(Photo by Josephine County Sheriff’s Office) Pair with 14 pounds of pot arrested after high-speed pursuit from Selma Deputies arrested two men near Grants Pass after a high-speed chase that began in Selma, and seized 14 pounds of ready-to-use marijuana and $1,600 cash. Arrested were Leonard Lemmond, 45, of Carlin, Nev.; and Gordon Lenz, 25, of Ashton, Idaho, said Jose- phine County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO). They each were charged with possession, manufacture and distribution of a controlled substance. Lemmond also was charged with felony and mis- demeanor eluding a police officer; Lenz on a misde- meanor eluding charge. One source said that the marijuana has a street value of some $42,000. JCSO said that Deputy Jeff Iles stopped a car with Nevada license plates on Hwy. 199 near Hogue Drive for a traffic violation at ap- proximately 10:30 p.m. Lem- mond drove off when Iles asked about the presence of- marijuana in the car, said JCSO. Lemmond drove toward Grants Pass at speeds reaching 100 mph, said JCSO, before other deputies and an Oregon State Police trooper used a spike strip to deflate the tires of the car near 199 and River- banks Road. After the car was forced to stop near 199 and Red- wood Avenue, Lemmond and Lenz jumped from the car and tried to run away. Officers chased them on foot, and both men were taken into custody. Anyone with information about the incident can tele- phone JCSO’s anonymous, confidential tip line at 474- 5160; or the JCSO Narcotics Team at 474-5151.

Offered by the Learning Through Art (LTA) program of the Illinois River Valley Arts Council, the workshops focused on the Latin Ameri- can tradition of Dia de los Muertos, “Day of the Dead.” Fire safety tips aim to prevent death, injury, damage According to the Home Safety Council’s State of Home Safety in America Re- port, fires and burns are the third-leading cause of unin- tentional home injury and related deaths. More than 4,000 Ameri- cans die each year in fires and approximately 20,000 are injured. In any circumstance, preparation can save you from becoming a statistic. These tips can increase prevention and save lives, no matter where you are. *Install Smoke Alarms: The most important step in keeping your home or office safe from fire is to make sure you have a working smoke detector. Install smoke detec- tors on every level of your home or office and test them monthly. It is also vital to replace batteries yearly. Smoke alarms lose their sensitivity over time, so you must also remember to replace home alarms every 10 years. *Have an Emergency Plan: At home, plan escape routes with your family. Make sure everyone is aware of all exits in each room. Also, decide on a safe meet- ing place outside of your Elementary Schools Lunch Menu Sponsored by H OMETOWN E INTERIORS 592-2413 THURSDAY, NOV. 13 Fruit & yogurt parfait, popcorn chicken, pepperoni or veggie pizza, turkey salad sandwich, chicken salad wrap, chef or garden salad.

Most offices have escape routes planned and dia- grammed for employees and clients. Be familiar with all exits in your building. *Invest in a Fire Extin- guisher: It is good to have a few working extinguishers in your home and office in the kitchen, garage, near the fire- place and throughout the workplace. Learn how to use a fire extinguisher by taking a fire safety course, because during an emergency there is no time to read directions. *Prevent Kitchen Fires: Most fires start when food is left unattended on a stove or in an oven. Keep the cooking area clean to prevent grease build-up. Remember to never cook with loose sleeves that can ignite easily, and never throw water on a grease fire. *Operate Space Heaters Safely: Heating equipment is responsible for a large share of fires in homes. Extra pre- cautions should be taken with alternate heat sources such as wood stoves or electric space heaters. Do not use electric space heaters in bathrooms or around other wet areas, and never dry or store objects on top of a heater. *Smoking Safely: Ciga- rettes are the number-one cause of fatal house fires in the United States. Never smoke in bed, and empty ash- trays into a fire-safe container before leaving the house or going to sleep. And, if you do smoke, play it safe and smoke outside. *Take Alarms Seriously: Your business should provide a fire prevention program that includes regular fire-drills and up-to-date floor plans. You should never take a fire alarm lightly. It is your duty to get out of the building safely. *Inspect Your Space: You want to make sure that all rooms are free of fire haz- ards. Do not overload electri- cal outlets or tangle extension cords. Any frayed or broken wires should be replaced. Do not route extension cords under carpets or doors. Cords can short-circuit, over- heat and ignite under rugs and may become pinched or bro- ken in doors. Also, make sure that your windows and doors open properly in case you would need to quickly escape. *Install Residential Sprinklers: While most busi- nesses have had automatic sprinkler systems installed in their buildings for years, many home owners are now purchasing them. Sprinkler systems give extra assurance to families and offer lower insurance costs. *Stop, Drop & Roll: This is the most simple and effective fire safety tip to ex- tinguish a fire on your body. Stop where you are. Drop to the ground, and cover your eyes. Roll over and over until the fire goes out. Many deaths and injuries will be prevented if people take the time to ensure the safety of their homes and businesses. Be knowledgeable about fire safety and fire haz- ards.

As officers were establishing a perimeter, they heard someone moving around inside the business. Shortly thereafter, a suspect was seen exiting the business through a door in the fenced back lot. Officers and K-9 Rommel pursued the suspect on foot over several fences and lo- cated him walking on S.E. Clara where he was detained without incident for further investigation. The suspect was identified as Hanson. At nearly the same time, officers were advised that a vehicle had been broken into at Amerigas. Based on their investigation, officers were able to determine that Hanson was responsible for breaking into a 2003 Ford Mustang at Amerigas. The car sustained damage in excess of $750.

A joyful remembrance of friends and relatives, “Day of the Dead” is a Latin American festival celebrated on Nov. 1 and 2. Lorna Byrne students were introduced to the holi- day with a movie; then asked to think and find out as much as they could about a friend or family member who has died. As part of their work- shop, they then wrote a paper about the loved one, and cre- ated and decorated a paper mask to symbolize the person. Dia de los Muertos work- shops included making jointed and beaded skeletons, a common theme of the holi- day; making and decorating a traditional sugar skull; and creating Peruvian rain sticks.
