a fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust in the heart of Ohio silver, the lone ranger. It was the first great industry in the western United States, but when the days of the open range passed, many farmers emigrated to the new territory. There were endless disputes between the ranchers and these newcomers, and the disputes might have led to open warfare if it had not been for the mast rather the planes. It was he who convinced the old timers there was room for everyone, and that only through the honest cooperation of all honest men and women, that the winning of the West could be accomplished. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver. The lone ranger rides again. Come on! His old Abbey Salem listened to the rat-faced man who stood in her parlor. Her lips narrowed grimly, and her eyes began to spark with anger. Who sent you here? My ma'am, didn't I tell you that before? I work for Caleb Chandler. Maybe you've heard of him, his place is just beyond the pay-codes. What's he want with that land at the head of the valley? Well, you see, he's got a move. Where he is, he's been leasing, and now he can't get the least renewed. He's already bought the Davis Place just east of here, and aims to get settled on it a four-four. But he's got to have more summer range. Now, there's good grass at the head of the valley there, and if he can buy, it'll suit him fine. Well, you've come to the wrong place. I can't do nothing about it. I reckon you ain't understood me, ma'am. No. When I first come here, I heard you'd sold that property to a bunch of settlers. I've already talked to them. Well? They won't sell. They won't even talk about selling. Then that ought to finish it. Not less than you say it does, ma'am. What have I got to do with it? Well, in talking to them, I learned they ain't rightly got title to that land yet. They paid you half down when they moved in, and promised to pay the other half at the end of a year. That'll be about a month from now. Go on. What occurred to me, ma'am, was that you could fix it so they'd clear out without paying that last half. And then the land would revert to you, and you would be free to sell it to me. Oh, I could, ma'am. And just how would I go about doing all this? They're using Jones Creek for irrigating, ain't they? They are. And the creek's on your land, ain't it? It is. I understand you give them permission for it. But I found out that permission weren't never given in writing. So? So I'm to tell them they can't take no more water. Is that it? Just so. Well, that'd be real slick, wouldn't it? I could keep the cash that already paid me, besides banking what I'd get for selling the land all over again.   I reckon we can... Just a second. Yeah? You said your name was Mason. That's it, ma'am. Well, Mr. Mason, I'm a lady, at least ways away skirts. It's a way of privilege to put in words the things I'm thinking. Huh? And at my age, I wouldn't try to give you the larrapin you deserve. Though 40 years ago, I'd have handled two like you without even making work of it. Say now. But I still got a voice to holler with, and I can use it. Either you make tracks straight out of here, or I yell for the boys and tell them to give you what's for. Now, by thunder you get... But listen... I... All right, you ask, or I... No, no, no, don't holler. I'm a gone. You just better. I'm a leaving. Don't try to ever come back. But before I go, I'll tell you something, ma'am. What's wrong with you is you're too dog-gone old to have good sense. I never heard anybody like you. Hey, there. Huh? What do you want? I heard you inside there, mister. I was in the kitchen. I want to see you leaving. I heard around to catch you before you left. You did, huh? What for? Don't know who I am, do you? Now, look here, young fellow. I wouldn't care if he was the governor of this here state. I'm in a hurry. It seems Frank Salem... Hey, don't... Oh, Larry, he's my grandma. Oh, you're taking objection to what I said to her, huh? Well, mister... Don't get in such a hurry. You got me all wrong. Huh? Would it be worth anything to you if maybe I was to fix it so you could buy that land? You mean... I asked you a question. Would it be worth anything to you, or wouldn't it? Young fellow, it'd be worth plenty. I thought so. What do you have here? Mason, you and me can talk business. But this ain't the place for it.  I'll saddle him, catch up with you in just a few minutes.  A broad-shouldered man of late middle age looked at them with curiosity. You know, I can't figure you fellas out. You, for instance, you're masked. Instead of taking what grubby you need at the point of a gun, you offer to pay for it like anybody else. Ain't that a kind of funny way for a crook to act? But we're not crooks, Dan. Yeah, and that's the second time you've called me by name. We ain't never met before, have we? No. How come you know it? We'd heard about you. I understand it was your idea that this spot here at the head of the valley would make good farming land. Well, I guess you could say it was my idea as much as anyone's. Anyhow, it was me that talked old Abbey into selling us this land on time. I'm not sure you made a good choice. No? Dry farming wouldn't pay here. You're getting water from Jones Creek, but there are plenty of seasons when there's no water in it. What'll you do then? You mean to say sometimes the creek dries up? I know it does. Taddo and I've been through this part of the country often. The past two years... It's run full, I know. But next year, as likely as not, it won't. Maybe for several years in a row. Oh, say no. I don't know as I believe that. That's true, nevertheless. You wouldn't be working for a fella named Mason, would you? Mason? Who's he? Never mind. You wouldn't admit it if you was. Oh, here comes Cynthia with your grub. Well, I said you could have it and you've paid, so I won't go back in my word. But so be it if you are working for Mason, I'd advise you to steer clear here in the future. But Dan, listen... Here it is, Pa. Thanks, honey. Well, it's all done up for you, stranger. Fine. Time to put it in your saddlebag. And Dan, whoever this Mason is, you can take my word for it. We are not in his hire. Who's that? Pa, it's Frank Salem. Well, so it is. Looks like him that other fella rounds up a couple of strays. Stranger, if you want to stay on a site, the engine can round the cab. We're not running from anyone. I think we've seen my mask already. Well, suit yourself. All right, there, Frank. Where'd you find that pretty?  