Only one leper re- turned, fell at the feet of Jesus, and thanked him. Jesus said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.” Having ISP Difficulties? HISTORIC CAVES CHATEAU - Located approximately 20 miles east of Downtown Cave Junction, the historic Chateau at Oregon Caves National Monument offers food and lodging. This photo (obviously) was taken earlier this year when the weather was a bit different. In addition, the National Park Service offers guided cave tours, and there are several opportunities for hik- ing through areas of scenic beauty. For information on cave tours and the Chateau, phone the I.V. Visitor In- formation Center at 592-4076.

Public health officials in the Oregon Dept. of Hu- man Services (DHS) are urging people not to delay in getting their vaccina- tions, as flu season nears. Despite earlier con- cerns about a vaccine manufacturing complica- tion, it is anticipated that supplies will be available in all communities during October, the usual month for vaccine activity, said Lorraine Duncan, DHS immunization manager. “Every year ends up being a bad one for flu, and we want people to be protected,” Duncan said. “The past few flu seasons have really raised public awareness, so we’re hop- ing people take action and get immunized. “People at a high risk of complications from the flu, and those who come in contact with them, should start getting their immuni- zations immediately,” Duncan said. “And if you’re a health-care pro- vider, that means you. Don’t take the chance of spreading influenza to vul- nerable patients.” Duncan said that 64 percent of health-care workers do not get flu vac- cination. Unvaccinated health- care workers are often im- plicated as the source of influenza in health-care settings, including acute and long-term care facili- ties, according to Duncan. “Immunizing health- care workers has been shown to reduce illness by 43 percent, and a 44 per- cent reduction in deaths among geriatric patients in long-term care facilities,” she said. Public health officials recommend that persons at a higher risk of complica- tions from influenza be vaccinated in October and November. They are: *Anyone 50 or older, residents of nursing or long-term care facilities, anyone 6 months and older with chronic illnesses such as asthma, diabetes, renal disease and immune defi- ciencies; children under 19 who are receiving long- term aspirin therapy; and women who will be in any trimester of pregnancy dur- ing flu season. *Healthy children 6 to 23 months. *All people who live, work or provide care to high-risk persons listed above. This includes h o u s e h ol d me mb e r s , health-care providers, em- ployees of nursing homes and care facilities; provid- ers of home care and day care for high-risk persons and young children. Par- ents and caregivers of in- fants up to 6 months are especially encouraged to get a flu shot. Influenza is character- Web Design - Ecommerce Store - Web Host- ing High Speed Internet Access North America & Canada Dial-up Numbers 471-0028 ized by abrupt onset of high fever, headache, sore throat, cough and muscle aches. Other respiratory infections that can be con- fused with influenza are usually milder and more likely to start with sore throat, sneezing, runny nose and slight fever. info@valleysoft.net www.vsisp.net Va l l ey S o f t I S P 1328 N.W. 6th St., Suite B, Grants Pass Immanuel United Methodist Church invites you to a musical Open House The a cappella choral ensemble Archiglas From St. Petersburg, Russia will present a concert of Russian religious and folk music Wednesday, October 13 at 7 p.m. There is no charge for this concert.
