Painkillers
and anti-inflammatories
can get us through a tough time with
back, neck, head or leg pain, but they
weren’t designed for long-term use.
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.”

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

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.
