These lucky teens took a trip to Red Dot Paintball in Tri Cities and had fun, even though it was hot! It’s a good thing the Park took lots of water!

He grew up in Kennewick, where he and his family still reside. Being treated by a physical therapist for a sports injury when he was a young athlete is what prompted Bryce’s interest in physical therapy. “I saw how incredible the therapists were in getting their patients back to their normal routine,” he said. “I love the human body’s anatomy and the one-on-one with patients is what brought me to Premier Physical Therapy and Justin,” he added. His background includes working at Kadlec Intensive Care Unit and also in-patient rehabilitation and orthopedic rehabilitation.

EOHLA offers youth mental health first aid training in Northeast Oregon counties Morrow, Umatilla, and Union Counties Part of National Initiative to Increase Mental Health Literacy Lakeview, OR (January 2018) –The Eastern Oregon Healthy Living Alliance (EOHLA), in coordination with InterMountain Education Service District and Greater Oregon Behavioral Health, is providing Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) trainings to teachers and support staff in Umatilla County. YMHFA is a national program that is designed to give school staff the proper tools to interact with students that may be experiencing mental health or substance use problems. There are currently five training dates scheduled in partnership with the IMESD: ·August 13, 2018 – Boardman, OR ·August 14, 2018 – La Grande, OR ·August 16, 2018 – Pendleton, OR In YMHFA, First Aiders learn a 5-step action plan that guides them through the process of reaching out and offering appropriate support. Staff trained in YMHFA can help to identify students experiencing emotional problems sooner, improve coordination with existing mental health supports and resources, and inform students and their families of local supports available in their community. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for adolescents aged 15-19 and half of all mental health problems begin by age 14. In the recent 2017 Healthy Teens Survey conducted by the Oregon Health Authority 25.4% of 8th graders and 32.5% of 11th graders in Umatilla County reported that during the past 12 months they felt so sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks or more in a row that they stopped doing some usual activities. Additionally, mental health is a regional health priority in eastern Oregon, because large percentages of eastern Oregonians self-report depression or other mental health symptoms; however, they fail to seek the appropriate care. Early detection and treatment of mental health and substance use problems is crucial for adolescents and can affect not only
emotional wellness, but also their academic success. Eastern Oregon Healthy Living Alliance Executive Director, John Adams, understands the impact of mental health and the importance of the training. “I know first-hand how mental health can impact a student. I experienced depression and anxiety as a college student, and, ten years later, my brother committed suicide at the same age. For years I was afraid and ashamed to talk about these experiences until I became trained in Mental Health First Aid. This training works because it helps to reduces stigma, and it gives folks information and tools to talk about difficult mental health situations and experiences with others. We can only help people when we feel comfortable enough to reach out to others, and that’s why I’m so passionate about the trainings,” says Adams. For more information, or to participate in Mental Health First Aid training in Umatilla County, contact Executive Director John Adams at jadams@gobhi.net, 541219-0907, Program Coordinator Alanna Chamulak at achamulak@gobhi.net, 541-2192397 or GOBHI Regional Coordinator Erin Rust at erust@gobhi.net, (541) 298-2101. Funding for the project is provided in part by The Ford Family Foundation and The Collins Foundation. To learn more about Mental Health First Aid USA, visit www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org. The Eastern Oregon Healthy Living Alliance was formed in 2014 to provide strategies within the Regional Community Health Improvement Plan and to support community health development in Eastern Oregon. The EOHLA consists of a governing board with member representation from each of the 12 counties that comprise the Eastern Oregon Coordinated Care Organization (EOCCO).

