Oregon POLST registry functioning
Within two months of
its statewide launch, Ore-
gon’s new POLST Registry
— the latest expansion of
Oregon’s highly successful
Physician Orders for Life-
Sustaining Treatment Pro-
gram — is in full operation.
The registry has re-
ceived nearly 10,000
POLST forms.
Dr. Susan Tolle, a phy-
sician and director of the
Center for Ethics in Health
Care at Oregon Health &
Science University (OHSU),
recently was invited to pre-
sent a status report on the
program to the Oregon Leg-
islature’s Senate Healthcare
Committee.
The POLST Program
was established in 1990 to
help ensure that people with
serious illness have their
wishes for treatment met if
they are unable to speak for
themselves. At the center of
the program is a pink
POLST form, a medical
orders form completed by a
physician, nurse practitioner
or physician assistant based
on patient treatment prefer-
ences.
The form provides
specific medical instruc-
tions to health-care profes-
sionals at a time when the
patient is incapacitated.
Because the paper POLST
form frequently is not im-
mediately available to
emergency personnel in a
crisis, the Oregon POLST
Registry was created to
ensure critical health-care
needs are met.
Under the new system,
emergency personnel who
arrive at the scene can ac-
cess the POLST Registry 24
hours a day to get the infor-
mation they need to care for
patients in accordance with
their wishes.
This is a backup system
if the paper POLST form
cannot be located. The vol-
untary registry, the first of
its kind in the nation, was
established through the
OHSU Dept. of Emergency
Medicine under the auspices
of the new Oregon Health
Authority, part of the state’s
comprehensive health re-
form bill, which was passed
by the Legislature in June
2009.
As POLST Registry
coordinators reported to
lawmakers, the following
milestones have been
reached since the program
launch:
*As of January 2010,
app roximately 10,000
POLST forms have been
submitted to the registry
from across Oregon.
*Nearly all forms re-
ceived were entered into the
POLST Registry within 48
hours.
*Health-care profes-
sionals from all of Oregon’s
36 counties are successfully
submitting POLST forms to
the POLST Registry.
*Between Dec. 3, 2009,
and Jan. 31, 2010, the Emer-
gency Communications
Center at OHSU received 57
calls from emergency medi-
cal personnel seeking a
match between the form in
the registry and a patient in
crisis. To date, seven inquir-
ies, or 12 percent, have been
successfully matched.
*During the past three
months, OHSU’s Center for
Ethics in Health Care has
distributed 45,000 POLST
forms, more than twice the
prior year’s monthly aver-
age.
*From June 2009 to
January 2010, more than
4,000 health-care profes-
sionals have received formal
training about the POLST
Registry, including form
completion and submission.
Dr. Terri Schmidt, a
physician and director of
the new registry, currently
is providing medical relief
in Haiti. Tolle, who leads
registry educational ef-
forts, contributed to the
report.
“Dr. Schmidt and her
colleagues in the OHSU
Department of Emergency
Medicine deserve praise for
their efforts and the early
success of the registry,” said
Tolle. “To have the POLST
Registry fully functioning
within two months of initial
statewide launch is remark-
able. The registry will be
even more successful as
additional POLST forms are
entered.
“We are just starting to
see the benefits of the regis-
try. We encourage patients
and their health-care profes-
sionals to submit their
POLST forms by faxing
them to 503-418-2161.
“By having more com-
pleted forms in the registry,
emergency medical person-
nel will more often have
vital treatment information
in a time of crisis.”
Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out. ~ Anton Chekhov
Caves offers youth summer job program
Oregon Caves National Monument again is
participating in the Youth Conservation Corps
(YCC) summer job program.
There will be two to four enrollee positions
available at the monument, some 20 miles east
of Cave Junction.
YCC is a summer employment program at
minimum wage for young men and women
ages 15 through 18, who work and learn to-
gether by participating in conservation work on
public land. This four to eight-week job oppor-
tunity is offered from June 14 to Aug. 6.
The position entails a variety of work,
from physical to clerical, and can include
serving as a tour guide. Applicants must be in
good physical condition. This work can be
challenging, yet adventurous, as well as
strenuous, hot, dirty and sweaty, according to
a spokesman.
Forty hours of natural and cultural resource
conservation education programs will be incor-
porated into the scheduled work period. These
programs will provide information on the diver-
sity and mandated responsibilities of all Na-
tional Park Service areas, and often include
field trips to other parks or areas.
No housing is available. All participants
must bring a lunch and be able to provide their
own transportation to and from the monument.
Those 15 to 18 years old who wish to apply
should phone Pat Fine at 541-592-2100, Ext.
2224, and leave a detailed message including
name and address to receive an application and
information packet. Speak clearly and spell
name, street and city if necessary, Fine said.
Chosen applicants will be notified no later
than June 1 of their selection for this program.
Selection is based on random drawings of quali-
fied applicants.

