The Heppner Gazette-Time. Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, February 19, 1981-THREE BMCC Board reviews The BMCC Board of Educa tion met In ttpecial sension Weclni'Hdny evening, Fob bruary 11. The meeting was held in order to review plans for an inNtructional-support-serviccs building that would houne admiHHions, busincsii and the instructional deans' officeo on campus. AJS Lynch and Company, architects, presented prelim inary sketches and plans to the board both on site and genera! design of the building. Jim Lynch of the firm explained to the bourd the proposed general layout of the new building and the functions it would serve. The interior design, as presented, is of the open office design with free standing partitions to allow for future growth and interior flexibility. The location of the building is to the northwest of Morrow Hull and northeast of Pioneer Hall and would lend itself to ease of student flow during registration periods between those existing structures. In keeping with the college's emphasis on energy conserva tion, the new building would boast skylights, high-intensity indirect lighting and natural flow ventilation. The exterior is proposed as a reflected glazing that would reflect heat during the summer months to reduce cooling needs. The building, as proposed, is 4,WKi square feet at an estimated cost of approxi mately $:i(r4.H(K). Several ques Childhood Emergencies Injuries By Glenn W. Morgan. M.D.. Philomath f atnlly Medicine, P.C. (This is the third of five clip-and-save articles on childhood emergencies.) All children get various scrapes, bumps, bruises, cuts, sprains and other hard knocks in the school of life. As a parent, you need to know what to do - when to dismiss a minor injury and when to be concerned and seek medical attention Tills will serve as a partial guide, but if you have questions, it is beat to consult your family doctor. CUTS, small scratches that don't gape open don't need stitches. A "butterfly" bandage can be useful on small cuts to bring the edges together. It is of no value, though, in infants and toddlers who can rip them off as fast as you can put them on. Wounds that do remain open with the edges spread apart need stitches. Apply pressure with clean guaze on the bleeding site to stop the bleeding, then clean the wound thoroughly with water and aoap. Then try to spread the wound open - if it opens up, it should be checked by a physician. This needs to be done within eight hours if possible. If there is a delay, it may be too late to stitch up due to risk of infection. PUNCTURE WOUNDS should be thoroughly cleaned and tetanus should be up-to-date. In deep punctures, a doctor should be consulted because there is a high risk of infection deep in the tissues. He may need to widen the puncture site opening to allow better drainage of infection. SCKAPES, especailly if dirt or gravel is in the wound, should be thoroughly washed and scrubbed. It hurts, but it will prevent infection. If left with all that dirt, it will surely get infected and hurt much more. After cleaning, an antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or neosporin should be applied and covered with a loose gauze dressing. This should be changed daily until a crust or scab has formed and then left open. Any signs of infection (redness, pain, pus drainage) should be checked by a doctor. Whenever the skin is broken, tetanus (lockjaw) can occur. Make sure tetanus immunization is current. BUMPS AND BRUISES usually only need a kiss to feel better. An exception is a knock on the noggin. Children usually do well, even when hit fairly hard. If swelling starts, an ice pack should be applied to decrease the swelling. If the child is knocked out, cries longer than a few minutes, vomits, acts sluggish or "funny," or staggers when walking, a doctor should be called. Head injuries above and in front of the ear (temple area) can be especially worrisome. SPRAINS are more of a problem in older children. If the joint can be moved through its normal range of motion, is not black and blue or very swollen, it probalby is OK. There are three main principles in treating sprains; 1 ) Keep it elevated - higher than the next joint up for as long as it is swollen. For example, a sprained ankle should be kept higher than the knee. 2) Apply an ice pack for the first 4-6 hours. 3) After 24 hours, heat is helpful to reduce swelling. Sprains that are badly swollen, black and blue, very tender, limit motion or cause numbness or tingling should be checked by a doctor. . FRACTURES (broken bones) may be hard to spot. If a child has an injury and then doesn't use the injured part normally, he should be checked. Greenstick fractures of the forearm can happen after a minor fall and cause only slight swelling. However, the child won't use his arm very much. Injuries of the elbow can be especially serious in children, because most of the growth of the arm takes place there. Elbow injuries and all fractures need medical attention. Sometimes an injury causes symptoms in other places. Broken collar bones (clavicles) often cause pain in the shoulder and inability to use the arm on that side. If a child won't use his arm after an injury, feel along the collar bone for a tender bump not felt on the other side. If present, it probably means a fracture. If parents learn these simple guidelines about injuries, a lot of anxiety can be prevented. All kids suffer injuries and usually do quite well. The key is in knowing what you can do at home, and fhen to see your family doctor. tions during the presentation were posed to the architects regarding the interior and exterior design of the struc ture. The board, in its final comment to the architect, asked that additional effort be made to cut cost in the new structure. The common feel ing on the part of the board members was to reduce costs to approximately a $250,000 level, if possible. Suggestions to reduce costs Included: a redesign of the outside skin; a change in roof structure and design; possible reduction of . total square Two county 4-H'ers to be selected for state government conference hyBIKIMXKTl'I.I.IS. Morrow Extension Service Two Morrow 4 H'ers will be selected to represent the county at the "Know Your State Government Confer ence to be held in Salem. March 15 17. The two selected will have the oportunity to meet state government offic ials, including the governor, attend legislative sessions and committee meetings, as well as explore career opportun ities in government. Another exciting aspect of the confer ence is the chance to get acquainted with members from other counties, and share new building plans footage; a more modest ap pearance; and reduced appointments within the interior of the structure. The board did support the proposed floor plan and en couraged Mr. Lynch to put together additional designs incorporating the board's thoughts for reconsideration. In other business, President Hon Daniels informed the board of a plan for develop ment of a recreational area at Eastern Oregon Hospital and Training Center. The college has been in discussion with EOH & TC regarding a baseball and rodeo area on ideas and experiences. The Conference is offered every two years, when legisla ture is in session. 4-H mem bers in imh. 11th. and 12th grades are eligible to apply to attend. Application forms have been nailed to all enrolled mei hers in that age group. Funds are provided by the 4-H council to cover costs of the delegates.
