Clementine Mae (Connie) Hartt – 1933-2015 Clementine Mae (Connie) Hartt; April 14, 1933 – Nov. 9, 2015. Connie passed away quietly in her sleep at her home in Colton, Ore. Connie was the youngest daughter of Clayborne W. and Jessie P. Arden. They lived in Siletz, Ore., for several years, then moved to the Willamette Valley and settled in Buena Vista, Ore. Connie is preceded in death by her husband Fred Hartt of 47 years; her par- ents; brother Amos Arden; sister Minnie Hartt; and daughter Kathy Porter. She is survived by her daughter, Barbara Watson (Dave); son Elliott Hartt (Suzette); sisters Jessie Davis and Janie Kaiser; brother Oscar Hatfield; and several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Connie had a lot of love and was “grandma,” “mom,” “sister” and best friend to many. Connie always had a smile and was a very caring person. She had a great sense of humor and was a very hard worker. For more than 20 years she managed the Clothes Basket, a laundromat and dry cleaner in Molalla, Ore. At the same time, on weekends, she set up a tipi and sold fry bread and fry bread tacos at the Molalla Buckaroo and the Timber Festival in Estacada. She met a lot of venders who she talked into coming to Siletz to participate in the Nesika Illahee Pow-Wow Committee for 10 years. During that time she baked the salmon outside on Sunday, at no cost. She taught others how to prepare the salmon. She loved being involved and partici- pating with the Elders as a treasurer and as a member. She enjoyed their meetings and the gatherings. Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians Tribal Maternal, Infant, & Early Childhood Home Visiting Program Naytlh - ‘a “We Carry the Children” Our home visiting program provides parenting and life skills for successful and positive parenting. We serve Native families that are either expecting or have infants under the age of 12 months, continuing through the child’s third birthday. We travel throughout the 11-county service area of the Confederated Tribe of Siletz Indians. The model and curriculum we provide is called Family Spirit and was developed by the John Hopkins Center for American Indian Health. We are funded by the Tribal Maternal, Infant, Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (TMIECHV). Family Spirit is evidence-based and culturally sensitive to Native families. Parents gain knowledge and skills for their developing infant through 36 months of age. We also focus on goals and healthy living for parents as a support system for the family as a whole. The program consists of 63 lessons over a 39-month period and is divided into six modules. The modules are broken into these categories: Prenatal care (9 lessons), infant care (16 lessons), your growing child (11 lessons), toddler care (9 lessons), my family and me (6 lessons) and healthy living (12 lessons). While this may seem like a big commitment, the lessons vary from 30 minutes to 90 minutes and some can be combined together as we work with your schedule. Family Spirit suggests we deliverer at least 32 lessons to our families in order for families to benefit from the evidence- based curriculum. For the full benefits of the program, we would like to provide all 63 to our families. As a thank you for participating in our program, we offer some incentives that we will be happy to share with you upon enrollment in our program. During your participation, if you feel like the timeline of lessons is too often, we can adjust the home visits to accommodate your schedule while still keeping the programs timeline in mind. We are a voluntary program that delivers home visits in the comfort of the homes of our families. If you would like to get more information and or meet our home visiting staff, we would love to schedule a home visit to give you a full overview of the program.

New year brings new clean air rules for work environments New regulations for the Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act, also known as the Smokefree Workplace Law, went into effect Jan. 1. These include restrictions on all types of “inhalants” (nicotine, marijuana or any other substance that enters a person’s respiratory system) and “inhalant delivery systems.” Inhalant delivery systems are devices that make nicotine, cannabinoids and other substances into a vapor or aerosol. These include e-cigarettes, vape pens, e-hookahs and other devices. Under the new regulations, businesses: • • • • Cannot allow nicotine delivery devices within 10 feet of entrances, exits, accessibility ramps that lead to or from an entrance or exit, windows that open or air-intake vents at any indoor workplace or public place Must post “No smoking within 10 feet” signs at all building entrances and exits Must label all tables, outdoor seat- ing or dining areas within 10 feet of entrances as nonsmoking Must remove ashtrays and other recep- tacles for smoking debris from outdoor locations within 10 feet of entrances Smoking in or near workplaces has been banned in Oregon since Jan. 1, 2009, after the original bill was signed into law during the 2007 legislative session. E-cigarette use, however, increased by 150 percent from 2011 to 2013. Studies have identified chemicals in the secondhand vapors of e-cigarettes, which cause cancer and birth defects, that are similar to those found in traditional cigarettes. These new regulations aim to prevent the use of tobacco with these newer electronic products and create a healthier environment for the workforce and community. Lincoln County Health & Human Ser- vices is eager to support the new law and make the transition easy for businesses. Contact Samantha Schafer, Tobacco Pre- vention and Education Program coordina- tor (see details below), to receive technical assistance, decals and additional informa- tion on the new rules. To learn more about the new regula- tions, visit healthoregon.org/morefreshair or contact Schafer at sschafer@co.lincoln. or.us or 541-265-6611, ext. 3281.
