The Pap Test
A Healthy Habit For Life
B Why is a Pap Test important to me? Because it can save your life!
D What is a Pap Test? It's to test to check for abnormal changes in the
cells of the cervix (the opening to the uterus). It is also the first step in
screening for cervical cancer. When found early, cervical cancer is easier
to treat.
D When should I start having a Pap Test? When you are: age 18 or
older, or under age 18, and have had sex.
How often do I need a Pap Test? Have a Pap Test every year, or
more often if recommended by your health provider.
Older women need Pap Tests too. Even women who have already gone
through the change of life (menopause) need a Pap test every year.
Women who have had a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus)
should ask their health provider how often they need to have a Pap Test.
D Please call your provider and make an appointment today.

Samson Loomis
Age: 6
Birth date: May 2, 1994
School: Home Instruction
Family: My parents are Sam and
Christie Loomis of La Pine, OR. I also
have an older sister who helps me a lot
in my home school education.
My maternal grandparents are Marvin
Kimsey and Eleanor Kimsey of Grand
Ronde. My paternal grandparents are
William (Bill) Loomis who has passed
on and Shirley Loomis of Lincoln City.
I also am very fortunate to have great
grandparents who are Loren (who re
cently passed on) and Nora Kimsey of
Grand Ronde and Clifton and Helen
Reynolds of McMinnville.
Some of my school activities include
learning how to read words. I can read
most of all of the signs when we go to
town like, McDonalds Blockbuster,
Aladdin's Palace Arcade, Go-Karts,
Toys R Us, and words like that.
We also did a lot of exploring the out
doors this last school year. My Dad
and I go exploring the area where we
live almost every day. We see a lot of
wildlife like lizards, tree frogs and bull
frogs and deer and squirrels and my
Dad even found a horny toad! It looked
like a miniature dinosaurl We always
let the animals go that we catch but we
liked the horny toad so much we kept
him for a whole month before we let
him go. We often see coyotes going
through our yard to go to the river.
We invited a group of home
schoolers to come to our house every
Thursday to work on all sorts of Arts &
Crafts. It was great fun and I met a lot
of new friends.
My biggest interest is learning how
. vwf .
things work. I like to build with Legos....
A LOT! I'm very creative with them
and build a lot of neat Star Wars things
with them. Star Wars is one of my fa
vorite movies.
Where I live it gets very hot in the
summer and the snow gets REAL deep
in the winter! I love to be outside when
ever I can whether it is cold or hot! I
have been swimming a lot this sum
mer at McKay's Crossing which is near
Paulina Peak. I love the area I live in.
There is a lot to do here.
If you are ever in Central Oregon,
you can go to the High Desert Museum
where I have been attending classes
for kids called, "High Desert Explor
ers." The museum has a lot of Native
American history there. It has been a
lot of fun and I've learned a lot about
my heritage and culture.
Mom asked me what I want to do
when I grow up and I said, "I want to
stay home and work out and take care
of my family."
Editor's Note: We would like to apologize for the error in the 1999-2000 Honor &
Recognition Keepsake Issue. Samson was listed as a 3rd grader. He has just com
pleted kindergarten. Sorry for the error.
