Yearly deaths from pain medication are climbing. Other side effects can include constipation, liver and kidney damage; addiction from them is real and a growing problem. Pain is a signal that something is wrong. Pain medication does not fix the problem — it changes the brain. Reducing pain can be as simple as iden - tifying its source and providing a differ - ent approach — chiropractic is an impor - tant part of that. “Maybe you don’t have to live with it.” Call 503-325-3311.

College invests in paging system for emergencies Natural gas leak in June a reminder of risk By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian The Clatsop Community College Board on Tuesday voted to spend up to $35,000 on phones and infrastructure for a campuswide paging sys- tem for emergencies. “The most important thing is getting messages to people very quickly, and campus pag- ing is the way to do that,” said JoAnn Zahn, vice president of inance and operations. The expenditure, paid for by the proceeds from an aca- demic building the college sold in Miles Crossing in 2011, will buy phones and related infrastructure for rooms to ensure the college can page classrooms through the phones in an emergency. The college currently uses social media and Bandit Alerts cellphones and email to notify people of emergencies. Zahn, who attended a cam- pus safety and security forum recently with other members of the college, said the need for campus paging became clearer when the college’s main campus in Astoria evacu- ated in June after a natural gas leak in Columbia Hall, with one person left behind in the bookstore. “They had to self-evacuate, because we didn’t know they were there,” she said. “But with the natural gas leak, they did get overwhelmed with the fumes and left. We could have gotten him out of there much faster with a campus page.” Christopher Breitmeyer, overseeing his irst board meeting as college president, said his former school, St. Charles Community College in Missouri, installed a simi- lar paging system that helped evacuate the campus in the face of a tornado warning. “It was amazing the level of compliance we had,” he said. “The thing that scares me most is … I don’t want to be respon- sible for anyone we could have helped and not doing our best. This is a irst step. I think there’s some other steps we’re going to do as well, but this step is a irst.” In other news: • Breitmeyer said the search for a new vice pres- ident of academic and stu- dent affairs is underway. He said former Vice President Donna Larson started this month in a dean’s position at Clackamas Community College. • The college suspended the Early Childhood Edu- cation program because of weak enrollment. Of 25 enrolled majors in the pro- gram this academic year, the college reported, only four students completed any credits. Kristen Wilkin, dean of workforce education and training, said the college is working on teach-out plans to help existing students fin- ish their degrees. Seaside delivers Fallen Badge donation Mayor Larson presents group a $10,000 check By R.J. MARX The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — Seaside made good on its promise to the Ore- gon Fallen Badge Foundation, presenting a $10,000 donation to the organization for support in the aftermath of the shooting death of Sgt. Jason Goodding. Goodding, 39, died in Feb- ruary after being shot serving a warrant on convicted felon Phillip Max Ferry on Broad- way downtown. In the aftermath, the foun- dation partnered with the Sea- side Police Department to pro- vide backup and logistical support for the memorial ser- vice, attended by more than a thousand visitors, many of them law enforcement and irst responders from around the country and Canada. The foundation served as point of contact for volunteers, honor guard and city oficials. Mayor Don Larson deliv- ered the contribution to Ore- gon Fallen Badge Founda- tion board member Bob Miller at Monday’s City Council meeting. “I think everybody in this room that went through this has thanks that are as deep as they could ever be,” Larson said. “The check we’re going to hand you is a $10,000 check from the people of the city of Seaside — the people whose lives you touched — the lives your own people touched, in such a tremendously tragic situation.” Miller served as dep- uty logistics director for the W A NTED Alder and Maple Saw Logs & Standing Timber N orth w es t H a rdw oods • Lon gview , W A Contact: Steve Axtell • 360-430-0885 or John Anderson • 360-269-2500 NOW OPEN & WE NEED YOU! response. “I was a go-fer,” he said. “I had to go around to different businesses in town and ask people for things.

Call Stephanie 503-965-7779 ext. 307 Before this first appointment, it is very important for all to realize that the child’s teeth are very important in the development of his/her jaw. As soon as they begin to erupt, at approx. 6 months, it is so important to keep the baby teeth cleaned. You may use a soft brush or a finger gauze. Baby teeth accumulate plaque and bacteria just as adult teeth. Also, please be aware and careful of nighttime nursing bottles and a lack of cleaning the child’s teeth which may lead to a condition called nursing bottle syndrome (lots of decay). If all this is followed, teeth look good, child has no complaints, then first visit somewhere around age 2-1/2 to 3 is a good time to check. What’s a quick way to spruce up my home and yard?
