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.

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-

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. Always assume

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.
For more information
regarding the graduating sen-
ior scholarships, contact

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.
If you would like to meet Butch or any of his
friends, please visit us at:
