A : ASTORIA CHIROPRACT I C Ba rry S ea rs , D.C . 503 -3 25-3 3 11 2935 M a rin e Drive, As to ria , Orego n Motor vehicle accidents cause a variety of injuries because of an abrupt change, like the cracking of a whip. In less than a second, many tons of force are transferred to the body, including ligaments, muscles, disks and joints. Those tissues stretch and tear and do not heal without proper care. Injuries can include neck, back, jaw, shoulders, ribs and knees. Chiropractic care has been shown to be effective and gentle to restore normal function after injuries and accidents. Even if your injury is older, we can help. Astoria Chiropractic has been providing excellent services in Astoria for 35 years. should I have Q: Why my teeth cleaned twice a year?

However, for many patients who struggle with plaque control, have poor brushing habits, inadequate diets, smokers, and patients with medical conditions such as diabetes a more frequent cleaning interval is recommended and appropriate. And yes, there are the few patients out there who do an amazing job of home care and can remain healthy on just an annual cleaning visit and checkup.

A : Lead: Announcement is a recommendation only Continued from Page 1A The Oregon Department of Education, the Oregon Health Authority and the state’s Early Learning Division will provide technical support and information for the state’s 197 school districts and recom- mend a list of state-certiied labs to test the water. The plan also calls for those labs to report results to the Oregon Health Author- ity, which will build a data- base for public use this fall, said Robb Cowie, an agency spokesman. The announcement is a recommendation only, how- ever, and the state can’t require school districts to test. Currently, districts that have their own water supply are monitored by the state health oficials for lead in the water. But the majority of schools receive water from municipal systems. These schools aren’t monitored for lead in the water beyond the testing done by the municipal network. That can be a problem because many older schools have pipes that can leach lead into the water at the site. “There’s growing con- cerns in the school districts and we just wanted to do what we could to get infor- mation out on best prac- tices,” said Amy Wojcicki, spokeswoman for the Oregon Department of Education. Edward Stratton contrib- uted to this report. public places for tips. Most people are familiar with street musicians busking but buskers can be any type of entertainment from balloon artists and clowns to painters, dancers and magicians. Astoria Sunday Market welcomes buskers of all types and simply asks that they abide by some simple courtesy rules. Amanda Cordero Northwest Wild Products Fresh Seafood Market 354 Industry St, Astoria 503-791-1907 Daily 9 am -7 pm On the docks of the West Mooring Basin, by the Riverwalk Inn Unlike our seafood, which is local, our exotic meats come from all over the world. Most of the Wild Boar products come from Italy. Our Python comes from Vietnam. The Iguana is from Peru, and the Kangaroo is from Australia. U.S farmed meats include Elk and Venison (Idaho,) Rattlesnake (Texas) Frog legs (Louisiana,) Snapping Turtle and Alligator (Florida.) Almost all exotic meats are farmed and their production is environmentally safe and sustainable. Exotic meats are healthier than most traditional farmed meats, because they are leaner, hormone and antibiotic free, fed a better diet and generally free range.
