Columbia River Community Health celebrates National Health Center Week with free community BBQ Event part of National Campaign focusing on health centers as local health care solutions for communities Columbia River Community Health Services is marking National Health Center Week 2011 with their Seventh Annual Free Community Bar-Be-Que. The event is part of a weeklong campaign (August 7-13) to celebrate the mission and accomplishments of America’s community health center movement. The theme of Health Center Week - “Serving Locally, Leading Nationally” - underscores how health centers deliver a unique approach that improves health and saves taxpayer dollars. The Barbeque will be held August 9th from 11:30 to 1:00 in the clinic parking lot. There will be hamburgers and hot dogs, as well as refreshments. One of the bright spots in the nation’s health care system, community health centers are run from the bottom up. Their governing boards of directors, with patients in the majority, determine how each center’s limited resources can best be used to meet the health needs of the community. At Columbia River Community Health Services, the local board makes the decisions that ensure low-cost, highquality care for the clinics patients.
“When people have a health center providing regular care, they stay healthier and can avoid expensive emergency room treatment,” says Mindy Binder, Columbia River Community Health Services, Executive Director. “At our clinic, we provide a range of services including well child exams and immuni-
support is needed for community health centers. The U.S. Congress is considering major spending cuts to health center funding and changes to Medicaid that could reduce access to preventive care for thousands of Oregonians. To find out more, please visit www.nachc.org.
Columbia River Community Health Services presents:
FREE Community BBQ Tuesday, August 9 11:30 am to 1:00 pm Clinic Parking lot Hamburgers, Hot dogs, Plenty of Refreshments

Boardman hosts low cost rabies clinic and offers free dog licensing The City of Boardman is reminding pet owners of the need to keep their dogs and cats current on their rabies vaccinations. This year they will host a low cost rabies vaccination clinic given by Dr. Burgess of Country Animal Hospital. Rabies is a fatal disease of the brain and spinal cord, caused by a virus carried by mammals. Vaccinating dogs and cats against rabies is essential in protecting loved ones and halting the spread of the disease. This low cost rabies vaccination event kicks off on Saturday, August 27th, from 1pm to 3pm at the Boardman City Park. The cost of the rabies vaccination is $18.25
per pet. Along with the vaccinations, the City will offer free dog licensing. All dog owners who reside in the city limits of Boardman are required to have their dog licensed for identification purposes. In addition Country Animal Hospital and the American Cancer Society have teamed up to offer a Doggie Wash and Barbeque for donations with proceeds to benefit the American Cancer Society. Pre-registration is encouraged to participate in the vaccinations and free dog licensing by calling Boardman City Hall at 541-481-9252

City of Boardman places bounty on noxious weed
City Councilors gave the green light Tuesday night to spend $300 on a program aimed at controlling Puncturevine within the City. The City has run the program for the last two years which has been a huge success with citizens collecting thousands of pounds of the Puncturevine. If you have ever stepped on a Puncturevine seed, you know what a pain the plant can be. Each spiny bur or seed pod from the Puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris), also known as a “Goathead”, contains 20 seeds equipped with long sharp spines capable of puncturing a bike tire or a shoe. It takes only 3 weeks for this weed to sprout and make seeds. To make things worse, the seeds are some of the hardiest in nature; they may lay in the ground dormant for up to 20 years until just the right conditions come along for them to grow. Any established Puncturevine will continue to grow and spread until frost comes along - unless you stop it. The City plans to enlist the aid of its citizens to control the spread of Puncturevine by offering to pay for collection of the weed throughout the month of August. The Puncturevine and their seed pods need to be collected in bags provided by the City and returned to City Hall to receive the $1 per bag in bounty, or until the entire $300 has been paid out. The City’s Code Compliance Official, John Russell, said “this is a great opportunity for local youth to raise money for their organizations and to do something good for their community”. Areas of the most concern are the City’s bike/pedestrian paths, and residential areas. Bags can be picked up at Boardman City Hall anytime from 8am to 5 pm beginning August 1st. For more information on the program, contact Boardman City Hall at 481-9252.

