Page 18 The INDEPENDENT, July 19, 2007 Did You Know… By Chief Mathew Workman Vernonia Police Department A s you may h a v e read in the blot- ter, the Vernonia Police Depart- ment assisted with the rescue of a 14 year-old female who was injured after falling approx- imately 60 ft. from the Linear Trail to the creek below. I first want to commend Officer Jeff Dalrymple for locating the girl, attempting to get to her, then communicating with her until the Metro West Ambulance and the Vernonia Fire Department arrived.

Lastly, I want to commend the Vernonia Fire Department on their actions to secure the girl then, working as a team, to bring her up the ravine to safe- ty and the ambulance which took her to the awaiting Life- Flight helicopter. The team of volunteer firemen out on the scene worked together to bring that girl to safety using their ad- equate but less-than-stellar equipment. The citizens of the Vernonia Rural Fire Protection District should be proud of the men and women who volunteer and serve this area. I recently received a notice from the Department of Motor Vehicles that they are initiating changes to the driver licenses and ID cards. The cards will now be centrally issued and you will not receive an over- the-counter card but instead a temporary paper interim permit. The new cards feel different and are made with different plastic. The text is clearer and more vibrant as well as having enhanced security features that make it more difficult to coun- terfeit. The biggest change will be the use of “facial recogni- tion” software that checks all photos on file (including other interim card photos that day) to ensure against giving duplicate Please see page 21 DALE WOODWORKING N I A .CO NT U O General Contractor • Excavating • Septic Systems • Site Prep • Trenching • Ponds M M Service Directory C ABINET D ESIGN & M ANUFACTURING S INCE 1976 J OEL T EMPLIN CCB #43965 503-429-5436 V ERNONIA , O R 97064 Office 503-429-5504 Cell 503-475-5442 PO.
