Quit Bugging Me Warm weather brings many things with it, including ore insects. Mosquitoes, flies, ticks and fleas are all bothersome, but any people really dread bees and wasps. But, if we learn a little bit about bees and wasps, we can avoid them more easily. And that means we can reduce our chances of being stung. Bees and wasps (which includes hornets and yellow jackets) are kind of like distant cousins to each other. They have some basic things in com mon, but they are different from each other, too. They are all flying insects, Pour the marinade over the meat; f all have work to do, and all have cover and refrigerate until you are ready to grill. Both they dressing and the sauce cost under $3 .00. Variation: A variation on both of your above ideas is cut your meat Shish Kabob style. You can use metal skewers if you have them or else there are bamboo sticks available for less that a couple of bucks. Cut your meat1 homes. Also, many of the females will sting to defend themselves. Yet, they are different from each other, do different kinds of work, live in dif ferent kinds of homes, and some are less likely to sting than others. Generally, bees are less likely to sting than wasps are. This is because most kinds of bees are solitary (live into 1-2 inch cubes and marinate as- ,,by fli6ils'e'Jves1, Hbtinahive)f,'s0they suggested ,above.

Using skewers is the best way to keep the vegetables from fall ing into the grill. Save some mari nade to pour over veggies as you grill ; them, and even toss a bit more on af ter they are cooked, for flavorful and healthy experience. Some vegetables; you can use are: onions, tomatoes,' greenred peppers and mushrooms. Make sure you cut pieces big enough, that they can be skewered without breaking. It does work best to put all the same veggies on a skewer. On-' ions might take a while to cook but the tomatoes go fast so you can' keep things from burning by waiting to put them on until the beat is almost ready.

Terri, 19, completed her high school career by graduating from Madras High School. Terri was origi-' nally in the graduating class of 1998, but she took some time off to have her children. Terri took a year off of , school to work after giving birth to her son Te-Yush-Y in April 1998. Then after having her daughter, Se-' quoia in July 1999, Terri only took six months off. When Terri was asked ,. how she achieved, she said it wasn't easy. When Terri attended Buff Learning Center she would have to re-enroll every time she stayed home longer than three days to take care of her children if they got sick. When COIC returned to Warm springs, she went there in the mornings to com plete her work at her own pace. Af ter she left COIC, Terri would work eight hours behind Kah-Nee-Ta Lodge's front desk in the evenings. Terri didn't have regularly scheduled days off, it varied on a weekly basis. But that didn't stop her form going everyday. Terri says that determina-i tion was her key to success. She also, says that she couldn't have done it without the support from her boy friend, Lil Bull Owl Suppah, his mother Mercedes Miler and his sis ter Penny. They took care of the chil dren while Terri worked and attended; school. Terri is originally from Phoe nix, Arizona and is an enrolled mem ber of the San Carlos Apache Tribe. Terri said that life was pretty hard moving from Arizona to Oregon. She had few friends and no family other the Lil Bulls. Terri also thanks her friends Lori Suppah, Carol and Joe Tombom and Cyndi Treadway fro helping make her life easier by sup porting her and helping her feel at home. Terri's advice to other teen par ents is to set your mind and heart on something and believe that your can get it done. "Life is too precious to nectar to feed themselves and their young. Three kinds of bees that most people know about are honeybees, bumblebees and carpenter bees. Hon eybees are social bees; this means that they live in large communities (called nests or hives) and work together to raise young and to maintain the nest. They are small, furry and yellowish with black markings. Bumble sees are much larger than honeybees (4-5 times bigger) and usually are yellow and black and make a deeper buzzing sound. Bumblebees live in communities like honeybees do, but there are fewer bees in a bumblebee nests than hon eybee nests. Carpenter bees look very much like bumblebees but are not as fuzzy and carpenter bees are solitary, so they do not live in com munity nest. Instead, each female makes her own burrows in wood (that's why they are called carpenter bees) where she puts pollen and then lays her eggs. Because honeybees live in very large communities where they raise may many your, they are very protective of their hives.. So, if someone disturbs their nest, they will sting to defend it. Bumblebees are also protective of their nests but are not as likely to sting as honeybees. Because carpenter bees are solitary, , they have no community to defend, so they are les likely to sting unless they are squished. Unlike bees that collect pollen and nectar for food, wasps hunt in sects to eat and to feed their young. Adult wasps also drink sugary flower nectar for extra energy. Like bees, some wasps are social and some are solitary (some live in communities and some live alone). Yellow jackets and hornets are social wasps: they build communities and work as a group to raise the young. So, an important part of their job is protecting the 'babies' of the community. That mean they are very aggressive when their nests are dis turbed. Both yellow jackets and hor nets build their nests of wood that they have chewed to make a past, but yellow jackets build their nests un derground while hornets build theirs above ground in trees cr bushes. Yellow jackets are usually yellow with black markings and are large and longer than honeybees. Hornets are larger that yellow jacket and they are black with white or yellow markings. There are many other kinds of wasps besides yellow jackets and hor nets. Other wasps are generally very slender, they are usually shiny and can be black, brown or reddish in color. Some may have minor yellow or white markings. Paper wasps build nests of chewed wood and mud daub ers build their homes with mud. AH wasps hang on with their mouthparts w hen they sting, so they can sting re peatedly. Now, if we remember what these insects look like and which are ag gressive, we have taken a big step towards not being stung. If we also think about where they like and work, we can be even more careful. Be cause yellow jackets build their nests in the ground, its very hard to know a nest exists unless you see a yellow jacket entering or leaving the nest from the small hole in the ground. Often people are stung by yellow jackets when they mow across the nest entrance or disturb the nest in some