A case of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is diagnosed in Morrow County One case of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) was confimed in Morrow County. RMSF is a serious bacterial infection spread by ticks and can occur ain humans and dogs. “To our knowledge, this is the first case of this tickborne disease in Morrow County,” said Dr. Emilio DeBess, Public Health Veterinarian for the Oregon Health Authority. The disease was first discovered in the Rocky Mountain area of the United States, however, currently most of the 700 yearly cases occur on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and the South-Central part of the country. In the early stages of the disease, an individual can suffer fever, nausea, body aches, vomiting and headache. Later symptoms may include a skin rash, abdominal pain, joint pain and diarrhea. The rash usually starts on the arms and ankles and moves to the palms of the hands or soles of the feet. Three signs that may suggest a RMSF infection are fever, rash and history of a tick bite.
This past winter was relatively mild which means an early and abundant tick season in Oregon. The most common tick in Eastern Oregon is Dermacentor variabilis, known as the “American Dog Tick,” which can transmit Rocky Mountain Spotted-Fever and Tularemia. These ticks prefer to feed on dogs, rodents and other large animals, but will find their way to people too. Another tick found in Eastern Oregon is the Dermacenter andersoni or the “Rocky Mountain Wood Tick” which can transmit Rocky Mountain Spotted-Fever, Colorado Tick Fever, Tick Relapsing Fever and Tularemia. This tick may also cause partial paralysis. It is important to remove it as soon as the paralysis happens or death can occur. After the tick is removed, the person will generally recover within 24 to 72 hours. The following are things to remember to prevent tick bites. · Ticks in Oregon are active primarily in the spring and summer, but also can be found in the fall. · Bear and turkey hunters can
encounter “seed” ticks which are virtually impossible to see unless you have a magnifying glass. · Check yourself for ticks more than once. Ticks in the “seed” nymph stage can even embed themselves between the eyelashes and go unnoticed. · Deer hunters can find ticks on their recently killed game. · Beware after the animal has died, the ticks will leave that host
to seek a more suitable “live” host which will probably be you! · Other things to remember when in tick country: Be careful when walking in thick vegetation, ticks usually “crest” on the uphill side of a trail, wear a heavy-duty repellant with DEET as the active ingredient, tuck your pant legs inside of your boots and wear a hat. If a person finds a tick embedded in their body, it is recom-
mended to have someone else remove it. The person should use tweezers or forceps rather than fingers, grasp the mouth or head of the tick as close to the skin as possible, gently pull the tick straight out, steadily and firmly. The mouth of a tick is barbed, so don’t be alarmed if a little bit of it breaks off into the skin. Always wash your hands and apply antiseptic in the affected area.

Eastern Oregon Healthy Living Alliance launches project to increase colon cancer screenings In Morrow, Sherman, and Gilliam Counties
Stop Biting Mosquitoes! “Protect Yourself and Your Family” By Eliminating Standing Water Around Your Home & Farm! “Fight The Bite” North Morrow Vector Control District at 541-481-6082 http://nmvcdmosquito.org Like us on facebook
Lakeview, OR (June 5, 2018) – Eastern Oregon Healthy Living Alliance (EOHLA) has launched a new project to increase colon cancer screenings in Morrow, Sherman, and Gilliam counties. Annual screenings with a Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) kit, which is a screening kit that can be done at home that checks for blood in the stool, are recommended annually for adults aged 50-75. Free screening kits will be provided at various locations in each participating county. Anyone can pick up a kit, complete the kit in the privacy of their own home, and return the kit at designated locations. Completed kits returned with the provided survey card will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Visa gift card, where 6 will be given away in each of Sherman and Gilliam counties and 12 will be given away in Morrow County. Free screening kits are provided in the following locations. Morrow County: Boardman: Columbia River Health
Services Heppner: Pioneer Memorial Clinic Ione: Ione Community Clinic, Irrigon: Irrigon Medical Clinic. Sherman County: Moro: Sherman County Medical Clinic, Wasco: City Hall, Grass Valley, City Hall, Rufus, City Hall Gilliam County: Arlington: Arlington Clinic Condon: Gilliam County Courthouse, Family Services According to the Oregon Health Authority, “Colorectal cancer is preventable. Routine screening can reduce deaths through the early diagnosis and removal of precancerous polyps. Screening saves lives, but only if people get tested.” One in three (36 percent) Oregonians ages 50-75 are not being screened as recommended. On this theme, the project slogan is: Got polyps? Get a screening kit and put your worries behind you! “EOHLA is committed to delivering strategies that improve community health throughout the entire region”, stated Andrea Fletcher,
EOHLA co-founder and board member representing Morrow County. “With the shifting emphasis in the healthcare system toward prevention practices to help keep people healthy, screenings, such as colon cancer screenings, can prevent many serious illnesses before they occur.” Funding for the project is provided in part by funded through the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute Community Partnership Program.

Letter to the Editor An Open Letter to the Boardman Cemetery Board of Directors: When our time on this earth comes to an end it is our desire that our bodily remains be cremated. Therefore, we will not require a grave plot or headstone. We have made arraignments for a small inscription to be added to our respective family plots in the hometowns of our youth (Frances in the small town of Umapine, OR; Eddie in Lostine, OR) However since we have lived in Boardman nearly 50 years, well more than half our lives, we consider Boardman “home”. We’d like to leave some small indication of our having passed this way. We suspect there may be others in a similar position. We therefore, request the cemetery district erect a ‘remembrance wall’ on which families of deceased ancestors not otherwise remembered could have an inscription engraved. We envision a polished marble slab four or five feet tall and 10 or so feet long set upright in a heavy concrete foundation. We doubt that the district’s meager tax revenues would be sufficient for construction of a remembrance wall however, we believe that should the district undertake this project it may well be financed with voluntary contributions. Needless to say rules would have to be adopted regarding eligibility, inscription appearance and content. But we consider those rather minor considerations. Please let us know if you undertake this project and to whom we should address our contribution. Sincerely, Ed and Frances Glenn
