Show SPANISH FORK WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2009 • A5 Covering ivhat matters most Scouts paint Woodland Hills fire station Hilarie Orman STAFF WRITER The new Woodland Hills city building has a lot of surfaces, upstairs in the offices, downstairs in the fire station and around the exterior. At least five Eagle Scout projects have graced the building with much-needed surface protection, according to scout leader Bill Dunaway. When the fire department needed painters for the downstairs, it was Boy Scouts to the rescue with Jace Walker's "painting party" on March 17,2009. A bright red sign on the fire station door invited people to the painting party on Tuesday evening. Armed with rollers on poles, six scouts addressed the plywood covering on the concrete walls. They showed their mettle with gallons of off-white primer paint, brightening the rough interior of the garage that houses the fire department's pride and joy, the custombuilt pumper truck. "We had a lot of fun, and we finished the whole area in just one evening," said Walker. And it appears that very little of the 15 gallons of paint went home on the boys. "We had to be careful around the trucks," said Walker, who wants to be a voice actor or photographer in the future. Bill Dunaway has developed quite a string of Eagle Scouts over the past year, supervising about 10 young men. The city building has been the focus of four other Eagle Scout community service painting projects: doorframes, posts, bollards, external wood, shelves and benches. These were the handiwork of Peter Deardeuff, Will Farley and Robby Self. Councilman Bob Fisher said that all the work is "first class" and constitutes an important contribution to the city. The hundreds of hours that they've given have saved the residents thousands of dollars in an era of declining revenue, but beyond that, Fisher hopes that the scouts will recognize their own place in the city's history for many years to come.
