PeaceHealth, local schools partner for Sports Physical Day
On Wednesday, June 6, PeaceHealth
Medical Group in Florence will part-
ner with the Siuslaw and Mapleton
school districts to provide free sports
physicals to students.
Sports Physical Day will be held
from 8 a.m. to noon at Siuslaw Middle
School, 2525 Oak St., in Florence.
PHMG will contribute medical
supplies and the time and expertise of
five providers and several medical
assistants for the event.
Sports physicals are required in
order for youths, grades 6 through 12,
to participate in extracurricular
sports.
The exams are critical for safe
sports participation. They can help
screen athletes for potential illness or
conditions that may limit or restrict
their ability to participate in a school
sport, and help ensure that students
are physically capable of meeting the
demands and don’t have conditions
that may be aggravated by intense
exercise.
The Sports Physical Day exam
includes height, weight, blood pres-
sure and pulse check, as well as an eye
chart exam and examination by a
provider.
Also included is a questionnaire
that asks about medical history. If a
provider encounters a medical issue,
the information is documented and
parents and/or guardians are notified
so they can follow up with the stu-
dent’s primary care provider.
Sports physical forms are available
at local schools, and must be com-
pleted and signed by the student’s
parent and/or guardian prior to the
exam.
T HIS M EMORIAL D AY W EEKEND , PREVENT YOUR CAMPFIRE FROM TURNING INTO A WILDFIRE
SALEM — Sitting around a
campfire is one of the special
times we all enjoy, but camp-
fires are also a major cause of
wildfires. May is Wildfire
Awareness Month, and Keep
Oregon Green, the Oregon
Office of the State Fire Marshal,
and the Oregon Department
of Forestry urge Oregonians to
follow these basic outdoor
safety tips:
Know before you go
Before going camping, call
your local forestry or fire dis-
trict to learn if there are any
current campfire restrictions
at your destination. You can
also visit www.keeporegon
green.org for planning a fire-
safe trip to the outdoors.
Kick the campfire habit
this summer
Portable camp stoves are a
safer option to campfires at
any time of year. Areas that
prohibit campfires outside
maintained campgrounds with
established fire pits often allow
camp stoves.
Select the right spot
Where campfires are
allowed, choose a site with an
existing ring. Fire pits in estab-
lished campgrounds are the
best spots.
If you choose to build a
campfire, avoid building it
near your tent, structures,
vehicles, shrubs or trees, and
be aware of low-hanging
branches overhead.
Clear the site down to min-
eral soil, at least five feet on all
sides, and circle it with rocks.
Store unused firewood a good
distance from the fire.
Keep your campfire small
A campfire is less likely to
escape control if it is kept
small. A large fire may cast hot
embers long distances.
Add firewood in small
amounts as existing material is
consumed. Placing a log on
the fire rather than dropping it
from a height will prevent a
big shower of sparks.
Attend your campfire at all
times
A campfire left unattended
for even a few minutes can
grow into a costly, damaging
wildfire. Stay with your camp-
R AZOR CLAMMING NOW OPEN
SALEM — The Oregon
Department of Agriculture
(ODA) and the Oregon
Department of Fish and
Wildlife (ODFW) announce
the reopening of razor clam-
ming from Cascade Head to
the mouth of the Yachats
River as domoic acid levels
have dropped below the alert
level.
The harvesting of razor
clams remains closed from
Yachats River to the north
jetty of the Umpqua River
and closed from Cape Arago
to the California border. This
includes all beaches and all
bays.
Razor clams from Siuslaw
Beaches were collected May
18, 2018 with results expect-
ed mid-week the following
week. A result below the alert
level will allow for the open-
ing of razor clams from the
Columbia River to Cape
Arago.

fire from start to finish until it
is dead out, as required by state
law.
That ensures any escaped
sparks or embers can be extin-
guished quickly.
Never use gasoline or other
accelerants
Don’t use flammable or
combustible liquids, such as
gasoline, propane or lighter
fluid, to start or increase your
campfire. Once the fire starts,
discard the match in the fire.
Have water and fire tools
on site
Have a shovel and a bucket
of water nearby to extinguish
any escaped embers. When
you are ready to leave, drown
all embers with water, stir the
coals, and drown again. Repeat
until the fire is DEAD out.
If it is too hot to touch, it is
too hot to leave.
Burn only wood
a $110 fine. But by far the big-
gest potential cost is liability
for firefighting costs if your
campfire spreads out of con-
trol.
These can range from a few
hundred to tens of thousands
of dollars or more.
During Wildfire Awareness
Month visit the Keep Oregon
Green website, www.keepore-
gongreen.org for other wild-
fire prevention tips.
State regulations prohibit
the open burning of any mate-
rial that creates dense, toxic
smoke or noxious odors.
Burning paper and cardboard
can also easily fly up to start
new fires.
Escaped campfires can be
costly. Oregon law requires the
proper clearing, building,
attending and extinguishing of
open fires at any time of year.
