RIP Dance. You made everyone smile!
Slow Down for Dance
A long-standing tradition at the East Algoma OPP Blind River Detachment is the placement of a cruiser on the front lawn to encourage motorists to slow down on Causley Street.
This tradition was started by Constable Andrew Hall, affectionately known as "Dance." Always looking for creative ways to get drivers to slow down, Dance even tried placing a mannequin in the driver's seat of the cruiser. Let's just say it didn't go over quite as well as he'd hoped!
This year marks 10 years since Dance passed away following his battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), but his memory continues to live on within our detachment and community.
In his honour, the East Algoma Detachment continues to place a cruiser on the front lawn as a tribute to a respected colleague, friend, and proud member of the OPP family.
If you knew Dance, slow down and give a honk as you pass by.
Never forgotten. Always remembered.
Remember: Speeding saves only seconds, but can change lives forever. Slow down, stay alert, and help keep our roads and communities safe. ^bg

Ralentissez pour Dance
Une tradition de longue date au détachement de Blind River de l'OPP d'East Algoma consiste à stationner une autopatrouille sur la pelouse avant du détachement afin de rappeler aux automobilistes de ralentir sur la rue Causley.
Cette tradition a été instaurée par le gendarme Andrew Hall, affectueusement surnommé « Dance ». Toujours à la recherche de nouvelles façons d'inciter les conducteurs à ralentir, il a même tenté d'installer un mannequin dans le siège du conducteur de l'autopatrouille. Disons simplement que l'idée n'a pas eu le succès escompté!
Cette année, cela fait 10 ans que Dance nous a quittés à la suite de son combat contre la SLA (sclérose latérale amyotrophique), mais son souvenir demeure bien vivant au sein du détachement et de la communauté.
Afin d'honorer sa mémoire, le détachement d'East Algoma continue de perpétuer cette tradition en stationnant une autopatrouille sur la pelouse avant du détachement.
Si vous avez connu Dance, ralentissez et faites entendre votre klaxon en passant.
Toujours dans nos pensées. Jamais dans l'oubli.
Petit rappel : Quelques secondes gagnées ne valent jamais le risque. Ralentissez, demeurez vigilant et contribuez à la sécurité de tous sur nos routes. ^bg

A local German shepherd found himself in a terrifying ordeal when his head became tightly stuck beneath a heavy metal fence. Stranded and unable to move, the panicked pup whimpered in distress until the heroes of West Sacramento Fire Department's Engine 44 rushed to the scene. Using specialized rescue ree! equipment, the firefighters carefully cut through the thick metal bars, creating just enough room to gently slide him to safety.
