Clean Air Plan Adopted
Dr. Algie Gatewood, president of Portland Community
College, Cascade Campus and member of the Oregon
Solutions Project, opens a news conference June 20 to
announce a voluntary plan to reduce diesel emissions to
improve local air quality, helping people suffering from
asthma and other health related problems. The effort, led
H ere w h en yo u n e e d usl
A.D. Williams
by Gov. Ted Kulongoski, got agreements from private and
public entities to reduce diesel emissions from heavy on­
road, rail and marine traffic as well as from off road
construction equipment. It includes the use of cleaner
fuels and add on control devices and idle reduction
strategies.

Cool Down Tips to Survive Hot Weather
Eldery, disabled
m ost at risk
As temperatures rise above
90 degrees, older adults and
persons with disabilities are par­
ticularly at risk for heat stroke
and heat exhaustion. Symptoms
may range from generalized
weakness and fatigue to dizzi­
ness, rapid heartbeat, diarrhea,
nausea, shortness of breath,
mental confusion, throbbing
head ach es, v o m itin g , and
cramping.
Hot weather can place a dan­
gerous strain on the heart, and
can exacerbate other medical
conditions such as hypertension,
diabetes, and circulatory and
respiratory problems.
O ffic ia ls at M ultnom ah
County’s Aging and Disability
Services Division urge family
m em bers and neighbors to
check on their elderly or dis­
abled friends and relatives dur­
ing the hot weather.
According to Aging and Dis­
a b ility
S e r v ic e s ’
Paul
larrobino, “People affected by
the heat may not recognize
they have a problem. Many
senior and disabled folks live
alone, may not get out much,
and so it is critical that some­
one check on them .”
Some tips for combating the
heat include keeping aircircu-
lating with fans; taking cool
sponge baths; going to an air
conditioned building whenever
possible; older adults can visit
their local senior center, the
library, or take a trip to the
mall.
W ear loose-fitting, light­
weight clothing; if going out,
wear a hat, drink water often,
don't wait to get "thirsty.” Avoid
coffee, tea, and alcohol. Avoid
hot food and heavy meals and
limit physical activity and direct
exposure to the sun.
Check with your health care
provider about how the warm
weather may affect your pre­
scription drugs. Contact your
health provider if you experi­
ence prolonged heat-related
symptoms, or if those symp­
toms significantly affect the
ability to care for yourself.

Dear Michael:
Yes blood is thicker than w ater but
bliss som etim es is better than broth­
erhood. Let your brother sow his
wild oats in peace. If you were the
one in a relationship you would
understand the happiness during
the honeym oon phase o f dating.
Support your brother and get to
know his girlfriend because if their
love grows, sh e’ll be your new sis­
ter-in-law and you' II never win this
battle or any others. I n other words,
if h e 's not being m istreated, mind
your business.
I lost w eight and now I have a new
attitude, a new hairstyle and new
outlook on life. All o f my friends
w ho should be happy for me are
jealous, treating me bad and talking
about me behind my back. I noticed
they never had a problem when I
was the fat chick in the group but Dear Deanna:

Dear Deanna!
I’m com plaining about my brother
I 'v e lost due to a relationship.
H e 's been datin g this girl for a
few m onths and she pulls him by
the nose. He does ev ery th in g she
says, ignores the fam ily and tries
to be som ething h e 's not in order
to p lease her. I t's annoying b e ­
cause if I w ant him to hang out. he
says it cau ses arg u m en ts w ith his
girlfriend. How do I let my brother
know that blood is th ick er than
w ater and he needs to loosen up
SWDELPHM
I hope you had a nice trip. O f course
hardcore rap music is okay if you
want your children to grow up im­
pressed by women dropping it like
it's hot or guys being gang bangers.
Your children apparently are still
young and haven't had the opportu­
nity to become destructive but if
they ever do. they'll have grxxJ old
mom to thank as you cry your eyes
out and pull your hair from the roots.
