irefighters take a "erash course"
Crews from the Gouverneur, Richville and Oxbow Fire and Rescue
Departments were sharpening their skills Monday and Tuesday as they
participated in vehicle stabilization and victim extrication drills at the
Gouverneur Fire Station, on Route 11. The members worked on a mock
three-vehicle accident with personal injuries. Teams used the new
stabilization struts and hydraulic crews to help remove the "victims" who
were trapped in the cars. Both Gouverneur and Richville run to at least
twice as many motor vehicle accidents as they do fire calls. According to
participants, the training and planning is to perfect the ability to use the
tools properly and safely as well as speed the process of removing the injured
from the vehicles. Over 30 firefighters and EMT's participated in the class.

"It is very encouraging
that so many people in St.
Lawrence County rose to
the challenge in the fight
against Alzheimer's disease
at this year's Memory
Walk," Toni Ann Daley,
chief development officer
for
t h e Alzheimer's
Association, Central New
York Chapter. "With funds
raised at this year's walk,
the Chapter will provide
much needed care and
support to people touched
by the disease as well as
research
to
fight
Alzheimer's disease."
There are as many as
5.3 million people currently
living with the disease in
America. I n t h e St.
Lawrence alone, there are
more than 2,600 people
with Alzheimer's. It is
estimated that someone in
America
develops
Alzheimer's disease every
70 seconds, b y midcentury someone will
develop Alzheimer's disease
every 33 seconds.
