The Health Division, with financial support from the Economic Development Fund and the Oregon Traffic Safety Division has developed a mobile training unit to bring continuing education programs to rural EMTs. To qualify for the pro gram an area must be at least 30 miles from a community college, have no physicians or no hospital. Charles Kelly, EMT IV, who is project coordinator for the pro gram, conducted a training ses sion with the mobile training unit at Pioneer Memorial Hospital on Monday, July 27, for Heppner and lone EMTs and hospital and clinic personnel. The mobile unit is a 1992 Dodge Power Wagon “ turbo diesel” pickup trick with a canopy and a 20-foot Wells Cargo trailer. Seven learning sta tions, with “ touch screen” com puter technology allow courses to be delivered to 14 students at a time. In teams of two, EMTs may take a complete course in “ pediatric respiratory emergen cies,” “ airway management” or “ trauma assessment.” A wide variety of conventional training equipment, including the “ Crash Kelly” manikin, an automobile extrication simulator and spinal immobilization equipment, allow for hands-on training. The mobile unit and equipment were purchased with $140,000 Oregon Lottery funds, via the Health D ivision, Oregon Economic Development and the Department of Higher Education. The Oregon Traffic Safety Divi sion provided a grant of $75,000 to underwrite the personnel and adm inistrative costs of the program. Program coordinator Charles Kelly, an experienced EMT and emergency medical services educator, has served as EMS coordinator for the Molalla Fire Department, and as instructor for a variety of EMS education pro grams. He is a graduate of the ad vanced paramedic education pro gram at Oregon Health Sciences U niversity and served his paramedic internship with the city o f Los Angeles Emergency Medical Services.

Uffleman stopped in Heppner to discuss the issues with local citizens. “ The focus of my campaign,” commented Uffelman, “ is to redirect the government back to the local level. Tax dollars spent locally on local government are far more efficient. Local people can determine what they want and what they don’t want. They know what they need and can fund it if given the opportunity.” “ We have to get back to the basic question,” continued Uf felman. “ What does the state need to provide? The government can ’t be everything to everybody.” Uffelman, who is mayor of Prineville, said that Ballot Measure 5 “ has not been suc cessful in reducing the costs as it was touted to do,” but added that the government needs a replace- Kirk & Robinson Trail ride steer tops futurity rescheduled A crossbred steer entered by Kyle Robinson of Kirk and Robinson Ranches topped 55 head of steers from Eastern Oregon entered in the 1992 Umatilla County Feedlot steer and carcass futurity.

Discussing the options-sales tax, property tax and income tax- Uffelman said he did not favor a sales tax. “ I don’t support a sales tax,” he said, “ because the peo ple in District 59 are so opposed to a sales tax,” and that a proper ty tax might discourage businesses from locating in Oregon. “ We need incentives to get businesses to locate in Oregon and stay in Oregon, income (tax) is probably the way we’re going to go.” Uffelman, 46, also discussed renovation of the health care system to provide more affor dable health care and renovation of the social welfare program to provide more incentives for peo ple to get training to enable themselves to get off the system. Uffelman, a pharmacist at Pioneer Memorial Hospital at Prineville said that he was in favor of term limitations. “ I don’t like the idea of people becoming life-long politicians,” he said.
