The new positions enable Papple to continue with her work training both business- es and individuals in disaster response - which she has already been doing fort he better part of four years. t Papple already holds he position, of chair to the Disaster Management team for the entire region and sits on the regional Red Cross council and is a peer support councillor. According to a press release issued by the Canadian Red Cross, Papple will help pro- vide volunteer training oppor- tunities through mock disas- ters, refresher activities at meetings and guest speakers. "The Red Cross has desig- nated disaster management as one of our major focus areas," explains Papple dur- ing a recent interview, adding that the Red Cross has already quite a few agree- ments with Huron County businesses, that are ready to help, with either food or shel- ter, if need be. "We try and arrange a few training activities at each meeting," she adds, noting that they hope to organize a meeting for sometime in September, which anyone can attend. Papple has witnessed first hand the importance of hav- ing a quick, efficient disaster response plan in place. Along with her husband Tyler, who is also active with the Red Cross, Papple spent 11 days in Sudbury helping evacuees of the Cree reserve of Kashechewan. Summer Papple "Through my roles I have the ability to have a large impact in helping those most in need. and to see the posi- tive effect Red Cross help has on.people," she says. Here in Huron County, Papple says , the Red Cross is looking for more individual volunteers. "We are looking for people who have a desire to help those in need and would like to be involved in their own t community," she says. "Everyone's welcome. We're s looking for a mixture of vol- a unteers - from those who would like to be trained to i help in an emergency to those b who are interested in taking r a leadership role in planning e ahead and ' preparing for S managing the impact`of a dis- o aster." 8 Papple adds that the Red Cross already has quite a few w volunteers from Seaforth, " Exeter, Clinton and Goderich, a but that they'd like to havegr volunteers from all over the d county. e A separate press release bl 14. ■ ■ from the Red Cross states the organization is currently looking for volunteers who are, interested in being trained to help after a disas- ter. "Registering evacuees, dis- tributing comfort kits and blankets, setting up a shelter . and working directly with those effected," are activities listed for volunteers in the press release. It also says they are looking for anyone interested in giv- ing personal emergency pre- paredness workshops to busi- nesses, non-profit organiza- tions and the public. Papple says they hope to. have a Personal Disaster Assistance program up and running in Huron County by the fall. The program is cur- rently running in Stratford. She says the program would prepare individuals for Situa- tions where the fire depart- ment might call upon them to help families meet their basic needs, such as shelter, food or clothing. "And we would help them hrough the first 72 hours until other agencies could tep in and take over," she dds. Papple encourages anyone nterested in volunteering or eing trained in disaster esponse to contact her via mail at ummer. Papple@redcross. ca r by phone at the office at 1- 77-528-8802. "Disasters happen every - here," points out Papple, and through proper planning nd preparedness we can eatly minimize the impact isasters have on everyone, specially the most vulnera- e." Maloney considers running for mayor From Page 1 Maloney. `If a councillor disagrees with the mayor, they are chastised in front of the whole council,' he said. Maloney said he has 28 years' experience in munici- pal politics in Hibbert, Dublin, West Perth and Huron East to offer ratepay- ers in the position of mayor. He adds he's been thinking of running for mayor for the past two years. When asked what other issues he's interested in pur- suing as mayor, Maloney said he doesn't have any. «1 don't really have any big vision - just doing the day-to- day stuff as long as the money's being spent equally between the five wards. And, I can't say that's not being done now," he said. Seili announced in April he would run again for mayor of Huron East. •
