Service awards presented to two fire department volunteers<br />

The effects of which are still being<br />
felt.<br />
With the help of neighbours along<br />
with the Altario and Consort<br />
Volunteer fire departments, all<br />
worked and fought hard and managed<br />
to get the fire contained before it could<br />
reach our farm.<br />
Words can not describe the gratitude<br />
we have for the sacrifices and the<br />
huge courage our Volunteer firefighters<br />
show every day while<br />
protecting our property and our lives.<br />
Albertans are fortunate to have volunteers<br />
from every corner of the<br />
province that selflessly put themselves<br />
in harms way.<br />
In this case everything turned out<br />
alright, but if not for those who stand<br />
at the ready every day, this situation<br />
could have been a complete disaster<br />
for our family.<br />
The most ironic thing about the fire<br />
this past Thursday was that I was<br />
scheduled to be in Donalda that evening<br />
to present Provincial Emergency<br />
Service Awards, and it was a pleasure<br />
to recognize the recipients.<br />
If nothing else the strange<br />
coincidental set of circumstances gave<br />
me something to talk about at the<br />
awards ceremony.<br />
Retiring Fire Chief, Frank Sutton<br />
and his daughter Tasha an emergency<br />
services worker herself, were presented<br />
awards for outstanding<br />
community service to the Volunteer<br />
fire department of Donalda.<br />

The theft occurred on April 24,<br />
between 3 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. The suspect<br />

entered the compound and proceeded<br />
to steal copper wire.<br />

serve as a reminder to all of us to be<br />
prepared. It’s important that everyone<br />
understand what emergency services<br />
you have in your area and how to contact<br />
them should you encounter an<br />
emergency situation.<br />
A lot of times we neglect these<br />
important details but they inevitably<br />
become critical should the need arise.<br />
The Alberta government has events<br />
and information on their website<br />
vehicle rollover on Highway 13 near<br />
Range Road 152, east of Strome, Ab.<br />
on May 4.<br />
Investigation determined that a<br />
west bound SUV with three occupants<br />
hit the ditch and rolled multiple times,<br />
coming to rest on a Canadian Pacific<br />
Rail line.<br />
Train traffic on the CPR line was<br />
halted and traffic flow on Hwy 13 was<br />
down to one lane of travel during the<br />
investigation.<br />
The driver of the SUV was wearing<br />
through the Alberta Emergency<br />
Management Agency department.<br />

Use this week to check your first aid<br />
kits, smoke and carbon monoxide<br />
detectors, fire extinguishers and other<br />
emergency equipment to ensure it is<br />
all in adequate working order.<br />
Fatal single vehicle rollover near Strome, Ab.<br />
a seatbelt and sustained minor injuries.<br />
Two passengers, not wearing<br />
seatbelts were both ejected from the<br />
SUV. One passenger was declared<br />
dead at the scene and the other was<br />
flown by STARS to Edmonton with<br />
serious injuries.<br />
Alcohol, road and weather conditions<br />
were not contributing factors in<br />
the collision.<br />
The name of the deceased is not<br />
being released.<br />
The RCMP – Much more than policing!<br />
Canada’s national police force is the Royal<br />
Canadian Mounted Police, and what better time to<br />
learn more about who they are and what they do<br />
than during National Police Week, May 14 to 20.<br />
While today’s “Mounties” still work to “always get<br />
their man”, to do so requires so much more than<br />
when the RCMP was created back in 1873.<br />
Originally, the RCMP provided general law<br />
enforcement for early settlers in Canada, with a<br />
role that varied from establishing peaceful relationships<br />
between settlers and the First Nations,<br />
to fighting fires if the need arose. These officers<br />
also established their presence internationally<br />
during numerous rebellions and wars.<br />
The first women police members were signed<br />
on about 100 years<br />
after the organization<br />
was formed, but are<br />
now a vital part of<br />
RCMP operations.<br />
In fact, the RCMP<br />
continues to grow as<br />
its role becomes even<br />

generated a new wave of criminal activity, and<br />
one branch of the RCMP’s National Police<br />
Services deals specifically with crimes such as<br />
identity theft or sex offences, and<br />
provides services related to<br />
security, audio and video analysis,<br />
and co-ordination of<br />
investigations between all<br />
police services in Canada.<br />
Other branches deal with<br />
firearms, education, information,<br />
intelligence,<br />
forensic laboratories, identification<br />
networks and<br />
child exploitation.<br />
The RCMP’s major<br />
areas of focus include<br />
organized crime, terrorism,<br />
youth, aboriginal<br />
communities and economic<br />
integrity.<br />
On a more local level, RCMP officers<br />
still provide everyday policing in<br />
areas not served by provincial or municipal<br />
police services.<br />
They also provide extra support to provinces<br />
and municipalities when needed.<br />
