Polk County News 6A Polk County Itemizer-Observer • September 27, 2017 Contract Continued from Page 1A He said he would rather separate from Southwestern if that is the case, a senti- ment that members of the council agreed with, though no vote was taken to that ef- fect in the August or Sep- tember meetings. Young said the depart- ment is accredited and can operate without outside help. At Monday’s meeting, Falls City Assistant Chief Mary Sykes said the depart- ment has 39 volunteers. “We don’t have to have anyone else helping us. So basically, we can run this de- partment on our own if we have to,” Young said. “Don’t want to. I want to be in- volved in Southwest Polk be- cause we’ve done that. We help them, and they help us in a way too.” About 45 percent of the Falls City station calls are in the Southwest district’s terri- tory. Reducing the number of calls could lead to a decrease in volunteers, Young said. ISO ratings, which insur- ance companies use to de- termine fire insurance rates, could suffer if the agreement ends and Southwest pulls its equipment out of Falls City, Ungricht said. Homes outside a 5-mile radius of the nearest station pay higher rates because it takes fire crews longer to ar- rive. Those people who live within in the district, but within 5 miles of the Falls City station could see a large difference in their insurance premiums if the agreement were to end, Ungricht said. Hertel said he under- stands the concerns about Accidents having an administrator from outside the city man- age the department, but said the proposal is more about streamlining policy and keeping safety regulations up-to-date throughout the district. “Southwestern would offer administrative ser vices under that contract to the Falls City department,” Her- tel said. “It’s hard for a volun- teer department to adminis- ter all the regulations that fire service or EMS service is re- quired to follow any more.” Hertel said if the contract expires, but the district and Falls City find agreement, they can operate under the current contract until formal approval. If negotiations break- down, either side can break the agreement. Cough Continued from Page 1A The symptoms of the dis- ease usually have two phas- es, according to a press re- lease on Central’s website: The first stage begins like a cold, with a runny nose, sneezing and sometimes a low-grade fever. The second stage includes uncontrolled coughing spells. “It tends to start out like a cold,” Kubista said. “When the issue starts is when it be- comes that deep cough.” Kubista said the district is asking parents to be vigi- lant in keeping their chil- dren home when they are sick and following up with a health care provider if t h e re’s c o n c e r n a b o u t whooping cough.

Continued from Page 1A The driver of the Subaru, Anjali Singh, 25, of Lincoln City was not injured. Use of a controlled sub- stance by the deceased is believed to be a contribut- ing factor in the crash, po- lice said. The highway was closed for about three hours. Ore- gon Department of Trans- portation workers estab- lished a detour. OSP was as- sisted on scene by the Lin- coln County Sheriff's Office, North Lincoln Fire Depart- ment, ODOT, and Pac West Ambulance.

Riddell Road accident kills two MONMOUTH — A Dal- las man and Western Ore- gon University freshman were killed Friday night in a head-on collision. At about 7:50 p.m., Polk County Sheriff’s deputies Itemizer-Observer responded to a two-vehicle collision near the corner of Riddell and Whiteaker roads north of Monmouth. Sheriff Mark Garton said the driver of a 2007 Acura was headed northbound on R i d d e l l Ro a d w h e n i t crossed the center line and struck a southbound 2017 Volvo head-on. The driver of the Acura, Jacob Bailey, 24, of Dallas, and the driver of the Volvo, Elizabeth Hoke, 18, of Silver- ton, were both killed and pronounced dead at the scene. “(Bailey) was ejected from the vehicle and ended up in a creek,” Garton said. Hoke was due to start her freshman year at WOU on Monday, Garton said. Garton said the investi- gation into the accident continues, but the crash reconstruction indicates the Acura was traveling at a high rate of speed. The road was closed until 2 a.m. Saturday for the in- vestigation.
