Local Hero Officer Pearson Calls It Quits With A Legacy of Dedication and Service

Known for his hard work, passion, and kindness, Pearson's retirement marks the end of an era for the Ormond Beach Police Department.

Perfect Eclipse Viewing Ahead, But Keep an Eye on the Sky

Florida's enjoying a spell of warm, sunny weather, perfect for the upcoming partial solar eclipse. While high, thin clouds might float by, they're unlikely to spoil the show. Temperatures could hit near 90 by Wednesday, but a Thursday front bringing showers and potential storms might cool things down. However, the state is expected to dry out in time for the weekend, keeping the sunny streak alive for outdoor enthusiasts.

Secure Your ISO-Standard Glasses Before the Eclipse For Celestial Safety

Experts warn that viewing an eclipse without proper ISO-standard eclipse glasses could lead to serious eye damage, emphasizing that regular sunglasses or any makeshift solutions are inadequate. Some residents are securing their safety gear from local libraries and online retailers, ensuring their glasses are damage-free. Parents are advised to ensure children's glasses fit securely, preventing any direct exposure during the eclipse.

Eclipse glasses are available at Staples, Wal-Mart, Bucee’s, in our area.

Curiosity Stung the Cat - Emergency Tips for Bee Encounters

Cats, with their boundless curiosity and penchant for play, often find themselves in a prickly situation when they tussle with the wrong end of a bee. A sting can leave your furry friend in a world of hurt, swelling, and potentially on the brink of a life-threatening allergic reaction. Here’s the lowdown on handling the sting in the tail - literally.

Immediate Steps for a Bee-Stung Kitty

Spot a bee’s farewell gift on your cat? Time is of the essence in whipping out the stinger to curb the venom's flow. While bees leave a parting souvenir that needs to be flicked away pronto, wasps are repeat offenders without losing their weapon.

If the stinger lands somewhere accessible and your cat’s not in full panic mode, you might manage a DIY removal. Yet, if it’s lodged in a spot like the eye or mouth, better get your vet on speed dial.

The Stinger Snag

Forget tweezers or fingers—these could just pump more poison into your pet. Opt for a credit card or something flat to gently swipe it off. Can’t get it out without causing a kitty crisis? Keep calm, offer some soothing strokes or a treat to distract, but remember, a stinger left unchecked could escalate the ordeal.

Cooling the sting spot with an ice pack or a baking soda paste can offer some relief, but these home remedies are no stand-in for a vet’s expertise.

When Things Get Hairy: Allergic Reactions

A sting could send some cats into anaphylactic shock, a severe reaction marked by hives, vomiting, abnormal heart rate, and even collapse. These signs can manifest within minutes or hours post-sting, signaling a dash to the emergency vet is in order.

The takeaway? While a bee sting might seem minor, it’s a big deal in the cat world. Keeping a vigilant eye post-encounter could save your cat from severe discomfort or worse.
