The Oregon Health Division is
helping rural emergency medical
technicians hone their skills
through a statewide, two-year
demonstration project.
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

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.

District 59 candidate Steve Uf-
felman visited with people at an
open house held Saturday, July
25 at Kate’s Pizza in Heppner.
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-

Oregon entered in the 1992
Umatilla County Feedlot steer
and carcass futurity.
Steers were officially weighed
in at C and B Feedlot near Her-
miston on December 17, follow
ing a warm-up period. The

tage of 65.

ment for the monies lost.
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.

Helen Riehl of Heppner receives an award from Tech
Sergeant Patrick Branded USAF, in recognition of Helen’s sup
port for the military.
Only 24 of the awards are given each year to people in six western
states, said Branded.
He said Riehl was honored because of her support of the military
during Desert Storm, and her two sons who served in the Air Force
and the Army.
During Desert Storm Helen placed yellow ribbons on the wall of
the R&W Drive In, which she and her husband Tom own, bearing
the names of all the local young men serving in the Gulf.
One of her sons, Rick served in the Army and was part of Desert
Storm. Another son Bob served in the Air Force, and she also has
another son T.R. who is a senior at Heppner High School.
“ She is a strong supporter of the Military,” said Branded, an Air
Force recruiter stationed in Walla Walla. “ And this is our way of
showing our appreciation.”
