Bethel Heinrich (left) with new Librarian Rene Devin
Bethel Heinrich is officially retir
ing from her position as librarian
from the Heppner Public Library
Bethel has worked at the library
since 1978 and when she took over
the job. one of the first things she did
was to "w eed out" the books that
had not been checked out for six
years pnor That job took quite a lit
lie while fhen she said a good deal
of her job was "listening to what
people want and getting it for them
Since 1978. the circulation of the
library has almost tripled The cir
culation is now between 12 and 14
thousand books per year This alone
says what Bethel has accomplished
in the 10 years she has been there
She say s she has had the complete
cooperation ot the city and budget
committee which has been a big help
to her.
The story hour on Thursday mor
ning has helped tremendously in
bringing more people in to use the
library
Bethel says that she "can truthful
ly say that she enioyed this job more
than anything she has ever done
Although she will nnss the people,
she will still he doing volunteer work
and she will also he on the library
hoard
Her last idea expressed the hope
that "people will return hooks on
time for the new librarian "
the 24 hour service is operated joint
Iy by St Vincent Hospital and Pro
vidence Medical Center in Portland,
both Sisters of Providence hospitals
Aircarc was designed to give patients
from rural communities swift access
to a tertiary care hospital, one that
provides highly advanced, technical
services such as cardiac care and
neurosurgery St Vincent Hospital
is an internationally renowned car
diac center
On April 18 Kay was taken to
Pioneer Memorial Hospital after suf
fenng a major heart attack She was
cxpcricnccing cardiogenic shock,
meaning her heart was unable to
pump Mood cfficicnily, this condt
lion is fatal in 80 to 90 percent of pa
tients Her blood pressure had plum
meted and she was in extreme pain
Dr Wallace Wolff, her physician
and Dr Herbert Sender, a car
diologist on staff at St Vincent pro
mptly arranged for Kay to be
transported by Aircarc helicopter to
St Vincent Hospital and Medical
Center (The trip, nearly 200 miles
by car, took less than an hour.) At
St Vincent. Dr Semlcr immediate
ly inserted an intra aortic balloon
pump, which helped the patient s
heart m pump blood in order to cor
rect the cardiogenic shock
Angiography (x-ray of the coronary
arteries) and insertion of a special
cardiac catheter, among other pro
cedures were used to determine the
extent ol her divea.se Doctors deck)
ed to treat her with medication in
stead <>| surgery Kay required inten
sive nursing care with the intra
aortic balloon pump in place for
several days, and she remained in
Friends organize
collection for
Thongdy
critical conditon for about two
weeks Her progress was slow hut
steady Happily, she was able to he
discharged from the hospital May 6
W ithout a doubt. Dr Sender says,
the availability of Aircarc saved
Kay's life. "In cardiology, we say
‘time is muscle' The quicker the pa
tient can get to a hospital for
emergency treatment, the more like
ly the heart muscle will he saved, by
bnnging patients in by air am
bulancc. time is saved and as a
result, heart muscle is preserved
Dr Sender has been involved in care
of over 800 Fastern Oregon cardiac-
patients
Of Aircarc. Kay says. " I t ‘s just
fantastic that they could get to me
and get me here (to St Vincent) in
time It was the ony hope I had I
wouldn't have lived had I not been
brought here I thank my luc ky \tars
that it (Aircare) was going " She
adds with a smile, " I don't want to
have to take another fancy flight like
W ju again. "
The director of flight operations
lor Aircare is Paula Derr. R N .
(C R N . of St Vincent Hospital,
formerly Paula (irahenhorst, who
grew up in Condon and graduated
from grade school and high school
there Paula was on the flight to
Heppner that picked up Kay In
terestingly . Paula's brother had been
friends with Kay's sons years ago
Over the course of recovery. the two
women had a chance to chat about
their similar roots, and Paula
brought her itaughters by to meet
Kay at the hospital Payla says of
Kay. "she's a lucky lady" and notes
that she " has done tremendously.
She's very vicacious She's a go-
getter She has a very wonderful
supportive family." Paula says Kay
is " a prime example" of the type of
critically ill patient from a rural area
whom Aircarc is meant to serve

" I went up and saw him ." said
stronger "Things are not so rush

hospital, "and he's doing better "
