Ione Market also came on board to provide ice and water, while Bank of Eastern Or- egon donated food money to feed the harvest crew. When the day came, nary. Around 50 volunteers arrived to begin work at 7 a.m. on Sunday. Some worked the grain elevators in Ione and North Lex, while others ran the 12 combines, eight bank-out wagons and 22 trucks that rolled in to get the job done. And done it was—as the volunteers finished each field, they joined those still the Morgan’s entire wheat harvest was in. “We did about three weeks’ worth of work in one day,” says LaRue. “We cannot express our appreciation to the crews that helped make the Mor- gan Harvest such a suc- cess,” the Morgan family stated in a thank-you to the community. “Having given us so much relief and allowed us the time to be in Texas to give our son, daughter in-law and grand- daughters the support they need.” The community is also planning to extend the help- ing hand to Karl and Lar- issa Morgan in Texas; see related story PAGE TWO.

Adolescent well care exams help ensure healthy kids Submitted by the Commu- nity Health Improvement Partnership of Morrow County. Physical, social and emotional changes dur- ing adolescence increase the need for continuous, comprehensive preventive health services. Adoles- cents are laying the founda- tion for lifestyle and behav- iors that persist into adult- hood; half of lifetime cases of mental health disorders begin showing symptoms by age 14. NOW HIRING DRIVERS Adolescents who can easily access preventive health services are more likely to be healthy and able to reach major life milestones. The Ameri- can Medical Association’s Guidelines for Adolescent Preventive Services, the federal Bright Futures guidelines, and the Ameri- can Academy of Pediatrics all recommend comprehen- sive annual check-ups for adolescents. During an adolescent well care exam, the pro- vider conducts a risk and strength assessment, listens to parent and youth con- cerns, conducts necessary screening and provides guidance on key health promotion priorities such as healthy weight, nutri- tion and physical activity, mental health, safety and injury prevention, and oral health. However, research shows most adolescents have not had a well-visit in the past year. Schedule an adolescent well care (AWC) exam today for kids age 11-21.
