SMOKEY POINT — A trip to her local drug store to pick up some prescriptions sent Margo Ogilvie to the hospital instead. A resident of the Stillaguamish Gardens senior apartments, Ogilvie was worried about reports of high winds Aug. 29, but she needed her medication. Although she’s had a hip replacement, Ogilvie remains an avid walker who relies on the bus to get her to most places. After a short bus ride, she arrived at the Smokey Point Rite-Aid.

Margo Ogilvie “My last memory was of seeing the door,” said Ogilvie, who now bears a
line of 14 stitches on her forehead, above her stillswollen black eye and her three chipped teeth. Ogilvie woke up in an ambulance, and spent some time on the eighth floor of Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett. “I didn’t even know what had happened at first,” Ogilvie said. “Then I saw my face in a mirror.” Ogilvie has heard from witnesses that the door to
the pharmacy struck her directly in the face, after a strong gust of wind. “My jaw and neck muscles hurt,” Ogilvie said. “I broke a bone in the back of my skull. I was diagnosed with a concussion, and I’ve been nauseated enough to lose weight. All I’ve been able to stomach is some chicken noodle soup. I don’t know how long these symptoms will last. I was told I could possibly have brain damage. I need to get an X-ray and a complete physical.” While landing on her head when she fell did her no favors, she counts herself as lucky that she didn’t
fall on her hip. “That would have needed an immediate replacement if I had,” Ogilvie said. Although her family was there to support her after her hip surgery, they could only send their well-wishes after this injury, since they were already visiting her mother, who was hospitalized for fluid in her lungs. “They still sent flowers, though,” Ogilvie said. “This has limited my life immensely. I’m too dizzy to ride the bus, so a social worker is seeing about setting me up with DART. I have friends and neighbors who are looking after me.”

MARYSVILLE – Just like in business management, top-down is on its way out in education, too, with collaboration the new favored method. The Marysville School District starts this new era as school begins Wednesday, Sept. 9. “I applaud the courage of the teachers” in being willing to change, Superintendent Becky Berg said. Starting next month, 2,000 students in grades sixth through 12th will start receiving Chromebooks as technology will be used in their daily academic lives. Berg admitted that students may be more comfortable than the teachers
