Hwy 74, in Lexington from 10a.m. - 2 p.m. and again on Sunday, September 2 1, at North End Transfer Station, 69900 Frontage Lane in Boardman from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Morrow County is holding the event in conjunction with the Oregon Department o f Environmen tal Quality (DEQ). DEQ funds the event through landfill disposal fees. Common items to be collected include aerosol cans, antifreeze, engine cleaners, fluorescent tubes, her bicides, household batteries, mercury products, motor oil, paints, pesticides, solvents, thermometers, weed killers and wood preservatives. These items should be kept in their original containers if possible. Persons should not bring waste items such as explosives or products that contain radioactive waste, such as smoke detectors. All collected materials will be handled by a state hazardous waste contractor. The materials will be screened for usable products such as latex paint, and will be made available to local residents for reuse. Remaining materials will be taken to a permitted hazardous waste facility. After final processing, these materials will be sent to reuse, re cycling, energy recovery and incineration facilities. More than 60 percent o f the collected materials are burned for energy recovery or recycled. Most o f the remaining materi als are either incinerated or placed in the hazardous waste landfill in Arlington. According to national estimates, each home con tains three to eight gallons o f hazardous materials. Each year the average U.S. family throws out 15 pounds of these toxic products. In addition, family members are at risk around this hazardous waste. When mishandled or disposed o f improperly, these products can cause lung irritation, bums, blindness, even death. Children and pets are extremely vulnerable. Disposing o f toxic substances in yards or landfills can leach into soil, polluting ground- water and streams, harming wildlife and contaminating drinking water. For more information about the event, contact: Morrow County Public Works, (5 4 1) 989-9500; DEQ Bruce Lumper, (5 4 1) 298-7255 ext.40; or visit DEQ’s web site at www.deq.state.or.us and turn to the household hazardous waste web page at www.deq.state.or.us/wmc/ solwaste/hhw.htm. BEO Bancorp YTD Earnings up 16.3% Bank o f Eastern Oregon and its parent company, BEO Bancorp, reports earnings year to date o f $ 1,208,000 through June 30,2008. This is a 16.3% increase over YTD 2007 earnings o f $1,039,000. These positive results come because o f continued loan growth, up 25.4% year over year for total loans of $ 164,747,000, and despite reserving $340,000 for loan losses during the first half o f the year. Earnings for the second quarter o f2008 were down slightly at 2.1% because o f this strong reserve stance. Total assets grew 11.6% to $219,098,000 and total deposits increased 3.3% to $174,413,000, compared to 6/30/07 totals. “We are pleased to again report a year-to-date increase in earnings despite a challenging banking land scape,” said President and CEO, E. George Koffler. “The Board o f Directors is taking a positive and pro-active ap proach to building loan loss reserves during this time of strong earnings, but economic times test the quality and strength o f our loan portfolio,” Koffler concluded.

Mock pediatric trauma to be held Morrow County Undersheriff Steve Myren and Phillip Engle at the state EMS office, who interact regularly with the Oregon Trauma System, have collaborated with pediatric trauma specialists and have developed a train ing to be held on Sunday, July 27, beginning at 11 a.m. in Heppner. The mock pediatric trauma will be initiated at the Morrow County Fairgrounds with EMS and then trans ported to Pioneer Memorial Hospital Emergency Room The morning o f Sunday, July 27, two pediatric trauma specialists from OHSU, Drs. Garth Meckler and David Spiro, will travel to Heppner. They will be bring ing their “great new wireless child manikin,” as well as an infant manikin with the same capabilities. They are proposing that EMS respond to a scene o f an ATV accident where the manikin will be programmed. EMS will assess, extricate, and transport the manikin to Pioneer Memorial. Upon arrival at PMH, the nursing staff and Dr. Berretta will proceed as if it were a real case. They stress that they are not trying to trick anyone with the scenario, but are hoping to pay attention to how the staff communicate with one another and run through a basic primary and secondary survey, make any interven tions or do any testing that they would normally do, and then arrange for a trauma transfer to OHSU. Dr. Meckler will prepare their communication center for a mock call. With this manikin, medical staff can place IVs, run fluids, put in an lO, and get all vital signs, and cues from the manikin. Any lab tests or imaging would be asked for and some radiographs and numbers will be returned. OHSU has been doing simulations for a couple o f years now for their nurses at OHSU and doing mock codes with the residents, nurses and EMTs focused on clear communication and teamwork. After the simulation, there will be a hands-on demo o f the equipment and a discussion about how the case went.
