The Oregon State Haz- ardous Materials Response Team will lead the demonstra- tions, at 11:00 a.m., with all their elaborate equipment and well-trained personnel. At noon, a Life Flight helicopter will land, allowing attendees to visit with the crew and look inside. Other demonstrations will include a look at law enforcement tactical teams, boating safety tips, a bigger than ever fire suppres- sion event and a decontamina- tion exercise. The ever popular police dogs and taser demon- strations will continue to thrill the crowds. The American Red Cross will show off its feeding van and other response rigs while handing out cool bever- ages and snacks. Oregon State Police Sgt.

The Vernonia Police Depart- ment and several concerned citizens are starting a new safe- ty campaign called “Walk Your Wheels.” The “Walk Your Wheels” campaign is an effort to promote safety and to edu- cate everyone on the laws and ordinances governing bicycles, skateboards, roller-skates, and scooters. City Ordinance in Vernonia prohibits anyone on the above-mentioned wheeled transportation from riding on the sidewalks along Bridge St. from Rose Ave. to California Ave. as well as along Madison Ave. and Jefferson Ave. from Bridge St. to Maple Ave. We encourage everyone to “Walk Your Wheels” when in these ar- eas for Safety Sake of pedestri- ans, motorist, and of course yourself.
