Jim Brouillette's widow, Betty, helped to celebrate the formal dedication of the new Public Safety Training Center. The training center was named after Brouillette, who died in late 1996 due to complications from cancer. The Print wins three awards TONI MCMICHAEL / Clackamas Print • The new training center will cater to law officers and ordinary citizens alike. The center will officially open in late May or early June. LAURA ARMSTRONG Staff Writer Family, friends and former colleagues gathered April 28 for the dedication of the James T. Brouillette Public Safety Training Center (PSTC) at 12700 S.E. 82nd Av enue in Clackamas. Approximately 100 well-dressed people gathered in a newly-carpeted room with windows to view the ten stalls of the new shooting range. This extension of the college will be open to the public to pro vide firearms training. “James Brouillette had a vision to provide a training center,” said Susan Chandler, range training officer. Ac cording to Chandler, the fruits of that vision will hope fully be more visible when the PSTC opens in late May or early June. The center is caught in a standstill before it officially opens as it awaits several inspections. The facility will be taking its safety precautions to the highest limits in order to eliminate accidents. “Ear and eye protection is going to be mandatory on the Volume XXXI, Issue 21 range,” Chandler said. “ You have to wear earmuffs, not the other soft ones that you put in your ears. The main reason for that is when we’re in the range room and we’re trying to check the deck to make sure everyone has ear and eye protection, we can’t check everybody’s ears to see if they’ve got the soft ones in, so we’re mandating that everybody has to have the ear muffs. That way we can guarantee that everybody out there is wearing their ear and eye protection.” All guns brought into the training center must be put into cases. If individuals do not have cases for their weap ons they will be provided. This ensures that people walk ing around the building will not have any open firearms. In addition to this rule, shooters will be required to view an instructional video. Once finished, the individual must pass a 12-question test with a score of at least 80%. The center is firmly grounded in their goal to maintain a safe educational facility. “We have clean-fire ammo which means we have very little lead particles floating around out there. Another safety pre caution that the RTOs (range training officers) take is hav ing our blood tested every year to make sure that the See PSTC, page 3 The Clackamas Print came home from the Oregon News paper Publishers’ Association’s Collegiate Day last Friday with three awards for journalistic excellence, including first place in the feature writing category for a story by Print staff writer Robert Schoenberg.
