Jennifer Mabee Dispatches
Written by Jennifer Mabee   
March 4, 2013, Waubaushene, Ont. – Everything happens for a reason. You’ve heard that before, right? Or perhaps you’ve even told yourself that’s the case in an attempt to understand something that seemed beyond an obvious, reasonable explanation.

Les Karpluk Under Control
Written by Les Karpluk   
Feb 26, 2013, Prince Albert, Sask. – Who says you can’t teach old dogs new tricks? I’m glad our 12-year-old Cocker Spaniel didn’t get the memo. It took me only 15 minutes to teach her to leave the room when she begs for food; by simply raising my arm and pointing my finger in a stern way, she gets the message that she is to leave the room. She’s not happy about it, but she obeys. I really do not care if she sits and stares at me while I eat, but the begging thing just gets under my skin.

Feb. 20, 2013, Redwood Meadows, Alta. – Sunday was a busy day for the crews at Redwood Meadows Emergency Services, but not as you would expect. This Family Day weekend, we carried on with a tradition that started a few years ago with a big brunch for the families of our members. We also started what we hope will become a new annual event: a hockey game against the local community team, and later taking to the ice against the kids.

Feb. 14, 2013, Waubaushene, Ont. - Tuesday morning, I was sitting in my boss’s office, chit-chatting about work, and the tones went off for a single-vehicle MVC.

Feb 11, 2013, Prince Albert, Sask. – If you want to kill a couple hours with your peers, ask them if leaders are made or born; throw in a few beers and spicy chicken wings and the conversation is sure to get interesting.

Feb. 8, 2013, Redwood Meadows, Alta. – In the first month of 2013, there were a number of fire deaths across the country; not a great start to the year.

Jan. 29, 2013, Redwood Meadows, Alta. – At about the time my last blog was being posted on Monday, I was hearing the very sad news of six-year-old Jayden Phaneuf’s passing from cancer. Late last year it was learned that Jayden dreamed of one day becoming a firefighter. He became an honorary member of the Irricana fire department (Station 108) in December, just before Christmas, after more than a dozen fire departments, police agencies, Alberta Health Services and 60-plus emergency responders helped out.
