I was honored to present Public Safety Telecommunicator Acacia Clarambeau with the Life Saving Award today for her actions in October. Acacia answered the 911 call, dispatched first responders and ambulance to the residence, and provided reassurance to the frantic caller as her husband was unresponsive. Ultimately, the quick response with timely CPR and medical treatment saved the man’s life and he is still with us today. To make it more remarkable, Acacia was just 1 week removed from completing her training and working on her own.

Please join me in congratulating Acacia’s great work!

With the start of Fall Harvest please make sure that you are paying attention to your surroundings.

Motorists:
• Slow down and use caution when approaching farm equipment. Don’t assume the equipment operator can see you.
• Watch for debris dropped by farm equipment.
• Wait for a safe place to pass.
• Drive with headlights on.

Farm equipment operators:
• Use lights and flashers to make equipment more visible.
• Use slow-moving vehicle emblems on equipment traveling less than 30 mph.
• Avoid encouraging or signaling motorists to pass. Pull over when safe and let traffic pass.
