So Gracia called Clackamas County animal control. A representative is reported to have said they do what she did," said Gracia About her attempts to get help for the rescue. Gracia said. “I was so mad at these other facilities I could have screamed " The cat fled upon ar- nval on the ground Erika Reagan The Parent-Teacher Association for Welches Grade School has set Thursday.

"We're reconstructing the bridge to eliminate the 20-ton load limit that has existed since 1972,” Ever son said. “We're also im proving the access.

Each year, generally at the beginning of the school year and at the conclusion, students are tested on reading, spelling, language and math. Dietderich said for four days, students are tested on one subject only per day. The tests are given to students all over the na tion, which allows each participating school to see how its students compare nationally, said Dietderich At times, however, Dietderich said the tests can be misleading. For ex ample, in some of the items the students may be tested on, they may not learn until a later grade. However, for the past three years this has not been the case at Welches. “Last year we were above average all the way across the board (in all the subject matter) nationally."

POST—7 Parent-Teacher Association sets potluck Sandy Preschool Coop has a few openings can't "concern themselves with this kind of problem.” A representative of the Humane Society in Portland told Gracia they don't have the equipment that would make such a rescue possible, but did know of a service that would do it for a fee. A call to the Sandy police department proved fruitless They reportedly told Gracia they couldn't make the rescue. A spokesman for Portland General Elec tric said they would do it only if the animal was in- terferring with their lines Finally Gracia's hus band, Dan, told his wife that he’d climb the tree and rescue the cat. But Enka Reagan. 14. beat him to it. Reagan, who was baby sitting for Michael and Stella Hemmer, made the climb. A group of about 10 youngsters on the ground cheered when she got to the top. Asked if she was scared, the Sandy Union High School freshman said, "Yeah, a little bit when I got to the top and it started shaking." Asked why she made the climb, Reagan said, “I didn't want to see it die in that tree.” “It took a lot of guts to Oct 1. Yes, we got it!
