They may feel ruined, but they can heal from this and there are sup- ports to assist in that, and they can become stronger.” For more information, call 2I¿FHUDW Heart of Grant County is another resource available. Executive director Shelly Whale said she and the other staff at Heart are there to offer support, and, if needed, help their clients make a safety plan. Safety plans can include emergency safe housing, transportation to a nearby shelter, and, under certain cir- cumstances, they can provide personal emergency items. “Sexual assault is one of the highest unreported crimes that exists, and of the cases that do get reported and actu- ally go to court, only approx- imately 5 percent get convict- ed,” Whale said. She said, if someone does report a sexual assault, it is important to listen and believe them. “At Heart of Grant County, we absolutely love to be there and offer inspiration, support and encouragement,” she said. “We want to encourage them that we’ll be there. To navigate through the system is daunting — it’s a very exhausting thing after already having dealt with a crime. We listen and believe and offer encouragement the whole way.” For more information, call Heart of Grant County at 541- 575-4335. Their hotline num- ber is 541-620-1342.

A USDA Rural Development loan and grant will allow the city to upgrade the aging system without increasing residents’ sewer fees. “And it should have much lower operating costs, so it should eventually save the city money.” The city hopes to get the project started this winter when the groundwater level recedes. 3 363 37 ǡ336ǡ3 3 33 3 3 3333ͶͲ33ǡ336ǡ3ǡ3ͻͺͻ 3353733ʹǣͲͲ3ǤǤǡ33ͳǡ3ʹͲͳ 3 333333363 37 ǡ3336ǡ3 3ǡ333333 33333 33ͶͲ3 33ǡ33333Dz535Ǥdz337 333333 333333333 3333 33 3 3Ǥ 33 333Ǧǡ3ʹͲǦǦ3Ǥ33333 3333 333 3Ǥ333 33334Ǧǡ3 333Ǥ333 3333ǡ333ǡ333ǡ3 33Ǥ3333 3333 333ǡ333 3 333 33Ǥ 3433333333 333͵ǡ3ʹͲͳǡ33ͺǣͲͲ33 3ͻǣͲͲ3ǤǤǡ33ͶͲ33Ǥ333333 333 33333Ǥ33333 33 33 3ȋͷͶͳȌͺʹͲǦ͵͵ͳͶǡ33 gurczynskij@grantesd.k12.or.us 333333 3333 3 33 333333 333Ǥ33433 333̈́ͻͷͲ33Ǥ 33333333ǡ33333 33363 3 37 ǡ3ͶͲ33ǡ336ǡ33ͻͺͻǤ3333 3 3333 333333333 ǡ3 3 3 3ǡ3333ǡ3333 333363 3 37 3333ʹǣͲͲ3ǤǤǡ33ͳǡ3ʹͲͳǤ333333ǡ3 33 3Dz333Ȃ3 3 3333ͶͲ3 33ǡ3Ǯ535ǯdzǤ3353 333 333333 33Ǥ33333333 3333 33 343ͳͳǡ3ʹͲͳǡ3333 33 Ǥ339333 333 3 3 3 333333333 3ǡ333333333Ǥ 33333333333333 3 3ǡ333333333Ǥ333333 3 ǡ337 333333333333 33333 33Ǧ3Ǥ3337 33 3 33333 3333333 3333 3333333 3333Ǥ 343333333Dz3ǡ333dzǤ3333 363 37 3333333333 ǡ3 3ǡ3ǡ3ǡ33 333ǡ33333333Ǥ 3748733ʹͳ3743934ǡ3ʹͲͳǤ
