November is foot care awareness month During November, Diabetes month, ten public and private agen cies are launching "Feet Can Last a Lifetime", a foot care awareness cam paign to reduce the number of ampu tations among people with diabetes. More than 54,000 diabetes-related amputations are performed in the United States each year. Costing as much as $40,000 each, more than half.of these amputations could have been prevented with proper foot care. Many amputations are the result of nerve disease, a serious problem for many Americans with diabetes. Because nerve disease often leads to lost sensation in the feet, people with diabetes feel no pain when they in jure a foot or toe. As a result, a minor injury can become infected and, with out proper treatment, can lead to amputation. People with diabetes can reduce their risk of amputation by following a few simple guidelines: 1) Check your bare feet every day for' cuts, Christmas parade set for December 2 The third annual Christmas Lights Parade will be held December ,2 in Madras.

As soon as they started one call two more calls were waiting to be answered. This continued through out the day and then some on the following Sunday. , These types of crimes are getting out of hand, the police department is doing all they can to get answers for the victims of these crimes. With the activity that goes one in the evenings and late nights, the man power we now have does not meet demands for service. We are taking measures to beef up staff at night and graveyard shifts. We will be doing Field contacts on anyone and everyone that is out on foot or in area's where people arc not normally seen during those times of the night, Wc will be using spot lights on houses and business buildings and again area's that have been reported active. Over the last two weeks we have received calls related to Gun shots around in the housing area's. These calls arc juvenile and adult's and possibly Gang related incidents. We have made a few arrests on gun related calls and have suspect names for other incidents. On one incident it turned out to be some fireworks that had been set off by juveniles and the call was said to be unfounded. Most of the incidents that we get calls on, wc have no suspects and all wc have is just names of people that they suspect might have done it. These people are questioned and we do not have evidence to put them at the scene of the crime. We need to have witnesses to these crimes, as these crimes are costing your neighbor hundreds of dollars, the next incident may cost you more money if these incidents are not sores, bumps and red spots. 2) Have your doctor check your bare feet at every visit. 3) Wash your feei in warm, not hot, water every day. Do not soak your feet. Remember to dry between your toes. 4) Cut your toe nails straight across. Use an emery board to smooth sharp edges that could cut the next toe. "Health care providers nationwide can use the message from this cam paign to help pepjpje.with diabetes lead healthy, active Uve.s and reduce their chances of serious foot-related complications, such as amputation," said Marilyn H. Gaston, assistant surgeon general and director of the Health Resources and Services Administration's Bureau of Primary Health Care. Many of the ten partner agencies will sponsor workshops in November-to teach people with diabetes how to take care of their feet. Some ncrpnripc uill nlcn hr1-t urvrl'cVinnc tr teach health care professionals how to identify people with diabetes who have lost sensation and are therefore at risk for developing foot problems that may lead to amputation. One hundred and seventy-two veterans hospitals across the country will offer similar workshops to mark Veteran's Day. Diabetes is a major health problem among veterans, ac ; counting for an estimated 9,000 am putations annually at a cost of about $341 million per year.' "Foot ulcers and other foot prob lems that can lead to amputation are a major cause of serious infection, death and disability for our aging veterans suffering from diabetes and nerve disease," said Dr. Martin Mussman, national program director of VA Podiatry Services. "Our goal is to reduce the incidence of lower extremity amputation to meet the health initiatives set by the Federal government." . The public and private agencies participating in this national aware ness campaign include: American Association of Diabetes Educators: American Diabetes Association; stopped.
