According to Morrison County Record, on an awful Saturday the local machine shop burned down to the ground. One good thing came from this disaster, a firefighter is being recognized for her quick actions. Grace Gutzkow reacted fast and saved a man's life.

During the month of October, 2008 we lost another fire fighter in a residential structure fire. The Victim was a 24 Y/O male fire fighter from Alabama who had been a volunteer with the department for two years. The firefighter training seemed to be standard for a new volunteer in the area which he served. As always it is tragic to lose a fire fighter and as always we try to learn from it.

We will begin setting up for the event at 8 a.m. on Thursday, July 28 at 601 Forest Ave. That time will be dedicated to food preparation, table setup, cleanup, etc… At 10 a.m., we will begin greeting and serving guests. This will continue until 10 a.m. on Friday, July 29. We are accepting volunteers anytime during the 24-hour. Moreover, we hope that volunteers can dedicate at least 2 hours per shift. However, you are welcome to stay as long as you like.

I would like to say thank you for everyone coming out to west tonight, either you’re supporting your daughter, Future Falcons, or Mrs. Sinksen, it doesn’t go unnoticed. So thank you once again. I would also like to talk a little bit about Mrs. Sinksen. First, I would like to say Mrs. Sinksen is one of the most kind hearted people I have met in my life. It hit me hard knowing that the unspeakable happened to her. Bad things happen to good people, it’s truly not fair. As i’ve been getting older I realized something about teachers. Teachers don’t only teach you a certain subject, but they teach you far more than that. Teachers believe in you from the start, the day you walk into their classroom, they already see a fire in you that you don’t see

There are no words to thank you enough for all you do for Preston and helping make him a “Hero”. We can not begin the thank you enough for the Hero Award you had made for Preston. We feel so honored and appreciate

Cathy Gernack, also known as my mom, is my hero because she satisfies many of the heroic qualities we discussed in class. She is brave, giving, and determined on a daily basis. She is currently employed as an Intensive Care Neonatal Nurse at Kaiser Permanente here in San Leandro. She was born and raised in Alberta, Canada. After she graduated from High School, she attended the University of Alberta and received her bachelor’s degree. In 1999, she was given an offer to move to Hawaii where she would be working at the Kaiser Permanente hospital in Honolulu. She graciously accepted the offer and brought my dad along with her as they started a new life in another country. On August, 26th 2000, I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. In 2002, my mom, my dad, and I moved to Boise, Idaho where my little brother was born. When I was four, we all moved here to San Leandro and have lived here ever since.

Thank you for helping us with all of our work. Words cannot express how much we appreciate you! Your big heart, and compassion have more impact on me than you can realize! Your lessons are gift I will always treasure! I will miss FCCLA very much! It is an honor for me to be a FCCLA member! Thank you for

We immediately began preparing ice chests of water for all the emergency response workers. Other members of our community have passed away and left loved ones to grieve. I always recommend taking food to those suffering such loss. A simple gesture as going to the mailbox for an elderly couple makes a great impact in the lives of those you are assisting. 4-H has taught me to to do what is right, what is needed, and not always what is expected.

I personally thank you for your generosity in giving me your Corps of Cadets Scholarship. My family and I are grateful for your Support

In this morning's parade people stood-up and applauded everyone in uniform, and this one child about 7-years old stood-up and yelled out Mommy look, its Air Force people and then saluted Colonel Hund our commander, it brought tears to my

For our service learning project we decided to work with American Red Cross to get the word out around campus about donating blood to help people in need. The American Red Cross embodies the power of volunteering and generosity for people in need. Before we could speak to students about giving blood we had to do it ourselves. On April 6th we took a trip to the American Red Cross to donate blood and experience what it takes to give blood. As soon as we walked into the building we meet a Western Michigan professor Paula P Chee that works at Red Cross. Our experience of giving blood was wonderful everyone at the drive was very passionate about helping others in need. For Alex and Ian this was his first time donating blood and was very nervous about it. The staff was very caring and made it a great first time experience for us.

Supervisors, thank you for the good work that the shifts and divisions are doing. Suicides are being documented and subjects flagged. You are working through some of the kinks in RMS (photographs..etc.) DWI enforcement, and solid police work. Some reminders as we go into the next year.

There are situations that impact your everyday life that’s when we call the “Firefighters”. Their lifestyle is risky, they serve the people. Firefighters truly deserve the respect and honor from the community, at the same time, this is a way of showing gratitude for their courage. The firefighter station that I visited was the fire department in San Fernando called “ Station 98”, and their agency is Los Angeles Fire Department, it has been around since 1886.

We donated our time to a charity during the fall, the JROTC program decided to do the Mana Cafe to help those in need. It was a food drive and people would help gather food together to deliver it to families that needed it for the winter. Everyone was pitching together and doing their part to get the food together and in the people’s car. Even in the cold weather, everyone was having fun, knowing that they were doing excellent in their hearts. Therefore that day families were allowed to eat despite their economic struggle and all as a result of the service we did to help them.

     After visiting some actual fire departments, I realized as a firefighter you certainly have a lot to be proud of. It’s not your average job and does require quite a bit of organization to stay on top of everything. Everyday you have to be ready and prepared for just about anything that can happen. You never know what kinds