He won't. Yeah. Well, which one of you was it, Reynolds? You or did you get this mask, fella, here to do it for you? Huh? What are you talking about, Frank? You know as well as I do. So I'll give you a warning. The next time you hack after beef, pay for it. We ain't raising calls for farmers to steal office. Well, don't go on, Frank. You surely ain't saying I tried to steal them cars, are you? Look at them ropes around their necks. You figure we put them there? Why, what? Reynolds? We found the place where you caught our fence and left those critters out. We picked up your trail and followed it. You know where it took us? That grove of yours back there. We found these stairs tied up out of sight. Tied by the ropes you're looking at. I forgot one thing. You forgot that cowman can read sign. I guess being a farmer, you didn't think of that, huh? It's not true.  I ain't gonna argue about this. I'm just serving warning like I said. I'd advise you not to forget it. Look here, Frank, I'll swear. I never had a... Don't waste your breath. Aren't you? Well? I suppose if you was willing to give your name, you wouldn't be wearing that mask. But I reckon you ought to be worn, too. Yes? Crooks don't last long around this neck of the woods. Just keep that in mind. Perhaps you'd like to do something about it now. Nope. A warning ought to do if you got sense. Come on, Slim. We got to get these critters back. Get up, boy. Here you are, boy.  Well, if that don't beat all... Boy, how could those crows gotten in our grove? Oh, gone if I know. But I sure hate to have old Abbey think we're stealing from her after her being so good to us. Then? Yeah? Maybe Tonto and I can find out for you. Oh? Those fellas aren't the only ones able to read sign. I think we'll have a look at it for ourselves. Say, would you, stranger? And let us know if you found out anything? Of course. Ready, Kimosabe? Come on, Slim. Get it up, Scout. An hour later, Oh, who's over there? Oh, boy. Here's where the fence was cut. Ah. This story hasn't been hard to read, Kimosabe. Oh, it's easy. Those fellas cut the fence themselves. They herded those stairs into the grove. This mounted long enough to put ropes around their necks. Making it appear they'd been tied and headed for Reynolds' cabin. I forgot that anyone reading the sign correctly would see that the prints made by their horses were made at the same time as those left by the steers. That right. And that a single tree in the grove showed where a rope had been tied around it. Can you imagine those steers attempting to pull loose and still not cutting into the bark? Hmm. Then he foolish. And up to some game we're looking into. What do now? We promised Dan a report, and he's getting it. Come on. Get him up, Scout. Almost a week passed. One evening Frank Salem finished his supper, pushed his plate aside, and... Well, you... Well, clear off the table then. Wait a minute, Granny. Yes? I want to talk to you. There's things that got to be decided on. By you? By both of us. Well, now Frank, that's right kind of you. I've been thinking lately I weren't really needed around here, seeing as how you've been taking so much on yourself. So we're to decide something, huh? Well, just what? Well, you needn't talk that way to me. If I was younger I wouldn't. I'd spank you instead. Now get on with it, what's threaten you? It's Reynolds and then settler's your sole land to her.  You don't mean to just stand by while they'll rob your blind, do you? I've been given that quite a bit of thought. Well? If they are stealing, then of course it'll have to be stopped. Well, I should think so. But it ain't easy to believe. I'd never sold home if I hadn't figured there was honest. And once I make up my mind about folks, it takes a heap to change it.  How about them steers I found on Reynolds' place just a week ago? How about that bunch of yearlings we found behind the lathe replace just day before yesterday and yesterday again? I know, I know. Well, then? I think maybe tomorrow you better ask Dan Reynolds to drop over here. Don't tell him why. Just say I'd like to have a talk with him. I suppose I better see what he's got to say. I wouldn't. You know what I'd do if I was younger? Well, who's that? Why don't you tell him to come in and find out? Come in! There they are, Master! Dan Reynolds! What have you got to believe me? I've shot! We've listened to your plastered lies all the way here and we're sick of it. What's this all about? Just what do you mean by dragging Mr. Reynolds in here like this?  We caught him in the air. It ain't so. Miss Salem, the reason they caught me by that steer was I heard a shot and went over to see what had happened. It was a steer that had been shot and I was standing there wondering who'd done it when these fellas rode up and grabbed me. But it wasn't me that shot it, honest it was.  