hunger, provide opportunities to improve hygiene, and educate
our community of the importance of self-respect, and encour
age understanding of others, we will support nonprofits that
address these issues. Grant applications have been sent to
nonprofits and are due back by Jan. 14. The committee will
hold an awards ceremony in May to present grant money to
the selected nonprofit organizations. For information and

"It's not fun being on our side
of the equation," said Sheriff
Rasmussen who shared an ex
perience of finding’ a young
driver who had beeri ejected
from a vehicle.'This guy took
his last breath in my hands. I
don't want to have to notify
your parents that you've died."
In addition to serious injury
and death, some students
were surprised to learn that
distracted drivers could do se
rious jail- time. Sheriff Ras
mussen spoke in detail and
Open 10-4 Tues - Sat.
and a
2304 Broadway St, Baker City
Sandy Colton
provided a handout for their
reference which the Union
County District Attorney's Of
fice had prepared. Students
were paying attention and
asked pointed questions in
cluding why there is an exemp
tion for using a cell phone
while on farm equipment. Ras
mussen gave candid answers,
including to this one.
"Farmers have a lot of lobby
ing power and legislators likely
felt a great deal of lobbying
pressure," he stated.
Teen drivers are not the only
drivers distracted. Many adults
engage in risky, distracted driv
ing behaviors. Texting and driv
ing, sending emails, using
Facebook, eating, playing loud
music, leaning over to pick up
a dropped item, changing the
radio station, and being upset
are just some of the circum
stances which can cause a
driver to be distracted.
The take away? Keep your
eyes: on the road, your hands
on the wheel, and your head in
the game.
"The videos and the training
is something we require all of
our drivers to participate in. It's
a real eye opener and if it can
help save one life....it's totally
worth it," said Don McGinn.
McGinn Bros has received
numerous safety awards over
the last dqc.ade, including the
Grand Trophy in 200i7. The
Oregon Trucking Association
evaluates all of the entries and
gives the awards for the safest
trucking companies based on
the miles traveled.
