WLAD, SVFR begin public awareness campaign On March 14, Western Lane Ambulance District (WLAD) and Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue (SVFR) conducted a Public Awareness Campaign for regional television, radio and newspaper agencies regarding ocean and beach safety during the upcoming spring break along the coast, beginning March 27. Thousands of visitors are estimated to visit Oregon beaches during that time, as well as throughout the follow- ing months as the weather warms. While beaches can be fun, relaxing places for families and individuals, it can also bring unseen dangers. Emergency responders encourge safety considera- tions to prevent injuries or deaths caused by a potentially treacherous ocean. One of the deadliest hidden beach dangers is the sneaker wave, whuch surge high on the beach without warning. They can carry a lot of sand and pull beachgoers into the ocean, thereby making it tough to get out. Don’t ever turn your back on the ocean. when an ear is marked “dan- ger” or has protective fencing. Understand the local tide times. It’s never a good idea to go wading out to a rock or island in the ocean when the tide is coming in. Beachgoers can quickly become surround- ed by water. Visit a tidetable website for tide schedules, if you are plan- ning these activities. Also, stay off logs in the surf or wet sand. The ocean can pick up small or large logs and drop them down on beachgoers. Finally, beware of high waves as they can knock beachgoers off rocks, jetties or headlands.

Bible Study 7:00pm Western Lane Community Foundation (WLCF) has announced that April 14 will be the deadline for WLCF scholarship applications, which are open to seniors at Mapleton and Siuslaw high schools. WLCF administers 20 scholarship funds, most of which are awarded annually, and range from $500 to $2,500 each. The funds represent yearly earnings from funds WLCF manages on behalf of generous donors of the local community. Two new scholarships were added this past year, The Boys and Girls Club Scholarship and the Brittney Hartzell Baguley Memorial Scholarship. Scholarships are available for traditional four-year col- leges as well as community colleges and accredited trade schools. While academic achieve- ment is one criteria used in determining recipients, the scholarship committee also carefully reviews outside activities, scholastic improve- ment, volunteerism, economic need and work history. Several of the scholarships are directed toward students in particular fields of education or with other qualifying char- acteristics such as mechanical interest, nursing and others. Last year, WLCF awarded more than $26,000 in scholar- ships. Applications can be obtained at the high school counseling offices or on line at www.wlcfonline.org and must be post marked or received no later than April 14, at P.O. Box 1589, Florence, Ore., 97439, or submitted to the web address above.

Meet Butch Hey, the name’s Butch. I came here as a kitten with my brothers and sister. I’m the last one to get adopted but ever since I went to the big kids’ room, I’ve been getting more social every day! I get along great with other cats and I go bananas when I smell wet food. Soon I will be someone’s best friend and partner in crime.
