City Manager Brant

percent of the cost, they
have a right to be heard,”
he said.
But, he added, “People

Cadwallader also asked

the paving would generally
follow the existing right of

around trees now will re-
main that way, even if they
are paved, he said.

Prescription card program off ers discounts
Clatsop County has
joined a new program
to help county residents
manage the cost of pre-
scription medications.
Through a partnership
with the National Associ-
ation of Counties, the free
prescription discount card
program provides Clatsop
County residents with a
card that can save them
an average of 24 percent
off the retail price of pre-
scription medications.
The card is available
for use regardless of age
or income and can be used
by those who do not have
insurance or who have
prescriptions not covered
by insurance.
The card can also be
used to save money on
some pet medications. It is
accepted at 65,000 phar-
compositions,”
Woods
said.
She has won awards for
her contemporary oil paint-
ings, and her work has been
published.

Get screened.
A colonoscopy can save your life.
We know. It’s not a test you’re looking forward to. But because colon cancer has no early
warning signs and can be deadly if it progresses, screening is essential. Colorectal cancer is
highly preventable. If caught early, it’s highly curable. If you are age 50 or older, or at
higher risk, ask your doctor about colon cancer screening.
March is National Colon Cancer Awareness Month.
To learn more or to find a local physician who performs colonoscopies,
please call 503-717-7000, or visit www.providence.org/coloncancer.
At Providence, it’s not just health care, it’s how we care. ™
