Dog pulled from ice in Centerville
CENTERVILLE - Firefighters were called to rescue a dog that went through the ice on Lake Wequaquet about 2:30 p.m. Officials were relieved that initial reports that a girl had gone through were incorrect. The dog had apparently been missing since Saturday before being spotted. The animal could not be revived. Despite the recent cold snap officials are pleading with people to stay off the ice because it is not safe. Always call firefighters to rescue a pet in distress.

Canadian naval vessels transit Canal
CAPE COD CANAL – The Canadian Navy paid a brief visit to Cape Cod on Sunday morning when the HMCS Kingston (MM 700) and at least one other ship, probably of the same class, transited the Cape Cod Canal. The vessel pictured above is a Kingston-class coastal defense vessel that has served in the Canadian Forces since 1996.
Kingston is the lead ship of her class, which is the name for the Maritime Coastal Defense Vessel Project. She is the first vessel to use the designation HMCS Kingston. The Kingston class coastal defense vessels are mechanical minesweepers in service with the Royal Canadian Navy since 1996. Crewed by sailors from the naval reserve, their main mission is coastal surveillance and training. All twelve ships were built at Halifax Shipyards, in Nova Scotia.
Kingston was laid down on 12 December 1994 at Halifax Shipyards Ltd., Halifax and was launched on 12 August 1995. She was officially commissioned into the CF on 21 September 1996 and carries the hull classification number 700.
It is assigned to Maritime Forces Atlantic (MARLANT) and is homeported at CFB Halifax.

Yarmouth Police host veterans seminar
YARMOUTH - The “military mindset” of a service member is oftentimes not easily understood by their families or civilian counterparts. Understanding the reintegration process of a returned service member is often difficult without understanding the transition they are making from “soldier to civilian.”
Please join Yarmouth Police on Saturday, February 16, 2013 from 10:00 a.m.—12:00 p.m. at the Law Enforcement Training Center at Yarmouth Police Headquarters, One Brad Erickson Way West Yarmouth, Massachusetts 02673
United States Army Disabled Combat Veteran Kevin Lambert, the Director of Special Programs for the Massachusetts Department of Veterans Services, and other Massachusetts Veterans Present: B.A.T.T.L.E.M.I.N.D.
A workshop that will provide a better understanding of the psychological and social stressors endured by service members both during their deployment and upon returning home as well as providing information on how families members, health and human service providers and community members can better assist them in coping with the transition process.
This workshop is open to the public and free of charge
