Garden Initiatives in the Bay (Part 5 of 5)
Cumberland Elementary PTO: In May, the Cumberland School PTO hosted a cleanup for families to weed the front walk, south parking field, and east building edge. Volunteers overhauled the raised garden bed, removing weeds and centralizing the scattered cup plant. Donuts and coffee were enjoyed by many amidst warm weather! Our focus is to remove invasive species and utilize our budget to plant natives over the summer. The plan is also to test the soil in the raised bed to see if it's viable for vegetables, per approval by Buildings & Grounds. Submitted by Stephanie R.A. Hacker and Kathleen Lucier.

News from the Health Department:
The North Shore Health Department (NSHD) reminds residents to take steps to stay cool and safe during this heat wave. Symptoms of heat-related illness:
- Muscle cramping may be the first symptom.
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Strong or rapid pulse
- Dizziness and even death
Infants, children, and individuals 65 or older are at a higher risk of developing heat related illness because they are less likely to notice and less able to moderate the change in their body’s temperature. Be aware of warning signs of dehydration for babies:
- Dark urine or a child may have less urine in their diaper
- A dry or sticky mouth
- No tears when crying
- Not appear active or playful
- No appetite
Tips to reduce heat-related illness :
- Stay cool – wear light clothing, reduce sun exposure, and stay in air-conditioned buildings as much as possible. Do not rely on fans as a primary cooling device. If your home does not have air conditioning, consider public places such as shopping malls, movie theaters, or libraries. During extreme heat events, local cooling centers may open.
- Take cool baths or showers and use wet towels on your skin to help you cool down.
- Stay hydrated – increase water intake and never wait until you are thirsty to drink fluids.
- Limit dehydrating beverages – avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages and those containing large quantities of sugar.
