’s veterinary visit as fear-free as possible? Yearly wellness exams for pets are very important for many reasons, but because of the stressful nature of a veterinary visit many pet owners try to put off the vet visit if possible. At the Stonewall Veterinary Hospital we have been working hard to make our hospital environment as pet and client friendly as possible. These are some things that could make a pet fearful about a visit to the veterinarian: Being caught at home, the carrier, the car ride, new sights/sounds/smells, the weigh scale and needles. These are some signs dogs and cats give us when they feel fearful: large pupils, licking their lips, trying to hide, shaking, being aggressive or being very still, dandruff and shedding. What follows is a list of things you can do at home and in the car to decrease the amount of stress your pet feels during a trip to the veterinarian. A lot of these tips can also be used in the home during the holiday season to decrease stress as well. 1. The Pet Carrier: Make it a comfortable, safe place sure your pet’s carrier is the correct size for your pet. Use a soft carrier or put a blanket in it. Hard plastic is uncomfortable. Always keep the carrier in plain view so your pet can go in and out of it as they wish. Feed your pet in the carrier so they associate it with meal time. Hold the bottom of the carrier when lifting it so your pet isn’t swinging back and forth. 2. Put your pet’s collar, harness, and leash on regularly so they accept it. 3. Do not feed your pet before coming to the vet. They will experience less nausea from the car ride, and will be more interested in accepting treats from the veterinary team. 4. Pheromones are available at your veterinary hospital infused into collars, as sprays, and as plug-in diffusers. Spraying pheromones into the carrier and the car can help keep your pet calm. 5. Prepare the car: Many pets are used to a constant indoor temperature. Going out in the cold of winter can be stressful. Warm up the car before putting your pet into it. 6. Buckle up! There are seatbelts for dogs and cats in carriers can be buckled in for a safer more secure trip to the veterinarian. 7. Play calming music: Research has shown that solo piano music played at 60 beats per minute at 60 decibels can be calming for dogs and cats. The absolute most benefi cial thing you can do for your pet to ensure they have a stress-free fear-free life is to ensure they are TRIBUNE PHOTOS BY well SOCIALIZED with people and pets from all walks of life.
