____ _______________ __________________________________________ ________________________ Strawberry Festival Summer days can create safety hazards Straw berry Run of three and 10 kilometers An American Legion baseball tournament w ill continue through the weekend on the college's b a s e b a ll fie ld and the Gresham Eire Department w ill host an in v ita tio n a l water ball tournament. The festival is a "ce le b ra tion of com m unity," accor ding to coordinator Bob Dematteis "The idea is to invite all aspects of the com m unity. including the col lege. to celebrate the fact that we are a com m unity." The summer months w ill bring sunshine and outdoor activities, but w ith those leisure days come potential hazards to humans With the return of warm weather comes the swarming of bees and wasps Eor most people, the venom of the stinging insects is annoying, but not a serious health pro blem Eor some, however, the bee sting can be fatal. There are individuals w ho are allergic to stings Insect stings cause more deaths each year than snake bites, according to the American Medical Association The most common stinging insects are bees, hornets, wasps, yellow jackets, bumble bees and fire ants The sting causes pain, swelling, redness, itching and burning If stung by a honey bee, carefully remove the stinger by gent ly scraping with a knife blade of fingernail Wash with soap and water Place ice wrap ped in cloth or cold compresses on the sting area Soothing lotions, such as calamine, or a paste of baking soda and a little water are often helpful in relieving discomfort Those allergic to insect stings suffer from a condition known as anaphylactic shock It can occur sometimes from only Other events include a b ic y c le s a fe ty ro d e o , c h ild re n 's film fe s tiv a l, heirloom quilt exhibit in the A rt M all G allery, a blown glass demonstration, "new gam es" on the lakeside lawn and energy conservation demonstrations. The day is designed like an old fashioned country fair. There w ill be booths fe a tu r ing food items, games, hand crafts and services Many of the food booths w ill contain various straw berry dishes Open entry contests w ill follow the country fa ir pat tern of the festival Entries w il l be a c c e p te d fo r straw berry desserts, jams and jellies, homemade ice c re a m , and q u ilts and quilted items Continuous entertainment w ill be provided by campus and comm unity volunteers, in clu d in g vocal and in strumental groups, dancers and a clown S p o rtin g e v e n ts a re scheduled throughout the day The MHCC athletic department is sponsoring a Eor more inform ation on the festival, call Dematteis at 667-7474 one sting if the victim has been stung previously. Insect sting shock symptons include severe swelling in other parts of the body, such as around the eyes, lips and tongue. Weakness, coughing or wheezing, severe itching, stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting, anxiety , d ifficu lty in breathing, dizziness, collapse, unconsciousness and hives or rash over the body often follow quickly after the sting It is im portant to open an airway and restore breathing Some experts suggest using a tourniquet in severe reactions where a life m ight be at stake Emergency insect sting kits available only by prescrip tion sometimes contain tourniquets It can be used only if the sting is on an arm or leg Don t tie it too tight and loosen every five minutes until medical help arrives A wat- chband or belt can serve as a tourniquet. Place cold compresses on the sting area Keep the victim lying down unless he is short on breath Then let him sit up Keep the victim quiet and comfortable if a first aid kit for insect stings is available, use ac cording to directions The return of warm weather has also meant the return of swimmers to oceans and rivers And, inevitably, some of those swimmers w ill drown. In try ing to help someone who is in trou ble in the water, remember to be careful of your own safety The drowning person can pull the rescuer down w ith him Keep calm and do not overestimate your strength. If the victim is near a pier or edge of the pool, hold out your hand or foot You can also toss a life preserver, or extend a pole, board, rope, towel, chair or anything han dy If the victim is unconscious and you suspect a neck or back in ju ry from diving, place a board under head and back while he is still in the water to prevent further damage L ift him out on the board Use a boat if the victim is some distance from shore Start a rtific ia l breathing at once, before the victim is entirely out of the water Use the mouth-to-mouth technique Continue resuscitation on the bank; first clear the mouth and airw ay of foreign matter. T ilt the victim 's head back, pinch his nostrils shut, cover the victim 's mouth with your own and give four quick breaths Then give approxim ately 12 breaths per minute, until you can see the victim 's chest rise. If the victim 's stomach is bloated with swallowed water, put him on his stomach, place both hands on the stomach and lift We’re 30 Years Young, 76 Stores Strong...and Growing! r Once breathing is restored, keep the v ic tim com fortably warm with blankets, coats or towels Do not give food or water Call an ambulance or take the victim to the nearest hospital wth an emergency room if he is still unconscious, have so meone else drive so you can continue ar tific ia l breathing, if necessary If there is no pulse, cardiac compression should be started To be effective, this re quires someone trained in the technique I, must be done at the same time as a rtific ia l breathing If the rescuer is alone, give 15 chest compressions, then two quick breaths if two rescuers are present, one of them gives five chest compressions for each breath from the other People w ho have been submerged m cold water i below 70degrees > often can survive without brain damage Some victims have been under for as long as 38 minutes and still lived Mouth to mouth breathing and heart compression must be started as soon as possible and continued for several hours, even if the victim appears dead The above medical advice comes from Frank (h ap pell of the American Medical Association.
