Kids at Stratton Elementary load up on healthy snacks through program for low-income familiesBY JANELLE ATYEOOF THE MINER
NEWPORT – Each Thursday when the school bell rings closing the day of class at Stratton Elemen-tary in Newport, 50 students stop by the cafeteria to grab a blue backpack bulging with snacks for the next seven days.
The bags are filled with fresh fruit, 100 percent juice, string cheese, whole-wheat crackers, nuts and other wholesome snacks. They go to children from low-income families. The idea is to get them choosing healthy snack options and learning about portion size.
The Stratton Elementary Healthy Kids snack bag program was started in February by guidance counselor Krista Young, who has been with the district for three years. The snack bags are a hit with the kids. “They absolutely love it,” Young said.
“They get more of a variety than they would get otherwise,” said Melissa Ray, whose kinder-gartener and fourth grader bring home snack bags each week. She said there are enough snacks for all four of her children to share.
The snack bag program is funded entirely by donations. Young hopes to serve more children as funding allows. Currently, the limit is 50. Young said they selected kids by first looking at who was on the free and reduced cost lunch
program. As many as 69 percent of the students at Stratton are on that program. Young also talked to some students, teachers and the principal as well as the food service represen-tative to narrow the list and decide
who could use the free snack bags the most right now.
Young got the idea from read-ing news
stories on similar programs. “I thought it would be great to
bring this out to this community because we are an impoverished area,” she said.
When families have trouble mak-ing ends meet, their child’s nutrition can suffer. And when nutrition suffers, kids’ performance at school can begin to slip.
“We want them to focus on aca-demics and now worry about where the next meal is coming from,” Young said.
Young is noticing the snack bag programs having an affect on other areas of the kids’ performance at school.
Because the kids are responsible for returning their snack bags to have them refilled each week, they’ve been more attentive about
remembering to bring their home-work, permission slips and other things from home.
It costs $3.50 per week per child to provide the snack bags. Local clubs and businesses have helped out with donations, and the snacks are purchased through the school’s school lunch program to get a bet-ter rate.
To make a donation of your own, contact Young at the elementary school (509-447-0656 extension 1513) or on her cell phone (509-481-8880). Payments can be made to Stratton Elementary Healthy Kids.

Newport Hospital First
What is a stroke? It’s a brain attack. When the heart isn’t getting enough blood (therefore oxygen), we call it a heart attack. So, when the brain is deprived of blood/oxygen an attack or stroke is the result. In general, there are two kinds of stroke – blockages and bleeds. Although they are
treated differently, the symptoms are the same. Folks can experience one or several of the following…
• Sudden weakness on one side of the body.• Sudden inability to speak or slurred speech.• Dif� culty swallowing.• Confusion, impaired memory or inability to organize thoughts.• Dif� culty walking. Loss of balance.• Sudden severe headache with no known cause.Many of the stroke patients I’ve seen over the years have ignored
these early warning signs. Why? Because there’s often very little or no pain involved. They think the symptoms will just go away on their own. However, this kind of thinking is very costly. Every minute the brain is deprived of proper blood � ow means brain tissue is dying. For best outcome, doctors have a short four (4) hour window from the � rst onset of symptoms to begin proper treatment. For you and I living in a rural area, our timeline is hindered by distance not only to Newport Hospital, but to the nearest stroke center in Spokane.
That’s why Newport Hospital is partnering with Spokane area hospitals and Northwest MedStar Critical Care Transport to cut that timeline – giving rural patients a better chance to survive. The FAST Stroke partnership is patterned after our very successful Level One Cardiac Care program where folks experiencing chest pain come to Newport Hospital FIRST for diagnosis (through EKG) and stabilization.
With Level One Cardiac Care, if a clot is suspected, physicians make the call to MedStar and Spokane. While the patient is being transported by helicopter, the Spokane’s Cardiac Cath Lab team is assembling for
immediate treatment upon arrival. Our goal is for all this to take place in 90 minutes or less. And it’s worked. So can the FAST Stroke partnership, but only with the help of the community. For lives to be saved and stroke survivors to have better body function, we need strong education to recognize stroke symptoms. That’s where the FAST Stroke Protocol comes in. This is what Pend Oreille County folks need to know to recognize a stroke…
FACE: Does the face look uneven? Ask them to smile.
ARMS: Does one arm drift down? Ask them to raise both arms.
SPEECH: Does their speech sound strange? Ask them to repeat a simple phrase
such as, “The grass is greener.” Can they do it? Are their words slurred?
