Parking Fees Threaten Ice Skating Access | Bristol News

A new parking fee at an ice rink is sparking outrage among parents, especially those with chronic conditions or limited mobility, who fear the cost will push families out of the sport. With fees starting at $5 for five hours, one mom with fibromyalgia says it could add $40 a month to her already steep skating expenses — a necessity for her kids’ mental health and her own mobility. Others, including a long-distance skater and a local coach, argue the policy ignores the reality of accessibility and affordability, questioning whether the rink truly supports inclusive skating. With equipment costs already high, many worry this fee could be the tipping point for families already stretched thin.

Heatwave Safety for Dogs | Bristol News

Dogs are suffering serious heat-related injuries as temperatures soar — from burnt paws to life-threatening heatstroke. Experts are urging a “dog lockdown” — skip walks if it’s too hot. Pavement can reach 50°C while air temps stay at 25°C, blistering paws, especially in brachycephalic breeds, overweight, or senior dogs who can’t cool down effectively. Watch for signs like heavy panting, red gums, vomiting, or lethargy — temps over 41°C are critical. Keep water fresh, use fans, cool towels, and avoid outdoor activity between 8 AM and 8 PM. Indoor enrichment like puzzle toys and frozen treats can keep pets happy and safe — shelters are already doing this. Your dog’s health comes first — stay cool until the heat breaks.
