Weekend tragedy claims fire fighter’s life
bers of the Clarence-Rockland Fire Depart- ment. Vachon’s family, friends and colleagues remember him as a big protective man who loved his family and his community and who was proud to be a part of the local fire department. He worked as an auto me- chanic and turned down a recent job offer in Calgary so he could remain in his com- munity and continue serving as a volunteer fire fighter as he had done for the past four years. Vachon and others who attended the mu- nicipal employees party were driven by bus from Rockland to the arena. He later real-
ized he had left his dress shoes behind on the bus and got a cab to take him over to the bus company lot to retrieve them. The lot was closed so he got back in the cab and returned to the arena where he stayed for dinner and then left the arena on foot just after 9 p.m. Fire Chief Pierre Sabourin reported that Vachon had a couple of glasses of wine at his table during the evening meal but showed no signs of intoxication. Vachon was walking along the side of Landry Road near the Baseline Road intersection when the accident happened. A car, containing two people, hit Vachon. Specific details of the incident are not avail- able at present. OPP investigation of the ac- cident is ongoing. The Casselman village fire department had a crew on standby to cover for the Clarence-Rockland area the night of the municipal Christmas party. Casselman fire fighters arrived at the scene and performed CPR on Vachon but he later died en route to hospital. The driver and passenger in the car that struck Vachon were also taken to hospital for treatment for shock. Police do not sus- pect alcohol had anything to do with the fatal collision. Fire Chief Sabourin reported the Christ- mas party shut down as soon as a report came in about Vachon’s death. He went to see the family of the deceased that night to report the tragedy and offer consolation. Funeral arrangements for Vachon are pending as of press time. Scam tradition returns It’s an old one but still a good one for many con artists and police want older people to be wary about any unexpected calls for help fromdistant family members during the holiday season. The OPP detachments in Eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Metro Police department are passing on a warning from their coun- terparts elsewhere in the province about a familiar phone scam re-surfacing as the holiday season gathers momentum. The con routine involves a phone call from someone claiming to be a relative. The usual victimof the scam is a senior whomay be a grandparent or great-grandparent but may not be aware of the holiday plans of their relatives or may also suffer frommem- ory lapses about who are their grandchil- dren or great-grandchildren. The scammer claims to be in some kind of trouble, either under arrest and needing bail money or else on a trip and either lost all their money or had it stolen from them, or else they had an accident and need mon- ey for medical expenses. The call ends with a plea for help and a request not to tell anyone else in the family because of the embarrassment. Anyone who receives this kind of call or anything similar through their email is asked to first check with another family member to make sure it is factual. If not, then report the call to police and also to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, toll-free, at 1-888-495-8501.
