The Teddy Bear Clinic is an experiential activi- ty that replicates a visit to the emergency room. Par- ticipants are given a teddy bear and then participate in the admission process, describing symptoms and giving a health history of the stuffed animal. Ap- propriate medical tests are performed, a diagnosis is provided and discharge in- structions are given. “It’s kind of a fun pro- cess,” Brenaman said. “It’s interactive for the kids and they get to leave with a ted- dy bear.” The exercise, Bre- naman said, helps in fa- miliarizing kids with the process of ER visits, which helps in reducing fears they may have with going to the hospital. Treadwell also is excited about the Food Hero booth. Hermiston High School FCCLA students will assist in that area, which features the preparation (and sam- pling) of healthy snacks. In addition, thanks to a do- nation from Dave’s Killer Bread, people will get to take a loaf of bread home with them. Other activities, Tread- well said, include being fit- ted for bicycle helmets, car seat checks and exercise programs such as yoga and tai chi. From prenatal to se- nior citizens, there will be something for everyone, she said. “What I love about this is it’s not just one person or organization,” Treadwell said. “This is the commu- nity coming together to do something to benefit the entire community.” For more information, contact the Good Shep- herd’s education depart- ment at 541-667-3509 or healthinfo@gshealth.org.

Shelley Bowden, the as- sistant manager at Shari’s, said she thought the move would have a major impact on local businesses. “We definitely see a spike in business, usually about a week before,” she said.” Monica Todd, the man- ager at Nookie’s Restau- rant, said the move would lower sales for that week- end. “It’s a big push for us,” she said. “It would proba- bly take about 30 percent of our revenue each day.” Todd said typically, graduates get a free dessert that weekend, and they see an increase in pre-order and to-go sales. She said some of that will likely still go on if people come back from the Tri-Cities to celebrate in Hermiston. Todd said while gradua- tion isn’t the busiest week- end of the year for Nook- ie’s, she has to hire extra staff for that weekend. “It’s one of our more prominent weekends,” she said. She said they understand finances have to be consid- ered and the district has to do what’s best for them. “We’ve just been wait- ing for the decision so we can adjust,” she said. Kennison Field and EO- TEC were eliminated from the running after the last board meeting. The survey expires Fri- day, Sept. 22.
