Aug. 1 marked the beginning
of a new year of leadership and
planning for the PeaceHealth
Peace Harbor volunteers
(PHV). New officers for the
year include: President Rosalie
Johnson, Vice President and
Parliamentarian
Nancy
Johnson, Treasurer JoAnn
Wilson, Recording Secretary
Kathi
Brandt
and
Corresponding Secretary Kay
Law.
PHV meets at least every
other month on the third
Thursday for a lunch program
and
business
meeting,
September through June.
Installation of officers took
place at the final meeting of the
2015-16 year in June.
At that time, the 2015-16
Volunteer of the Year award
was presented to Susie Pilcher
while Pam Barrett and Nancy
Johnson were each presented
with the President’s Award for
their service.
Many opportunities to volun-
teer
are
available
at
PeaceHealth Peace Harbor
Medical Center. Volunteer
opportunities include clerical
work, hospice, clinic work, the
hospital gift shop and more.

PHV members can easily be
identified by their blue jackets.
You can find these dedicated
volunteers in most areas of the
Peace Harbor campus.
PHV attend an annual
mandatory safety meeting train-
ing in September or October.
Anyone interested in a mean-
ingful volunteer experience can
contact Rosalie Johnson at 541-
902-1368 or Monica Kosman at
541-902-8308.
PHV is an integral part of the
hospital organization and mis-
sion. Not only do volunteers
provide a wide range of support
to PeaceHealth an the Florence
community, it also does
fundraising and assists with the
hospital’s fundraising needs.
Recently, $10,000 was pre-
sented to the new Palliative
Care Program.

Many, if not most, central
coast residents know that the
Oregon Coast Humane Society
(OCHS) is not funded by tax-
payer dollars but primarily by
many fundraisers and the vol-
untary contributions made by
the public.
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.
Last month, Western Lane
provided an opportunity for the

Brian Burright said, “Before
moving forward with a levy
renewal measure, we wanted to
reach out to the members of the

wanted to get their feedback on
our service and find out how
they felt about a potential
renewal of the current levy.”
WLAD received 753 com-
pleted surveys.
Findings show: 92 percent
(690) of local residents
responded they would vote yes
on a potential renewal measure,
approximately 1 percent (12
respondents) said they would
not support a renewal and less
than 7 percent (52) respondents
were not sure how they would
vote in November.
