EVERGREEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Principal Nancy Brown (left) dyed her
hair at the direction of Sally Clements’ K-
2nd grade class (top) because it raised
$224.67 in a penny drive to help buy new
playground equipment. The second-place
class, raising $198.95, was Pat Brandt’s
third- through fifth-grade class. Overall,
the drive brought in $2,022.70 and will be
shared with Evergreen PTA. The two win-
ning classes (bottom photo) were treated
to an ice cream party. The principal had
promised that if the goal of $2,000 was
reached, the top money-raising class
could tell her what colors to dye her hair.

STUCK BETWEEN TWO TREES is how a car driven by a Grants Pass resident ended
up in an accident on Hwy. 199 south of O’Brien near the California border Thursday
morning, April 13, said Oregon State Police (OSP). The driver was identified as Altha
M. Pool, 57, of Morgan Lane. She was taken by American Medical Response to Illi-
nois Valley Airport, and transferred to a Mercy Flights helicopter, said OSP. Her cur-
rent location and condition were unavailable. Pool’s two passengers, both from Cali-
fornia, were not reported injured. OSP said that evidence showed that Pool drifted
off the highway and traveled for approximately 123 feet prior to striking two trees.
They allowed the car through up to the rear axle, and the car then nose-dived, OSP
indicated. (Photo by Dale & Elaine Sandberg/I.V. Fire District Media Dept.)
Smoke alarms
save lives if in
working order
Do you have smoke
detectors in your home?
When is the last time
you checked the batteries?
Did you take one out
because it was beeping?
That is telling you that you
need a new battery, said
Illinois Valley Fire District
(IVFD).
How much are the lives
of you and your loved ones
worth? Smoke detectors do
save lives because when
working properly they can
provide an early warning
that smoke is in the house,
noted IVFD.
Do you have fire drills
with the family and pets?
Do you know how they will
respond to the sound?
Do you know where
they will go?
People and pets die in
fires because they don’t
know the house is on fire.
Not all children hear
smoke detectors -- do
yours?
Do you have a fire ex-
tinguisher in your home?
Keep a small fire small.
The life you save may be
your own.
If you need help with
the proper placement of
smoke detectors and extin-
guishers, or have any ques-
tion about being fire safe
phone IVFD at 592-2225.
