Massingham said Browse related items: , , Posted in Media Releases Maine – Over two dozen businesses in northern Maine’s St John Valley region have contributed to an upcoming raffle to help the Frenchville Fire Department obtain a new off-road vehicle to rescue people on the town’s ATV trails Town Manager David Cyr said the department currently has a snowmobile equipped to rescue people on the trails during the winter but they don’t have the same capability in the summer It’s looking to buy a heavy duty type of ATV known as a utility terrain vehicle so you’ve got to rely on whoever’s available to provide us with an ATV,” Cyr said Cyr said he and officials have been talking about getting a rescue ATV since 2022 when an individual died from an injury while cutting trees on a local trail and unfortunately he was injured fatally,” Cyr said we started having discussions about if we should have our own ATV equipped to move somebody in the event of a fatality or an injury.” He said another advantage of purchasing a UTV will be that it can be outfitted with a water tank to help the fire department respond to forest and grass fires.  “The machine will serve a couple of purposes,” he said Assistant Fire Chief Eric Blanchette said they are looking at a Can-Am Defender 6-wheeler equipped with a 6-foot bed He said this would easily allow emergency responders to fit an individual in the back and transport them to safety Cyr said the town has roughly 15 miles of ATV trails within the community Cyr said Frenchville received a $10,000 challenge grant from an anonymous benefactor to help the fire department purchase extrication equipment.  After launching a successful fundraising campaign and purchasing the equipment Cyr said the benefactor once again reached out to the town in 2024 offered to do another $10,000 matching grant and asked what equipment Frenchville would need the town decided to use the challenge grant toward the UTV which is estimated to cost roughly $31,000 altogether The board of selectmen voted to spend $11,000 in town money on the vehicle Cyr said some of this funding has been offset with $1,000 from Versant as part of the company’s 100-year anniversary grant program He said the town has also sought donations from the private sector a separate organization that raises money for the department will be responsible for the remaining $10,000 The club’s fundraising plan includes distributing raffle tickets that will be drawn during an April 27 chicken barbecue Tickets are $10 each and over two dozen businesses from the region donated prizes ranging from 100 gallons of oil three months worth of free garbage pick-up and gift cards for grocery stores and restaurants “Between this fundraiser and our chicken barbecue in April we think that we can achieve the $10,000 goal that the club is going to be responsible for,” Blanchette said Blanchette and Fire Chief Peter Parent said the department usually just does the chicken barbecue each year Parent said the tickets were distributed earlier last week and are selling quickly Blanchette said it has been nice to see so many nearby businesses contribute to the cause “Each firefighter hit up a few different businesses,” he said “And a lot of them are more than willing to put something forward to contribute to this Students from Frenchville State School began their Walk to School this morning from the renewed playground at Eichelberger Park Chair of Council’s Parks Committee Councillor Cherie Rutherford said it made her very happy to see the new playground being used by students “It was an absolute pleasure to go along to Frenchville State School’s Walk to School event this morning and I really want to thank the school for including us,” said Cr Rutherford “National Walk Safely to School Day promotes the health benefits of getting out and being active and in my opinion there are few better incentives for kids to get outside than having a great playground in their own neighbourhood.” Division 2 Councillor Neil Fisher said that Frenchville State School students should feel proud of the renewed playground and commended the school for their proactive interaction with Rockhampton Region Council in the Frenchville community “Students at Frenchville have been involved in the new park since plans were first suggested last year and we have heard their thoughts on the colours and the equipment,” said Cr Fisher “I hope that the students really feel a sense of ownership and pride over the new park.” Frenchville State School Deputy Principal Bill Smith said that he is very happy to see this kind of connection between the School and Council “It was great to see our students have input into the development of the playground and wonderful for them to see their impact in the community.” said Mr Smith The new playground equipment includes a double tower with spaces for climbing The equipment caters for children between the ages of 2 and 12 years.  Rockhampton