TIME to get help! Call 9-1-1 immediately at any sign of a stroke and get to Newport
Hospital.
Chest Pain? Newport Hospital FIRST!Newport Hospital and other rural hospitals have made a commitment to patients that come into the emergency room with chest pain that they will receive the best care possible before being sent on to a cardiac unit at a larger urban hospital.

• Timely treatment at regional Cardiac Catheter Lab
Although some heart attacks come on quickly, the majority begin slowly with mild pain or discomfort and build.
• CHEST DISCOMFORT that lasts more than a few minutes, goes away and comes back. Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, indigestion or pain.
• ATYPICAL DISCOMFORT OR PAIN in one or both arms, the back or stomach.
• SHORTNESS OF BREATH with or without chest pain.• COLD SWEATS, LIGHTHEADEDNESS OR NAUSEA.#1 Heart Attack symptom in both men and women...
Chest pain or discomfort, but women are more likely to experience shortness of breath, nausea and back and jaw pain than men.
THE GOAL is to have an EKG completed and ready to be read within 10 minutes after a patient with chest pains enters the hospital.
Within 30 minutes of arrival, the testing will have been completed and a consultation made with a cardiac specialist to determine if a thrombolytic agent should be administered.
(These agents are given to stop heart damage during a heart attack, but should not be administered unless it has been established that the patient is actually having a heart attack.)
Within 120 minutes, the patient will already be at an urban cardiac care center and undergoing a heart catheterization.
With Level One Cardiac Care, the experts at Spokane Medical Centers recommend Pend Oreille County and surrounding area patients make Newport Hospital their FIRST stop in a cardiac emergency.
Bath salt products used as synthetic drugs banned
OLYMPIA – The Washington State Board of Pharmacy has filed emergency rules intended to slow the rising use of so-called “bath salts” as substitutes for cocaine and methamphetamine. The rule was filed April 15 and was effec-tive immediately.
The board’s action followed a report showing that the Washing-ton State Poison Center is getting a growing number of calls about people who’ve ingested these products. Half of these calls came from hospital emergency rooms. According to the Poison Center, there’s been a three-fold increase (to 39) already this year over the total number of “bath salt” inges-tion calls in 2010.
Sold widely as “bath salts,”
products such as Ivory Wave, Red Dove, Zoom, and others contain stimulants called substituted cathinones that affect behavior and judgment.
These bath salts have a high po-tential for abuse and are danger-ous to human health, according to the state Department of Health. They’re typically inhaled, similar to snorting cocaine.
Bath salt products are sold widely in smoke shops, head shops, and online.
The board voted to classify the products as Schedule I controlled substances in Washington, mak-ing it illegal to make, sell, de-liver, or possess them. Idaho and Oregon have also banned these substances.
FDA to ban misleading sunscreen labelsVOCUS/PRWEB
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The U.S. Food and Drug Administra-tion is taking action to require sunscreen labels to accurately rate the protection offered against the sun’s harmful rays.
Under the new regulation, the agency has proposed that sun-screen labeling be expanded to provide a four-star rating system that informs consumers how well the product protects them against Ultraviolet A (UVA) light, the major cause of skin cancer. A UVA star rating would be prominently displayed on sunscreen labels, near the SPF rating.
UVA and UVB are types of ultra-violet (UV) radiation emitted by the sun. Although the atmosphere’s ozone layer shields us from most of this radiation, the UV light that gets through can cause problems.
UVB light is primarily respon-sible for sunburn. UVA light pen-etrates the skin more than UVB light does, and causes tanning. Both types of UV light contribute to premature skin aging, skin cancer, and other types of skin damage.
Currently, sunscreen labels are required to carry a “Sunburn Protection Factor” (SPF) value that informs potential users how well the product protects against UVB light.
“For more than 30 years, consumers have been able to identify the level of UVB protec-tion provided by sunscreens using only sunburn protection factor or SPF values,” said Andrew C. von Eschenbach, M.D., Commissioner, Food and Drugs. Under this pro-posal, “consumers will also now know the level of UVA protection
in sunscreens, which will help them make informed decisions about protecting themselves and their children against the harmful effects of the sun.”
With the proposed UVA rating system one star will represent low UVA protection; two stars, medium protection; three stars, high protection; and four stars, the highest UVA protection available in an over-the-counter (OTC) sun-screen product.
If a sunscreen product does not rate at least one star, FDA is pro-posing that its labeling bear a “no UVA protection” marking on the front label, near the SPF value.
