Unplug any battery chargers or power adapters when not in use. Replace traditional incandescent light bulbs with ENERGY STAR compact flourescent light bulbs; they use less energy and last up to 10 times longer. Replace regular windows with ENERGY STAR qualified windows. Install an ENERGY STAR programmable thermostat and use the preprogrammed setting to save money each year on heating and cooling costs. Check for weather stripping on all outside windows and doors. Check for holes around outlets and electrical plates and seal with outlet gaskets. See if your attic, walls and underfloor are properly insulated. (Many local area insulation contractors offer free assessments.) Set your water heater to 120 degrees or lower to put less strain on your water heater. Consider replacing older appliances with ENERGY STAR models - refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines, and more. Seal all holes and spaces around plumbing in kitchens, bathrooms and washrooms.

Public Health operates very much “behind the scenes”. We’re not as visible as law enforcement or fire fighting, but we’re just as vital to the safety and well being of the community. For example, Public Health monitors and responds to outbreaks of diseases to control their spread and to prevent further illness. Public Health inspects restaurants and other food establishments to ensure safe and proper food handling and to ensure the food you eat is safe. All public drinking water systems are monitored for quality by Public Health. Public Health distributes vaccines to medical providers that are used to immunize you and your family. Public Health enforces regulations to make sure septic systems operate properly and pose no threat to human health. This kind of work often goes unnoticed – unless it isn’t being done. Public Health is working everyday for a safer and healthier community.

Facts about Cremation
OKANOGAN COUNTY CREMATORY • A “Crematory” is the facility where the cremation equipment is housed that actually performs the cremation process, and is therefore, the most essential and absolutely necessary part of cremation service. • The Okanogan County Crematory is, quite literally, the ONLY facility within over an 80 mile radius of Omak & Okanogan that can actually perform a cremation. • By using the 1st and only local crematory, families no longer have to deal with the extra costs, uncertainties and risks involved with paying a middle-man to take their family members on a 160 mile round trip for cremation in Wenatchee. • The Okanogan County Crematory arrangement office can be found in the Precht-Harrison-Nearents Chapel at 2547 Elmway in Okanogan.

Teen health Okanogan County teen health Sexually transmitted diseases There is a statewide epidemic of chlamydia. The rate of chlamydia increased again in 2005. In 2005, the most recent year for which statistics are available, there were 18,617 cases of chlamydia in Washington state and 124 cases in Okanogan County. Rates in Okanogan County have increased faster than the state rate. In Okanogan County during 2006, someone new was infected with a sexually transmitted disease every 2.5 days. Okanogan County has the seventh highest rate of chlamydia infection in the state, a rate higher than King or Spokane counties. An increasing proportion of those infected are school age children. The mean age of STD infection in Okanogan County has decreased from 29 yrs to 23 yrs. Approximately 70 percent of new cases are in those 15-24 years old. Pregnancy During the 1999-2003, pregnancy rates (births plus abortion) among 15to 17-year-old children in Okanogan County was 39.53 per 1,000, 19 percent higher than the state rate of
33.18 and eighth highest in the state. In Okanogan County, the percentage of pregnancies ending in abortion among 15- to 17-year-old children was 38.89 per 100 pregnancies, 13 percent lower than the state rate of 44.7 and 23rd lowest in the state. While teen pregnancy has declined in both Washington state and Okanogan County, the rate in Okanogan remains higher than the state rate. In 2004, 2.54 percent of births were to children under 18 yrs, 25 percent higher than the state rate and 19th highest in the state. Birth risk factors in Okanogan exceed those statewide.

In 2004, 15.46 percent of the births in Okanogan County were premature, 55 percent higher than the state rate and third highest in the state. There appears to be a relationship between chlamydia rates and premature births. In 2004, 7.82 percent of births in Okanogan County delivered underweight babies, a rate 26 percent higher than the state rate and seventh highest in the state. In 2004, 13.4 percent of mothers in Okanogan County smoked while pregnant, a rate 33 percent higher than
