All of these are vital to the operation of the shelter and the care of the many dogs and cats that pass through the shelter’s doors. OCHS could not care for, feed and shelter these ani- mals without the dedication and thousands of hours of work performed by volunteers. Recently, several OCHS vol- unteers were recognized with dedicated plaques of apprecia- tion. Included were: Vickie Higgins, a former board mem- ber known for her dedication and coordination of various fundraisers over the years; Sandee Gallimore, who coordi- nated or chaired various impor- tant fundraisers, including the monthly hamburger and hot dog stand held at Grocery Outlet; Jackie Allen, also a for- mer board member, who chaired the annual Wine and Chocolate Gala, a major fundraiser, and provided essen- tial participation and support of OCHS’s participation in the Rhody Day parade; Jeanne Smalldon, who has dedicated many years as volunteer coor- dinator at OCHS, and served as recruitment and training coor- dinator for volunteers; and Sammi Lewis, a dedicated board member who also served as board secretary. OCHS thanks its volunteers. Western Lane survey shows ‘overwhelming’ support for levy In 2012, voters approved a five-year Local Option Levy to fund the Western Lane Ambulance District’s (WLAD) operations costs. That levy is set to expire at the end of 2017. Earlier this year, the WLAD Board of Directors began con- sidering a levy renewal meas- ure. The renewal would main- tain current and future service levels without requiring a dra- matic increase in direct cost to those receiving emergency care.
