Members of Dallas Fire & EMS participate in the time-honored tradition of “pushing” its new medic unit into service
during a dedication ceremony on Friday. New ambulances and fire trucks are pushed into vehicle bay at the beginning
of their lifespan. The new unit arrived in early August and has since responded to numerous calls for service.
MI TOWN
It’s really difficult to con-
centrate on those necessary
chores such as cleaning and
dusting and even fighting
that pesky mole that has left
yet another mound of dirt
overnight in the garden and
flower beds (usually the
mole wins), when the gor-
geous blue skies and warm
late summer days lure us to
things like long walks and
the opportunity to chat
with a good friend. Most of
us in MI Town are enjoying
this wonderful time of year
by enjoying football games

to the coast or a favorite
campsite while we can
enjoy the warm days and
cool evenings.

MONMOUTH — The Polk County Board of Commissioners
awarded the city of Monmouth a $5,000 grant to help pay for a
Resource Assistance for Rural Environments Program tourism de-
velopment coordinator.
The coordinator will be working with the Polk County Rural
Tourism Studio to promote tourism in the county, particularly
the August 2017 eclipse of the sun.
The board voted on Sept. 6 to award the grant. Other re-
sources for the position include $11,000 from Travel Oregon and

said. “I think we should support it.”

DALLAS — Dallas Fire & EMS received a $25,000 grant to re-
place extrication equipment.
The grant, awarded by the Spirit Mountain Community Fund,
will purchase new tools for the city’s rescue engine and South-
west Polk Rural Fire Protection’s engine housed at its Rickreall
Fire Station.
Of the 130 citizens who required medical attention following a
vehicle accident in 2015, 10 percent of them required extrication
to be freed, according to Dallas Fire & EMS.
Auto extrication tools the department now owns are no
longer serviceable by the manufacturer. Those tools couldn’t be
replaced if they malfunctioned.
