Lexington 'Zombie' turns emergency into AED mapping effort - Spectrum News

With varsity-eligible players now in the single digits, Lexington has made the difficult decision to forfeit Thursday night’s football game at Middlesex Liberty rival Winchester, as well as the Oct. 30th matchup against Arlington. A decision on the Thanksgiving morning meeting at Concord-Carlisle, in the teams’ 104th meeting, is not final. “This has been a hard day, but there is relief,” said Lexington athletic director Naomi Martin. “We have had honest conversations with the [Middlesex] league on a week by week basis, and we can not put a varsity team on the field this week.” Martin reached out to Winchester AD Wayne Puglisi, as well as Jeff Bowler (Arlington) and Aaron Joncas (Concord-Carlisle). Lexington dropped to 0-6 — and was 7-36 the previous four seasons — after a 62-0 defeat to Reading Thursday night. With its senior night scheduled for this week, Winchester will host Lexington for a sub-varsity game Thursday (5:30 p.m.), and honor the program’s seniors prior to kickoff.

The Indiana man accused of killing a Lexington woman in a hit-and-run in Montgomery will appear for an arraignment Monday.

World Restart a Heart Day highlights the province's need for action , /CNW/ -- On World Restart a Heart Day, Heart & Stroke is urging the Ontario government to require and fund registered automated external defibrillators (AED) in every school through regulations under the Defibrillator Registration and Public Access Act. The act was passed in 2020 and established an AED registrar, but regulations are still needed to set clear, consistent standards for where AEDs must be placed and maintained across Ontario.

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) president and CEO Brian McGuire has announced he has sent letters to U. S. governors from states with significant exposure to Canadian trade urging action to resolve the ongoing trade impasse between the two countries. “Our supply chains do not stop at state lines or national borders. Heavy machinery, agricultural equipment, industrial components, and service parts routinely cross the U. S.-Canada border multiple times during production and distribution. The ongoing uncertainty created by trade disputes will disrupt significant multi-year capital investments, inflate equipment costs, and directly threaten local jobs,” wrote McGuire.