Ma'am, don't you believe anything he says? He's lying to you. Slim and me not only seen him shoot the critter, but when we rode up, he already had his knife already to skin it. So we picked him up and brought him here. You can do with him what you want. Didn't I tell you? Didn't I tell you all along what the skunk was doing and the rest of them settlers are doing the same thing? Quiet. Dan, I'm sorry about this. Me and Frank just been talking about you. I told Frank I didn't believe you'd done what he'd been accusing you. Miss Salem, it shows I'm a foot high. I've been framed. If my boys hadn't caught you in the act, maybe I would have believed you. But you must be. But as it is, I reckon I've been wrong about you and your friends from the first. It pains me to say it, but I must have been. Listen, we... No, talking won't do you no good. It's too late for that.   Someday you'll see you're wrong about this, Abby. You won't go to jail. But the first thing in the morning, my men leave here with orders to see that neither you nor any of your neighbors gets water from Jones Creek. They'll have orders to shoot the first one of you that goes near it on sight. We've got to have water. Right now we need it more than ever. You heard what I said. It has ruined us. But you brought it on yourself. Oh, we must have it. Not another word, Dan. It'll just be a waste of breath. I've said it, and I stand by it. Boys, turn Dan loose. He's free to go home. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Now to continue our story. The Lone Ranger, who had overheard old Abby's decision, returned to his secret camp. Tonto was waiting for him, man. Aye! Aye! He must have been... Oh, oh, so much. Oh, for the... Where you go? I've been at the Salem place. Oh. Then Reynolds, with just brought there, accused of butchering one of their steers. Abby refused to prosecute, but she's also refused to let the settlers continue to get water from Jones Creek for their farms. That's bad. Nevertheless, Tonto, I believe Abby's sincere. I doubt that she'd do a thing like this just to get that property back before the settlers can make the final payment on it. She honestly believes that Reynolds and the others had been stealing from her. Them not stealing? This is Frank's doing. That's right. And if he's engineered this, it can be for only one reason. Undoubtedly, Mason is trying not only to defraud the settlers, but his employer, Caleb Chandler, as well. He very likely hopes to get the land for a fraction of what he was authorized to pay, then talk of the difference after he's paid off Frank. I think you'd better get ready for a trip, Kimo-Sabe. Where me go? The Caleb's place. Shouldn't take but a few days if you keep going. Uh-huh. I think Caleb will remember you. If he doesn't, it won't be difficult for you to identify yourself. Then what do? Then bring Caleb back here with you. Tell him what we suspect is going on. And I doubt you'll have trouble. You'll most likely be as anxious to come as we are to have him. Me go now. At once. Here's code. I'll give you a hand with the saddle. The sooner you get started, the sooner you'll be back.  Each of the men present carried a weapon in some shape or form. The women, although unarmed, were as indignant as their husbands and fathers. They filled in the ditches. And a drop of water coming through from the creek. They think we're just going to stand by while our crops go to blazes. They're local. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. Shots go to blazes? They're local. They do. But, Paul, look along the bank. You can see Abby's men guarding the creek. They want you to do something. I think I want to find it. And we'll give it to them.  Are we gonna do something? This ain't give us no place. Let's get to our horses and ride over there. I'm ready the rest. The rest of you are? Come on. Well, I'll be blasted. Look at there. One of them's got the nerve to ride right over here. Well, I'll get him. Come on. Dog gone to Dan.  But that's a mask, feller. He ain't on their side. He's done me one good turn already. Fellers, put up your gun. Who was thunderin' me? That sure is some horse he's ridin'. Look at it come. You say you met him before, Dan? I sure did. Hi there. Hello, Dan.  Oh, there, oh. Stranger, why do you do it? I see you and your friends are getting ready to fight this out. You bet we are, Mr. Dan. Yeah? I believe you know Grandma Salem better than any of your neighbors do. You believe she's done this for her own profit? It's a chance to keep what we've paid her and still sell to that mason feller, ain't it? You haven't answered my question. I want to know if you believe Abbey Honest or Dishonest. Well, I, I don't know. Stop and look at this from her point of view. You and your friends are a comparative stranger to her. You know that you're not to blame for this trouble, and so do I. But how's she to know it? What reason is she to take your word on this? Against that of her grandson and the men who work for her? None, I suppose, but just the same. But just the same you mean to make a fight of it, huh? Well, if you do, you'll know you've been in a fight. Some of you may be killed. Those fellows keeping watch at the creek mean business. That creek is on Abbey's property. She is the right to keep trespasses from it if she chooses. For men killed, they'll simply be defending the right of their employer. If you kill, however, the law will see it as murder. I suppose you've got a better idea. I have, if you listen. I don't know what it could be. Put down those arms as I've told you, and I'll explain it. We might as well, folks. Listen, don't mean we can't decide if ourselves afterwards. That's better. Oh, then, what's on your mind? Then you and every one of you are going to do just exactly as Frank Salem hoped for. You're going to abandon your farms. The first surprise and anger of the settlers at the Lone Ranger's proposal disappeared as the masked man went on to explain his plan in detail. Three days passed. Then late one afternoon, Frank Salem burst into the cafe in town, looked swiftly about and headed for the table, where Mason sat alone. Mason? Oh, you, huh, Frank? Sit down. Name your poison. Ain't got time for a drink, huh? What's up? Mason? We're done. You mean? They cleared out. The settlers locked stock and barrel every last one of them.  