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.

Flu Season Came Early In Much Of
North America, And A Second Surge
May Be On The way.
“ People who caught influenza
earlier in the season could get it again,
especially if a different strain hits,”
said Dr. W. 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. The Portland Ass. of Teach
ers represent 4600 employees in the
Portland District.
toms and duration of an influenza A
attack can be minimized by amanta
dine.
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. It ranks with