Rules about home CO alarms updated
The 2009 Oregon Legis-
lature passed House Bill (HB)
3450, the Lofgren & Zander
Memorial Act, requiring
properly functioning carbon
monoxide (CO) alarms be
installed in sleeping areas of
dwellings with a CO source.
CO sources include, but
are not limited to: heaters,
fireplaces, furnaces, appli-
ances or cooking sources us-
ing coal, wood, petroleum
products, or other fuels emit-
ting CO as a byproduct of
combustion.
Petroleum products in-
clude kerosene, natural gas, or
propane. Attached garages with
doors, ductwork or ventilation
shafts connected to a living
space are also sources of CO.
The temporary rules for
existing structures are effec-
tive July 1. Comments on the
temporary rules must be sub-
mitted by Oct. 1. The final
rules are scheduled to be filed
in December 2010.
“We worked with citizen
advocates, the Oregon fire ser-
vice, representatives from
health, manufactured housing,
multifamily housing, home
builders, sellers, and renters to
create rules aimed at successful
compliance,” advises State Fire
Marshal Randy Simpson. “We
all want to protect the public
from carbon monoxide poison-
ing.”
Who does what, when?
HB 3450 specifies implemen-
tation dates:
*July 1, 2010 - Office of
State Fire Marshal Adminis-
trative Rules effective date.
*July 1 - For all new rental
agreements, landlords must
provide properly functioning
CO alarms for rental dwelling
units with, or within a structure
containing, a CO source.
*April 1, 2011 - Land-
lords must provide properly
functioning CO alarms for all
rental dwelling units with, or
within a structure containing,
a CO source.
*April 1, 2011 - Home
sellers of one- and two family
dwellings, manufactured
dwellings, or multifamily hous-
ing units containing a carbon
monoxide source must have
one, or more, properly func-
tioning CO alarm before con-
veying fee title or transferring
possession of a dwelling.
*April 1, 2011 - All new
construction of one- and two
family dwellings, manufac-
tured dwellings, or multifamily
housing units containing a
carbon monoxide source must
have one, or more, properly
functioning CO alarm before
conveying fee title or transfer-
ring possession of a dwelling.

mation about them can be

TIAL TENANTS The property in which you are
living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is sched-
uled for 8/18/2010. Unless the lender who is fore-
closing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will
go through and someone new will own this prop-
erty. The following information applies to you only
if you occupy and rent this property as a residen-
tial dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement.
The information does not apply to you if you own
this property or if you are not a residential tenant.
If the foreclosure goes through, the business or
individual who buys this property at the foreclo-
sure sale has the right to require you to move out.
The buyer must first give you an eviction notice in
writing that specifies the date by which you must
move out. The buyer may not give you this notice
until after the foreclosure sale happens. If you do
not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can
have the sheriff remove you from the property
after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the
court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU
TO BE NOTIFIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING
AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESI-
DENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE
RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW RE-
QUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU A NOTICE
IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS
BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO
MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT RE-
QUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NO-
TICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31,
2012. Under federal law, the buyer must give you
at least 90 days' notice in writing before requiring
you to move out. If you are renting this property
under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month
or one-year lease), you may stay until the end of
your lease term. If the buyer wants to move in and
use this property as the buyer's primary residence,
the buyer can give you written notice and require
you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a
fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left.
STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS IF
THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE
LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE
YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIR-
ING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPY-
ING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TEN-
ANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL
LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFEC-
TIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE RE-
QUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL AP-
PLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if
you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-
month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you
at least 60 days' notice in writing before requiring
you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and
use this property as the buyer's primary residence,
the buyer can give you written notice and require
you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a
fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. If you
are renting under a month-to-month or week-to-
week rental agreement, the buyer must give you
at least 30 days' notice in writing before requiring
you to move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be
required to give you a notice under state law, you
must prove to the business or individual who is
handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupy-
ing and renting this property as a residential dwell-
ing under a legitimate rental agreement. The
name and address of the business or individual
who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on
this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE". You
must mail or deliver your proof not later than
7/19/2010 (30 days before the date first set for the
foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing
and should be a copy of your rental agreement or
lease. If you do not have a written rental agree-
ment or lease, you can provide other proof, such
as receipts for rent paid. ABOUT YOUR SECU-
RITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply
your security deposit and any rent you paid in ad-
vance against the current rent you owe your land-
lord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in
writing that you want to subtract the amount of
your security deposit or prepaid rent from your
rent payment. You may do this only for the rent
you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you
must do so before the foreclosure sale. The busi-
ness or individual who buys this property at the
foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any
deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord.
ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORE-
CLOSURE SALE The business or individual who
buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be
willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of
requiring you to move out. You should contact the
buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to
stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent
from you, signs a new residential rental agreement
with you or does not notify you in writing within 30
days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you
must move out, the buyer becomes your new
landlord and must maintain the property. Other-
wise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not re-
sponsible for maintaining the property on your
behalf and you must move out by the date the
buyer specifies in a notice to you. YOU SHOULD
CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LAND-
LORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO AN-
OTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A
COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHER-
WISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE
EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE
ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT OR RENT YOU
PREPAID AGAINST YOUR CURRENT RENT
OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF
ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND OF ANY NO-
TICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CONCERNING
THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DEPOSIT OR
PREPAID RENT. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY
PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE
YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO
COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMA-
TION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH
TO CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you
need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State
Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Con-
tact information for the Oregon State Bar is in-
cluded with this notice. If you do not have enough
