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

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
