“It’s a great use of this
park to have a communi-
ty event like this,” Raschio
said. “I think it’s really cool
they’re doing this.”
One especially popular
booth was Veraci Pizza from
Bend.
Owner Cameron Jett said
they cook their pizza in a
mobile wood-fi red oven.
The oven burns apple wood
at about 700 degrees with
little smoke and can cook a
pizza in about two minutes,
according to Jett.
Parks and Rec board
member Lisa Weigum said
the district hosted the event
to start providing activities
for the under-served adult
demographic in the area.

“Part of our board dis-
cussions were to start ser-
vicing the adult community,
and we thought it would be
a great time to bring in some
live music, food and bever-
ages,” Weigum said.
She described the event
as a test run and said they
would consider future
events.
“If all goes well, we
would be open to the idea
of putting on events like this
over the course of the sum-
mer,” Weigum said.

HUNTING STORIES
has worked very hard to reach
out to communities to show
they really do care about pro-
viding quality, timely emer-
gency health care in Grant
County,” Howe said. “They
have listened to concerns,
worked to resolve past issues,
which in turn has fostered a
greater sense of enthusiasm
in the volunteer EMS base.
As some folk in the commu-
nities have noticed this resur-
gence of enthusiasm in the
ambulance volunteers, it has
prompted them to step up to
the plate and join the ranks of
emergency medical provid-
ers.”
Howe said Monument Fire
Department members Jeremy
Boyer, Quade Day, Pettit and
Jeff Schafer, as well as res-
idents Kristi Emerson, Brit-
tani Hayes, Nittaya Pettit and
Shawnah Schafer, can now
respond to calls in Monument.
She said Peter Case, Jen-
nifer Garinger and Ed Studt-
mann from the Long Creek
Fire Department and Tara and
Melody Holmes from Spray
also completed the class.
“This is a huge bonus for
our little communities,” she
said.
Rand said the hospital
hopes to host classes annual-
ly and would try to facilitate
classes in outlying areas if the
class numbers would support
it. She said a class is currently
being held in John Day with
more than 10 graduates ex-
pected.
Hospital CEO Derek Daly
said increasing the number
of people who could respond
to emergencies improved the
health system in the county.
“Any time we can have an
opportunity to offer a class
that strengthens our numbers
or increases access to care in
our county, it’s a good thing,”
Daly said.
