8A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL AUGUST 16, 2017 Gleaners Continued from A1 However, Gleaner Sherry Adams said the group was appealing the decision and asking that the suspension be lifted until the situation could be properly liti- gated. "If they lift the suspension, we'll be gleaning this Friday," she said. Adams also said that the crux of the sus- pension, from her un- derstanding, stemmed from a complaint that the organization's mandate that residents work in exchange for boxes of food violated Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) stan- dards. "Google it. 90 per- cent of Gleaner orga- nizations in the state make people work for their food," Adams said. The local orga- nization asks people to help clean-up af- ter distribution nights and help sort the food obtained by Food for Lane County. It's Ad- ams' contention that, because the Gleaners come after local food pantries in line to re- ceive food, there is more work involved in collecting and distrib- uting it. "We do more work than a regular food bank," she said. Adams also said the local Gleaner organi- zation will be fi ling a complaint of discrimi- nation with the Oregon Food Bank and USDA Civil Rights. "We're being discriminated against," she said. Several Gleaners or- ganizations across the valley varied on wheth- er they required people to work for their boxes. Sweet Home Gleaners in Linn County does not have a work re- quirement while the Eugene Area Gleaners does not currently of- fer boxes. According to a representative, the group connects people with gleaning opportu- nities. Those that take part in the opportuni- ties are allowed to keep what they glean. Extra food is then offered to the group. According to Edmonds, the Cot- tage Grove Gleaners have up to 90 days to comply with the changes Food for Lane County has requested. When asked if those changes included ceas- ing all mandates that people work to receive food, Adams noted that the group planned to appeal the decision and that "sometimes it's nice for people not to get a hand out." Until the situation has resolved, those uti- lizing the local Glean- ers organization for food are left to fi nd other sources. Director of Community Shar- ing, Mike Fleck said, "I'm 99 percent sure it's the same USDA in- come requirement," for his program. QUAKE Continued from A1 are different but it is a con- cern," she said. Cook's advice to patients is fi ll prescriptions as soon as pos- sible to build up a surplus of medication. "I know someone who, in six months, managed to put away about two week's worth of med- ication," she said. Residents in rural and coastal areas may need all two weeks. The Cascadia Quake, according to seismologist Chris Goldfi n- ger, is not your average quake. Rather than the ground shaking and splintering, it will wave for up to fi ve minutes. Roads will be subject to what's known as liquefaction and become liq- uid while dangers of a tsunami for coastal residents remain a possibility. The expected 9.0 earthquake was cited in a 2015 Pultizer Prize winning article, in which Goldfi nger was the scientifi c source, as having the possibility of creating a death toll near 14,000 and an injury count nearing 30,000. "They should not wait un- til the last minute to get their prescription refi lled," said Pau- la Neglele, public information offi cer for Oregon Emergency Management. Neglele said res- idents should note the earliest date they are able to refi ll their medications and place them in an easy-to-access area. "Our hope is that there will be medical locations open," she said. She also noted that patients could speak with their doctors about their medication concerns, calling the issue a "personal health concern." "Their physician is the best resource," she said. Jill Chaplin, chief of primary care for PeaceHealth Medical Group said consequences for stopping medications dead tur- key depend on which medica- tions patients are prescribed. "The consequences of being without chronic medication var- ies depending on the medication and the condition for which is was prescribed, and also the length of time the medicine is not taken. Assuming the medi- cation is missed for three to fi ve days, the effect of missing med- ications would be: Blood pressure medications: Blood pressure will rise, heart rate may rise, with increased stress on the heart and blood vessels. If a patient has under- lying coronary disease, this may trigger angina, or arrhythmia. Diuretics: Fluid retention. If the patient has congestive heart failure, this may cause acute heart failure, which is an emergency and can be fatal if untreated. Anxiety and depression med- ication: Stopping selective sero- tonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) drugs like Celexa or Prozac suddenly can cause withdrawal, with dizziness or “zinging” sen- sations in the limbs. Stopping tranquilizers like Lorazepam or Clonazepam suddenly can cause rebound anxiety, withdrawal symptoms similar to delirium tremens (shaking, confusion and hallucinations), seizures, and, in some cases, death. Narcotic pain medication: Can cause withdrawal, with cramps, diarrhea, anxiety, nau- sea and vomiting, body pain and shakes. This is very unpleasant, but not life-threatening. Asthma medication: Can cause a fl are up of asthma. The severity depends on how severe the underlying asthma is. Birth control pills: Will bring on menses. It also increases the risk of pregnancy. Anticoagulation: Stopping as- pirin, warfarin, or other oral an- ticoagulants causes gradual re- turn to normal coagulation, with risk of heart attack or stroke depending on the underlying condition. Diabetes medication: Elevat- ed blood sugar. In type 2 dia- betes, if severe, this can cause illness, with increased urination and thirst, dehydration or blood mineral imbalances. In type 1 diabetes, stopping insulin can cause ketoacidosis, where the body produces excess blood ac- ids. This is life-threatening. Arthritis medication: Stop- ping non-steroidal, anti-infl am- matory medicine will increase pain. Stopping chronic Pred- nisone (a steroid used to treat many diseases and conditions related to infl ammation) sud- denly may cause low blood sugar, low blood pressure and shock." PeaceHealth stated that its doctors and staff are held to lo- cal, state and federal regulations governing medications that lim- it their ability to prescribe large amounts of medication. Sarah Alleh of PeaceHealth said, "Al- though we recognize that this means community members are unable to stockpile medications for disaster preparedness kits, these precautions have been established with overall com- munity health and safety as the top priority. We want to assure both Cottage Grove and the sur- rounding areas that PeaceHealth Cottage Grove Community Medical Center is committed to meeting the health needs of our patients, and our caregivers are trained and ready to do every- thing they can to address com- munity health needs in times of crisis." Locally, disaster plans for Cottage Grove are in fl ux. Pre- vious planning director Howard Schlessor stepped down from his post earlier this year which included leading the local dias- ter response. Since his depar- ture, the planning and commu- nity development offi ces have combined under new director, former Lane County Commis- sioner Faye Stewart. According to Stewart, he has yet to take over the lead on diaster due to regulations that require he take classes prior to assuming the role. He is, however, moving toward the role and said he is aware of the dangers posed by the Cascadia Quake. Th e News & So Much More Find Local Garage & Estate Sales In Print & Online Today! Name a park after you in CG? Die, wait a year By Caitlyn May cmay@cgsentinel.com During the Monday, August 14 city council meeting, coun- cilman Jake Boone had a sug- gestion: don't name anything after anybody until they've been dead for at least a year. Boone's suggestion came during the portion of the meet- ing that allows board members to voice concerns or report on issues. Boone noted that, in re- viewing other city council rules, he found this one, meant to pre- vent the city embarrassment. "We don't want to have some- thing like the O.J.. Bridge or the Bill Cosby Park," he said. "They could do something to embarrass the city you than have to do something about," he continued. He also noted the recent controversy surrounding the University of Oregon and its renaming of facilities bearing the names of KKK members. It was, however, pointed out during the meeting that the un- versity named the buildings after the men after they had passed away. Boone is expected to raise the issue as an agenda item at a fu- ture city council meeting. Lorane News In spite of the drizzly rain Sunday morning, there was still a good attendance at the Lorane Com- munity Potluck and the Annual Lorane Fire Department Ice Cream Social.
