Mapleton Student Council
sells wreaths for fundraiser
For the past few years,
Mapleton High School’s
Student Council has collabo-
rated
with
Granstrom
Evergreens to sell the student
body and the surrounding
community
Christmas
wreaths and swags.
The MHS Leadership class
takes this on as a fundraiser
for annual conference with
the Oregon Association of
Student Councils in Seaside,
Ore.
“It’s a really straightforward
fundraiser for the student
council to do because there’s
very little involved. It’s also
different because it’s not
candy bars, or jog-a-thon,”
said council advisor Aaron
Longo. “It’s not your typical
fundraiser and that’s cool.”
MacKenzie
Cleary,
Mapleton High School’s stu-
dent body vice president, is
doing this for her second
time this year.
“I think it’s a nice little
project that we do — spread
positivity by selling wreaths
for an upcoming holiday, and
then use what we got from
that to go to a really interest-
ing conference that teaches
us more on how to spread
positivity,” said Cleary. “It’s
a win-win situation.”
The wreaths and swags
or Oregon grown and har-
vested.
Anyone interested in buy-
ing a Christmas wreath or
swag can contact the
Mapleton High School office
at 541-268-4322.

atty and Ed Pope
have been dedicat-
ed volunteers of the
Oregon Coast Humane
Society since 2006.
After retiring in
2005 and moving west
from Minnesota to
Florence’s warmer cli-
mate, Patty began vol-
unteering her time at
the OCHS Thrift Store
sorting, folding and
stacking
donated
clothing that comes
into the store daily.
For the past three years,
Patty has also spent a great
deal of personal time manufac-
turing pet bed pads for dogs
and cats, which are then sold at
the Thrift Store and the
Animal Shelter and currently
are also available at the OCHS
Christmas Store.
She also makes hammocks
for cats, as well as pot holders
in a wide range of colors and
patterns that are also available
for sale at the Thrift Store.
Those who have worked
with Patty over the years
describe her as a very
valuable volunteer with
admirable ethics, values,
a very good heart and one

who “goes the extra mile.”
Ed volunteers his time as
well, supporting Patty by help-
ing out whenever he is needed.
For five years, Ed allowed
OCHS the use of his barn to
store the overflow furniture
and large donated items that
would not fit into the small
Thrift Store.
The use of the barn at no
charge was a great gift of
financial savings to the animal
shelter.
Patty and Ed Pope are very
valued and appreciated for
their time, efforts and dedica-
tion to the overall welfare of
the dogs and cats cared for by
the Oregon Coast Humane
Society.

Hi, I’m Smudge. I am a sweet and
gentle girl. I love to be scratched
behind the ears and under the chin.
I’m also very playful - I’ll play with
anything, even my own tail; but
I especially like chasing the laser
light. I get along with other cats,
but I am really shy with humans at
fi rst and can be scared at sudden
movements, making me fi nd a
hiding spot; so just take it slow and
calm and I’ll warm up to you in no time. Plus if you have treats or
canned food, I’m your best friend.
