Did You Know…
By Chief Mathew Workman
Vernonia Police Department
I hope
everyone
enjoyed
the fish-
ing, mu-
sic, fire-
works,
and fun
at
the
KUPL Fishing Derby and con-
cert. Remember that Cycle
Oregon is in town this weekend
with a large contingent of rid-
ers. Please use extra caution
when driving, riding, or walking
in and around the Vernonia
area. Vernonia is a great com-
munity and we welcome every-
one to experience safe and re-
sponsible events.
I recently received a flyer
from the Oregon Attorney Gen-
eral’s office that I would like to
share details from. The flyer
applauds the legislature for
restoring the authority to en-
force Oregon’s “Do Not Call”
Law. Senate Bill 117 authorizes
the Department of Justice to
enforce against violators of the
National Do Not Call Registry.
Oregon DOJ reports that Ore-
gonians registered over 1.6 mil-
lion numbers and filed over
15,000 complaints in 2006. SB
117 will allow a maximum
penalty of $25,000 per viola-
tion. You can learn more about
SB 117 by visiting www.leg.
state.or.us/bills_laws/.
The American Red Cross
now offers a new website
called “Safe and Well” that can
be used during a disaster to no-
tify people you are safe. The
website provides a way to reg-
ister yourself “safe and well” if
you have been affected by a
disaster. Concerned family and
friends can search the list of
those who have registered
themselves as “safe and well.”
The results of a successful
search will display a loved
one’s First Name, Last Name,
an “As of Date”, and the “safe
and well” messages selected.
The website can be located
and utilized at <https://disas
tersafe.redcross.org/>.
If you have ideas for my arti-
cle please contact me at the
station, call 503-429-7335, or
email me at chief@vernonia-or.
gov. I will do my best to address
the ideas in future papers.