One of the requirements of the Ford Foundation Leadership program was to select a project that benefits the entire county and work together to complete the project. A covered picnic shelter at the Morrow County Fairgrounds was selected as the project, which will facilitate a place where fair goers can escape the sun and rain during the hottest time of the year as well as an event area for weddings, community gatherings and other events. The class participants will be on hand at the fair at our information booth and out visiting with people talking about this great project and the entire Leadership program. Oh, and by the way, we are taking donations to help build the picnic shelter, we receive a grant from the Ford Foundation and we have to raise the matching funds. See you at the Fair.

Library2Go offers free downloadable Audiobooks and more 24/7; Demonstration in Irrigon Aug. 10 The Oregon Trail Library District (OTLD) will offer a free program in Irrigon on Wed. Aug. 10 on how to use Library2Go, an exciting service that offers best-selling and classic audiobooks, eBooks and videos that are downloadable 24 hours a day, seven days a week for library patrons. Library2Go can be accessed at http://www.oregontrail.plinkit.org on home computers by using an OTLD library card and library PIN number. “Library district card holders can browse the collection, check out with their library card, and download to a PC, Mac and many mobile devices,” said Marsha Richmond, OTLD director. “It’s easy to learn how to use the service. We’re finding that once someone tries it, they love it. It’s a lot of fun to explore the offerings.” Titles automatically expire at the end of the lending period, and there are no late fees. Selections can be enjoyed immediately or transferred to a variety of devices including iPod, MP3 player, Sony Reader and many others. Some audio titles can also be burned to a CD to listen to while on the go. Richmond’s program will be held at the Irrigon City Hall on
Wednesday, Aug. 10th at 1:30pm and again at 3pm. She will demonstrate how to access Library2Go as well as how to download to a personal electronic device. All ages are welcome to attend. Library2Go is available to anyone who has obtained an OTLD library card or to any new library patrons. The service is offered through OTLD in collaboration with the nonprofit LEO (Libraries of East-

Pharmacy & Your Health
Health Problems that Spread at School Kids should learn to share, right? But, gee whiz…. When it comes to bugs and other contagious health problems in school, does your kid have to get everything that’s passed around? Packed into a classroom and messing around on a playground or locker room, kids do tend to share lots of health problems in school. What can you do about it? And when should you be concerned? Here are a few things to think about. Does head lice top your list of concerns? Although these creepy insects might disgust you, it may help to know that they don’t cause diseases or other health problems – other than maybe a red, rash like reaction. Of course, that doesn’t mean you want to ignore them since they spread really easily. Follow up with the doctor if your child complains of an itchy scalp or you catch sight of tiny white eggs firmly attached at hair roots. These are often confused with dandruff. Your child’s doctor may prescribe a treatment and other over the counter (OTC) shampoos or rinses. Follow directions closely and be sure to ask me if you have any questions. Viral infections such as chicken pox are common, too. Many are contagious before skin lesions appear. But be sure to keep your child home until the sixth day after the rash appears unless all lesions are dry and crusted over. To 1 prevent this infection, have your child vaccinated. Fifth disease is another viral disease. It causes a lacy rash on arms and redness on cheeks that looks like the result of a well placed slap. Unless your child feels too sick, there’s no need to stay home. That’s because the disease only spreads before symptoms appear. However, tell the school so female employees of childbearing age can be notified. Fifth disease can severely hurt a developing fetus. Although there are many kinds of hepatitis, hepatitis A is the most common type in children. This virus is in blood and bowel movements, so hand washing is really important to prevent its spread. A child with hepatitis A should stay home until a week after the onset of illness and until any jaundice (yellowed skin) disappears. Another disease spread through bodily fluids is HIV/AIDS. Although it can cause anxiety among parents, remember that casual physical contact – such as hugging, holding hands, or sharing a glass – does not transfer this virus. Then, there’s the run of the mill colds and flu. Deciding whether or not to send your child to school can be a challenge. General rule of thumb? If there’s a fever, keep ‘em home – until the fever’s been gone for at least 24 hours. If there’s no fever, more than likely it’s a cold and it’s okay to go to school. When in doubt, check with your child’s doctor. And, don’t forget the flu vaccine, which is recommended for everyone 6 months and older. Stop by, and I can advise you on the best way to keep your child comfortable while the cold or flu runs its course. I can also give you a brief overview of prescription or OTC treatments for the more common childhood viral infections.