You think so? Then just get on your horse and ride over toward the valley. There ain't no one of them left. They loaded up their wagons and pulled out. Well, I'll be dark gone. They had to do it. They was licked and they knew it. Without water from the creek, they couldn't raise so much as a measly crop of weeds. They just had one choice, and that was to get while the getting was good. Can you think that grandma'll sell to you? Sure she will. Why shouldn't she? Right now, she's mad enough to sell to anybody at their own prices. Then let's get going. Hey, not so fast, huh? How about the cash you frowns me? I've done my part. When do I get paid all? I told you you'd get half of the difference between what I'll have to pay your grandma and what Caleb figured I'd have to pay, didn't I? Yeah, but I don't. Then how will I know what you got coming till I find out what your grandma's going to ask? Come on. You don't need to worry. You'll get cash on the barrel head right after this deal goes through. Old Abbey Salem made no further protests when Mason offered to buy the land. She accepted the price he suggested, and the deal completed, Mason and Frank left the ranch. Half an hour later. Slim. Yes, ma'am? You figure I'd done right to sell that veller. Why, I don't see why you shouldn't have, ma'am. As long as them settlers cleared out, and you ain't got no use for the land, somebody might as well have it. I suppose so. What do you think, Mason? Me? Yes, you. Well, I'd say he seemed to be real fast-spoken. I didn't like him at all. Sneaky-looking, that's what he was. I don't know what Frank's seen in the feller. He seemed anxious enough to go someplace with him, though. Yes, ma'am. Callers. I'll see who it is. Yes, ma'am. Even Miss Salem. Dan Reynolds. I thought you and your Stephen friends cleared out. Nope. We changed our mind. Decided we weren't leaving after all. Water? No water. Huh? So here we are with the cash to make the last payment on what we owe you. Then we'll have full title. But you cleared out, and I've already stole that property. Didn't you get kind of ahead of yourself, ma'am? But you... We got it right down and right, and we have till the first of the month to make this payment. Ain't the first yet? So you never had the right to sell to nobody else. But you're gone. You're taking your things. The cabins were empty. We also... You deny that we can keep that land if we remind her? No. Then there's nothing more to discuss. Here's the cash. Some's in gold and some's in foreign money. But you'll find it's all there to the penny. What you tell a fella you sold to is your business. Slim. Yes? Find that mason fella. Get Frank. Hurry up and see where they went. They've got to be brought right back. Yes, ma'am. Hurry.  Now, the fellas you want right here. Now, they'll bring them along. Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Friendler. Where have I heard your name before? orientation? Ah, that'll be settled later, Dan. It's something more important to settle here first. But you won't! Abby, you blamed the settlers for the troubles here. You were convinced they'd been stealing from you? For that reason you denied them water from the creek for their land? And even if that land still does belong to them, they'll never get one drop or whatever my place. What I said before still stands. Even if it were proven to you theyande were not to blame? Don't listen to him, Gamo. Of course they stole our beef. Want it proved a dozen times over? They can't come in. Frank, you can keep still. Abby, I believe Caleb has a question to ask you. Where? Miss Salem, I just want to know one thing. How much did Mason pay you for that land this evening? $1,000. That doesn't agree with what you told Mr. Chandler outside, Mason. What's this all about?  Outside, he told me he'd paid $2,000. No, I'd give a lot to know just where that extra thousand went to. Well, I... One moment. Abby, as I said before, you blame the settlers. But as a matter of fact, every bit of evidence against them was reported to you either by your grandson or by the two men of your crew who were his special friends. I'll show you why. Look here, you can't bully me. Gamo, tell him to stop it. Search him, Tudda. Ah, me, search him. Get away! What are you doing to Frank? He won't be harmed. You learn in a moment. Finally, Tudda? Here. Here, cash. Take it, Abby. Count it. And suppose you ask Frank where he got that much money. $500. Tell your grandmother what you did to earn it, young fellow. You'll go to places. Frank, you never had anywhere near that much cash all to once in all your life. Frank, where'd you get it? That's my business. It isn't necessary for you to tell us. Search Mason and you'll find another $500. Add both together and you'll get a thousand. The exact difference between what Mason paid you, Abby, and what he told Caleb he paid. Frank, what did you do to earn that much cash? Why would Mr. Mason have given you any such money as that? No answer. I don't have to answer anything. No. No, I reckon you don't. This don't need answering.  