(NEW HAVEN) — The following is Educational Information and Tips from the New Haven Health Department Regarding the Health Risks of Extreme Cold
Being exposed to cold temperatures for a long period of time can lead to serious health problems. The most common cold weather illnesses are frostbite and hypothermia.
Frostbite
Frostbite is an injury to the body that is caused by freezing. Frostbite causes a loss of feeling and color in affected areas. It most often affects the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers, or toes. Frostbite can permanently damage the body, and severe cases can lead to amputation. The risk of frostbite is increased in people with reduced blood circulation and among people who are not dressed properly for extremely cold temperatures.
Signs of frostbite:
- A white or grayish-yellow skin area
- Skin that unusually feels firm
- Numbness
What to do:
- Get into a warm room as soon as possible.
- Unless absolutely necessary, do not walk on frostbitten feet or toes—this increases the damage.
- Immerse the affected area in warm—not hot—water (the temperature should be comfortable to the touch for unaffected parts of the body).
- Or, warm the affected area using body heat. For example, the heat of an armpit can be used to warm frostbitten fingers.
- Do not rub the frostbitten area with snow or massage it at all. This can cause more damage.
- Don’t use a heating pad, heat lamp, or the heat of a stove, fireplace, or radiator for warming.
- Affected areas are numb and can be easily burned.
- Seek medical treatment.
Hypothermia
Hypothermia is more serious than frostbite. When exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced. Prolonged exposure to cold will eventually use up your body’s stored energy. The result is hypothermia, or abnormally low body temperature. Body temperature that is too low affects the brain, making the victim unable to think clearly or move well. This makes hypothermia particularly dangerous because a person may not know it is happening and won’t be able to do anything about it.
Hypothermia is most likely at very cold temperatures, but it can occur even at cool temperatures (above 40°F) if a person becomes chilled from rain, sweat, or submersion in cold water. Victims of hypothermia are often (1) elderly people with inadequate food, clothing, or heating; (2) babies sleeping in cold bedrooms; (3) people who remain outdoors for long periods—the homeless, hikers, hunters, etc.; and (4) people who drink alcohol or use illicit drugs.
Signs of hypothermia in Adults:
- Shivering, exhaustion
- Confusion, fumbling hands
- Memory loss, slurred speech
- Drowsiness
Signs of Hypothermia in Infants:
- Bright red, cold skin
- Very low energy
What to do:
If you notice any of these signs, take the person’s temperature. If it is below 95°, the situation is an emergency—get medical attention immediately.
If medical care is not available, begin warming the person, as follows:
- Get the victim into a warm room or shelter.
- If the victim has on any wet clothing, remove it.
- Warm the center of the body first—chest, neck, head, and groin—using an electric blanket, if available. Or use skin-to-skin contact under loose, dry layers of blankets, clothing, towels, or sheets.
- Warm beverages can help increase the body temperature, but do not give alcoholic beverages. Do not try to give beverages to an unconscious person.
- After body temperature has increased, keep the person dry and wrapped in a warm blanket, including the head and neck.
- Get medical attention as soon as possible.

New York, NY: Sergey Kovalev continues his rise back to the top of the light heavyweight division when he returns to the Mecca of Boxing on Saturday, March 3rd to defend the WBO Light Heavyweight World Title versus southpaw Igor Mikhalkin, originally of Irkutsk, Russia, now fighting out of Hamburg, Germany. A skilled boxer, Mikhalkin puts his ten-bout winning streak on the line as he steps up to challenge one of the most fearsome punchers in professional boxing at New York City's Theater at Madison Square Garden.
In the co-main event, newly minted WBA World Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol of Russia makes his second defense of the title against Cuba's streaking Sullivan Barrera, the mandatory challenger. Viewed as a "toss-up" bout by boxing insiders, Bivol-Barrera matches a young, explosive champion against an experienced veteran hungry for his first world title fight. Presented by Main Events, Krusher Promotions and World of Boxing in association with EC Box Promotions, the doubleheader will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing®. Ticket information will be announced shortly.
Last month, the Big Apple welcomed Kovalev (31-2-1, 27 KOs), the two-time light heavyweight world champion, with open arms as he made his New York debut with a stoppage of Vyacheslav Shabranskyy in the second round to reclaim his WBO Light Heavyweight World Title at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. Eager to return to the ring and to his new home, "Krusher" thrilled his large following of Russian fans last month and he expects an even bigger contingent to greet him in March. As he sits comfortably atop the light heavyweight rankings and in the top five pound-for-pound, Sergey's goal is to put on a great show for the fans in attendance and watching on HBO.
Kovalev said, "I really enjoyed fighting at Madison Square Garden in November. It feels like my home. I'm very excited to go back to MSG and to fight on HBO. Everyone should to have a great time watching my fight!"
