A few drivers from United Parcel Service, not willing to accept that the Salvation Army’s fundraising Turkey Plunge was canceled this year, found some chilly water to jump into so they could generate donations for the charitable organization.

This is the Lakes Region, after all, so, when the annual event at Opechee Cove was canceled over concerns about water quality, they simply found another spot — Bartlett Beach on Lake Winnisquam.

At 11 a.m. on Saturday, the drivers, in their brown uniforms, dove into the bracingly cold water.

It was love at first sight between Jason Coronado and Ernie.

“He is probably my idea of a perfect dog,” Jason Coronado said.

Coronado is a UPS driver. Ernie is a pitbull-terrier mix and was living in the Buffalo City Animal Shelter.

Coronado was never really planning on getting a dog, but then fate intervened on Oct. 5th. While he was delivering packages, Ernie literally jumped into his life.

CHEERS to United Parcel Service (UPS) delivery drivers Xavier Trombley and Corey Howe, who came to the aid of an 81-year-old New Russia resident who was experiencing medical issues.

When Trombley delivered a package to the elderly gentleman, he asked how he was feeling.

The customer told him he was feeling dizzy and was a diabetic. So Trombley called 911.

A Georgia woman was killed in a crash this morning on I-65 north in Clark County, Indiana.

According to police, she was a passenger in a minivan, that had to slow down to avoid hitting a tree, that had fallen across the interstate.

A UPS tractor trailer was behind the van and couldn’t stop in time. The truck rear ended the vehicle and pushed it into the guard rail.

A UPS driver is being praised after his act of kindness was caught on camera by a passing driver in Moore County, NC.

Dot Brower said she was driving through the Pinecrest Plaza Shopping Center in Southern Pines on Nov. 2 when she noticed the UPS driver had stopped his truck and was running down a grassy hill in the rain.

The driver, Brower said, had left his truck to help a man whose electric wheelchair had become stuck in the soggy ground.
