10 Wednesday, January 20, 2021 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon A N N O U N C E M E N T S PHOTO BY KATY YODER Deputy Clark Linden and Corporal Jason Pollock met with Bethanne Kronick Blann at Black Butte School, where school children will honor Dave Blann through an essay contest. BLANN: BBS students invited to write essays to remember deputy Continued from page 3 much he loved his job. He loved taking care of our community and he took his work really seriously. <But,= she added, <He also loved to have fun. He had three rules that he lived by: First, have fun. Second, make someone smile, and; third, see rule number one.= Deputy Dave served Camp Sherman for 24 years. He passed away on February 15, 2019. Bethanne told the students that on snowy days during the winter months, her husband9s morning began at 3 a.m. when he climbed up into a big yel- low snowplow and cleared the road so the school bus could safely pick up and deliver students to school and back. Keeping every- one safe was one of his big- gest priorities. He was such a beloved member of the community that the Camp Sherman Road was dedi- cated to him with a plaque just off Highway 20. Sharp said Deputy Dave9s relationship with the Camp Sherman students was a special one. <He really enjoyed work- ing and interacting with the kids. His tone would change and he could talk in kid lan- guage making them com- fortable,= said Sharp. <He made it kind of light for the kids and put them at ease. It was cool to see that side of him. My last interaction with him was with the kids, the week before he passed. We were coming back from a ski day and our bus driver, Bob, saw Deputy Dave. They were friends from way back. Deputy Dave got on the school bus and was jok- ing with Bob giving him a hard time and telling the kids to keep an eye on him to make sure he was follow- ing all the rules and keep- ing them safe. The feel of that interaction was so posi- tive and fun with the kids all laughing. It was so fun watching Dave razzing Bob and Bob razzing him back. It was a razz fest!= Sadly, the following week Sharp had to break the news of Deputy Dave9s death to his students. <It was one of the hardest conversations I9ve ever had to have with the kids,= he said. <Some were as young as 5. They all knew who Dave was.= The Deputy Dave Memorial Essay Contest is open to all Black Butte School students. They are invited to write an essay in letter format, along with an illustration, to Deputy Dave that describes an experience they have had with a deputy or law enforcement officer that positively impacted them or their community. They can also write about why they think officers like Deputy Dave are important to the community. The letters are due February 1. One student will be selected based on his or her letter. On February 17, the winner will receive an award. All participants will receive something special to remember Deputy Dave.
