Former Utah fire chief
fills spot in Eugene
■ Thomas Tallon was hired
last month and comes with
a good record of service
from Salt Lake City
By Brian Goodell
Oregon Daily Emerald
City Manager Jim Johnson ap
pointed Thomas Tallon as Eu
gene’s next Fire and Emergency
Medical Services (EMS) Chief late
last month. Tallon is set to begin
his new job Jan. 18, relocating from
Salt Lake City where he served as
fire chief for the last five years.
Lauren Chouinard, director of
human resources and risk services
for Eugene, traveled to Salt Lake
City with Eugene Fire Department
Sgt. Frank Bone to conduct an ex
tensive background check of Tal
lon prior to his hiring.
“I felt he had very strong creden
tials as a leader,” Chouinard said.
“He’s a change agent—very innov
ative and very creative. I saw that he
was a very compassionate person
with the people he worked with. ”
While Eugene might seem like a
step down from a larger service
area like Salt Lake City, Chouinard
said Tallon, who is still in Salt
Lake City and was unavailable for
comment, was excited to take over
the fire department in Eugene.
“He likes the Northwest and
wants to live here, and he wanted
more of a direct impact on the
community that he serves,”
Chouinard said. “He was very pos
itive about our organization. He
felt like Eugene was an ideal place
to make things happen and actu
ally see the fruits of his labor.”
Tallon’s appointment comes af
ter the resignation ot Chiet Leonard
Cooke in 1998, and the termination
of Chief Bill Bass in 1999.
Phil Weiler, spokesman for the
City Manager’s office, said Tallon
was recently removed as chief in
Salt Lake City although his termi
nation, Weiler said, had nothing to
do with his performance as chief.
Tallon has been with the Salt
Lake City Fire Department since he
began his career as a firefighter and
Emergency Medical Technician in
1974 and has been chief since 1995.
Tallon has a Bachelor of Arts de
gree from the University of
Phoenix in Salt Lake City and also
holds an associate’s degree in Ap
plied Fire Science. He is a gradu
ate of the Executive Officer Pro
gram from the National Fire
Academy and attended the Senior
Executives in State and Local Gov
ernment program at Harvard Uni
versity’s John F. Kennedy School
of Government.
As chief in Salt Lake City, Tal
lon was responsible for leading a
full-service fire and emergency
medical service operation consist
ing of 354 employees with an an
nual budget of $25 million. The
Eugene Fire and EMS Department
has 200 employees and a budget of
$18 million.
“In doing our background
checks, Chief Tallon has been de
scribed as a bright, capable indi
vidual with excellent fire com
mand skills,” Johnson said. “He is
passionate about fire service, has
a participative management style,
and is a strong believer in an edu
cated, well-trained labor force. I
am pleased to have him join the
City’s department director team.”
Retired Oregon geology
professor dies at age 79
■ William Holser’s public
memorial service will be
Jan. 9 at Knight Library
By Darren Freeman
Oregon Daily Emerald
Professor emeritus William T.
“Bill” Holser, a prominent geo
chemist, died in his Eugene home
Dec. 25 of complications from
Parkinson’s disease at age 79.
The public memorial service, to
be held Jan. 9 at 2 p.m. in the Brows
ing Room of the Knight Library,“ is
n’t going to be a black mourning but
a positive celebration of his life,”
Holser’s son, Thomas, said. “He
said he wanted it to be a party”
Holser, who taught geology, had
a distinguished career as a re
search geochemist. His most well
known work involved studying
the Earth’s prehistoric atmospher
ic changes. He published more
than 100 scientific papers, and his
work is often cited.
While earning his bachelor’s and
master’s degrees from the California
Institute of Technology, Holser
served in World War II with the
Navy as a lieutenant commander.
After receiving his Ph.D. from Co
lumbia University, Holser worked
for Chevron Oil Field Research
from 1958 to 1970, when he joined
the University faculty. Though he
retired in 1986, he continued his re
search and kept his office at the
University.
“He was well known in many
fields,” retired geology professor
Alexander McBirney said. “He
was a scientist of the old style, a
person with broad interests who
wasn’t so specialized that he lost
sight of the world around him.”
In addition to reading scientific
articles in English, French, Span
ish, German and Russian, Holser
enjoyed backpacking and taking
photographs, some of which he
sold at Eugene’s Saturday Market,
Thomas said.
“He was interested in every
thing from music to art to really
advanced science, and he liked
people,” geology professor Dana
Johnston said. “He was a real Re
naissance man.”
Memorial contributions can be
made to the University Depart
ment of Geological Sciences
speakers fund.
