Page 18 The INDEPENDENT, April 6, 2006 Did You Know… By Chief Matthew Workman Vernonia Police Department As you can see from the blot- ter report t h e r e h a v e been nu- merous cases of vandalism that have occurred over the past couple of weeks. I had one person comment that “It’s that time of the year,” referring to Spring and the large number of people out and things getting dam- aged. I disagree! Whether it is mailboxes or metal fences, there is no time for this sense- less vandalism! But the act of vandalism that really bothers me is the duck being run up the memorial flag- pole. This was a slap in the face to all of the men and women who served our coun- try. Not to mention the cruelty to animals. If you have informa- tion on either of these crimes please call the VPD. I was approached by a Ver- nonia Volunteer Firemen ask- ing me to talk about vehicles failing to yield to fire apparatus. The fireman told me they have had several incidents on Hwy 47 where fire personnel were almost struck by traffic when drivers did not yield or did not show due caution when pass- ing a scene. Oregon ORS 811.145, 147, and 150 deal with yielding to emergency ve- hicles and driving near such ve- hicles. Please keep our fire- fighters, ambulance, and offi- cers safe when they are trying to save lives. A quick reminder that there will be a Bicycle Safety Event (Rodeo) on Saturday, April 29, 2006, at Vernonia Middle School. Look for more details in the next Independent.
