Fire District 1
gets new cardiac
monitor
HERMSITON —
Umatilla County Fire District
1 has a new cardiac monitor
in one of its ambulances
thanks to a $32,500 grant
from TransCanada Corpo-
ration.
The new monitor will
replace one of ive aging
monitors, Battalion Chief
Jeff Adkins said in a news
release, allowing the district
to focus on securing funding
for the remaining monitors.
The monitor will be placed in
the district’s irst-responding
advanced life support
ambulance.
“Last year, we responded
to almost 3,400 emergency
medical calls,” Adkins said.
“Having this monitor could
literally affect thousands of
lives.”
The donation was made
through TransCanada’s Gas
Transmission Northwest
Pipeline. Gas Transmission
Northwest has operated a
natural gas pipeline in the
Hermiston area since 1961.
Rick Duncan, Regional
Director for TransCanada,
said in a statement that
the companies understand
and appreciate the role that
irst responders play in a
community and wanted to
support that.
“We believe in supporting
the communities where
we have pipelines because
thriving communities are
good for everybody,” he said.

made pizzas using English
mufin halves, tomato sauce,
low fat cheese and an array of
colorful vegetable toppings to
choose from.
“We want them to know
that there are healthy snacks
available, that they have
options,” Cobb said. “One of
the things that kids can really
do to improve their diets is
just eating more vegetables.”

HERMISTON
Dozens of health care
clinics, itness companies,
nonproits and other Umatilla
County agencies teamed up
Saturday to promote health
and wellness in Hermiston.
The Family Health &
Fitness Day was back after
a two-year hiatus, and drew
a steady crowd to Hermiston
High School throughout the
day.
One draw might have
been the free loaf of multi-
grain Dave’s Killer Bread
from Portland that everyone
was given as a healthier
alternative to processed white
bread.
Other free samples came
from booths that lined the
walls, offering free merchan-
dise, information, healthy
snacks, lu shots and health
screenings.
Helena Wolfe of the
Area Agency on Aging was
advertising health-promoting
programs such as Tai Chi for
Better Balance. The class is
free at the Hermiston Senior
Center and helps avoid
painful falls by improving
core strength and balance.
“It’s gentle, it’s fun and
anyone can do it as long as
they can walk in under their
own power,” she said.
Wolfe said she was
pleased to see such a large
turnout for the event and
hopes that people walked
away with information that
could help them and their
families lead healthier lives.
“It’s getting people aware
that there are programs in
place — and these programs
are all free — that can help
them improve their health,”
she said.
In another gym Good
Shepherd Health Care System
employees hosted the “teddy
bear clinic” to walk children
through the procedure of
going to the emergency room.
Children picked out
a teddy bear and named
it, giggling as nurses
proclaimed “Batman needs
an x-ray” or “Brownie broke
his femur.” Once the bears

Lomas said she thought the
event was a good one.
“It’s pretty cool getting to
see the little kids have fun,”
she said.
In another part of the
building, Amy Coven of the
Oregon Health Insurance
Marketplace was helping
educate people on their health
insurance options.
“The biggest thing is that
open enrollment starts Nov.
1, so we want people to know
they need to start logging in
and looking at health plans,
because they’ve changed a
lot in the area,” she said.
Coven said the Family
Health & Fitness Day was
a perfect opportunity for
health-related
organiza-
tions to reach community
members.
“There is a lot of free
assistance available to people
locally,” she said.
Council and one of his next
sources is the public at large.
Turner convened
a committee of local
government, community and
business oficials in August
to create a preliminary list
of 12 goals for the next three
years.
Turner is soliciting input
to whittle the list down to
three or four main priorities.
Besides presenting the list
to community groups across
town, Turner will hold three
public meetings at Pendleton
City Hall’s Community
Room to gather input.
• Oct. 13, noon-1 p.m.
• Oct. 14, 7 a.m.-8 a.m.
• Oct. 17, 5 p.m.-6 p.m.
After the list of goals is
inalized, Turner expects the
city council to consider it
after he’s sworn into ofice in
January.
