Bretthauer keeps service station operating after major oil company pulls out
When Union 76 removed
their franchise from Vernonia
because the station apparently
wasn’t large enough, many res-
idents worried that it would
close.
Fortunately, the competent
and friendly service provided
by the employees of Bretthauer
Oil Co., which owns the station,
continues. The photo at left is
of the new Bretthauer sign.

The schedule is not yet firm,
but the Vernonia CERT pilot
team is aiming for a starting
date in February of 2005, with
classes to be held in the truck
bays at the fire station. The
training will be free for the first
15 people who commit them-
selves to participating in the full
eight-week course. Once Ver-
nonia completes a successful
pilot course, we will attempt to
get additional grants (and local
sponsors) to help keep the pro-
gram going and provide it to
everyone who would like to be
involved.
Terri Nelson is coordinating
the CERT effort in Vernonia. If
you are interested in participat-
ing or would like more informa-
tion, call her at 503-429-9113,
