Escape the hustle and bustle aboard the Lewis Clark Explorer Train coming up in this Sunday's FAMILY LEISURE Dream pizza sliced its generosity thick I would like to thank American Dream pizza's owners, managers and workers for their consistent generosity to this community. In the past, they have donated pizza to charity events.
For instance, two years ago they helped out when Vina Moses had a work party to restore the damaged and stolen Christmas gifts.) More recently, they allowed a group of high school students to film a movie at their rant, both during and after business hours. It was quite a leap of faith, considering the energy of the filmmakers! That film took on a special meaning when one of the young actors died shortly after the film was finished. American Dream made it possible for the movie to "premiere" at the restaurant on a recent Friday night. Thank you, American Dream, for putting up with the crowds and for helping a lot of young people realize that they are an important part of the commu- nity. Kerry McFall Corvallis Vehicles enable lifesaving class In May, volunteer firefighters from Philomath Fire Rescue put in more than 30 hours of training in the field of vehicle extrication; this was in addition to the regular hours they'd put in for weekly drills in firefighting and medical activities.
Philomath Fire Rescue has recently started a team of rescue technicians who compete against other fire and rescue agencies from around the region. They rescue entrapped or injured persons from motor vehicles following a traffic accident. These competitions strengthen a department's rescue skills through innovation, practice and teamwork. All this cannot be done without the use of real automobiles for firefighters to enhance their skills. Philomath Fire Rescue's Volunteers and its extrication team members wish to thank Larry Rhodes and Auto Wrecking and Towing for their generous contribution.
By providing cars to the rescue teams and for the use of their facility, they assist in improving firefighter skills in the field of vehicle rescue practices and giving us the opportunity to provide the highest level of care for citizens within the Philomath Fire District and for the Districts they support.