Dan, I've got to apologize. I hope you and the others don't think I had any part in this scheme. Why, of course we don't. Sharks, no, ma'am. The masquerader convinced us of that. Caleb, I've already told Dan and the others that land at the head of the valley isn't going to be what they want for farming. The land belongs to them. But I have an idea. You'll be able to come to terms with them. Is that so, ma'am? You ought to buy us out. When I sent Mason here, I figured on that land costing me $2,000. Well, that figure still stands. $2,000 for the land the minute you say it's mine. And I reckon we'll take you up on it. It still gives us a clear profit so as we can get another start. And I've been paid and fooled twice over. Mr. Chandler, I'll give you back the thousand Mason paid me right now. Thank you, ma'am. What's to be done with these two scum? I'll take care of that. Abby? Yes. You wouldn't prosecute us when you figured we was in the wrong, so we won't turn Frank over to law. I reckon you're still handing up to deal with them in your own way. And as for you, Mason, I got my cash back so I reckon you can go free, too. But you're fired. And I'll see to it you don't never get another job in this year's state. Well, that settles that. Folks, it seems to me that one fellow deserves a heap of thanks for the way things turned out. And that's the mask, man. You have just heard as a copyrighted feature of the Lone Ranger Incorporated.


Coming together with David already from the beginning was this huge resistance. A lot of things messed up for me for a lot.  And it's so scary because you talk to yourself of everything else than that. And that's, of course, what we've dealt the entire world with, like all of the images to run from that. So it started out with us meeting in 2005 in Sweden. David and their told his first gathering. And I met his man as I saw it then. And now, I haven't gotten away from it yet. I was just so in love for three months after that. I was just in such a bliss, I was in such a joy. I fell in love with everyone and everything. And, yeah, it's like you can't describe it that way.  And I really wanted to dig down deep into this because it was such an attraction to this in my self to know the truth of who I am. So I started listening to David's gatherings. I downloaded everything that I could find online. And Leslie's told me that it's like 400 hours. And I listened more than twice. So over 800 hours. I was like listening every moment I got. I took every moment. And I was just going through it and just took jobs. I took a job where I could actually listen to the gatherings while I was working. And I slept there too during the nights. And sometimes I was like listening during the nights too. And one night I woke up there and it came to me really strong, go to the peace house.  And at that time I had a lot of things in the form that looked like they were kind of a hindrance to do that, to go to the peace house. So I just felt that, okay, all of these things need to go. They need to go for me to be able to follow this and really be able to walk the talk finally to live that experience myself. So it was first the job I called my employee and I said, hey, I want to quit. And she said, fine, maybe you want to get off. And I said, as soon as possible. Okay, let's say Monday. And it was so beautiful because it was just like, thank you so much for your job. And if you want to come back, you're so welcome. And I just went so fast. And the same thing, I came home and I was together with a man then. I had a boyfriend and I told him that I feel we can't share the same purpose. And that is like my deepest, that's my desire about everything else. And we talked about this several times before too, but it really came to the point where I felt like this can't continue. So I told him and he went really fast too. He packed his bags and then he was off. And then I had two dogs and they needed a new home. And actually David and I went on a tour in 2007. And it came to the point where I had to place them in a new home. And that took like just one week. And it was like this thing that came really fast too. So they got a new home, the dogs. And they were like my babies.  But it was coming in like step by step. And that's how the Holy Spirit is working with us. And it's not coming like boom and you've got to like sacrifice everything. But it looked in the form like all of these things were going pretty fast. And the Holy Spirit was working very fast with me in that. And that was like the guidance of the form. Like I can say those words because I really felt like it was coming in like that. Even though of course true love has nothing to do with the form. But it was just something that was really strong for me. Like all these symbols how it was coming in for me to be able to know more on the truth. And that's like everything is being used in the relationship of course to undo the belief in everything. And in person heard that like I was this little girl. Like this little girl or whatever. Like these kind of things that you have to work very practically on all of these things. It doesn't matter whether you could fly it to food or comforts or even sexuality where the gap between the pain and the pleasure just flips back and forth. You know who la la who either the physical or the emotional pain comes in. And sometimes there's a big gap and then the more sensitized you become when you're talking about the deeper you go the gap gets closer and closer where you do start to realize what Jesus is talking about. Now it's impossible to seek for pleasure without finding pain. And that's why these kind of appetites just start to dry up. You know it doesn't matter whether there's appetites for certain kinds of climates or for sex or for food or for preferences in terms of different kinds of climates or foods or sex or all this. You know basically your purpose rises up into awareness that other stuff becomes more peripheral.

