Joanie Best believes she was made to be an emergency services dispatcher. And now she believes the years she’s spent building a career in that difficult field has made her a perfect choice to lead Crawford County into its 911 consolidation process.
“I love it. Dispatch is me. And for 12 years it’s been me,” said Best. “If I had a chance to work overtime, I was there. I love being in the thick of it.”
Best jumped back into the thick of it on June 28 when she was hired as Crawford County’s 911 Communications Director.
In one final act to honour the man they called The Beast, Maroochydore Swans Rugby League Club have temporarily retired the number 8 jersey worn by Dale Best. Mr Best was farewelled on Sunday morning at the Swans clubhouse with hundreds of green and white faithful turning out to show their respects to the big man. He was remembered for his unwavering support to friends and family, his genuine kindness, his smile and for simply being a force of nature on the field. Mr Best s life was suddenly cut short while playing the game he loved above all others. The same game he started way back in under-9s.
