A case of influenza has been confirmed in
Portland, bringing the flu season to Oregon
earlier than usual this year, according to the
Oregon Department of Human Services.
“Our best advice is, get your flu shot,” said
Dr. Mel Kohn, state epidemiologist.
Influenza usually appears in Oregon in late
November or early December. Kohn said.

care facilities. People who live, work or provide
care to high-risk persons are also considered
high risk for flu.
Healthy persons who want to avoid the flu or
who simply wish to do their part to reduce
transmission should also be immunized.

Making a Difference for Kids
Jeanne Batchelor, a north Port
land resident, is receiving special
recognition forher work w ith com
munity organizations, benefiting
local children.
As an employee of Portland Gen
eral Electric, she is one of the first
recipients of the com pany’s Out
standing Volunteer Award.
“C h ild re n are ou r fu tu re ,”
Batchelor said. "I w ant them to have
•a better chance and improve their
self esteem . I want to let them know
people do care about them — some
times that’s all it takes to make a
difference. 1 don't always have ex
tra money to donate. So instead of
money, 1 donate my time, because
that I do have.”
Batchelor has been m akingadif-
ference at Clarendon Elementary
School for the past three years.
After seeing children in her
neighborhood walk to school with
out warm coats, she worked with
Touchstone, a Multnomah County
program that provides school- and
community-based family support
to students in need.
Touchstone offers a variety of
services designed to help families
build on their strengths to over
come the challenges brought on by
parenting, poverty and unforeseen
circumstances.
Batchelor contacted Columbia
Sportswear to ask for a donation of
coats at cost to purchase with con
tributions from em ployeesofPG E’s
accounting department. The fol
lowing two years, she persuaded
Columbia to donate hoots and PGE
employees purchased coats to give
to Clarendon students.

We are recruiting healthy volunteers and people
with Parkinson's disease (PD) of all ages to
participate in a study involving a non-invasive
brain stimulation technique. This study may
contribute to improving the quality of life of
those who are suffering from Parkinson's disease.
We are trying to assess the therapeutic value of
this stimulation technique in PD patients as
compared to healthy volunteers. Initial
participation in this study requires volunteers to
attend four visits over the course of a month.
You may also be selected to participate in
additional experiments (up to 12 visits).
Each visit lasts no longer than 3 hours. You will
receive $30.00 in compensation for each visit that
you attend. Complete initial participation in the
first four visits pays $120.00.
