Eage8...The Portland Observer.. January 22, 1992 Two Jail Facilities to Receive National A ccreditation What makes Quick Central big news? It's simple During the week beginning Mon day, January 20, 1992, the American Correctional Association (ACA) will be conducting its annual winter confer ence in Portland at the Oregon Conven tion Center. On Monday, January 20, 1992, between 12 noon and 1:30 p.m., Multnomah County Sheriff Bob Skip per will receive Accreditation Awards for two jail facilities that were recently distinguished by the commission on jail accreditation for the ACA during their inspection and accreditation proc ess in 1991. The award luncheon will be held at the Lloyd Center Red Lion in the Multnomah and Holladay rooms. The Multnomah County Inverness Jail, the newest of the five correctional facilities in Multnomah County, re ceived a near perfect score after the visiting professionals had rated the jails compliance. The Multnomah County Restitution Center, 1115 S.W. 11th, Portland, also was accredited by the comm i ttee and had a near perfee t score. Sheriff Skipper remarked, “ The Inverness Jail is a state of the art facility that is a model of institu tions of the future. The Restitution Center’s award shows the diversity and professionalism of the Corrections staff at the Sheriff’s office. The accredita tion of this older hotel demonstrates that its the Corrections personnel who make the difference and not the struc ture.” The awarding of accreditation is the culmination of a lengthy process of compliance with standards set up by the American Correctional Association. The Multnomah County Detention Center (downtown Justice Center) was accredited by the ACA in 1990. Other facilities throughout the United States will also receive accreditation certifi cates at the luncheon. There's nothinc c o m p lic a te d Join Any Class Any Time a b o u t it.

Paul Glezen of the Influ enza Research Center at Baylor Col lege of Medicine in Houston. “ But people who have been vaccinated are likely to be protected. The two influ enza A viruses circulating are similar to those include din the current vac cine.” Flu season generally peaks in late January or early February', but an un usually early round peaked in Novem ber. Those most at risk for potentially fatal flu complications are the elderly and people with heart disease, lung disease, asthma, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, chronic anemia, sickle cell anemia and im mune-system disorders. “ It is still not too late for people in the high-risk groups to get flu shots,” Glezen said. “ Such patients can be protected by taking the prescription drug amantadine during the 14 days it takes for the vaccine to provide full protection.” Most of the influenza this season has been type A, and the symp The Portland Association of Teach ers-- Teachers Voice in Politics announce our endorsement of Earl Blumenauer for Mayor of Portland. “ The mayor of Portland will have a profound effect on our local schools in these times of budget cut backs. The Portland schools have close ties to the City of Portland,” explained Ann Nice, Chair of PAT/ TVIP. “ Earl has the experience, the vision and, most importantly, has dem onstrated the leadership necessary to pull everyone together.” “ There is no one running for mayor who has been more committed to edu cation and to children over the past twenty years than Earl Blumenauer,” added Nice. “ Our experience with Katz has been that if she has an agenda she won’t listen toothers. We need a mayor who will listen and work with us. Earl is a very thoughtful person who listens and engages people in the process,” added Nice.

Influenza usually strikes suddenly and brings fever, generalized muscle pain, weakness and a dry, hacking cough. Flu suffers should get plenty of rest and drink lots of liquids, Glezen said. Adults may take aspirin or an aspi rin substitute to reduce fever and pain, but people younger than 21 should use only aspirin-free products. Aspirin has been associated with Reye’s syndrome, a flu and chicken pox complication that can cause vomit ing, convulsions, brain damage and even death in children, said Glezen, an epi demiologist and pediatrician. As bad as this current season has been, it pales by comparison with the 1918 worldwide flu epidemic that af flicted 500 million people and killed 20 million. More than half a million died in the U.S. The 1918 epidemic killed more people in less time than any other disease in modem history.
