Cannon Beach, Oregon CCB#199205 “The board and I are look- ing out for citizens,” he said. “If something happens, it only takes one individual to not do the right thing and ruin it for everyone else and the district.” Benedict said making the change was one step toward “cleaning up” and aligning policy with the state. “This area is one of the last agencies I think in the state that go directly to the scene instead of the ire station,” Benedict said. “We just need to start moving forward.” Board member Bob Cerel- li said ireighters asked him about the new policy. “Part of the beauty of our system is quick response, and some of that quick response is personal vehicles,” Cerelli said. Special Districts Associa- tion of Oregon recommended to disallow personal vehicle use years ago, Benedict said. The policy would not signii- cantly affect ire call response times. Personal vehicles, espe- cially with lights, could con- fuse tourists, he added.

The ire district had its irst water rescue team drill of the year in July, with ireighters taking turns rescuing a dum- my from the ocean. At the Arch Cape ire sta- tion, ireighters completed Life Flight training to learn to safely land a helicopter. Before retiring, former Captain Mark Morgan in- structed rope rescue training. Rescue efforts paid off July 14 as ireighters, life- guards, police and the Coast Guard teamed to rescue an individual stranded on a rock at high tide. In June, the station re- sponded to 26 EMS calls, nine ire calls and one rescue call for a broken ankle at In- dian Beach. Fireighters also assisted with a Hamlet struc- tural ire. Oicers elected Board oficers were elect- ed at the July 11 meeting, the irst of the iscal year. All of- icers were re-elected: presi- dent Sharon Clyde, vice-pres- ident and secretary Garry Smith, and treasurer Linda Beck-Sweeney. In April, the oficers’ positions were sub- jected to a recall vote follow- ing the dismissal of former Fire Chief Mike Balzer. The recall failed. The ire station’s 25-year- old roof may need complete replacement soon. Moisture has been coming from the ceiling and walls, Benedict said, and the station will look into hiring a roofer and con- tractor.

Elaine Bruce Executive director, Clatsop Community Action Astoria Torture not funny To the people of Cannon Beach: Recently I visited your city. Although there is, in gen- eral, a welcoming atmosphere I had an unfortunate experience in the parking lot of one of the city’s restaurants. I am hope- ful you will see it as a serious matter you need to confront if it continues in your midst. There was a car in the parking lot with two signs on it. One, on the bumper, only presents a problem of civility. It said “Up yours Hillary Clin- ton.” The other was different: it said “I love waterboarding.” That required a response, so I wrote a brief note, but he was gone before I could give it to him, or leave it on his car. This is the note, and I hope it will produce some thoughtful consideration in the Cannon Beach community. The note read as follows: I stand in awe, and I am humbled. I did not know any- one could display such mali- cious ignorance. Your lack of civility undermines what so many have sacriiced in our courts, and on battleields to secure for all of us. When wa- terboarding becomes “due pro- cess of law,” we sink to the lev- el of the very totalitarians we have faced so often. You might read the Bill of Rights as a place to begin your education.
