Vancouver Children’s Opera! I
didn’t even know that we had one. That is very sad because so many in
our community are working to bring fine arts to Clark County. Val Ogden,
past Representative for the 49th District, continues to press for an
Arts Center in Vancouver. Betty Sue Morris, past Clark County
Commissioner, now heads the Board of Directors of the very fine Vancouver Symphony.
Pat LaCroix, a local jewelry artist from Battle Ground, is sending out press releases regarding the Vancouver Children’s Opera. The group is proudly announcing the date for it’s next production of Gian Carlo Menotti’s classic opera Amahl and the Night Visitors on
Friday, October 23rd and Saturday the 24th at 7 PM and Sunday, October
25th at 3 PM. All performances will be held at Hough Elementary School
at 1900 Daniels Street in Vancouver.

Representing Washington’s 3rd District Congressman
Advice from Baird regarding H1N1 flu.
|
1. Make prevention the first line of defense
|
|
|
H1N1
can be spread when someone with the flu coughs or sneezes on you, or
when you touch something with flu virus on it and then touch your eyes,
nose, or mouth. With that in mind, we should all try to make it a
routine to wash our hands often with soap and water, and try to sneeze
into our sleeve or a tissue whenever possible. These steps are easy,
but they only work if everyone participates.
|
|
|
2. Know the symptoms and if you’re sick: Stay home
|
|
|
H1N1
and the seasonal flu have similar symptoms. With both, you will have a
fever, cough, sore throat, stuffy nose; achiness, headache, chills and
fatigue. Sometimes H1N1 causes diarrhea and vomiting. Both H1N1 and
seasonal flu can be severe and occasionally deadly. If you’re sick,
stay home and don’t risk spreading the disease to your friends and
coworkers.
|
|
|
3. Talk to your health care provider about getting vaccinated
|
|
|
In
addition to the normal flu shot, there is a vaccine for H1N1. It is
best for you to consult with your health care provider to find out how
the vaccine will be available in your area and if it is appropriate for
you or members of your family.

The
Washington State Department of Health has developed an extensive page
with information on how you can better prepare yourself for the H1N1
flu. You can access it by clicking here. |
