These 15 risk factors are: 1. Econom ic and social deprivation; 2. Low neighborhood attachment and community disorganization; 3. Community laws and norms favorable toward drug and alcohol use; 4. Availability of drugs; 5. Family history of alcoholism; 6. Family management problems; 7. Parental use of drugs and alcohol and positive attitudes toward use; 8. Low commitment to school; 9. Academic failure; 10. Early antisocial behavior; 11. Alienation or rebelliousness; 12. Antisocial behavior in early adolescence; 13. Friend who use drugs and M arket Report Heppner Elks 358 9o tivation and implementation of trauma care to fictitious trauma vic tims; review of emergency services available, emergency medical record review, and the policies and pro cedures for activating air transport. With the receipt of Pioneer Memorial’s Level 1IV designation came additional responsibilities: all physicians covering the emergency room are required to have Advanc ed Trauma and Cardiac Life Support Certification (ATLS and ACLS); all nursing staff that cover trauma call are required to have Trauma Nurse and Advanced Cardiac Life Support Certification (TNCC and ACLS). These certifications once received require recertification on a routine basis. Presently 10 of the 11 registered nurses at Pioneer Memorial Hospital are Advanced Cardiac Life Support certified and seven of the 11 are Trauma Nurse certified. Pioneer Memorial Hospital is very proud of its staff and their en thusiasm to provide the best feasible trauma care available. Implementa tion of Oregon’s Trauma System has been a major coup in caring for the trauma patient, whether in the Metropolitan areas such as Portland or the rural areas such as Heppner.

Risk factors contribute to drug/alcohol use Compliments of the Morrow County Grain Growers Look for Hide Barrels Around Town 676-9181 To the Editor: This letter is in reference to the ar ticle published in the Oregonian Sept. 11, reprinted in this week’s Gazette. The implementation of the Oregon Trauma System has not only improv ed the care of the trauma patient in the large metropolitan areas but it has also raised the expertise of the trauma care in the rural areas such as Heppner. In June o f 1990, Pioneer Memorial Hospital became an of ficial part of Oregon’s Trauma System by receiving a level IV designation. In order to receive this designation multiple changes and im provements in the present system of provision of emergency services had to occur. The first step was to pro mote a total commitment by the en tire hospital staff to provide trauma care to those in need. This commit ment was not only required of the specific trauma team members: physicians, RNs, laboratory techni cian, X-ray technician and designated EMTs; but from staff members in all departments: dietary, maintenance, housekeeping, etc. The next step was to write and submit a 60 page proposal requesting Level IV designation and member ship in the Oregon Trauma System. The result of this proposal was an on-sight survey from the state. This survey included, but was not limited to, an actual mock trauma team ac Tues. Weds. Thurs. Fri. Sat. Sun. Mon.

The Heppner-Lexington Oregon Together Community Group looked and studied these 15 risk factors and decided to focus attention on three of these: Favorable attitudes toward drug and alcohol use; family management problems; and early first use of drugs and alcohol.

We Can N ever Go Back I don’t water ski. Nor do I ride those hotshot powered sleds. I’ve never caught a walleye even though I’ve tried hard and under the tutelage of some of the best walleye fishermen around. I wrote a piece once about how I can’t tell a bottom bump from a bite. But I have had three very memorable rides on the mighty Columbia River, rides that cannot, in my limited im agination, ever be topped. I rode the Sundial, with a full tow of cargo down the river one night as I followed a container of alfalfa from field to export dock. (I’m still waiting for the trip to see it arrive on the other end.) I’ll never forget jumping from one tug boat to another, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the channel with water rushing under my flying feet as both boats steamed ahead at full throttle. I’ll always remember the subdued light in the pilot house, the distant navigation lights and the hushed discussion associated with working the night away doing the job of hauling the Pacific Nor thwest’s freight on the river. These river boat men move nine million tons of cargo on the Columbia every year, from Lewiston, Idaho, Pasco, Washington, Boardman and Portland, Oregon and back again. In the faint lights and the wee hours of the morning, it’s a world away where even the conversation is in gentler tones. I rode the Legend upriver from Vancouver one afternoon as she brought the Captain A1 James home to Boardman. The Legend was formerly call ed the Leland James, named after the CEO of Consolidated Freightways and son of the real Captain A1 James, an old sternwheeler captain. The tugboat of the same name was built in Pasco in 1939, the last and the big gest of the fast-water tugs. Saved from the scrap heap by a generous gift by Tidewater Barge Lines, the Captain A1 James now rides her moorage at the Port of Morrow awaiting restoration and public display. It was hard not to imagine the rush of rapids and the dangerous rocks the Captain A1 James must have seen in days past. His easy to listen to those accounts by retired river Captains like Dan Creamer, the last to command the Cap tain A1 James. The most recent memorable ride was last week aboard the Lady Washington. A replica of the historic sailing ship of the same name, the Lady Washington was cruising the river to spur interest in the celebration next year of the 200th anniversary of the exploration of the Columbia by Captain Robert Gray. While he actually sailed in over the bar in a ship named the Columbia, the Lady Washington was his ship on the first visit to the Pacific Northwest in 1788. My cruise on the Lady was for only four hours but my imagination was wild. I could feel the great adventure of the trip from Boston around the Horn to the shores of the Oregon country. Gray’s travels were inspired by the wealth to be found in the fur trade between Oregon and China, and back to Boston with tea. His journals indicate that he immediately recogniz ed the river he named for the ship he was then sailing as a great avenue of commerce. My examination of the river was in reverse order in a way. The Lady Washington came last, while the event and history she calls to mind came first. The Captain A1 James came in the middle of course, historically that is. But the first trip on the Sundial should have been last. Whatever the sequence, I have grown to appreciate the Columbia River as it was and is with a keen interest, sparked by three memorable voyages. It is important to be interested in our history, and to learn about it so that we may apply the things we learn to the future. But I do not think it is possible no desireable to return to those former times. 1 am fearfal that many folks think we can return to an earlier time, restore things to their former condition, undo what has been done. We cannot return the Pacific Northwest to the wilderness Captain Gray explored, nor can we restore the wild river that the tug boat Captain A1 James navigated. We should, of course, apply the lessons of the past to our future and one of those lessons is this: Men like Captain Robert Gray and Captain A1 James and the many Cap tains of the Sundial and the Legend, and all their men, saw that forward was the only way to turn. From them we should learn that our future must be tempered by our past, but forward we must go. We simply cannot go back.
