Anyone interested in a career as
a firefighter, or perhaps just a well
paying summer job, should look
into wildland firefighting.
“FRP 130 is the introductory
course. Any student can take that
course who is interested in fire
fighting. There are no prerequi
sites,” said Thomas Laugle, applied
technology department chair.
Any student interested in learn
ing this skill should know that the
class is recognized not only by the
state, but nationally as well.

CAMPAIGN RALLY!
Official Campaign Kickoff
Meet Sgt Jerry VeraCruz,
a 23-year veteran of CCSO.
Get his answers to
these vital questions:
☆ Why are there approximately 8,000 outstanding arrest
warrants not served in Clackamas County?
☆ Why are there 100 empty beds available at Clackamas
County Jail yet there are daily releases due to “overcrowding”?
☆ Do you live in the Enhanced Service District? If so, why
are you paying 72 cents per $1000 (home value) for Enhanced
Sheriff Patrol, when there is NO additional Enhanced Patrol?
☆ What did the current Performance Audit of the Clackamas I
County Sheriffs Department reveal about the condition of the
Department, besides “...poor systems of accountability...no
accountability to the public...and needing a substantial overhaul”?