Kovalev's manager, Egis Klimas, added, "It's still very difficult to find light heavyweights who want to fight Sergey. I'm surprised! Many thanks to Igor Mikhalkin, who is confident enough to take on The Krusher and get a big opportunity. I don't think it's a coincidence that Shabranskyy is Ukrainian and Igor is Russian. They're tough! Not afraid!"
Mikhalkin (21-1, 9 KOs), 32, a southpaw originally from Irkutsk, Russia, now resides in Hamburg, Germany. He made his professional debut in 2007 with a second-round stoppage against Stefan Stanko and went on to win his first 11 bouts with seven of those wins coming by way of knockout. The lone blemish on Mikhalin's record is a unanimous decision loss to former WBO Light Heavyweight Title contender Aleksy Kuziemski in 2010. In the eight years since, Igor amassed several belts: the IBO Light Heavyweight World Title, EBU Light Heavyweight Title and the WBO Intercontinental Light Heavyweight Title. Mikhalkin will be making his US debut against Kovalev on March 3.
When asked about his upcoming title shot against Kovalev, Mikhalkin replied, "It is a great honor for me to fight in the United States. This will undoubtedly be the biggest and hardest fight in my career. Kovalev is for me the strongest man in this weight class. But I feel ready. The fight against Kovalev comes at the perfect time. I feel stronger than ever and I want to show the American boxing audience a great fight."
Mikhalkin's promoter, Erol Ceylan, of EC Box Promotions added, "We are happy to organize this fight together with Main Events. Kovalev is a big name in the light heavyweight division. Igor has absolutely earned this fight and he has the class to defeat Kovalev. Igor has already won many great foreign victories in his career and I'm sure that he will be successful again."
In the co-main event, the young champion, Dmitry Bivol (12-0, 10 KOs), makes his New York debut and fights in the United States and on HBO for the second time. Sullivan Barrera (21-1, 14 KOs), who has become a fixture on HBO, returns to The Garden for his first world title fight. Both men were very focused on making this fight and facing each other. Some boxing commentators believe this matchup could be the fight of the night.
"This is not the first time that I am training for the most important fight of my career, and this motivates me and makes me happy! Sullivan Barrera is what we wanted and I am glad that we will meet in the ring soon," explained WBA Light Heavyweight World Champion, Dmitry Bivol.
Andrei Ryabinskiy, of World of Boxing, Bivol's promoter, explained, "We have planned a very active schedule for Dmitry Bivol and World of Boxing in 2018 and are happy to start the year with an event at Madison Square Garden on March 3rd with Dmitry Bivol vs Sullivan Barrera. I would like to thank Kathy Duva and HBO and hope that our partnership will prosper."
Bivol's manager, Vadim Kornilov added, "We are glad that our first appearance in 2018 will be against one of the best in the division in the legendary Madison Square Garden. Sullivan Barrera is a serious test for Bivol and we have a lot of respect for him taking this fight. We want to prove to the world that it was not by accident that this young kid became a world champion in only his 12th ring appearance, he is already fighting on HBO for his third time, and he is fighting one of the best fighters in the division with only one career loss that came at the hands of Andre Ward. Bivol has already been mentioned as a possible pound for pound prospect by many and we will continue fighting the best out there to prove this!"
Barrera said, "I came from Cuba with one dream and that was to win a world title. I know it won't be easy and I know I chose the toughest road than anyone to get here. But I know all of the tough opponents I have agreed to fight and hard work will pay off. On March 3rd, I will become the most deserving light heavyweight champion in boxing."
Main Events CEO Kathy Duva remarked, "We're ready to showcase the light heavyweight division again at Madison Square Garden! We have Kovalev and Barrera both returning to The Theater after big wins in November and we're adding another light heavyweight champion to the card! Dmitry is a young champion with a bright future ahead of him if he can get past Sullivan, which is no easy task. And Sergey is taking on Igor Mikhalkin, who is a young, but experienced, southpaw and that's given him some trouble in the past. We'll round out the show with another lineup of prospects and local guys in great fights to make sure the fans see a really entertaining and satisfying night of boxing."
About Kovalev-Mikhalkin: The Saturday, March 3 main event between Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev and Igor Mikhalkin is a 12-round match-up for the WBO Light Heavyweight World Title at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The superstar players of Paris Saint-Germain ended 2017 with a stunning world first – a game on a floating football pitch during the club’s Qatar Winter Tour 2017 this week. The friendly game saw players including Neymar Jr, Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani and Thiago Silva, playing atop the pitch on the stunning waters of the Arabian Gulf against the dramatic backdrop of Doha’s glittering skyline.
The event concluded the team’s time in Qatar as part of its traditional mid-season Qatar Winter Tour.
In addition to recording a world’s first, the team also met with thousands of Qatari football fans and indulged in cultural activities organised by the Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA). The team’s packed itinerary included a trip to the magnificent Qatari sand dunes of the Inland Sea for players Adrien Rabiot, Layvin Kurzawa and Marco Verratti, and a taste of Arabian hospitality at a traditional campsite.
