Police officer grieves after
part-time transfer denied
A LONG-TIME constable with
the Edmonton Police Service
(EPS) was unhappy with many
unsuccessful attempts to be
transferred to a part-time posi-
tion and she eventually grieved
her treatment.
Const. Jody Coughlan had
been with the EPS since 2001,
when in December 2013, her
daughter was diagnosed with
cancer.
She was given a medical leave
of absence to deal with it and
Saskatoon bartender drunkenly quits,
attempts to get job back 2 days later
AFTER A birthday celebration at his workplace
that included too much alcohol, a bartender sud-
denly announced he was quitting.
Ryan Vandale had worked at the Army, Navy
and Air Force Veterans Club #38 in Saskatoon
since 2010. On his 35
th
birthday on Oct. 13, 2018,
he went to the club around 6 p.m. to celebrate.
Vandale was also a member of the club and he
wasn't on duty that evening.
Vandale began to over-imbibe and "before I
knew it, I was on autopilot. Don't recall what hap-
pened." Many drinks and alcohol shots were given
to Vandale that evening, he testified.
Around 10:15 p.m., Murray Shaw, club board
member, phoned club manager Gail Ethier. Van-
dale was behaving disrespectfully toward other
patrons as well as the bartender on duty, said
Shaw.
Ethier then asked to speak with Vandale. "I'm
fine. There's no problem at all," he said. Vandale
