COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL January 20, 2016 PeaceHealth Foundation Relations Spe- cialist Jessica Baker tells the noon Rotary club about the hospital's need and fundraising ef- forts for a new mammograph on Thursday. PeaceHealth raising funds for mammograph J essica Baker, Foundation Rela- tions Specialist for PeaceHealth in Cottage Grove, gave a visual update on providing state-of-the-art cancer de- tection at the Rotary Club’s Thursday meeting. The present mammography machine at PeaceHealth is 10 years old. It was state-of-the-art at that time of its pur- chase and is still a very fi ne, accurate machine. However, Baker said replace- ment parts will no longer be available in the coming year, and it must be re- placed with a much higher quality new technology mammography machine. Cottage Grove serves about 2000 women per year in cancer detection through this technology. The machine takes multiple images in slices. The accuracy of results is greatly improved, unlike 2-D images, which can overlap and give false positive results. Three- dimensional images reduce the risk of false positives, which decreases the need for tests such as ultrasounds and biopsies. In addition, the new technol- ogy increases the chances that cancer- ous changes may be detected. 9A A new three-dimensional mammog- raphy machine has a hefty price tag of $400,000, and the Foundation has al- ready begun raising funds toward that goal. The plan is to have the new ma- chine in place October or November of 2016. Of course, this should benefi t those in Creswell, as PeaceHealth also has a clinic in that area. For Cottage Grove and neighbor- ing communities there is the demand for approximately 5,000 mammogram screenings per year. photo by Don Williams LORANE COUNTRY NEWS C HAMBER Continued from page 1A Raade, who is always deeply involved in the Cottage Grove community, said that he needs citizens of Cottage Grove to “remember that this is your Chamber of Commerce. Citizens need to tell us how we can do better business in our community.” As for the awards, the fi rst presentation came from Worley, who presented the Junior First Citizen scholarships. The award recognizes volunteerism, community service and academic excellence among the youth of Cottage Grove. The runner up was Kale’a Galbreath behind winner Eve Cornelius. Cornelius’ essay helped win her the award that her older sister won three years ago at the Chamber banquet. South Lane School District Superintendent Krista Parent then presented the Classifi ed Em- ployee and Co-Certifi ed Employee of the year awards. Classifi ed Employee of the Year went to Diana Teixeira, the special education coordi- nator at Cottage Grove High School. “She’s loved and adored by students and faculty alike and she’s all over place making everyone’s life easier at the school,” said Parent of Teixeira. The Co-Certifi ed Employee of the Year awards went to Debbie Taie and Peggy Lintu- la. Taie teaches third grade in Cottage Grove at Bohemia Elementary School and has been for the past 29 years. Taie is described as someone “that has a level of patience and understanding that allows her students to fl ourish.” “Teachers don’t go into this profession for awards or fame, but this is extremely satisfy- ing,” said Taie. “Education has become much more rigorous in the past 30 years, and I would like to thank and encourage the city of Cottage Grove to think of our children and our fami- lies.” She fi nished by adding that “cities that photo by Greg Lee Gene O'Neil presented the Distin- guished Service Award to Joe Raade. value their children and young families stay colorful and vibrant.” Peggy Lintula shared the honor of the award with Taie. Lintula has been in education for over 45 years and has been in the South Lane School District for 35 of those years. She has taught kindergarten and fi rst grade, but perhaps more signifi cantly, Lintula founded a center called “A Primary Connection” 25 years ago which was established as the fi rst family resource center of its kind in the state of Oregon. Parent described the resource center as “a place where parents and children reach their potential.” “As a mother of a 17 and 20 year old, I can’t count how many times I’ve received council and advice from Peggy,” said Parent. The Distinguished Service Award was pre- sented by 2014 recipient Gene O’Neil. The award is chosen by local service clubs and is given in recognition of signifi cant commu- nity contribution. The award was given to Joe Raade, who not only risks death and injury as a member of South Lane Fire and Rescue, but T here are several events this week and weekend for everyone to consider.

Maddess, DMD Grab a BITE of Cottage Grove R BY LIL THOMPSON For the Sentinel contributes and volunteers for events such as Toys for Tots and community breakfasts at the fi re station. “I’m really humbled to be recognized by my peers,” said Raade. “This room is full of people that serve our community.” Before stepping down from the podium, Raade fi nished with a quote that read: “We can’t always serve every- one, but everyone can always serve someone.” The fi rst citizen award went to Paul Tocco, who wasn’t present as he was at his daughter’s recital during the dinner. Tocco owns and op- erates Busters Main St. Café. In 2015, Mayor Tom Munroe recognized Tocco for keeping up the “Welcome to Cottage Grove” signs on the North and South entrances of the highway. He also provides free meals for Veterans on the 11th of every month. Faye Stewart accepted the award on his be- half. He told an anecdote of how Tocco would guard playground equipment overnight during the construction period, and when the National Guard came in to assist, he invited the service- men to be fed everyday for two weeks straight. The fi nal award of the year was Business of the Year. This award is given to a Cottage Grove business for outstanding achievement in good business practices and involvement in the com- munity. This year the award went to South Lane Wheels, a transportation service for senior citi- zens. The business was established in 1982 as a non-profi t. Over the past year, the business gave approximately 17,300 one-way rides for senior citizens and drove over 137,000 miles. Execu- tive Director Ruth Linoz, Board President Gary Manly and advisor Suzanne Huebner-Sannes accepted the award on behalf of the business. The Chamber Banquet ended successfully (with a few hiccups and laughs along the way) and the presentation was then closed by Direc- tor Travis Palmer.
