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.