In addition to the new rating sys-tem, FDA wants sunscreen labels to advise consumers that using a sunscreen is just one way they can protect themselves against the sun. Limiting time in the sun and
wearing protective clothing as part of a comprehensive sun protection regimen are other recommenda-tions that would be prominently displayed on labels. Using sun-screens liberally and reapplying frequently would also be advised.
There would be changes to SPFs as well. The FDA has proposed amending its existing rule on UVB products to increase the maximum sunburn protection factor from SPF 30+ to SPF 50+.
According to Mike Koenig from the FDA’s non-prescription regula-tion development team, the FDA has been working on the regula-tion since 2007. As of last month, he said the final rule has been writ-ten for the new regulation, and it was with the office of management and budget. It should be approved

Healing energy: The qigong focus
FILE PHOTO
Qigong is a slow, gentle exercise meant to focus your energy. Classes will practice at T.J. Kelly park in Newport this summer.
Newport exercise class uses Chinese method to focuses your energy and promote healthy mind, body and spiritBY JANELLE ATYEOOF THE MINER
NEWPORT – Looking for a way to start your week focused and relaxed? Fitness instructor Robin Clemens may have the thing for you.
Clemens will teach qigong classes Monday mornings through the summer at T.J. Kelly Park in downtown Newport.
Qigong (pro-nounced chee-gung) means “ener-gy exercise.” The ancient Chinese exercise uses breathing and slow movements to strengthen and focus your energy.
“It’s a very simple way to tap into your own energy,” Clemens explained. The idea is to learn how to use that positive energy when you’re faced with a dilem-
ma. “It helps make life’s ups and
downs stay more in the middle,” Clemens said. “That’s where you find inner peace and joy and con-tentment.”
She hopes the focus will remind people to live in the moment and be grateful for the little things that we tend to miss in our busy lives.
One misconcep-tion is that qigong is a type of religion. While some religious communities use it as part of their medi-cation, qigong itself if not religious.
“I’m not here to judge anybody or preach to anybody,”
Clemens said. “All I’m doing is giv-ing them the power to feel better.”
For the last two years, Clem-ens has been leading free qigong classes at the Newport City Park. This year, the classes will be held at the downtown T.J. Kelly Park, across from the post office on
“You can have a gorgeous body, but if you’re stressed out, you’re still ill.”

Washington Avenue and First Street. Clemens said the ground is more even there, and she likes that the fountain will provide calming background noise. She’s thankful the city agreed to let her use the newly completed park.
Classes start June 6 and con-tinue each Monday from 8-8:45 a.m. through Aug. 29. There will be no class on the Fourth of July. Since many people are in and out of town for vacations during the summer months, Clemens encour-ages people to stop by when they can. There will be review of the moves, and the class is not strictly structured.
“You don’t need to commit to every classes,” she said. “It’s so simple. Every day you’ll learn
something.” Those interested in taking the
class can simply show up. There are no sign-up sheets or registra-tion. Those wondering if they are able to participate for health rea-sons should consult a physician.
Clemens said she can modify the practice for anyone with an injury or disease. She is a personal trainer with a group exercise certification.
Clemens has been into fitness for decades. She and her hus-band, Kevin Penttila, owned and operated the Club Energy gym in Newport for 15 years.
Clemens continues to teach there, and they still own the building.
For the last seven years, Cle-mens has been working with holistic education, incorporating
the mind, body and spirit instead of just working out the muscles or working down body fat. She took a five-year certification program, which was a springboard to her work with qigong and tai chi.
“I realized it’s the overall,” she said. “You can have a gorgeous body, but if you’re stressed out, you’re still ill.”
For five months of the year Cle-mens and Penttila live in Kauai.
There, Clemens took the opportu-nity to study qigong with one of the world’s eight grand masters of the art. This year, Clemens trained under a master of tai chi, which is a style of qigong. She’ll incorpo-rate some of those moves into her classes this year and plans to get more into tai chi in the coming years.
Those wanting to join the sum-mer classes should come dressed in
comfortable clothing that allows them to move easily. Comfortable shoes or no shoes at all are recom-mended. Unlike yoga, all moves are done standing up. Clemens sug-gests layers in case you get warm and to bring water.
She also said to bring a friend:
“The more people, the more energy, the more you get from this class.”
Just being with others in the out-doors is a benefit, she said. “Even if the exercises do nothing for you, at least you’re trying to do something good for yourself,” she added.
