Detectors
The Warm Springs Red
Cross provides smoke detec-
tors, including detectors that
are designed for people who
are hearing impaired or blind.
Warm Springs Red Cross of-
fers these two rules, if Red
Cross is asked to install the
detector:
First, an adult must be
present at time of install to
sign document upon
completion of installment.
And second, pets of all kind
must be outside, tied up or
in another closed off room
for protection of installers.
Recommended areas to
install detectors: One in
each bedroom; one in the
hallway; one in the living
room or family room. Re-
place old detectors that are
10 years old or better.
Recommended where
note to install detectors: In
the kitchen (smoke) or
laundry room or bathroom
(steam). A room with a
wood stove is also not rec-
ommended.
Wired or electric smoke
detectors must be main-
tained by the homeowner
or Housing. Red Cross is
not allowed to disconnect
the batteries or unplug the
unit. Also we do not pro-
vide replacement batteries.
Red Cross detectors are
good for 10 years and
never need to replace the
batteries. Once a detector
is installed in your home, it
is good for 10 years. If the
detector goes out or does
not work, call Red Cross
and it will be replaced at
no cost to you.
We have detectors for
the hearing impaired and
the blind: A test is given to
the individual or individu-
als to see if a special de-
tector is needed. If so then
the order is placed for the
individual or individuals
then properly installed and
how to properly use the de-
tectors.
So just some basic in-
formation for smoke de-
tectors to make your home
a little bit more safe and
hopefully save your or
your family and loved one’s
life. For information call
541-553-4955. Or write to:

Relay for Life
The Relay for Life of
Jefferson County—this year
called the P i r a t e s o f t h e
Cure-ibbean—raised over
$80,700 to help save lives
and create a world with less
cancer.
The top fundraising team
this year was the War m
Springs Gaming Enter-
prises, team captain Janell
Smith. They raised $12,323.
Other top fundraisers
were Mendenhall Crusaders,
raising $11,029; and Team
of All Trades, bringing in
$7,404.
This year our Silent Auc-
tion brought in over
$21,000, thanks to Teri Drew
and her team of helpers. We
are so proud of our com-
munity for standing up to
cancer to finish the fight
About 50 survivors and
30 caregivers walked the
opening lap and inspired
those currently battling can-
cer. Our Survivor Honoree
this year was Karen Jamison
from Crooked River Ranch.
She is a 20-year cancer sur-
vivor. Karen spoke at the
opening ceremony about
her journey through cancer
treatment and of the sup-
port group that she helped
for m in Crooked River
Ranch in 2006.
Our Luminaria Ceremony
showed the community’s
warmth and strength in car-
ing for those who are no
longer with us. Margee
O’Brien, our outstanding
MC and Voice of the Relay,
did an Empty Table Cer-
emony, which was ver y
meaningful.
Robert Zachary was our
‘In Memory of ’ honoree.
He passed away 11 years
ago. His wife, Patty, spoke
about Bob’s life and his love
of ministry. Kim Gillespie,
Bob’s daughter, talked about
her father’s cancer diagno-
sis and experience, and his
granddaughter spoke of his
influence on her and the
family.
The top three individual
fundraisers were Kathy
Miles with $4,120; Margee
O’Brien, $2,891; and Alice
Satterlee, $2,500.
All of the teams and par-
ticipants did a great job with
their fundraising efforts this
year. We also had several
people who walked 30 or
more miles during the event:
Noah K aiser, 52 miles.
Stacey Carpenter, 50 miles.
Chloe Brockopp, age 14, 49
miles. Kimberly Palmer, 45
miles. Sue Young, Linda
Bengston and Matt Durfee,
30 miles. Kathy Miles, who
came up from Lakeview, and
who is also a cancer survivor,
walked about 26 miles. Do-
nations may be accepted un-
til August 24.
