Heads up! Alectra reminds residents to stay safe around powerlines
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Powerline Safety Week is here, and Alectra Utilities is urging the public to be extra cautious around powerlines, whether working on job sites or tackling spring projects at home. According to the Electrical Safety Authority, more than 40 per cent of Ontarians mistakenly believe that direct contact is required to get a shock or burn from a powerline. However, electricity can arc from the line to any object that comes within three metres, such as a ladder, branch or tool, and cause serious injury or death. 'Powerline Safety Week is an important time to remind everyone about the serious and frequently misunderstood risks that powerlines present,' said Patience Cathcart, Director of Data Science and Public Safety Officer, Electrical Safety Authority. 'Public safety is one of our highest priorities. By working together to raise awareness, we can help reduce the risk of accidents and protect lives.' 'Ensuring the safety of Alectra employees, customers and the public remains our top priority,' said Chris Hudson, Senior Vice President, Network Operations at Alectra Utilities. 'Together, we can ensure an electrically safe and secure community for all.' Every year, injuries and even fatalities occur when people inadvertently come into contact with overhead, often during routine activities like landscaping, digging, or operating equipment under overhead powerlines. Here are six essential safety tips to always follow: For more information about powerline safety, visit: Powerline Safety | Alectra Utilities .

Former ‘Meet the Press' moderator Chuck Todd exits NBC News after nearly two decades
Former 'Meet the Press' moderator Chuck Todd is leaving NBC News after nearly 18 years at the network. Todd said in a memo to NBC News colleagues that Friday was his last day. He'll continue doing his podcast and said he's considering new projects, but offered no details. He joined NBC News as political director in 2007 and was 'Meet the Press' moderator from 2014 to 2023, before giving way to Kristen Welker. The role made him one of the more visible journalists in Washington and, as such, an occasional target of President Donald Trump and his supporters. Todd was a leader in the on-air protest last year that scuttled the hiring of former Republican Party chair Ronna McDaniel as an NBC News contributor. In his memo to colleagues, Todd said the news media has much work to do in winning back the trust of consumers, 'and I'm convinced the best place to start is from the bottom up' with entrepreneurship. 'National media can't win trust back without having a robust partner locally and trying to game algorithms is no way to inform and report,' he wrote. 'People are craving community and that's something national media or the major social media companies can't do as well as local media.' Reporting is key to winning back public support, he said. 'If you do this job seeking popularity, or to simply be an activist,' he said, 'you are doing this job incorrectly.' ___ David Bauder writes about the intersection of media and entertainment for the AP.
