Missing Moncton Woman Donna O’Rielly Found Alive! RCMP Arrest 62 Year Old Moncton Man

Donna O'Rielly -  Missing Moncton Woman From H&R Block Highfield Square Found Alive!Reports are coming in that missing Moncton woman Donna O’Rielly has been found alive by police. Details are not clear yet and a press conference has been scheduled for tonight on Live At 5 about Donna O’Rielly. So far it’s clear that she is in hospital and apparently turned herself in to police. Donna O’Reilly has been missing since February 26th after leaving her shift at H&R Block in Highfield Square Mall in Moncton. It will be almost a month that police and family have been wondering about what happened to the missing Moncton woman.

Donna O’Rielly was abducted and held captive for nearly a month just minutes away from Highfield Square Mall. Today, Wednesday March 24th, 2010  Donna showed up at RCMP Headquarters in Moncton. She apparently got away from her abductee and was able to flag down a motorist on St.George Blvd. Donna was held captive in a basement in a nearby Moncton home. Donna O’Rielly’s brother-in-law said that she was dropped off at the police station around noon today by a Puralator truck.

Shortly after police talking to Donna about what had occured, police swarmed in and arrested a 62 year old Moncton man without incident in the alleged kidnapping at 2pm today. It is unsure yet what happened to her or why she was abducted but investigators are talking with her to get more information.

From something that many thought the worse now has ended in happiness. The family has yet to see Donna but they will be reunited shortly. She is still in hospital at this time.

The 62 year old Moncton man will appear in court tomorrow to face the charges against him. More details will be released as they come in.

We’re all happy to see that Donna O’Rielly was found alive and well and that this situation had a happy ending. Donna’s family have literally been tortured not knowing the outcome of where she was or what had happened for nearly a month. Today their wishes came true and Donna O’Rielly came home.

James Clement Injured In Survivor Challenge - Injured Again!

It seems as though James Clement is injury proned. In past Seasons of Survivor he has already been taking out of Survivor due to injury. In this challenge above James injured his kneeand was taking out of the challenge. Medical took a look at it and they splinted it up to see if he could walk on it. Lucky for him he was and walked back to camp to meet his tribe waiting to know the outcome of his injury. Even with an injured leg the tribe still voted off Tom on Episode 5 of Survivor 20 Heroes vs. Villains and hopefully that won’t be a mistake on the Heroes Tribe.

He found the hidden immunity idol but was seen by Amanda Kimmel while putting it in his sock. Tom then decided to come clean and offer it to Amanda. Amanda was unsure on what to do come tribal council so she talked to Cirie who quickly said lets vote off Tom. Tom meanwhile talked to JT to see if he could get the numbers and vote off Cirie. JT was the deciding vote!

Come tribal council the votes were about to be read and Tom stood up and said he was hoping on not playing the hidden immunity idol but had no choice.

Are Moncton Business’s Following Proper Health & Safety Procedures To Prevent Accidents In The Workplace

Health and Safety In The Workplace - Proper Procedures Need To Be Followed At Any Job To Prevent Workplace AccidentsAre Moncton companies worried more about added costs then the health and safety of workers or employees? Recently a workplace accident at a local Moncton business makes me wonder how companies are dealing with health and safety procedures to prevent injuries. It was brought to my attention through an email I received that a woman was working on a machine and did not lockout the machine. The employee used the emergency stop button but a fellow co-worker came over and turned the machine on and the woman’s arm got caught in the machine. She only ended up having a sore, bruised arm but it could have been worse. Companies are responsible that safe work practices are being followed and applied to protect both the company and the worker. Under no circumstance should a business tell workers or imply that lockout tags don’t need to be used for worry of extra costs in production in downtime. I don’t know how long it takes you to put a lock on but to put it on and take it off lets say 10-15 seconds to lockout the machine. Every job should be done in the safest manner to prevent workplace injuries. Lockout tags should be used when any work is being done on machines period.

 Lockout tags and procedures are set in place at many business’s to prevent injuries. The emergency stop button is not good enough when working on the machine. The term “emergency” says it all. This button or shut off should be used in case of emergencies where an employee would have to shut off the machine quickly. Lockout tags are to be used when any work is being done on a machine to eliminate any chance of injury due to the machine being started up. Lockout tags are designed so that the employee working on the machine locks it out and places the key in their pocket. Only the person who locks out the machine is allowed to remove it. This eliminates any chance of the machine suddenly starting up.

Emergency Stop Button Is A Safety Feature But It Does Not Replace Lockout TagsIn many cases companies try and take shortcuts to eliminate downtime and increased costs in production but in all actuality they could be increasing costs when an employee becomes injured as a result of a workplace accident on the job. If it takes less then 5 seconds to lock it out, then lock it out! It’s not worth the chance especially working with machines where they could easily remove a hand, finger, arm or even take a life. The emergency button is not a full proof solution to prevent accidents at workplaces. This situation that was emailed to me would have been prevented if a lockout tag was used. If companies are worried about an extra few seconds is ridiculous. Safety first! Companies should think ahead of the time it will take to fill out accident reports, take pictures, investigate and additional costs for compensation of an injured employee. The extra few seconds it would have taken to lock out the machine would prevent this extra work and costs.  Employees working at jobs where lockout tags are there, they should be used at all times when working on machines. I don’t know about you but my safety and well being is worth more then any job.

Lockout Tag - Do Not Operate - Proper Safety Protocol

Lockout Tag - Do Not Operate - Proper Safety Protocol

 

I would advise any companies in Moncton or anywhere not currently following lock out procedures to start using them right away. It just makes sense and even if it’s going to create an additional minute or two to do this, it’s a cost of doing business. Two minutes is not going to break the bank and just might save your company a ton of money in the long run in case of a workplace injury. Work smart, work safe!

Donna O'Rielly Missing Since Feb. 26/10 In Moncton

 

I know after Donna O’Rielly went missing it started making people think of security issues at Highfield Square in Moncton. I know somethings that people can do is travel in pairs after work and going to their vehicle. Many people have taken this action already as people in Moncton are a little scared after this recent event. Everyone should take the necessary precautions for safety and I’m sure that things will be looked at to help increase security and safety for not just the employees that work there leaving Highfield Square at night but for customers as well. Things will need to change to help protect the public with increased security measures.

All of our hearts goes out to Donna’s family as we hope for her safe return. I can’t imagine what they are going through in this difficult time wondering whether or not their mother, wife or sister is okay. We can all pray and hope for her safe return.

Sidney Crosby’s golden overtime goal was a sweet one after having a gold medal within reach during regulation time. Team Canada allowed team USA to score with only 24 seconds left by Zach Parise to tie it up makes this victory that much better. Sidney managed to get the winning goal past star goalie Ryan Miller during OT. What a great hockey game! How Ironic is is that Sidney Crosby won the game for Canada after going the last 3 games without a point. When it all mattered Sid The Kid scores the golden goal that means the most. Now Sidney Crosby has a Stanley Cup and now an Olympic Gold Medal in Men’s Hockey at only 22 years old.

Goals for Team Canada were Corey Perry and Johnathan Toews during regulation time and for US it was Ryan Kesler and Zach Parise with only 24 seconds left in regulation time to score for Team USA to force overtime.
