• So in honor of Na-
tional Police Week I
thought I would share a
little story.
Last week a man
crashed his vehicle
on I-84. My husband
covered the crash. The
man was okay but his
dog was hurt and had to
go to the vet.
He was not from
Oregon and now had no
vehicle. The crash had
happened that morning.
My husband and I had
lunch together and were
sitting in my offi ce, as
he started to leave he
saw this man walking
down the sidewalk.
He called him over
and asked how he was.
He said he was okay
but his dog had to stay
the night at the vet for
observation.
He asked to borrow a
phone to call his mother
since his phone was
broken in the crash.
He was sore, tired,
The
still shaken and looked
a little lost. He was un-
able to reach his mom
but my husband got
back on the phone and
started making calls.
He got a hold of the
Community Connection
offi ce and told them the
guy’s story.
They agreed to feed
the man and put him up
in a motel for the night
since it would be at the
least the next day before
he could get his dog and
someone could come
and get him.
So my husband gave
him a ride across town
to the Community Con-
nection offi ce and they
took it from there.
It’s the little things
that make the world a
better place. This act
of kindness meant the
world to this man. Just
because they wear a
badge does not mean
they stop having com-
passion. I would say
this is an act of going
the extra mile.
I know this is a small
story and won’t make
the news but it made me
smile and I thought it
was well worth sharing.
• Just want to send a
shout out to my awe-
some brother.
He stopped on
the freeway to pull a
woman and child out of
the wreckage of a car,
the car of which was
already on fi re. Other
people had already
stopped and were taking
pictures and video of
the scene on their cell
phones but made no ef-
fort to help the woman
(who was severely in-
jured and unable to exit
the vehicle) and child.
My brother suffered
minor, albeit painful,
burns on his hands and
ruined his Army issued
cammies with blood and
singeing while moving
the injured woman to
safety moments before
the vehicle became fully
engulfed in fl ame.
I’m so proud to call
this man and active duty
soldier my brother.
Many have tried,
many have faltered but
not my brother.
He did the best he
could when he had no
obligation to do so. He
stopped to help some-
one he didn’t know, and
who meant nothing to
him personally, even
though he was in a
hurry to get home to his
wife and children.
• We were at the
Sumpter Flea Market
on Sunday at one of
the picnic tables having
vendor food when our
pre-school-age daughter
dropped her plastic fork
on the dirty ground.
We told her she
couldn’t use it again. In
about 10 seconds, an-
other black plastic fork
was right in front of her.
At the other end of the
fork was a young man
with brown hair and a
yellow City of Sumpter
Staff T-shirt. He’d
watched the incident
and almost instantly
helped. Made our day!
