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.

Name a park after you in
CG? Die, wait a year
By Caitlyn May

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. It was wonderful to
see everyone out and the rain disappeared. The fi rst offi cial day of fall sports began on August 14.
Contact the school girl further information. Crow football jamboree at Crow Middle/High School
is August 16. Be sure to get your school supplies. There are lots of sales in the stores. Check with
the district website for supplies. School begins the day after Labor Day.
