and the following tips for
parents:
*Complete a consent-
to-treat form, and give
copies to the school office or
day-care provider for them
to keep in your child’s re-
cord and to take with them if
your child goes to the emer-
gency department.
It’s also a good idea to
give copies to family mem-
bers, friends, or baby-sitters
who may care for your
child. Your child will al-
ways receive life-saving
care in an emergency room,
but the form gives a physi-
cian permission to treat your
child for less serious medi-
cal problems when he or she
is in someone else's care.
Care-givers should
make sure to bring the form
with them if they take your
child to an emergency de-
partment.
*Organize your child’s
medical history records and
update emergency medical
contact information. Provide
a copy of this information to
your child’s school or day-
care provider with instruc-
tions to take it with them to
the emergency department if

POSTMASTER: Please send address changes to

your child is sick or injured.
Phone numbers change
often: make sure that your
child’s records include up-
dated emergency contact
information.
“Families often develop
a more relaxed daily routine
in the summertime,
and it pays to remind chil-
dren of some basic safety
information once school
starts,” said Blum.
“When medical emer-
gencies happen, it is much
easier to follow a plan than
it is to try and come up with
a plan when people are emo-
tional and someone is hurt.”
*Review and do a dry
run of your child's route to
school, explaining potential
hazards along the way. This
is a great time to discuss
safety rules for going to and
from school.
*Make sure your chil-
dren know how to use the
telephone for help. Post
emergency contact numbers
by every telephone in your
home. Have them practice
reciting the information they
will be asked for if they
call 911: name, address, and
a description of the problem.
*Develop a family
emergency plan in case
something happens on the
way to school, or while at-
tending school.
*Be aware of any emer-
gency plans and evacuation
plans your children’s
schools may have estab-
lished.

Beyond pencils, note-
books and maybe a new
backpack, emergency physi-
cians are urging parents to
prepare for potential medi-
cal emergencies to ensure a
safe school year for their
children.
“Being prepared is key
for so many things, and this
goes for medical emergen-
cies as well,” said Dr. Fre-
derick Blum, president of the
American College of Emer-
gency Physicians (ACEP).
“Your child is in a
much better position to re-
ceive prompt medical atten-
tion if emergency personnel
do not have to take time to
get parental consent, track
down medical records or
investigate immunization
histories,” he said.
Many schools include
medical forms in the enroll-
ment process, but it is
a good idea for parents to
make sure that their chil-
dren’s schools have their
children’s most recent medi-
cal information. ACEP of-
fers med ical fo rms
to help with this process

Some alcohol server
training could be moved out
of the classroom and into cy-
berspace if a study proposed
by the Oregon Liquor Control
Commission (OLCC) says
that’s the way to go.
After denying three in-
dustry petitions to allow
online server training, com-
missioners recently ordered
staff members to quickly
begin rule-making to allow
for the possibility of online
training for the entry-level
course. Part of that process
will be to look into the ef-
fectiveness of online server
training, classroom training,
or a combination of both
delivery methods.
Renewal server ed train-
ing is already offered online.
There has been lively
debate regarding the issue,
with classroom instructors
advocating for their “hands-
on” style of training; and
online providers stressing
that computer programs are
more consistent, accessible
and appealing to younger
servers, OLCC said.
Each year OLCC re-
quires more than 25,000
alcohol servers to take a 4½-
hour server-education class
which covers liquor laws,
safe serving techniques, ID-
checking, signs of customer
intoxication and related sub-
jects. Servers pay $23 for an
OLCC permit, which is
valid for five years. The
training class must be taken
within 45 days of applying
for the permit, and costs
$25-$40. Approximately
92,000 Oregonians have
OLCC service permits.
OLCC has been peti-
tioned by the Oregon Res-
taurant Association (ORA)
and Adam F. Chafetz, of
Arlington, Va., of the eTIPs
online server program, to
amend administrative rules
to allow Web-based train-
ing. A second ORA petition
requested a pilot program to
test the online course. The
commission voted 4-1 to
deny the petitions.
