the city treatment facility
to the former mill site and
spreading the effluent there
to keep it out of the creek.
There are apparently
issues with the flood plain
under that plan. After dis-
cussion, the council voted
to continue with options on
the sewer plant.
In o t h er b u s i n es s ,
the council discussed a
proposed grant program
from the county which
will see each city in the
county receiving a portion
of $200,000 the county has
allocated.
How the money is to
be divided has not yet been
determined by the county.
Because the Affordable Care Act has required all major medical health insurance
policies that went into effect 9/23/10 or after to cover certain preventive services
without out of pocket payment and no need to meet deductible first, there has been
continued confusion regarding Annual Preventative Care visits or Annual Wellness
visits (formerly known as the Annual Physical).
The descriptions below may be helpful in determining what is and isn’t
considered to be Preventive Care.
Preventive care focuses on evaluating your
current health status when you are symptom free. Preventive care allows you to
obtain early diagnosis and treatment to help avoid more serious health problems.
Through a preventive exam and routine health screenings, your medical provider
can determine your current health status and detect early warning signs of more
serious problems. Your preventive care services may include immunizations,
physical exams, lab work and x-rays. During your preventive visit your doctor will
determine what tests or health screenings are right for you based on many factors
such as your age, gender, overall health status, personal heath history and your
current health condition.
This isn’t Preventive Care:
Medical treatment for specific health
conditions, on-going care, lab or other tests necessary to manage or treat a
medical issue or health condition are considered diagnostic care or treatment, not
preventive care.

Free Spray Day in
Heppner May 25
Spike gets out to show support for Weed Awareness Week dur-
ing a past Free Spray Day in Heppner. Weed Awareness Week
is the third week in May. -File photo
By popular demand,
Morrow Soil and Water
Conservation District along
with the Natural Resources
Conservation Service will
again host “Free Spray
Days” in Morrow County.
Heppner’s Free Spray Day
will take place Thursday,
May 25, from 9 a.m. to
noon at Heppner City Park.
The SWCD began the
popular event several years
ago to promote watershed
health and weed control
to the citizens in Morrow
County.
Morrow County Grain
Growers has donated the
chemical Trimec again
this year. The herbicide,
labeled for broadleaves
in the landscape, will be
pre-mixed by a licensed
chemical applicator and
will be in a labeled one-
gallon container ready for
use. Information on weed
identification, water quality,
proper clothing and weather
conditions, conservation
programs and various other
educational materials will
also be presented. A coop-
erative agreement will be
required to be completed.
SWCD and its mascot,
“Spike,” also are planning
stops in Boardman (the
NAPA parking lot) on Mon-
day, May 22, and Irrigon
City Park on Tuesday, May
23.
