The INDEPENDENT, September 20, 2000 By Karen Miller When my kids were little, I’d dress them in garage-sale attire. To this day, I’ll brake for one. Just ask the lady who wondered why I was racing up to her front porch to rummage through her clothes as she happened to hang them out to dry! Did you enjoy Vernonia’s Community Garage Sale? I’ve heard reports of many people doing well. The Senior Center did well, thank you. A special Wish you had an extra car and driver? c ° Lco Let COLCO transport you or your children to the Golf Course, Library, School, an appointment or shopping. CALL thanks to Willie Brewer, Jac queline Ramsay, Fyme Taylor and Lorraine Parce for running the garage sale, and to Brian Quaschnick for setting up and tearing down our sale. The ladies couldn’t have done it without you! There is still time to buy tick ets for Nellie Tipton’s quilt. Ticket sales have picked up lately and the drawing is not until the last day of the Christ mas Bazaar. The city council held a meeting to seek information/questions about building a new senior center and assisted living facility in Vernonia. There was some mix-up about the time, but a good crowd was on hand. Comments and questions were reasonable and thought- provoking. Keep an eye on this issue... We are trying to organize a fall clean-up day for seniors. Rejoice! 1 -888-GO COLCO Public Transportation for ALL Chnrah Bnlletin Bloaptrs Columbia County Citizens.

We are also trying to acquire firewood for seniors at reduced cost, or free to needy seniors. At this time, we are not sure if we can do it, but we will try. It has come to my attention that someone has been “div ing” in our dumpster. A word to the wise: We put smelly stuff in there, and broken glass and dirty things. Please stay out of our dumpster, we give no one permission to get in there. It has been a great month! Isn’t it glorious to live here in God’s country?! I’m looking forward to the fall colors and aromas. And, I have to admit, I haven’t been able to wait for my apples to get ripe. They taste so good, even green! Take care of yourself and come join us for lunch and conversation. Lee Knowlton, Branch President 1350 E. Knott Street Vernonia, 429-7151 ByAudeen Wagner Prescription Policy Reminder: Prescriptions are often ordered for clinic patients from Hi School Pharmacy in St. Helens, and they are delivered by courier the next day. It is important that the patient pick up the medicine within 72 hours. If you are unable to pick up your prescription when notified, please make arrangements for the clinic to hold the prescription for you until you can pick it up. Prescriptions not picked up will be returned to the pharmacy after 72 hours. This is a valuable service to our community, making it possi ble for patients to get the medicines they need without making a special trip to a drug store. The Providence Staff appreciates their patients’ cooperation. Please contact Tana if you have questions or concerns. • Mammovan schedule: The mammovan schedule for the rest of this year is November 15 and December 20. Sched ules for the new year will be out soon. You may call the clinic to schedule. New Medical Technician: Jeanette Doherty is the new Medical Assistant at Providence Family Medicine-Vernonia. Jeanette has 10 years of experience in her field and is qualified as an x-ray technician. This personable lady graduated Rho Theta Kappa (that means with very high honors) from Mt. Hood Community College in their Medical Assistance Program, and has worked for Providence Clinics around the area for most of her career. Jeanette is a single mom and a Vernonia resident, having lived here about a year with her teenage daughter. She likes the small town atmosphere here and the people. Being an outdoor person, she enjoys the hiking trails and clean air of the country. Beside hiking, other hobbies include dancing, “any kind”, and gardening. “I am really enjoying my work at the clinic, and especially like not having a long commute every day,” she says.
