OCTOBER 28, 1976
At the Colony
Ambulance goes
By MARTHA KIMBERLING
Colony Correspondent
Phone 370-1149
The Colony Fire Department’s recently purchased ambulance
is now in service.
The vehicle was painted last week and is fully equipped to
handle emergencies from heart attacks to child birth. The depart-
ment has 17 ECAs (emergency care attendants) one EMT
(emergency medical technician), two paramedics, and several nurses
on call 24 hours a day.
“The emergency service will serve only Colony residents,”
reports Mike Carroll, medical officer. “There are 10 hospitals in
the area to which we will take patients. We will also answer
calls on major accidents on Highways 121 and 423 since the
chance of involvement of Colony residents would be great.”
Larry Meeks, Luis Guerrero, Norman Mason, Ric Cartier, and
Dan Weed will be taking a 40-hour emergency care course during
the next 10 weeks.
Starting in January, Steve Taylor, Luis Guerrero and Martha
Kimberling will attend TCJC for a full semester taking an EMT
course. “The members of the department are trying to become
better qualified in order to give residents the best medical
care possible in an emergency. This is very important since we
are such a distance from 24-hour medical service,” states Carroll.
GOOD TURN DAY COMING
On Sunday, Oct. 31, Cub Scouts will hand out “Good Turn
Bags.” They ask you to please fill them with repairable items or
even good and not wanted things.
Cubs will pick up the bags from thoughtful neighbors Nov. 6.
The bags will be donated to the Goodwill. All Cubs participating
will earn a special Good Turn Badge for 1976.
METHODISTS PLAN BAZAAR
The Social Concerns Committee of the Colony United
Methodist Church will hold a Christmas Bazaar from 10 a.m.
until 5 p.m. Nov. 6-7 at 5001 Brandenburg.
There. will be baked goods, a rummage sale,' craft items and
even a camper. Proceeds from the sale will benefit the Colony
Volunteer Fire Department.
Tax exempt donations will be accepted at 5001 Brandenburg.