Pike the Fire Department is currently going through their pediatric emergency care program through Kentucky EMSC. Though rare, the department does encounter situations in which a child needs emergency care and must be transported to the hospital. All members of the department participate in the program once a year. Well, typically we don't come across it a lot. Most of the calls we have involve a pediatric stem from CAR-X. So, typically when it comes to other areas of the medical service for children, we usually don't get those a lot because most parents usually just, if they're sick, pack them up, take them to the hospital or to the clinic theirself. So, rarely do we haul a pediatric when it comes to the medical side. Most of it's from the CAR-X site or some type of traumatic event. And that's why it's important for us to stay on top of all those skills because, like anything, you don't use it a lot. You're going to use it or lose it. So, we typically like to train specifically on pediatrics just to make sure we stay up-to-date with our skills. Tech the halls with Appalachian Wireless offering you up to $850 off select devices extended through Christmas Eve with no activation fee up to $850 off the latest and greatest devices. We are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. Providing EMS care for a child is different and sometimes more complex compared to an adult. The department prepares for these scenarios as if they were real. In 2018, we started a program that the Kentucky Board of EMS through Kentucky EMSC, which is an emergency medical service for children. They put emphasis on this. Restraining the child properly, using the medication doses properly that we're allowed to use. We like to do it in the ambulance, try to keep it as real as possible instead of just doing it in the classroom on the table. That way, we know what we're working with. We just want to make sure that all of our members know all these things because it's important to do that. Reporting from Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colum.


This video was designed for you, the new worker on a line skidding crew. We'll be giving you the basic information you'll need to get started working well and working safely. Of course, no video can substitute for on-the-job experience or the knowledge you'll gain from the other workers on your crew. However, if you pay attention to the contents of this video, you'll be ready to make a good start and to understand the safety and procedural concepts associated with the task of being a hooker or chaser on a line skidding crew. For you more experienced workers who may be viewing this tape, you can appreciate it as both a refresher for yourself and a guide in training the new guy to be a safe and productive worker. This video will cover the equipment necessary for on-the-job safety. It will also examine the best technique for anchoring the yarder, which is known as gying the machine. We'll next look at how to run lines and set up the tail for the yarder, along with how to maintain safety while hooking in the brush. Lastly, we'll move from the roll of the hooker to that of the chaser, who works near the machine and deck above the timber strip. Just one more opening note. There are several line skidding systems in use in the timber industry. For the purposes of this video, we'll be concentrating on the shotgun or gravity yarder. Let's examine the parts of this system. The machine itself sits on a landing prepared to hold it and the deck of logs which you'll be building. A guard or barricade will be set in place delineating the swing radius of the yarder. Respect it. The timber strip to be skidded by the machine will be located down and over a hillside next to this area. From the guide down machine, the skyline stretches out over to a tail stump or tree at the edge of the timber strip below. It is along this line that the carriage will run, pulling out and reeling in the main line to which the logs are hooked. A manual stop on the skyline will put the carriage where it needs to be in order to safely pull the logs back at a lateral angle of no less than 45 degrees to the carriage. On newer machines, the carriage is radio controlled for greater ease, accuracy, and safety in operation. Besides lateral angle, it is important to consider the deflection upwards and distance to the carriage when determining where and how to stop the carriage and hook up the log. Be especially aware when working with a manually stopped carriage. Move the stop periodically to the best, safest location to continue the job. Remember, these technical terms are for the shotgun skidding system, but they relate to all systems you'll find in the woods. More importantly, the principles of safety, coordination, and communication will always apply to any task you undertake in the timber industry. Now we're almost ready to yard, so let's ask what the new hooker needs to know. The first consideration should be the right safety equipment. This equipment should include a high visibility heart hat and boots called corks, which are designed to help in keeping your footing when working on and around logs. In between your heart hat and corks, you'll need to wear a seasonally appropriate work clothes and good durable work gloves. If you're working as a landing chaser, you'll also need to wear the same protection as a landing sawyer. These items include eye and ear protection and saw shafts. Saw shafts reduce the severity of saw cuts should the chain come into contact with your leg. Also, make sure that your saw's chain break is in good working order before each work day. Coordination and communication are vital for maintaining safety on the job. Nowadays, timber workers use a combination of visual and radio communication to be certain that each member of the crew stays aware of the current location and activities of the rest of the crew. Each crew has its own variations of the commonly used signals. Be sure you understand the signals as they are used on the job before you start working. Finally, there's one safety consideration which may change every day. That's your