Back in Doha, Julian Draxler, Thomas Meunier and Presnel Kimpembe learned about Qatar’s culture and history with a visit to the Msheireb Museums, while Dani Alves, Thiago Motta and Kevin Trapp were treated to a traditional Qatari meal on the rooftop of the Shangri-La Hotel, where they had a stunning view of the iconic Doha Corniche.
Rashed Al Qurese, Chief Marketing and Promotion Officer at QTA commented, “We are delighted to have once again hosted the Paris Saint-Germain squad in Qatar to explore and enjoy what our country has to offer, from state-of-the art sport facilities to authentic tourist experiences.” He continued, “We are particularly excited to have the team spread Qatar’s message of welcome to the world, following the country’s announcement of visa-free entry to 80 nationalities.”
To connect with their fans – young and old - several players took part in a public signing session as well as a training clinic led by coach Unai Emery. In addition, Paris Saint-Germain FIFA Qatari player Aameghessib and France’s Mannika took part in an esports tournament showcasing top Qatari talent, before taking on several Paris Saint-Germain football players.
Since 2012, QTA and Paris Saint-Germain have worked on a strategic partnership to promote Qatar’s sport and leisure tourism offerings. QTA has hosted several tours for Paris Saint-Germain teams, including the Qatar Handball Tour 2014 and the Qatar Ladies Tour 2015 and the Qatar Winter Tours in 2013 and 2015.

New Haven—Mayor Toni N. Harp and Fire Chief John Alston Jr. today issued a reminder about fire safety strategies for the forthcoming holiday season. As more and more residents plan to put up a Christmas tree in their homes, Mayor Harp and Chief Alston reaffirmed their commitment to safety in making their suggestions to city residents about how to stay safe no matter the situation.
“As New Haven residents come together to celebrate the holidays and spend cherished time with loved ones, taking a few precautionary measures now will ensure the safety of family members, neighbors, and community members in the future,” Mayor Harp said.
Chief Alston reminded residents to keep Christmas tree safety in mind beginning when the tree is selected and until it is recycled after the holidays.
In a recent report by the National Fire Protection Association, Christmas tree-related home fires caused over $14 million in damages nationwide. In addition, Christmas tree-related fires were found to be more dangerous than the average house fire, and much of the risk to residents resulted from the tree being placed too close to a heat source.
“Christmas trees bring joy to many holiday celebrations, but is important to recognize how easily they can catch on fire if one does not take the proper precautions. New Haveners must be mindful of any heat source in the vicinity of the tree and ensure that they are a safe distance apart. A little extra attention goes a long way toward keeping the holiday season fire-free,” Chief Alston said.
In addition, Chief Alston issued specific Christmas tree safety guidelines:
- Residents should only choose a tree with fresh, green needles that do not fall off when touched.
- Before it is set up in the home and placed in the stand, residents should cut two inches from the base of the trunk.
- It is critical that the tree is not obstructing any exits and is placed at least three feet away from any heat source such as fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents, or lights. The tree stand should be watered daily.
- When decorating the tree, it is important to double check that all lighting instruments are fit for indoor use have the label of an independent testing laboratory.
- Candles should never be used on or near Christmas trees as decorations.
- Always replace strings of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulbs, and consult the manufacturer’s instructions for the limit of how many strands to connect.
- When leaving the house or going to bed, always turn off Christmas tree lights.
Finally, Christmas trees should be disposed of promptly after the holiday as they quickly become drier and more flammable with each day, Chief Alston said. Trees should not be left out in the home, in the garage, or outside leaning up against the home. Outdoor lights should be brought inside to prevent hazards and make them last longer.

Mayor Harp, Tweed New Haven Airport Officials to
Welcome Arrival of New Jet Service to Region Wednesday
First American Airlines jet to land midday Wednesday
November 28, 2017 (New Haven, CT) – On Wednesday, November 29 at 11:30 a.m., Mayor Toni N. Harp will join officials of the Tweed New Haven Regional Airport Authority and welcome the arrival of new American Airlines jet service at Tweed New Haven Regional Airport, 155 Burr Street, New Haven.
The airport will launch the new jet service American Eagle, and will begin replacing its 37-seat, Dash 8 turboprop service with 50-seat, CRJ-200 regional jet aircraft. The jet upgrade will offer New Haven passengers a higher level of service and a smoother, quieter traveling experience while also offering an additional 78 seats a day to and from American’s premier global hub in Philadelphia.
American’s jet service connects New Haven passengers to more than 21 countries and 115 destinations with a quick, one-stop connection in Philadelphia. Additional connections can be made from Philadelphia via American’s other hubs to access nearly 350 destinations in more than 50 countries across American’s worldwide network.
The ongoing enhancements and upgrade to the main airport runway will ensure continued operational reliability for American while also opening Tweed to longer distance flights for the future. The growth and increased level of services at Tweed will insure that the airport will continue to be a vital economic engine for the region.
