Park City Fire District employees Scott Greenwood and Steve Boyd have been selected as Park City Medical Center's "EMS Crew of the Quarter" for their recent work during a dramatic and highprofile trench-collapse rescue in Prospector. Both men are part of an elite operations team and specially trained in trench-collapse rescue. "These two individuals are deserving of this award because of the commitment and caring they showed during this particular rescue effort. Not only did they willingly put themselves in danger to save a life, their actions in the trench helped reassure the patient, kept him calm and ultimately helped prevent any long-term in- juries," says Bob Zanetti, assistant fire chief with Park City Fire District. Despite being singled out for their heroic actions, both men insist it was a team effort, and the rescue was only successful because of the other 16 Park City Fire District personnel backing them up. "We played a very small part in a very big operation. Our part just happened to be in the spotlight," notes Boyd. Scott Greenwood echoes that sentiment, saying: "We might have played the role of quarterbacks in this rescue, but if it hadn't been for a strong offensive line, we couldn't have been successful. Everyone contributed." Both men also credit the extensive training they receive for the rescue's success, noting that while trench collapses are rare, they train for them frequently. "It's a lowfrequency, high-risk situation. We have to always be ready, no matter how seldom something like this occurs," adds Greenwood. "We feel so fortunate to be able to operate a hospital in a community with such professional and caring EMS staff. In the midst of the storm of human tragedy, they are the calming voice of reassurance," notes Park City Medical Center CEO Rob Allen. "We are proud to have people like Steve and Scott as our partners in emergency care. Their actions are what this award is about." Three armed men rob Park City home Park City At approximately 1 a.m., on July 15, three masked suspects entered a residence in the Jeremy Ranch area of Summit County and robbed the occupants at gun point.

Emergency watershed protection funding announced for Summit County The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has announced that $5 million in Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) funding is now available to help restore public infrastructure and private property along the Weber River and Beaver Creek in Summit County near Oakley and Kamas. During the week of June 5, land and structural damages resulted from flooding caused by heavy rain on melting snow that was considered a 100 year event. The Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Program was set up by Congress to respond to emergencies created by natural disasters, such as the floods and fires. The program is designed to protect life and property from any future event of a similar magnitude. This EWP project will be administered by the NRCS state office in Utah, in partnership with Summit County, the local sponsor. NRCS, through Congress, provides the financial and technical assistance to complete the work according to government specifications. Summit County, the sponsor, provides a 25 percent cost-share and coordinates the acquisition of land rights and permits to construct the watershed protection measures. "We look forward to working with Summit County and local residents to restore these critical natural resource systems and help make these communities whole again," said Sylvia Gillen, NRCS State Conservationist. She noted that EWP funds are used to solve problems that existed before the disaster and cannot be used to raise the level of protection that existed prior to the emergency. She also gave the assurance that her NRCS interdisciplinary team would follow federal law in evaluating the possible impacts the work might have on natural resources, cultural resources and the socioeconomic effects associated with the possible alternatives. For further information about this program and this project, contact your local NRCS office or visit the Utah NRCS Web site at www.ut.nrcs.usda.gov .
