The Hoedads Restoration

John Sundquist.
The hoedad is a hand tool
that is used to plant bare-root
trees on steep slopes. HRC
Soroptimists donate to ‘Smart Girls’
met success in applying the
cooperative model to tree
planting. The HRC was active
throughout the Northwest
from 1971 to 1994. Many of
its workers had college
degrees and were known for
environmentalism, feminism
and alternative economics.
The SWC supports sound
economic, social and environ-
mental uses of natural and
human resources in the
Siuslaw River Basin.
The council encourages
cooperation among public and
private entities to promote
awareness and understanding
of watersheds by adopting and
implementing a total water-
shed approach to natural
resource management.

In the midst of Oregon’s cur-
rent flu epidemic, PeaceHealth
Peace Harbor Medical Center
echoes the Center for Disease
Control’s recommendation that
residents of Florence and the
surrounding areas with mild flu
symptoms and other non-emer-
gent health issues visit their
primary care physician or a
drop-in clinic to avoid further
inundating the emergency
departments.
A large influx of flu patients
may cause lengthy delays for
emergent patient care and
cause those who are not sick
with the flu to catch it.
Peace Harbor has seen a sig-
nificant increase in positive flu
cases this season. Flu symp-
toms may include fever, cough,
sore throat, runny or stuffy
nose, body aches, headache,
chills, fatigue, diarrhea and
vomiting. Those experiencing
mild cases of these symptoms
without high risk of flu compli-
cations can contact their health
care providers for advice.
Anyone with emergency
warning signs of flu sickness,
including difficulty breathing
or shortness of breath, pain or
pressure in the chest or
abdomen, sudden dizziness,
confusion, severe or persistent
vomiting and symptoms that
improve but return with
increased fever and coughing,
should head to the emergency
department.
More vulnerable populations
— such as those two years or
younger and those over 65 —
and patients with additional
medical conditions should also
seek care in the emergency
department.
“To help prevent the spread
of the flu, community members
should be vigilant about thor-
oughly washing their hands
throughout the day and cover-
ing their mouths when they
cough or sneeze,” advised Dr.
Bob Pelz, Medical Director,
Infection
Prevention
for
PeaceHealth Oregon Network.
“Sick individuals — both
adults and children — should
stay home from work or school
in order to prevent the spread
of the disease.
“And, even though flu sea-
son
has
already
been
announced, it’s not too late to
get a flu vaccine.”
More flu recommendations
can be found on the CDC’s
Influenza website at www.cdc.
gov/flu/takingcare.htm.
