Wasco School continued… Bike Helmets Are So Cool, Even

Adults Wear Them!

Did you know that if you are under the age of 16, it is unlawful to ride a bicycle without a helmet? That is one good reason to wear a helmet. The other rea-son is that it is the safe thing to do. Here are two sobering facts:

- 857 bicyclists died on US roads in 2018, an increase of 6.3 per cent. - Fifty-four percent of bicyclists killed were not wearing helmets. Did you know that Helmet use has been estimated to reduce the odds of head injury by 50 percent, and the odds of head, face, or neck injury by 33 percent? If your child is in need of a helmet, please contact Shawn Payne at 541-565-3100 or stop by the Sherman County Emergency Services Building.

U.S. Census takers needed in Sherman

S.C. vaping rates significantly higher than across the state

The U.S. Census Bureau needs census taker to apply in Sherman County still! Census takers & supervisor positions from $16-$17.50 per hour plus 58 cents per mile.

participate in the 2019 survey.) About 27 percent of Wasco and Sherman 11th graders reported they’d vaped in the previous 30 days, which researchers consider an indication of regular use. Just four years ago, the number was 10 percent. Statewide, 21.4 percent of 11th graders reported vaping in the last 30 days. And while there’s been a shocking 300 percent increase statewide over the last two years in teen vaping of THC, it went up by an almost unbelievable 700 percent in Wasco and Sherman counties in the same period. In 2017 just 3.3 percent of Wasco and Sherman 11th graders reported vaping THC. By 2019, that number rocketed to 33.3 percent. Statewide, it went from 11.2 percent to 44.2 percent. Most of the people injured in the nation’s recent vaping crisis, which peaked last September, had vaped THC from illicit, or black market sources. The brains of teens are still maturing, and are particularly susceptible to both short- and long-term negative effects of any substance, including marijuana. It can negatively affect problem solving, memory, learning and attention span. For more information on the Oregon Healthy Teens Survey go to https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/BIRTHDEATHCERTIFICATES/SURVEYS/OREGONHEALTHYTEENS/pages/index.aspx For other resources related to vaping you can contact North Central Public Health District, Sherman County Prevention Department, and Smoke Free Oregon at quitnow.net By Neita Cecil Tobacco Prevention and Education Program coordinator North Central Public Health District

Vaping has literally reached epidemic proportions across the nation, state and our community. It was declared an epidemic by the U.S. surgeon general about a year ago. And that was before the recent national vaping crisis that has seen the deaths of 57 people, and over 2,600 hospitalized with lung injuries. They include two deaths and 20 illnesses in Oregon. Vaping is the inhalation of an aerosolized, heated liquid from a device. The devices come in a variety of sleek forms that can be easily mistaken for items in a book bag, like a flash drive. A huge array of flavored liquids are available, and most contain nicotine, which is the addictive ingredient in cigarettes. Other liquids contain THC, the ingredient in marijuana that pro-duces a “high.” While the number of smokers nationwide has steadily declined, vaping, a less regulated industry than tobacco, has swept in to addict a new generation to nicotine. North Central Public Health District would like to thank Sherman County School District for participating in the Oregon Healthy Teens Survey. The survey is done every two years of eighth and 11th graders. Because Sherman and Wasco counties are in a three-county health district, student data from both counties are counted together in the survey.

Spring is just around the corner, be aware that farming equipment and machinery will be on the roads. Yes, it isn’t fun going to work and getting stuck behind a slow-moving tractor, but remember the farmer is going to work in that tractor and his job is feeding you. Please drive accordingly. After thinking about this upcoming legislative session I thought this would be a perfect quote and I hope our

senators and representatives do as Abraham Lincoln said “Be sure you put