other way (digging around it, etc.) Also, yellow jackets are at tracted to sugary substances like soda, juice and fruit and they are attracted to carrion , so they are often in and around trashcans and may crawl in side drink cans or bottles. Hornets and paper wasps, which build nests in trees, under eave, under awnings, etc., are often disturbed and sting when people are cutting wood or pruning treesbushes, cleaning gutters or repairing roofs. Bee stings can happen when people sit in clover or i in wild flowers and when people are gardening or picking flowers, don't see the bee and accidentally grab it, squish it or sit on it. Being aware and careful in these situations can really help to prevent stings. There are a few other things to remember, too. Bees, yellow jack ets, hornets, and other wasps are less active in the dark and cool hours, so plan to do certain chores, like mow ing the lawn, in the evening (but please don't mow in the dark). Wear ing light-colored, drab clothing is less likely to attract these insects and wearing fitted clothing rather than baggy of flowing clothes reduced the chances that a stinging insect will become trapped inside your clothing. Also, avoid wearing perfume or other fragranced products because they can attract stinging insects. And, finally, don't swat at them! However, if you are stung, it is important to know what to do. Re member that these insects are most likely to sting when you are neat their nests, so your first reaction should be to run at least 50-1 00 feet away from . the area where you are stung. When they sting, bees and wasps release an 'alarm pheromone' - a chemical sig nal that tells the others in the com munity that the nest is in danger - so the others in the nest will fly toward that signal to help. So, if you fun, you are moving away from that sig ' nal, and you will decrease your chances of being stung agam. Honeybees loose their stingers when they sting (this means they die after they sting), and the stinger of ten remains on your skin. The stinger will be visible and should be removed by scraping it out with a driver's li cense, credit card, or something simi lar. Do not remove a stinger by pinch ing it with your fingers or with twee zers because you will squeeze more venom into your skin. Wasps, yel ' low jackets, hornets and most bees don not lose their stingers when they sting. So, if you are stung by one of these gals, your next step after run ning should be to stop them from stinging you as quickly as possible (it's okay to smack these insects now because they are already stinging you) Then, you should treat the sting, Taking and over-the-counter antihis tamine such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and a pain reliever (ibuprofen or acetaminophen will help control your body's reaction to the sting and ease the pain and swell ing. Applying ice wrapped in a towel can also decrease discomfort and sell ing. Making a paste out of meat ten derizer and water and applying it to your skin will help to break dow n the protein in the insect's venom. Be sure to use a brand of tenderizer that con tains papain (papaya fruit enzyme). After being stung, if you begin to get hives, have a dry cough of difficulty breathing, have abdominal pain, feel nauseated or vomit go to the emer gence room for treatment because you are probably having an allergic reaction that can be deadly. Remember, if you know that you are allergic to any stinging insects or if you have a parent, who is allergic, please talk with your health care pro vider now about what to do if you stung. Hopefully, by knowing a little more about bees and wasps, you and your family will be able to avoid be ing stung. Best wishes for a summer free of stings. "The Pocket Guide to Insects of the Northern Hemisphere." McGavin, George C. HIS Question of the Month: "What is the Chicken Pox Vac cine and what are the requirements?" This month, EHS Home Visitor Gabby Sohappy asked the question," What is the Chickenpox Vaccine and Why do you need one? Chicken pox, (also called Vari cella) is a common childhood disease. It is usually mild, but can be serious, especially in young infants and adults. The chickenpox virus can be spread from person to person through air, or by contact with fluid from the chickenpox blisters. It causes rash, itching, fever and tiredness. It can also lead to severe skin infection, scars pneumonia, brain damage or death. About 12,000 peope are hospitalized from chickenpox each year in the United States. The Chickenpox vac cine can prevent chickenpox. Most people who get the chickenpox vac cine will not get chickenpox. But if someone who has been vaccinated does get chickenpox, it is usually very mild. They will have fewer spots, are less likely to have a fever and will recover faster. Who should get Chickenpox Vaccine and When? Children should get one dose of the chickenpox vaccine between 12 and 18 months of age, or at any age after that if they have never had chickenpox. People who do not get the vaccine until 13 years of age or older should get doses 4-8 weeks apart. Ask your doctor or nurse for details. The chickenpox vaccine can be given at the same time as other vaccines. Some people should not get the Chickenpox Vaccine, or should wait. People should not get the vaccine if they have ever had a life-threatening reaction to gelatin, the antibiotic neomycin or (for those needing a sec ond dose), a previous dose of the vac cine. People who are moderately or severely ill at the time the shot is scheduled should wait until they re cover before getting the vaccine. Pregnant women should wait and get the vaccine after they have had the baby. Women should not get pregnant for one month after getting the vac cine. People who have recently had a transfusion or were given other blood products should check with their doc tor about whether they should get the vaccine, including anyone who: has HIVAIDS or another disease that affects the immune system, is being treated with drugs that affect the im mune system, such as steroids, for two weeks or longer. Anyone who has any kind of cancer should not get the vaccine and anyone who is receiving cancer treatment with x-rays or drugs. What are the risks from the Chickenpox Vaccine: A vaccine, like any medicine is capable of causing serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. The risk of this vaccine causing serious harm or death is extremely small. Getting the vaccine is much safer than getting the chickenpox disease and most people who get the vaccine do not have any problems with it For more information on the side affects on this vaccine, ask your doctor at the clinic. What should I do? You can call HIS at 553-1196 and ask to speak to a doctor or a nurse for more information on the vaccina tion. They w ill be glad to help!
