4-H Search and Rescue Cadets receive presidential praise and award
Members of the Warm Springs
and Jefferson County 4-H Search
and Rescue Cadet programs meet at
least once a week, striving to develop
and maintain skills that can be used
as adults. That work, which began in
1987, has earned the Warm Springs
cadets and their Jefferson County
counterparts praise and honor from
many individuals, including the
President of the United States.
The selection by the President
came after Congressman Bob Smith
nominated the group for the award.
Program leader Keith Baker was
informally notified of the award De
cember 18. He was told the cadets
would receive either a recognition
from the President or be presented
the President's "Annual Point of
Light Award". Formal notification
by the President was received in late
December.
The Warm Springs cadets to re
ceive the President's award are Frank
Brunoe, Rain Circle, Joseph Scott,
Jr. and Louis Smith in addition to
program leader Keith Baker.
In his letter, President Bush said,
"I was delighted to learn of your
outstanding work in behalf of your
community. Your generosity and
willingness to serve others merit the
highest praise, and I am pleased to
recognize you as the 653rd "Daily
Point of Light.
Since taking of flee as President,
I have urged all Americans to make
community service central to their
lives and work. Judging by your
active engagement in helping others,
it is clear that you understand this
obligation.

training in swift water rescue, CPR,
first aid and wilderness survival in
conjunction with the Jefferson
County program. Since June of 1990
the cadets have completed 1 2 rescue
missions, including tracking miss
ing persons, recovering bodies and
scoping murder scenes. They work
jointly with local police and other
rescue agencies when called upon to
perform missions. According to
Baker, the tangible and intangible
skills mastered by the cadets often
give them the background, experi

succeed regardless of their chosen

WSFPI trucking division shut down;
changes cause confusion, frustration
The most recent changes at Warm
Springs Forest Products Industries
have created even more confusion
and frustration among employees.
The changes have also created inse
curity among employees. Many are
wondering when and where the axe
will fall next.
Trucking foreman Jack Towe was
told by consultants Clyde Hamstreet
and Brent Stumbaugh on December
23 that the trucking division would
be reduced to two trucks for local
hauling, the foreman, one driver and
four mechanics. All trucking has been
contracted to an independent truck
ing firm in Troutdale, Walsh and
Sons Trucking. The result was the
lay off of four drivers and one me
chanic. Two other drivers, Don
Sohappy and Vcmon Spino, will be
absorbed into other mill operations.
