Boardman gets ambulance
An ambulant service is
about to start at Boardman.
Emergency Medical Techni
cians (EMTs) have banded
together in the small but
rapidly growing community to
bring the city its first ambu
lance service.
The vehicle ia expected to
arrive any day.
"We have needed some
thing like this for years and
years." said EMT Gunner
Skoubo, Boardman. "I ean't-
aay how great it feels that it's
really coming."
LL Crant Ather of the
He rmiston Police Department
has already given 15 Board
man residents EMT training.
"We're similar to para
medics but not so involved,"
Skoubo said in explaining the
function of an EMT. "Our
training is in assisting an
injured person and transport
ing him until we can get to a
doctor."
"We're not trained for
intravenoua injections," said
Skoubo. "Rather we're involv
ed in taking blood pressure
and respiration, judging injur
ies and giving cardto pulmon
ary and mouth tomouth re
suscitation when needed. We
are there to austain life and
make a person comfortable
until a doctor can take over."
EMTs will be providing the
service with the aid of a
service with the aid of county
financing. Most of the hospital
cases will be Uken to hermis
ton. A charge for the use of
the ambulance is being pro
posed, similar to the Hermis
lon ambulance ee. EMTs will
work n a volunUry basis.
"The city fathers are again
at this idea because they are
afraid of the city be ins sued."

Skoubo said. "But as long as
we don't charge for our
services suing us wouldn't do
anyone any good. We are
working on the good Samari
tan law. We won't be doing
anything we haven't beea
trained for."
Presently the two ambu
lances in the area are station
ed 60 miles apart, one ia
Hermistoa and the other at
Heppner.
"Now that distance will be
cut in half." Skoubo noted.
"Right now it Ukes aa ambu

urged to sign all their tickets.
Tickets will be given until noon, December 22. Thrtt
drawings will fake place over the next three weeks. The
first will be December U, followed by drawings on the 11th
and 22nd.
Winners will be notified and prizes will be in the form of
gift certificates, spendable at any or all of the participating
merchants' businesses.
On December 11, more than $150 will be given In drawing
priies. There will be a first place prize of $50, two prizes of
S2S and six prizes of $10. The same amounts will be given
on December II and on December 22, $119 in cash prizes

In addition to the shopping spree brought to local patrons
