Flu Season PreparationBy Evan Kramer

Flu season is upon usand the Oregon MedicalInsurance Pool (OMIP)has sent out a timelynewsletter entitled “BePrepared for the Coldand Flu Season.”

Their definition of flu is as follows: Theflu is a contagious respiratory illnesscaused by influenza viruses. It can causemild to severe illness, and at times canlead to death. While most healthy peoplerecover from the flu without complica-tions, some people, such as older people,young children, and people with certainhealth conditions are at high risk forserious complications from the flu.”

Flu symptoms include fever (usuallyhigh), headache, tiredness (can be ex-treme), cough, sore throat, runny or stuffynose, body aches, diarrhea and vomitingalso can occur but are most common inchildren.

According to the OMIP newsletter thenumber one way to protect against get-ting the flu is to get vaccinated each fall(NOW!) Other ways to prevent the fluare washing your hands frequently, cov-ering your nose and mouth when cough-ing or sneezing – with a tissue or arms –

Not with your hands, not putting yourhands around your eyes, mouth or noseuntil you have washed your hands, andavoiding people who cough and sneeze(not easy in my opinion, unless you gointo hiding).

OMIP defines those at high risk of get-ting the flu as people 65 years or older,children ages six months to 23 months,residents of long-term care facilities,people ages 2-64 with chronic illnesses,pregnant women, health care personnelwho provide direct patient care, andhousehold contacts and out-of-home car-egivers of children under six months old.

The OMIP newsletter says there are nodrugs that your doctor can prescribe tocure the flu or a cold. They recommendas much bed rest as possible, takingaspirin, acetaminophen or ibuprofen ev-ery four hours as relief for fever andmuscle aches. They recommend givingchildren ibuprofen or acetaminophen butnot to give aspirin to a child without adoctor’s direction. It is recommended todrink lots of fluids with emphasis onwater and fruit juices and to eat a properdiet. Also recommended is drinking hottea with honey and eating, you guessedit, chicken soup. OMIP admits no oneknows why chicken soup works but ac-cording to their newsletter, steaming

chicken soup clears the mucus out of thenasal passages very effectively.

Mark Twain Reappearsby Evan Kramer

Mark Twain came into this world withHaley’s Comet in 1835 and died thesame year the comet made it’s next ap-pearance in 1910. The most famous ofAmerican authors left his mark with doz-ens of books that are still in print, beingread, and will remain so for the readablefuture. Ernest Hemingway said of Twain,“All modern American literature comesfrom one book by Mark Twain calledHuckleberry Finn.”

Mark Twain made an appearance in GoldBeach a couple of weeks ago on Saturdaynight at the Gold Beach Bookstore. Twainappeared in the form of actor RobertScheppler, a 68 year old resident ofBrookings who sometimes plays the partof Mark Twain. He looked the part withhis long wavy white hair, full mustache,and white linen suit.

Scheppler presented material from sev-eral of Twain’s writings including the“Advantage of Accident Insurance”, alengthy selection from Huckleberry Finnand the “Begum of Bengal”. He didn’t dodry readings from Twain’s book but be-came Twain, speaking in a Missouritwang to us the audience and meanderingaround the stage for his “talk.”

Scheppler’s Mark Twain was presentedin the Biscuit Showroom on the secondfloor of Gold Beach Books. It’s a smallintimate room lined with rare books andseats about 40 people comfortably. Atintermission as part of the dessert the-ater, as the evening was called, thoseattending were treated to a large selec-tion of desserts, fruit and gourmet cof-fees, all as part of the $12 admission.

Gold Beach Books is worth the drive togo visit if you haven’t been down there

yet. The large two-story store has over50,000 books for sale. This is quite im-pressive for a city of 2,000 people. Theyhave a selection of new books, a largeselection of books by local authors, andshelves and shelves of used books. Thestore has a comfortable coffee bar with anice selection of pastries and plenty oftables to spread out and read a variety ofnewspapers from around the country.

Ted Watkins, the owner of the book-store, introduced Robert Scheppler. Heexplained how Samuel Clemens, a boyfrom Missouri, came to change his nameto Mark Twain (had to do with Clemens’days on the Mississippi River and thedepth measurements of the river (“marktwain” = 2 fathoms deep). You can seewhen you visit Ted Watkins’s bookstorethat for him it is a labor of love and a giftto the south coast.

Christmas BoxesMay thanks to the volunteers of the PortOrford Senior Center for putting on the“Fifth Sunday Breakfast” on October 30to benefit the Common Good. It was ahuge success with more than $300 raisedtoward keeping food on the shelves tohelp those who come up short at the endof the month and have to choose betweenfood on the table or paying rent or utili-ties.

It may seem early, but the preparationsfor the Christmas boxes are underwayalready. Recent catastrophic events inthe south and around the globe havecaused the government food subsidiesthat normally go to food pantries aroundthe state to be routed for these emergen-cies elsewhere. The Oregon Food Banksends food donations from grocery chainstores and private individuals in the Port-land area to fill the gaps. It’s still a gooddeal but shipping costs must still be paidby the Common Good.

So here is the problem faced by thevolunteers of the Common Good. Someitems for the Christmas boxes can usual-ly be filled from full pantry shelves, butthey aren’t very full this year. If Christ-

She is the author ofFrom Your Lips to God’s Ear, and Poi-son Ivy, Pets, & People, among otherworks.

Bookstore owner Ted Watkins reportsthat, “So many customers regularly re-quest information from our staff abouthow to get their manuscripts published,that we asked Heidi to provide a practicaladvice presentation.” Watkins adds,“Heidi has the hands-on experience whichmost would-be authors should find veryhelpful.”

Advance reservations for the free semi-nar are not necessary. Gold Beach Booksis located at the corner of Pacific High-way 101 and First Street in Gold Beach.

mas box food items are not donated, theywill have to be purchased. Some itemssuch as: cake mixes and icing, cannedvegetables and fruits, stuffing mix forthe turkeys, pudding mix, margarine,cranberry sauce, pie crust mix and bak-ing mix are non-existent or at best inshort supply on our shelves. Donationsof these food items or cash to buy themwould help fill the Christmas boxes thathelp bring holiday cheer to needy mem-bers of our community.

Last year 87 holiday boxes were provid-ed so needy families could have a festivemeal.