safety zone, an area that's out of the way of all other work activity. Be certain that both you and the rest of the crew know where your safety zone is and that you will be there when the job requires that you get undercover. No safety zone will be safe on the landing unless the yarder is adequately anchored. The common practice is to appropriately secure the yarder to stumps or artificial anchors on the uphill side of the machine. The lines used for this are called guy lines. The stump, the guy stump, and the whole process is, as you might just guess, generally known as guying. Of course, guying is one consideration in choosing your landing area, along with choosing a landing which will provide a stable base for the yarder and the deck. Preparing to guy will be part of the general process of clearing any hazards which exist at the landing as you are setting it up. A guy stump should be big and strong and a true stump. Never guide to trees, especially if they're near the yarder. Even the stoutest-looking timber may not be as secure as you think it is. When you've chosen a good stump, notch it properly so that the line won't slip off of the stump. When placing the guy lines, it's important to place the bell so that the line cinches to the stump and not itself when tightened. It is possible for the line to sever itself if you don't set the bell properly. Remember, never be afraid to ask for guidance from the yarder operator or other experienced personnel when learning these tasks. If good stumps are not available, there are various types of artificial anchors which can be used. These include commercially available earth anchors, crawler tractors, or other pieces of heavy equipment. There are other considerations to guying. Of course, you should always use lines of sufficient size and adequate condition to handle the load. A good rule of thumb is that a guy line should be double the size and strength of the skyline. Two guy lines are usually used, but it's not unusual to find a situation in which you will not guide the machine at all. The factors which go into deciding whether or not to guide the machine are the machine's size, the size of the logs will be skidding, and the distance over which the logs will be skidded. Again, communication with the other, more experienced personnel in these matters, is both vital and instructive. You'll also need to communicate with the crew in running the skyline downhill, the next step in preparing to skid. You'll need to determine the dimensions of the area to be cleared, discuss any safety hazards in the timber strip, and choose a tail stump or tree for anchoring the skyline. This tail stump should be at the further perimeter of the strip. If necessary, it may be further out, even partway up the side of the next hill, if tailing there will give the best angle of deflection when skidding. Once you and the yarder operator have chosen the tail stump, your job is to take the tail end of the skyline, sight the tail stump, and head downhill for it in as much of a beeline as you can make. It's especially important to be careful of line direction and selective logging operations. Watch out for unstable logs, filled timber, snags, and other hazards as you move down the strip. When you reach the tail stump, use the same notching and securing procedures and precautions as you did for setting the guy lines. Once the skyline is secure, you're ready to raise it. Get clear, then radio the operator to raise the line. When he has done so, you must take the time to check the line to see how it's holding. It's your judgment call as to whether or not the line will do the job or needs to be re-secured. Once the skyline is secured and raised, the actual hooking and skidding process can begin. Carefully head back to the top of the strip. You will be hooking from the top of the strip down, within the work area you have predetermined with the rest of the crew. Within that area, the first one to 200 feet of the strip are the most dangerous, as the yarder is operating directly above you, swinging and decking. The deck of logs is up there, too, so keep an eye on it and the road as you work. Stay in the clear, facing the drag and yarder as you work, and beware of brush, rocks, and rolling debris. As if all of that's not enough to be thinking about, you'll also have the actual task of hooking up the logs. Work your way down the strip, taking the logs in order as you go. Remember, missed logs cost money and become hazards. You may find a missed log rolling down on top of you and thanks for passing it by. Cleaning as you go will reduce the hazards other debris represent to the working hooker. After hooking the log, be sure you're in a safe zone before you give the signal to lift the log. That zone should be further from the skyline than the length of the longest log in the strip. The yarder can whip a log around like a battering ramp, so be in the clear when the lines are moving. Be careful of any hazards like brush, residual trees, or down material, which may impede the log on its way to the skyline. Be especially careful when raising any tree lengths, which may be in a log length strip. Don't hesitate to signal the yarder to stop so that you can clear a hazard, re-hook, or take any other step necessary to ensure safety. While we're thinking about tree lengths, it's important to know that these twice-average-sized logs require extra caution in all phases of skidding them. Remember that these long pieces require more room to swing, therefore the safety zone will be further away from the yarder. Other special problems faced by the hooker and sometimes by the chaser are working with cable and felling trees. When cutting out excessively worn cable, wear eye protection. Cable splicing is a skill which requires training and practice. Never try to make do with a poorly spliced cable. Felling trees is another skill which requires knowledge and experience. Don't take a risk by trying to fell a tree that's too difficult for your experience level. Get help and you'll help keep everybody safe. We've mentioned the job of chaser several times in the course of this video. A chaser is an unhooker, if you will, who works around the yarder chiefly unhooking the chokers from the log. This means that the chaser and the yarder operator need to be in constant communication to keep the work going in a safe and productive manner. Like the hooker, a chaser will need to do some sawing and limbing and will also need to wear saw your safety gear. You'll also need to learn how to handle and maintain your saw properly. You'll also have to watch each guy line and stump to make sure they are secure. The chaser's main job is to unhook the drag. Keep eye contact with the operator as you're working. Don't unhook until the machine is idled down. The line is slack and the down signal is given. Don't work on an unstable log. Step back and have the yarder reposition it. Always wait to unhook until you're sure of your safety and remember there's a reason why as easy as falling off a log got to be an old saying. Besides watching out for the turn, the chaser must also watch out for the yarder while it's in operation. Be aware of debris as well as the lines in the counterweight on the machine as it swings around. All accessible areas within the swing radius of the rear or sides of the rotating parts of a yarder or loader must be barricaded in such a manner as to prevent an employee from being struck or crushed by that yarder or loader. Designate a safety zone and remain there out of the way until it's time for you to unhook or perform another task. Hot landings are another special consideration when working as a chaser. Hot landings involve working where logs are being prepared for transport while a loader is loading logging trucks with the logs they've already bucked. As you'll need to watch out for all these additional crew members and equipment as you work, you can easily see that working on a hot landing requires at least twice the need to be alert and to communicate as does a cold deck landing. This video has laid out the basic safety concerns and procedures for working as a hooker or chaser on a line skidding operation. You've seen the kinds of safety equipment used in hooking and chasing and examined the operation of a basic shotgun yarder. The proper steps in gying the yard are important for you to remember as are the procedures for laying out the line strips. You should also remember how various factors on the timber strip and landing can affect how the hooker and chaser go about working safely along with the guidelines given for the hooking and chasing tasks themselves. Remember that the more experienced members of your logging crew are there to help with your training, never hesitate to ask for their advice or assistance. Working as a chaser or hooker is a demanding, exhausting, difficult and dangerous task.


Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.  I'm going to make a statement here, but before I do, I just want to thank all of you. You're from the Office of Management and Budget, and you're the ones that have been working and slaving very hard, and all of us here are deeply grateful to you. At which time I shall now read a statement in which I'll take all the credit. Because today I'm signing a message to the Congress that adds hundreds of savings to the 83 major reductions that we announced on February 18th, and this brings our proposed budget outlay savings for 1982 to $48.6 billion. In addition, I'm proposing changes in user charges and off-budget payments that will increase another $7.3 billion. Now, these are unprecedented cuts to meet an unprecedented situation, and they mark the end of an old era and the beginning of a new one. We're determined to enable the American people to gain control of the runaway government which threatens our economic vitality. The details of this program, which have been drawn up and completed during the past six weeks, will be released tomorrow when the official budget goes to Congress. Like the first round of cuts, these reductions are even handed and the safety net of basic income support programs remains intact. Although it is now up to the Congress to act on these proposals, I believe that the Congress and the executive branch have a responsibility to involve the American people directly in these deliberations. We must see to it that the voice of the average American, not that of special interests or full-time lobbyists is the dominant one. Now, these cuts are not necessarily the last ones. We're committed to a five-year spending program, and I am determined to stop the spending juggernaut. If more cuts are needed to keep within our spending ceilings, I will not hesitate to propose them. I would also stress what you already know. If we can control spending and shave a few points off the inflation rate, we can do more good for the poor, the elderly, and the finances of state and local governments than any package of federal programs ever could. The reductions contained in this program or in this message are part of a longer-term program designed to stop inflation, reward enterprise and initiative, and put America back on the road to prosperity. As I've said many times, our ultimate goal is to make government again the servant of the people by cutting its size and scope and ensuring that its legitimate functions are carried out efficiently and justly. Now, what I'm signing there are three acts that must go up to the Congress. That is not the federal budget. We couldn't get a truck in here with all of us here in the Rose Garden, so I shall now sign. One little task here yet to do has been a lot of cartooning lately, and this is a cartoon and maybe some of you too far away to really see it. This is the original inscribed to Dave Stockman by the cartoonist, but I just had to add a little note over my own signature on the other side. And since for those who might be in the back, this is my desk is now an old door on four cement blocks. A crate for a seat, and my pens are kept in an empty bean can. So I have just written, dear Dave, I hope you use secondhand cement blocks. The price of concrete is out of sight. Well, thank you all again very much. And Dave, thank you very much. Appreciate it.
